39XX/51XX overview 3-
Cienas Packet Networking portfolio combines Service Delivery and

Aggregation Switches and Service Aware Operating System (SAOS) software
to create the infrastructure necessary for low-touch, high velocity Carrier
Ethernet access and metro networks, and provide a common, consistent way
to deliver the full range of Ethernet services from the access edge to the core.
Cienas Packet Networking products enable service providers to realize new

levels of speed, differentiation, operational scalability, and reliability in
delivering revenue-generating Ethernet business services, mobile backhaul
services, and residential broadband aggregation.
The switches deliver Ethernet services across multiple networks, applying

bandwidth management and virtual switching capabilities to deliver varying
amounts of data to different ports.
A switch accepts traffic, encapsulates the traffic in a secure envelope, and

then forwards the traffic to specified networks and network locations. Switches
receive data from an external source and forward that data to one or many
ports, as follows:
Network frames are received on physical ports.
Frames are associated with logical services.
Outgoing traffic is queued to physical ports based on logical services.
Data frames are forwarded based on allocated bandwidth.
Data enters a switch on a physical port. Physical ports on a switch are mapped
to logical ports. These logical ports (also referenced as logical interfaces) are
attached to virtual switches or VLANs within a switch. A switch forwards the
data to connections that are linked to the virtual switches or VLANs. A switch
maintains queues on the egress ports as part of the CoS policy. CoS allows a
switch to allocate bandwidth to certain ports and schedule the transit of data
through the ports specified.

Aggregation devices
Aggregation devices are Cienas Service Aggregation Switches (SAS), which
are available with a range of 10/100M Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and
10 GbE physical port counts. This enables them to better fill the transport
facilities within both the metro access and aggregation tiers and ultimately
minimize the number of IP/MPLS router ports with which they interwork.
Aggregation devices can be deployed in a wide variety of locations, including
business parks, outside plant cabinets, and in central offices.

OneControl Unified Management System

Cienas OneControl Unified Management System provides a single solution
for network and service management capabilities across the whole portfolio of
Cienas Packet Networking, Transport, and Switching services.
By providing a single, central platform that works in concert with several

otherwise separate Ciena Element Management Systems (EMSes),
OneControl provides a consistent look and feel for monitoring and managing
fault, performance management, service management, and provisioning
across the Layer 0, Layer 1, and Layer 2 network services. OneControl
operators can use a common interface to view and respond to alarms raised
by any managed NE in the network, any of the supported or integrated
EMSes, and OneControl itself.
In addition to its own native network management capabilities, OneControl

can be configured to interface with Ethernet Services Manager (ESM). ESM
shares all topology and alarm data with OneControl; so if a user adds or
deletes a network element from the network using ESM, that change is
reflected in OneControl as well. In the same way, acknowledging or clearing
an alarm using ESM is reflected in OneControl.
Ethernet Services Manager

Cienas Ethernet Services Manager (ESM) is a carrier-grade platform for
automated service activation, creation, and management for Ciena's Packet
Networking Service Delivery Switches and Service Aggregation Switches.
ESM enables subscriber-managed services and lets users efficiently build
and deploy large-scale Carrier Ethernet networks.
ESM is a comprehensive suite of integrated software tools built on a lowtouch,

service-oriented architecture that transparently handles the details of
deploying, delivering, and sustaining carrier Ethernet services.
Sample configurations
This section provides the following sample configurations:
Business services on page 3-10
Mobile backhaul on page 3-10
Purpose-built private networks on page 3-11
Cloud access on page 3-11

Business services
39XX/51XX switches can be deployed by service providers to support mobile,
cloud, business, residential, and wholesale services for increased revenues.
Service providers can connect Private Branch Exchanges (PBX) and Multi-
Tenant Units (MTU) to SDSs that communicate with SASs over Carrier
Ethernet and MPLS networks.
Figure 3-3 shows a sample business services configuration.
Figure 3-3
Sample business services configuration
Mobile backhaul
Service providers can configure a mobile backhaul solution that use the single
Packet Switching Network (PSN) to carry residential, commercial, and cellular
traffic, and so reduce mobile data transport costs. 39XX/51XX switches can
be deployed to receive signals from cell towers and transmit them to a central
exchange site.
Figure 3-4 shows a sample wholesale mobile backhaul
Figure 3-4
Sample wholesale mobile backhaul configuration

Purpose-built private networks

39XX/51XX switches can be deployed as a purpose-built private network. For
example, a hospital can choose to build a network that connects the main
hospital facility to a back-up data center, an x-ray and MRI facility, offices of
assisting physicians, and tele-health high-definition (HD) video services by
means of optical Ethernet services provided by 39XX/51XX switches.
Figure 3-5 shows a sample purpose-built private network configuration for a

medical application.
Figure 3-5
Sample configuration for purpose-built private networks
Cloud access
39XX/51XX switches can be configured to provide cloud access. For
example, a company can configure a connection between a branch office and
regional headquarters using SDSs. The branch office can then access the
public cloud and private cloud maintained by the regional headquarters.
Figure 3-6 shows a sample configuration for cloud access.

SAOS software 4-
SAOS software provides a common set of advanced Ethernet features that

improve operational efficiency from edge to core with consistent system and
service attributes.
SAOS software topics are:

Software management and licensing on page 4-1
Administration on page 4-2
Security on page 4-3
Configuration on page 4-5
Fault management on page 4-11
Performance management on page 4-19
Software management and licensing

This section provides an overview of software management and licensing.
Software management
Software upgrades and downgrades can be performed from the CLI, SNMP,
or by running command files. The upgrade process takes about 10 minutes to
complete. Upgrades for multiple switches in a network should take place in an
organized manner, for example, starting from the edge of the network and
working toward the core, or starting from the core and working toward to the
edge.
The in-service software upgrade keeps the data plane up and running while a
system is performing a software upgrade. Layer 2 traffic continues to flow
while the system upgrades its software and reboots. A management plane
outage still occurs. The in-service software upgrade is supported on the 3916,
3930-910, 3930-930, 3931, 3932, 3960, 5142, 5150 and 5160.
Software licensing
A license is a permit to use a premium feature. A license is considered
installed or uninstalled based on the presence of one or more license keys.
The system software comes with the Base-Features license and supports

4-2 SAOS software
premium features that require an additional installed license key. A premium

feature may consist of a portion of an existing feature, or it may consist of
multiple features.
A license key is a data object generated by the Ciena license administrator

and installed by an operator. License keys are encrypted and contain no
human readable information.
Administration
This section describes the protocols and techniques used in 39XX/51XX
Service Delivery and Aggregation Switches to configure and manage system
data and users.
System setup
System setup is performed by means of the following protocols:
IPv4 and IPv6: Switches communicate by means of IPv4 or IPv6.
Telnet client: Switches support a Telnet client for establishing Telnet
connections to other Telnet servers specified by a host name or IPv4 or
IPv6 address.
Telnet server: Telnet server enables support for users to connect to the
switch using the Telnet protocol.
DHCP client: Switches support DHCPv4 or DHCPv6. IETF RFC 2131
DHCP client interface is supported for IPv4 address assignment and other
IPv4 configurations through DHCP options. IETF RFC 3315 DHCPv6 is a
network protocol that is used for configuring IPv6 hosts with IP addresses
and other configuration information required to operate on an IPv6
network.
DHCP Relay Agent: In the residential, metropolitan Ethernet-access
environment, DHCP centrally manages the IP address assignment for a
large number of subscribers. The DHCP relay agent adds information to
the DHCP request that can be used by the DHCP server to assign
addresses. There are two types of DHCP relay agents which can be used
independently or together:
Layer 2 (L2) DHCP relay agent
Lightweight DHCPv6 relay agent (LDRA)
DNS: DNS resolves domain names for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Network Time Protocol (NTP): An NTP client is used by switches to
automatically synchronize time and date to a remote NTP server running
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP): NDP uses a Neighbor Discovery
cache database as new neighbor addresses are advertised to the node.

SAOS software 4-3
System access
System access to switches is by means of a CLI through Telnet or SSH, or
through a serial console port.
System shell operations

System shell operations allow the service provider to customize the switch
after installation.
Data collection and management

Data is collected and managed by means of:
RMON history groups
RMON automatic history entries
user history
RMON file settings
RMON information
system processes
system state dump files
Security
Service Delivery and Aggregation Switches to manage and protect resources
from unauthorized or detrimental access and use.
User configuration and management

A user at the super access level can create user accounts with the following
access levels:
limited (read-only)
admin (read/write)
superuser (read/write)
diag (read/write/diagnostic)
User names and passwords are case-sensitive and are limited to a length of
16 characters. When creating a user account, the password can be specified
as encrypted, so it cannot be easily viewed, or as clear text.
User and user access security

User and user access security is achieved through:
RADIUS
TACACS+
authentication

4-4 SAOS software
RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server
system used to secure networks against unauthorized remote access such as
with Telnet. When authenticating a Telnet user, the device sends
authentication requests to one or more RADIUS servers. The RADIUS server
keeps track of all user authentication and service access information. The
RADIUS server returns authentication results to the device and the user is
either allowed or denied access based on this information.
RADIUS configuration includes three lists of servers: one for user login, one
for 802.1x authentication and one for 802.1x accounting. RADIUS supports
load balancing for dot1x authentication and dot1x accounting to determine
what server will be selected for the first attempt to do authentication.
TACACS+
TACACS+ provides an industry-standard security protocol for controlling AAA
functions. It also provides security by using a shared key to encrypt
information between the NAS and the authentication server. 39XX/51XX
switches support both IPv4 and IPv6 TACACS+ servers.
Authentication
Three methods of user authentication are supported: local, RADIUS, and
TACACS+, and separate authentication methods can be set for the serial port
and remote access.
Secure communications and infrastructure

Secure communications and infrastructure is provided by means of:
SSH, which provides remote login and SFTP file transfers. Intended as a
more secure replacement of Telnet, SSH verifies and grants access to log
in requests by encrypting user ID and passwords. SSH/SFTP is supported
over IPv6.
SFTP/TFTP/FTP clients, which are used to download files from an SFTP/
TFTP/FTP server, for example, software images.
broadcast containment, which prevents services from being disrupted by
broadcast storms on specified ports as well as Denial of Service (DoS)
attack.
MAC tables: When a device receives a packet destined for an unknown
destination MAC address, it floods the packet to every connected link. As
it receives responses back, devices dynamically learn the association
between the source MAC address, port, VLAN, and virtual switch, and
then enter the information in the MAC table.
IP Access Control Lists (IP-ACL), which provide basic security for IP
Protocols that terminate within the device.

SAOS software 4-5
802.1x: The IEEE 802.1x-2001 standard defines an authentication

protocol that uses a centralized authentication server (typically a RADIUS
server) to provide port-based and user-based network access control.
Security Access Control (SAC), which allows static MAC addresses and
controls the number of dynamically-learned MAC addresses on a per-port
basis.
SNMP, which supports secure communications and infrastructure by
means of community mapping and the view-based access control model.
NTP Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication support, which allows the
NTP client to verify that the server is known and trusted.
Configuration
Service Delivery and Aggregation Switches to create and support Ethernet
delivery, aggregation, and distribution configurations.
Configuration management
A device can store multiple device configuration files. However, only one
configuration file can be active at a time. By default, configuration information
is saved to a file called startup-config.
The startup-config file is also the default load file. The parameters defined in
the startup-config file are applied when the device reboots (unless an
alternate file is specified). The current running configurations on a device are
not saved to a configuration file unless specifically saved. This includes
configuration changes made using the CLI or SNMP.
If a device is rebooted without saving the configuration, all changes are lost.
Port management
Physical ports provide connectivity to other devices, which is essential for any
switching device. To aggregate bandwidth and provide link redundancy
between two devices, physical ports are added to a Link Aggregation Group
(LAG). The port management commands provide the ability to configure ports
and troubleshoot connectivity.
Hardware resource management

The system assigns hardware resources (classifier, meter, and counter
resource types) for various software features. Depending upon the feature,
resources can be reassigned to provide additional resources for other
features.

4-6 SAOS software
This customized resource management is supported for the following

features:
Accelerated CFM over PBB-TE (5150)
Broadcast containment
CFM
DHCP relay
Traffic profiling
Virtual circuit statistics
Virtual switch Layer 2 enhanced transforms
Transport OAM
System timing configuration

System timing is the recovery and distribution of frequency, phase and time-
of-day information, in order to maintain synchronization between network
elements.
System timing is performed by means of:

Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE)
IEEE 1588 version 2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
external interfaces, which comprise:
Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS)
GPS frequency (10 MHz/ 2.048 MHz/1.544 MHz) and phase (1PPS)
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) line timing
Note 1: See External timing on page 20-1 for more information.
Note 2: For Release 6.12, time-of-day extracted from PTP is only
displayed. Full time-of-day functionality will be supported in a future
release.
Note 3: The 5150 Packet Timing is a 5150 with an upgraded Stratum 3E
OCXO. This device supports PTP timing.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol configuration

The system software supports Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) as
specified in the IEEE 802.1AB-2005 standard. Like Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (RSTP), LLDP is a link-constrained, layer 2 protocol. This means that
the exchange of LLDP messages only takes place between adjacent LLDP
agents (devices) on the network, unless control frame tunneling is used to
tunnel the LLDP PDUs through another device.

SAOS software 4-7
LLDP agents communicate basic management information with each other by

exchanging Link Layer Discovery Protocol Data Units (LLDPDUs). The
information about a device, and its immediate neighbors is then retrievable
through the standard LLDP MIBs using SNMP. It is important to note that
LLDP operates only on physical ports.
Virtual Local Area Network management

VLANs determine how traffic is forwarded within a device. The ingress and
egress behavior of each port must be taken into account.
The VLAN can be thought of as an imaginary wire that connects the ingress
port to the egress port or ports. VLANs must be created using the CLI, MIB,
or the Device Manager, prior to configuring other features on the device. A
VLAN is identified by two basic parameters:
VLAN ID, which is the value used to identify the VLAN
VLAN Name, which is defined by the network operator. VLAN names may
not begin with a number.
IP management
IP management comprises the following components:
IP Interfaces, which enables IP packet sending and receiving.
IP Loopback, which enables IP packets to ingress and egress over the
same interface.
Static IP routes, which defines static IP routes.
Forward Information Base (FIB), which stores static route and forwarding
information.
Static Address Resolution Protocol routes, which defines ARP static
routes.
Adjacency Information Base (AIB), which stores ARP static route and
adjacency information.
39XX/51XX switches support IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. You can configure an
IP interface with one IPv4 address and up to two IPv6 global or link local
addresses. IPv6 may have up to 16 extra Stateless Auto configured
addresses (SLAAC) when connected to Routers.
MEF Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks configuration

Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks comprise:
virtual switches, which are Layer 2 forwarding domains between a
customer bundle (multiple per-port per-VLAN entries) or per-port entries
and the network transport interfaces.

4-8 SAOS software
virtual circuits, which define a secure logical connection between one or

more customer endpoints.
provider VLAN, which is defined by the VLAN assigned to the virtual circuit
when it is created.
reserved VLAN, which is used internally to link a virtual switch with an
internal switching domain, and acts to connect both subscriber and
provider facing interfaces.
Q-in-Q encapsulation: Encapsulating an 802.1Q VLAN tagged frame
within another 802.1Q tag enables the service provider to encapsulate the
customer VLAN tagging information while using VLANs within the provider
network.
EVPL CoS, which comprises virtual switch CoS policies and virtual switch
member CoS policy override.
EVPL bundling, which allows multiple customer VLAN IDs (C-VIDs) to be
mapped to one or more virtual switches. EVPL bundling only functions
where traffic is being encapsulated.
VLAN translation for virtual switches, which is configurable VLAN
translation to classify Q-in-Q traffic from one L2 switching domain and
remap it to another.
private forwarding groups (PFG), which restrict forwarding of L2 traffic
between groups of ports within a shared VLAN or virtual switch. Port-
based PFGs alter the forwarding behavior of ports such that their
forwarding domain is restricted to a subset of ports on the switch.
External Network-to-Network (ENNI) hairpin, which transforms and
switches frames out of the same physical port they came in on. Hairpin
switching occurs when a message from an origin endpoint is returned in
the direction it came from in order to get to its destination endpoint. Sub-
port interfaces are required for ENNI hairpin switching.
Ethernet service types support Layer 2 (L2) Virtual Private Networks
(VPNs) defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) as
E-Line: point-to-point service among the same service provider
E-LAN: multiple point service
E-Tree: point-to-multipoint service
E-Access: point-to-point service among different service providers
Provider Backbone Bridge Traffic Engineering implementation

The implementation of Provider Backbone Bridge Traffic Engineering (PBB-
TE), formerly referred to as Provider Backbone Transport (PBT), in the core
of a Ciena network comprises VLAN tagging and Connectivity Fault
Management.

SAOS software 4-9
VLAN tagging
The IEEE 802.1Q standard specifies a mechanism for adding tags to Ethernet
frames. This tagging allows an Ethernet network to be divided into virtual
networks or VLANs. Generally, individual customers in a providers network
are identified by unique VLAN IDs. Additionally, each customer typically uses
VLAN IDs in their own network to differentiate between service types (for
example, data or VoIP) and possibly to distinguish between departments. This
three-tier hierarchy allows separate domains for the service provider,
customer and individual enterprise departments.
Connectivity Fault Management

PBB-TE virtual switches and tunnels are monitored through the use of IEEE
802.1ag Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) Continuity Check Messages
(CCM). When CFM services are configured for PBB-TE virtual switches, CCM
control frames are sent and received within the PBB-TE tunnels and monitor
faults based on the associated PBB-TE virtual circuit events. For CFM
services that monitor PBB-TE tunnels, CCM control frames are sent and
received regularly along the PBB-TE tunnels. If the primary tunnel should
experience a fault, the tunnel endpoints automatically begin using the backup
tunnel. The forwarding database entries are pre-configured along the backup
path to minimize the failover and restoration times. Only one backup tunnel
can be created.
Multiprotocol Label Switching configuration

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) supports circuit (voice), cell-switched
(business) and packet switching in a single packet switched network to save
capital and operational expenditures. MPLS speeds up traditional IP
forwarding with a simplified header and lookup process. MPLS can be used
to build seamless and consistent Layer 2 (L2) Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
between two or more remote sites traversing many different physical networks
with enhanced performance and topology discovery to ensure the most
efficient routes.
L2 Control Frame Tunneling configuration

With L2 control frame tunneling, the network operator can change the
handling of untagged L2 control frames to be processed and forwarded as if
they were data frames instead of being discarded or locally processed. Also,
the network provider can change the handling of transparent L2 control
frames to be transformed to L2PT frame format.

4-10 SAOS software
Quality of service configuration

Quality of service comprises:
Class of Services (CoS) policies and mapping. The system software
associates an internal resolved CoS (R-CoS) value and resolved Color (R-
COLOR) with every ingress frame that classifies to a port. The R-CoS and
R-COLOR values provide the baseline for CoS treatment of a frame as it
switches through the device.
Traffic profiling, which classifies traffic based on different classification
rules and meters the traffic flow to configured EIR/PIR and CIR values
defined in kbps.
Traffic profiling with hierarchical ingress metering: with hierarchical
ingress metering, frames classify to a parent traffic profile for metering,
and are fed to a child traffic profile for additional metering.
Congestion management processing, which determines whether a frame
should be enqueued or dropped. Congestion management is configured
per queue based on a congestion avoidance profile associated with each
CoS queue.
Egress scheduling, which determines the order in which the physical
queues are processed.
Egress shaping: A shaper-rate and burst size can be configured on the
egress port queue group that limits the amount of egress bandwidth (in
Kbps) a port uses(0 to 40 Gbps) and controls the amount of traffic (in
Kbytes) that can burst (0 to 256 Mbytes). The configured shaper-rate
normalizes to a rate in varying increments depending upon the sum of the
configured burst size.
Multicast services configuration
Multicast services deliver data frames to multiple destinations by means of
frame replications. Frame replications take place in a switch that is directly
connected to a multicast server or indirectly-connected to a multicast server
through a router or switch. In multicast services, frame replication can be to
selected members of the flood domain, decided either statically through
channel stream or dynamically using Internet Group Multicast Protocol
(IGMP) snooping. This allows network devices to discern multicast traffic and
act on it according to the local content rules and processes for the platform.
Multicast services in the network comprise the following components:

one or more multicast servers
one or more hosts
routers that replicate the multicast packets at L3 and send to multiple
interfaces

SAOS software 4-11
switches at L2 that forward multicast frames to multiple interfaces towards

the hosts, that is, the multicast termination points
Pseudowire emulation services configuration

Pseudowire Emulation (PWE) services convert standard Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM) streams into Ethernet packets using pseudowire
technology. PWE services are provided by the 3932 platform for transport of
legacy T1 and E1 and DS0/E0 services over the packet network.
PWE services work with SAOS software to provide the following TDM
services:
Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP)
Circuit Emulation Services over Packet Switched Networks (CESoP)
Fault management
Service Delivery and Aggregation Switches to create a fault-tolerant system.
Fault management by means of SNMP and RMON

SNMP governs the functions and management of network devices and
components called managed objects. SNMP provides the ability to administer
managed objects using a Network Management System (NMS) interface,
instead of the CLI. Examples of NMS interfaces are a Management
Information Base (MIB) browser or Ethernet Services Manager (ESM). The
NMS interface acts as an SNMP manager and sends messages to the device
in the form of an SNMP Protocol Description Unit (PDU). These messages are
processed by the SNMP agent on the device.
Remote monitoring (RMON) allows the network operator to enable devices to

gather information related to groups defined in RFC 1757 and RFC 2021. The
network operator uses a network monitoring device to probe the network to
retrieve this information by sampling SNMP MIB objects.
Link and port configuration for fault management

Link and port configuration for fault management comprises
port mirroring
port state mirroring
link flap detection
link aggregation

4-12 SAOS software
Port mirroring
Port mirroring is where another port is configured to mirror the traffic of a
specified port to monitor ingress and egress traffic. By attaching a protocol
analyzer to the port, you can monitor and analyze traffic. Port mirroring actions
can only be configured on physical ports.
Port state mirroring

Port state mirroring (sometimes referred to as link loss forwarding or link state
tracking) provides link redundancy by associating the link state of one or more
source (uplink) ports with one or more downstream (destination) ports on the
switch. If the link is lost on a source port, all of the other destination ports
associated with it are automatically placed in a disabled state as well. When
used in conjunction with RSTP, port state mirroring can be leveraged to force
the use of a secondary link.
Link flap detection

Link flap detection is available on physical ports. Detection consists of
monitoring the link state of the port for Up to Down transitions. If a number of
up or down transitions occur within a specified time frame, a link flap event is
generated. The port is marked as operationally down for either a period of time
or until manual intervention takes place.
Link aggregation
Link aggregation is defined in IEEE 802.3ad. This standard defines how two
or more full-duplex Ethernet ports of the same speed can be combined into a
single logical port to carry traffic between two devices connected in parallel.
This logical grouping of ports enables load sharing and load balancing among
these ports and thus an aggregation of bandwidth as well. Traffic destined to
egress on an aggregated port is distributed among all the links in the group.
Link aggregation also provides inherent, automatic redundancy for high-traffic

network connections. This is achieved by dynamically redirecting traffic from
a failed port to the remaining good ports in the aggregation group. Link
aggregation can be used to expand bandwidth and add link redundancy.
Link aggregation supports the following hashing mechanisms:

Known Unicast: layer 2, layer 3 and enhanced (3916, 3930, 3931, 3932,
3960, 5142, 5150, and 5160 platforms)
Unicast, multicast, broadcast (BUM): simplified and enhanced (3916,
3930, 3931, 3932, 3960, 5142, 5150, and 5160 platforms) flood hash
modes

SAOS software 4-13
Table 4-1 shows the number of LAGs supported for each platform, and
whether enhanced hashing is supported.

5160 12 8 Yes
A multi-chassis (MC) LAG is a LAG with ports that terminate on separate

chassis to provide node-level redundancy, along with the link-level
redundancy provided on the LAG.
Fault monitoring and analysis

Monitoring of chassis components can provide early warning indications of
possible failure to ensure safe and reliable system operation and avoid
network interruptions.
System resources are also monitored and available for display. System
resource items include CPU and memory usage, as well as aggregations,
meter profiles, PBB-TE entries, virtual switches, and MAC tables.

4-14 SAOS software
Connectivity Fault Management configuration

Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) provides a method to continuously
monitor the end-to-end network connectivity of a network service, such as a
Virtual Switch (VS) or a VLAN. Services can be monitored over a single hop,
a point-to-point link, or over multiple hops, using equipment managed by one
or more service providers and operations entities. Services are identified by a
collection of Service Access Points (SAPs) called a Service Instance. There
are two types of SAPs:
Maintenance End Points: Maintenance End Points (MEPs) are created at
the edge (entry/exit) points of the service being monitored.
Maintenance Intermediate Points: Maintenance Intermediate Points
(MIPs) are created between MEPs to track faults at intermediate points.
MEPs send periodic multicast messages called Continuity Check Messages

(CCMs) to each other through the VS or VLAN service to determine the status
of the service connection. These can be thought of as heartbeat messages.
Devices not configured for CFM forward CCMs as they would any other
multicast message. If an expected CCM is not received by a MEP on a
participating network device within the specified period, a fault alarm
regarding the service is issued in the form of an SNMP trap and system log
message.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol configuration

Network operators can implement the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) in a Ciena network.
Ethernet can support many different topologies, such as star, ring, or ladder
configurations. While this flexibility makes it ideal for a dynamic network, it can
create issues when more than one active path exists to an end station. This is
known as a loop. For example, in Figure 4-1, multiple paths can be taken
when forwarding a frame from device A to device Z.

SAOS software 4-15
Figure 4-1
Ethernet Topology Example
A
Star Ring
Ladder
Ethernet traffic forwarding uses Media Access Control (MAC) addresses to

forward traffic. When an Ethernet device receives traffic that has a destination
MAC address that is unknown to the device, these frames are broadcast to all
the devices that it is linked to. This allows the intended destination device to
receive the traffic and then reply to the source device. When the first device
receives the reply, it then creates a forwarding entry for the destination
address. The next time traffic is encountered with that destination address, the
device can forward it directly to the correct port without having to broadcast
the frame to all egress ports.
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol configuration

Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP - IEEE 802.1Q-2005) is a standards
based version of creating multiple spanning trees where each VLAN has its
own Multiple Spanning Tree Instance (MSTI). Each instance has an
independent spanning tree topology to provide multiple forwarding paths for
data traffic, enable load balancing and reduce the number of spanning tree
instances required to support a large number of VLANs. MSTP can be
implemented in place of Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).

4-16 SAOS software
Like RSTP, defined in IEEE 802.1D, MSTP provides a loop-free topology in

bridged networks and delivers efficient reconfiguration (convergence) of the
loop-free topology in the event that a link fails. MSTP inherits its rapid
transition mechanism from RSTP, defined in IEEE 802.1W, to achieve fast
convergence times.
Ethernet Ring Protection Switching configuration

Ethernet Ring Protection Switching comprises logical rings and virtual rings.
Table 4-2 lists the number of ports, logical rings, and virtual rings by platform.

Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance configuration

EOAM remote loopback is the ability to test link quality/performance and
isolate link faults by sending frames from one DTE and looping them back at
the other DTE. As such, loopback is an intrusive procedure and all normal port
operations such as forwarding and learning are disrupted. Any services
supported by the ports involved also cease to function. You can configure a
port to ignore loopback requests.
The port will go into remote loopback mode when:

EOAM is enabled globally.
EOAM is enabled on the port.

SAOS software 4-17
Loopback mode is initiated by the remote bridge.
EOAM loopback can only be initiated by DTEs that are configured for OAM
Active mode. Active mode DTEs can be switched to loopback mode. In rare
cases when two Active mode DTEs simultaneously issue loopback
commands for the other DTE, one of the DTEs drops its request and accepts
the remote DTEs command.
802.3ah OAM monitors a link for critical events and then puts the remote
device into loopback mode to test on the link. OAM functions can be
implemented once two directly connected DTEs become aware of each
others OAM capabilities. This is made possible through an OAM discovery
process.
Discovery is the process by which the OAM capabilities of peer OAM-enabled

entities are discovered. Information OAM Protocols Data Units (OAMPDUs)
are used to exchange OAM capability information. In addition, the flags field
in the OAMPDU header is used to indicate the current state of OAM discovery.
Once discovery is successful, other OAM messages/commands can be
exchanged between peer OAM entities. The discovery process re-starts
automatically if an OAM entity does not receive an Information OAMPDU from
the peer OAM entity within 5 seconds.
Event logging configuration

Event logging comprises:
Syslog
flash log filters
flash log packet filters
RAM log filters
RAM log packet filters
command logging
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a protocol that provides low-
overhead, fast detection of link or node failure between any two nodes running
over any medium.
BFD control packets are transmitted in UDP packets with well-known
destination port 3784 within an IPv4 packet.
As an intermediate node of an Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Label Switch Path (LSP), the 3916, 3930, 3931, 3960, and 5150 platforms
run BFD over an IPv4 network to the next hop neighbor (RFC 5880).

4-18 SAOS software
As the end node of a MPLS LSP or Label Edge Router (LER), the 3916,
3930, 3931, 3960, and 5150 platforms use BFD to support MPLS LSPs.
BFD packet content is encapsulated in a MPLS label stack and sent along
the same data path as the LSP through multiple hops to its eventual
destination (RFC 6428).
A very fast Continuity Check (CC) detects a loss of connectivity between

two end nodes with detection times in the few tens of milliseconds.
Connectivity Verification (CV) verifies that a 3916, 3930, 3931, 3960, or
5150 source node is connected to the desired end node.
CC and CV failures are reported so appropriate action can be taken (for
example, switching to a backup path).
MPLS-BFD implements a single-session BFD over an associated
bidirectional LSP, constructed from a pair of unidirectional LSPs, one in each
direction. The two LSPs operate virtually as one single entity for the purpose
of protection and switching.
A BFD session begins with the periodic, slow transmission (one second
intervals) of control packets between nodes. In the initial message exchanges,
the nodes exchange state information and their respective discriminator fields
(which identifies the session) and negotiate the desired transmit and receive
intervals. Subsequent control packets sent from each side must reflect the
discriminator values back to the originating node in the Your Discriminator
field.
Once two-way communication is achieved and the session is in the Up state,

periodic BFD control packets are transmitted at the transmit interval
negotiated in the initial packet exchange, and each packet either updates or
reiterates the session state information to the other node.
Virtual Link Loss Indicator

VLLI allows network elements at the UNI-N of an EVC to signal to the UNI-C
of the customer premise equipment (CPE) if:
The remote UNI attachment interface has failed or recovered.
The EVC connection has failed or recovered causing end-to-end client
traffic to be transported.
An instance represents an application service, for example, CFM service. It

can be either source or destination. The Instance can trigger the action of
other Instances in the same instance group. Each Instance links to an action
group.
VLLI configuration requires configuring:

instance groups

SAOS software 4-19
action groups
An instance group represents a VLLI operation group. It contains multiple

instances. Since each instance is bound to an action group, source actions
can be triggered based on the event type if bidirectional is configured.
An action group is a group of actions.
VLLI support unidirectional and bidirectional operation on the same instance

group.
Fault management troubleshooting

Fault management troubleshooting comprises sending log test messages and
resetting log file configuration to defaults.
Performance management
Service Delivery and Aggregation Switches to monitor and improve
performance.
TWAMP
TWAMP provides a way for network administrators to quickly measure latency
and jitter between two devices with real-time processing. A TWAMP session
must run between two different nodes. As each TWAMP session is initiated,
a check is performed to ensure that this session is not aimed at an IP address
or MAC address that belongs to the initiating node. This includes the IP
address configured for the local interface, remote interface and any other
configured IP interfaces. TWAMP can be run over IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Note: TWAMP IPv4 configurations remain intact over a software upgrade

or downgrade. TWAMP IPv6 configurations are removed during a
downgrade.
As defined in RFC4656, One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP)

measures uni-directional IP performance between two devices. Based upon
OWAMP, TWAMP provides bi-directional measurements of IP performance
between two devices through an exchange of test messages. The system
software supports the following TWAMP modes:
TWAMP Light Responder
TWAMP Complete Server
TWAMP Client

4-20 SAOS software
CPU rate limiting

Network protocol control frames require examination and processing from the
Central Processing Unit (CPU). When the CPU must process a large volume
of control frames per second, all CPU resources are consumed. This overload
causes the CLI and SNMP to become unresponsive.
To prevent this issue, you can control the number of protocol control frames
to be processed with CPU rate limiting.
Performance benchmarking
39XX/51XX switches can evaluate the performance of network devices by
means of testing that conforms to the following standards:
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 2544 Benchmarking
Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices
International Telecommunications Union Standardization (ITU-T) Y.1564
Ethernet Service Activation Test Methodology
Table 4-3 lists the benchmarking tests supported by 39XX/51XX switches.

Additionally, 39XX/51XX switches support in-service tests.
Operational roles
Devices running benchmark tests operate in the following operational roles.
Generator
Generates RFC 2544 test packets. The Generator IP address is the source IP
address in the packet and the Analyzer IP address is the destination IP
address.

SAOS software 4-21
Note: The 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932, 5142, and 5160 platforms support the
generator role.
The 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932, 5142 and 5160 platforms can generate IPv6 test
packets. If the test packets layer 3 fields (source and destination IP
addresses) and layer 4 fields (source and destination UDP or TCP ports) need
to be swapped, then the target reflector must also be from the same group of
platforms, or a third-party device that supports the version of IP test packets
being transmitted. If the test traffic is only going through a layer 2 network,
then the reflector node can also be a 3960 or a 5150 device.
UNI reflector
The UNI reflector mechanism supports the functionality to run a complete test
session from a single node in the network by receiving the test packet,
swapping various fields within the packet, and sending the packet back to the
generator using the original source address found in the packet. Ciena
devices in the UNI reflector role inter operate with other vendor RFC 2544 test
implementations and equipment. The following fields (if they exist) are
swapped in the RFC2544 test packet during reflection:
Ethernet Source and Destination MAC Addresses

IP Source and Destination Addresses
UDP Source and Destination Port Numbers.
Note: The 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932, 3960, 5142, 5150, and 5160
platforms support the UNI reflector role.
The 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932 and 5142 platforms support full reflection of IPv6
packets. The 3960 and 5150 platforms reflect IPv6 packets by swapping Layer
2 fields. The 5160 platform does not support the reflection of IPv6 traffic.
The 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932 and 5142 platforms can be used to generate
traffic while the 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932, 3960, 5142 or 5150 platforms can be
used to reflect IPv6 traffic going through a Layer 2 network. For Layer 3 IPv6
traffic, the reflector node must be a 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932 or 5142 platform.
The 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932, 5142 and 5160 platforms support Layer 2, Layer
3 and Layer 4 relevant fields. The 3960 and 5150 platforms only swap Layer
2 fields. The 3916, 3930, 3931 and 3932 platforms recognize IPv6 frames and
will swap appropriate fields at Layer 2 and Layer 4.
Static Reflector
The static reflector mechanism supports minimal packet reflection to support
end-to-end test session from a single node in the network by receiving the test
packet, modifying it to swap the source and destination MAC addresses,

4-22 SAOS software
reflecting it back to the network using Layer 3 static IP routing. Ciena devices
in the static reflector role inter operate with other vendor RFC 2544 test
implementations and equipment.
Note: Layer 3 static reflector does not support IPv6.
The 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932, 5142, and 5160 platforms can operate as
generators to run tests between 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932, 3960, 5142, 5150,
and 5160 platforms operating as UNI reflectors.
Also, 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932, 5142, and 5160 platforms can operate as
generators to test 3916, 3930, 3931, 3932, 3940, 3960, 5140, 5142, 5150, or
5160 platforms operating as static reflectors.
In addition, Ciena devices interoperate with other vendor RFC 2544 and
Y.1564 test implementations and equipment.
Performance monitoring
Performance monitoring is an in-service, non-intrusive method of statistical
data collection used for fault detection and troubleshooting. These statistics
are based on time intervals and data counts to determine transmission quality.
Performance monitoring monitors TDM statistics on the 3932 system. Up to

200 performance monitoring Instances can be created for each system.

Cienas 3911 is an Ethernet access system that cost-effectively delivers

business, transport, and wireless backhaul Ethernet services via fiber or
copper connections. The 3911 features an environmentally sealed and
physically secure enclosure suitable for deployment outdoors or in
unconditioned indoor environments, enabling support for a wide variety of
service application scenarios and network topologies.
The 3911 is based on Ciena Corporations field-proven Carrier Ethernet

technology and is deployed by dozens of network operators in tens-of-
thousands of homes and businesses.
The 3911 is designed to work in concert with other Ciena Corporation

products and operate in an extended temperature range.
The 3911 can be installed with an optional UNI Access Module (UAM). The
UAM provides lightning and power-cross protection and can extend the range
of sites where a 3911 can be installed.
Both the UAM and 3911 provide Customer access to the UNI ports. When the
front panel of the 3911 is opened, the Customer will be able to see both the
UNI ports and the Craft access port. When the Customer access panel of the
UAM is opened, the Customer will be provided with access to the UNI ports
only. Thus, the UAM provides additional security to the service provider by

3911 and UAM

The UAM allows you to harden the system, providing power and lightning
surge protection as well as housing the hardened power supply. The UAM
also allows you to control access. Customers only have access to the user
ports and the rest of the system is secured. A UAM is required for outdoor
installations, though they may also be used indoors. Two types of UAM are
available, Universal (AC/DC) and IEC (AC only). Select the type of UAM that
matches the power source available at your site.
For installations of a 3911 and UAM you need to order the following
components:

UPS (optional)
Power source two indoor AC power supplies are available
Mounting hardware, as required. Indoor installations will use a wall mount
and the supplied mounting brackets. The customer will be required to
supply additional bolts/screws to securely mount the units to the wall.

3911 Enclosure and System

The 3911 is housed in an environmentally hardened enclosure suitable for
exterior mounting. These attributes provide an important savings in cost by
facilitating service provider access and eliminating the requirement for a
protected or conditioned operating environment.
Figure 6-1 shows the front and rear view of the chassis. Figure 6-2 shows a
3/4 view of the chassis and provides a better view of the conduit openings
available on the enclosure. The dimensions of the system are provided in
Chassis Size and Weight on page 6-10.

Interior of the 3911
Rubber Grommets
Rubber grommets are provided in the 3911 kit. These grommets can be
installed in the openings of the 3911 chassis. Figure 6-4 shows a grommet.
Figure 6-4
Rubber Grommet

The grommets are installed by pinching them slightly and pressing them into
the available holes. When installed, they should fit securely.
For indoor applications, you can cut an opening in the grommet to allow wires
and cables to pass into the chassis. It is easiest to cut the opening in the
grommet before it is installed in the 3911 chassis.
For outdoor applications, weather tight conduit needs to be fitted to the

chassis to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure.
UAM
The UNI Access Module (UAM) is an optional component that can be installed
directly below the 3911. The UAM can be used to extend the range of sites
where a 3911 can be installed. The UAM provides:
AC or DC power for the 3911
outdoor power and lightning/surge protection
2 or 4 lightning/surge protected copper ports or 1 optical UNI port
door-on-door customer access to user ports
service provider access to power and user ports

Hardened Power Supplies

Outdoor applications require the use of a hardened power supply. The power
supply must also be installed in the UAM. Ciena offers two hardened power
supplies. See Table 6-7 for details.
Indoor Power Supplies

Indoor installations do not require the use of a hardened power supply and
can use one of the indoor brick style AC power supplies. A UAM is not
required for the power supply. Ciena offers two indoor use power supplies.
See Table 6-7 for details.

Optional UPS
The UPS is an optional component that can be installed in the upper right
portion of the 3911 chassis. As a result, UPS units can be used in 3911
systems installed as standalone units and 3911 systems installed with a UAM.
The UPS is compatible with installations using an Optical UNI Module or a

Line Protection Module.
Since the UPS is optional, it may not have been installed when the 3911
system was installed. It is possible to install a UPS at a later date to enhance
the power reliability of the system.
Ciena has offered two different designs of battery tray as follows:

One piece battery tray The original battery tray was a single piece.
When this tray is used the entire battery tray is removed to replace the
battery. This procedure also requires unplugging the cabling leading to the
UPS module, as well as additional cabling such as the Optical UNI cable
(if present). See Figure 6-7.
Battery tray with removable plate This revised battery tray has a
removable plate on the front of the battery tray. When this tray is used,
only the front plate is removed to replace the battery. The cabling to the
UPS module and optical UNI (if present) are not disturbed. See Figure
6-7.

Interfaces
This section will provide an overview of the functionality of each type of port
available on the 3911 including:
100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Ports
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Ports
Console Port
Only Ciena approved SFP transceivers can be used. Both Dual Fiber and
Single Fiber optics are available. In addition, there are some extended
temperature range optics. Extended temperature range optics are rated for
the temperature range -40 C to + 85 C (-40 F to 185 F). The list of supported
SFPs is documented in Packet Networking Transceivers Reference (009-
2011-602).


The NNI ports are used to connect to the service providers network and
support 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps operating speeds. These ports can be either
an SFP or an RJ-45 port. The NNI ports are numbered as follows:
port 9 left optical or RJ-45 port
port 10 right optical or RJ-45 port
Note: For copper connections to the RJ-45 NNI port, the use of Cat5 STP
(shielded) cables is required. When a copper SFP is installed in these
ports the only supported speed is 1000 Mbps.
By default the system is configured to use the SFP connection, but this
configuration can be changed through the CLI.
The optical NNI ports can also be used as UNI ports. When an Optical UNI
Module is installed, one of optical ports 9 or 10 is used to connect the UNI port
from the Optical UNI Module. You will need to configure the optical port as a
UNI port using the CLI. In this configuration, the NNI port can be either the
remaining optical NNI port, or an RJ-45 NNI port. However, if an optical port
is being used as a UNI port, the RJ-45 port with the same port number cannot
be used as an NNI port. For example, if the Optical UNI Module is connected
to optical port 9, the NNI port can be either optical port 10 or RJ-45 port 10.
When you are using the optical ports, you will need to order SFPs to support
your configuration. Make sure you order the correct SFP (multi mode or single
mode) to match the equipment terminating the optical link.

The UNI ports are used to connect to the customers network and support 10,
100, 1000 Mbps operating speeds. The UNI ports are RJ-45 ports and they
are numbered ports 1 to 8 in the system.
It is also possible to use one of the optical NNI ports (ports 9 and 10) as an
optical UNI port. For more information, see 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Ports
on page 6-20.
Console Port
The 3911 also includes an external serial console port for EIA-232
communication on the front of the device labeled EIA-232 Console. The
console port can be used to attach a terminal or a PC to the device for out-of-
band management.

Mounting brackets
The following mounting brackets are available:
19-inch frame (this bracket is part of the 3916 kit)
23-inch frame (this bracket is separately orderable)
The brackets are attached to the chassis using two screw holes per bracket.
The frame mount brackets are also compatible with cable support brackets
that are designed to keep cables out of adjacent equipment space. See 3916
Hardware Installation and Start-up Manual (009-3226-001) for more
information.
Wall mount installations

For wall mount applications, the 19-inch frame mount bracket can be used to
mount the 3916 to the wall. The required wall mount orientation is to position
the 3916 so that the fans on the right side of the chassis are located at the
bottom of the unit. The front of the chassis can face right or left as required,
depending on whether the top or bottom of the chassis is facing the wall.
Hardware required to attach the mounting bracket to the wall is Customer

supplied. The reinforced mounting surface should be capable of supporting
approximately 6 pounds. Ensure that the hardware used includes the proper
fasteners/anchors required to support the weight of the unit.
Desktop installations
The 3916 can be placed on a desktop surface. The 3916 includes 4 rubber
feet for desktop use. These feet are self-adhesive and can easily be applied
to the corners on bottom of the chassis. The installation surface must be a
non-combustible surface.

Power Options
There are AC and DC powered variants of the 3916. Table 7-5 provides a
summary of the variants and their power requirements.
Table 7-5
3916 Power Supply Overview
Model Power System Power Range Breaker
3916 AC Standard and Single AC 100 to 240 VAC, 3 Amp

3916 AC Mini 50/60 Hz, 2 Amps
3916 Dual AC Standard and Dual AC 100 to 240 VAC, 3 Amp

3916 Dual AC Mini 50/60 Hz, 2 Amps
3916 DC Standard Single DC +/- 24/36/48 VDC, 5 Amps (24V or 36V) or

2.0 Amps 2.5 Amps (48V)
Note: The breaker information provided in this table specifies the minimum current ratings. The
breakers and wiring must be installed only by qualified service personnel in accordance with all local
and national electrical codes. The wiring at your site needs to support the breaker rating you choose
and meet the relevant electrical codes.
Note: The minimum 48VDC breaker value assumes that the back-up batteries at your facility are
configured to disconnect at a predefined level if the charging circuit is not restored. If your facility does
not have an automatic battery shutdown level of >20VDC, the recommended breaker value for 48VDC
will result in the breaker being tripped if power is not restored before the batteries exhaust. For
installations without automatic battery disconnect use the minimum recommended 24VDC breaker size.
DC Power
The 3916 is offered in only one chassis size with DC power, the 3916 DC
Standard (170-3916-901). This system includes a single integrated DC power
supply. The DC power supply operates at +/- 24 or +/- 48 VDC, drawing a
maximum of 2 Amps. The connections to the DC mains and ground are made
using a terminal block available on the faceplate of the power supply.
The DC power cord should be 14 AWG - 18 AWG wire. You will also need to
install fork terminal spade lugs on the power cord wires to ensure a proper
connection with the terminal block of the power supply. Table 7-6 on page 7-8
contains a summary of the recommended locking fork terminal lugs.
Table 7-5 on page 7-7 summarizes the minimum fuse values for both 24 V and
48 V input installations.

Note: Use one of these recommended lugs or a close equivalent. If a ring lug is used, you will need to
remove and reinstall the screw. Take care not to lose the screw during this process.
AC Power
Four 3916 systems with AC power exist as summarized in Table 7-5 on page
7-7. The main differences between systems involve chassis size (standard or
mini) and number of power connections (single or dual). The power
installation procedure for these systems is similar since they all use standard
AC power cords.
All systems have an AC power supply that is a wide-range supply and
supports input voltages between 100 and 240 Volts AC nominal. The breaker
on the power input should be installed as per the National Electrical Code
guidelines, and a 15 Amp breaker maximum.
Note: The use of an external Surge Protective Device (SPD) is required

to meet GR-1089 Type 7 port requirements.
The AC power cord connects to the faceplate of the module using a standard
plug. The faceplate is equipped with a bail lock mechanism to assist with
power cord retention. The bail lock is designed to work with the Ciena power
cords. The bail lock snaps down over the hood of the power cord and prevents
it from becoming accidentally unplugged when the power cord is pulled. To
remove the power cord from the AC power supply you need to remove the bail
lock before tugging on the power cable.

Power Redundancy
When the 3916 Dual AC system is installed the power unit is redundant. Both
power supplies provide system power simultaneously. Each input power cable
should be connected to an independent power feed in order to provide
redundant power to the system. If one power feed fails, the remaining power
supply will compensate to maintain uninterrupted system operation.
Note: If you have a 3916 single AC or DC system, there is no power

redundancy.
Power Status LEDs

The 3916 Dual AC system has 2 power status LEDs, one for PS A (left power
outlet) and the other for PS B (right power outlet). The power status LEDs are
located to the right of the power outlets and labeled PS A and PS B. The 3916
Hardware Installation and Start-up Manual (009-3226-001) provides a more
detailed description of the LED indications.
AC Power Cord
The 3916 single AC device uses one power cord, and the 3916 Dual AC
devices require two power cords. The exact specifications of the cord required
will vary depending on the local power codes. For example, the configuration
of the plug that is attached to the power source will vary for each region
around the world. You need to obtain the correct power cord to meet your local
requirements.
WARNING
All AC power cords must meet the requirements of the local
and national electric codes prior to installation.
Ciena offers the following AC power cables for the 3916:

AC Power Cord, IEC C13, Europe
AC Power Cord, IEC C13, North America
AC Power Cord, IEC C13, United Kingdom
AC Power Cord, C13, Universal
Dying Gasp
The 3916 supports dying gasp functionality. In the event of a power failure, the
3916 sends a dying gasp notification to the network. The notification also
contains a syslog entry (if syslog is enabled).

The 3916 is designed for deployment in indoor locations and partially
controlled environments and supports the following environmental range:
Operating Temperature Range: 0 C to 50 C (32 F to 122 F)
Storage Temperature Range: -40 C to 70 C (-40 F to 158 F)
Operating Humidity Range: 5% to 90% humidity, non-condensing
Extreme Temperature Conditions

The 3916 has internal temperature sensors that monitor the temperature
within the unit. The software supports alarms, traps and logs at user
configurable temperature thresholds.
Fans and Airflow

The 3916 chassis is equipped with two fans to provide cooling redundancy.
In the standard chassis systems, the fans draw air from the right side of the
unit and exhaust out the left side of the unit. The fan speed increases when
temperatures exceed a preset threshold. When installed, you must ensure
that the air vents on the sides of the unit are not blocked.
In the mini chassis systems, the fans draw air from the front faceplate of the
unit and exhaust air to the rear of the chassis.
When installed, you must ensure that the air vents on the sides of the unit
(standard chassis) or front/rear of the unit (mini chassis) are not blocked.
Fan Failure
If a fan failure occurs, an alarm is raised and an SNMP trap is sent. When a
fan fails in the 3916, fan redundancy ensures that operation is maintained until
the unit can be replaced. Replacing the fans is a service impacting repair
since the unit must be taken completely offline and returned to Ciena for
repair.

Grounding
The 3916 is connected to ground at the power supply and the chassis.
Note: The Battery Return lead is considered DC-I (isolated from frame
ground) as described in GR-1089-Core, Issue 6.
Power Supply Grounding

The safety ground connection is provided by the AC power cord or by the
ground terminal on the DC power input connector.
WARNING
The AC version relies on the AC power cord for Safety Ground.
The outlet providing power to the 3916 must meet the Local
and National Safety codes.
WARNING
The DC version relies on the connector at the front of the
power supply to provide Safety Ground. This grounding
connection must be properly attached when the 3916 is
installed.
Supplemental Ground
On standard chassis systems a supplemental ground connection is provided
for connection to a Common Bonding Network (CBN). The supplemental
ground connection is required on 3916 DC Standard installations. The
supplemental ground connection is optional on 3916 AC Standard and 3916
Dual AC Standard installations. Mini chassis systems do not require a
supplemental ground connection.
The grounding screws are located on the left side of the standard chassis. See
Figure 7-4. The ground location will support a 2-hole lug.

More detailed LED information is provided in 3916 Hardware Installation and

Start-up Manual (009-3226-001).
The 3916 has six 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports. Ports 1 and 2 are combo
ports, with both an RJ-45 jack and an SFP option available for that port. The
RJ-45/SFP plugs for Ports 1 and 2 are located side-by-side on the left side of
the chassis. The remaining four ports are SFP only and are organized in a
single row on the front left/center of the chassis with Port 3 on the left and Port
6 on the right/center.
The RJ-45 copper ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps operation with auto-
negotiation of speed and duplex as well as auto-MDI/MDIX. These RJ-45
ports are GR-1089 Type 4 ports and are intended for indoor use only. These
ports are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard. When
connecting to the RJ-45 copper ports Cat 5e shielded cables are
recommended.
Shielded cables are required to meet Class B emissions. Shield Ethernet

cables are required to meet GR-1089 Radiated Immunity, ESD and EN 55024
ESD requirements. Ciena recommends the use of Cat 5e shielded cables.
The shielded cables must be grounded at both ends.
SFP ports 3 and 4 support 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps speeds. The port
characteristics are set by the capabilities of the SFPs that are installed. SFP
ports 5 and 6 support 1000 Mbps speed only. The SFPs ports conform to the
IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet standard.
By default, the SFP ports are active for Ports 1 and 2. You can configure the
system to use the RJ-45 ports for Ports 1 and 2 in the software after the
system becomes active.
Both the RJ-45 and SFP ports also include integrated status LEDs. See 3916

Fans
The 3920 houses two fans to provide a cooling air flow across the internal
components. Only one fan is required for normal operation, however, if a fan
fails, an alarm/SNMP trap is generated so that the unit can be replaced in the
next maintenance window.
To ensure that the fan assembly can provide adequate cooling, always
provide a minimum of 3 inches (8 cm) of clearance on the front and back of
the chassis.
Fan Failure
When a fan fails, the 3920 should be replaced. This is a service impacting
repair since the unit must be taken completely offline and returned to Ciena
for repair. Fans are not customer serviceable. The unit should not be operated
for more than 15 minutes without a functional fan. This is for a system that is
at the maximum operating temperature (ambient +65C).

Grounding
The ground connection is different for AC and DC 3920 systems.
For 3920 AC systems, a safety ground connection is provided by the AC

power cord. The system does not have a separate supplemental ground
connection.
WARNING
The 3920 relies on the AC power cord for Safety ground. The
outlet providing power to the 3920 must meet the Local and
National Safety codes.
For 3920 DC systems, there is a frame ground connection on the front

chassis, just below the DC power connections. See Figure 8-2 on page 8-5.

All uplink ports can be active at a single time. One 10/100 Mbps port is
included for local management.
CAUTION
Subscriber ports on the 3920 are intended for interconnection
within the providers network only. However, connection to
multiple providers networks (or the PSTN) can be achieved
using other solutions that are available within the Ciena
Corporation family of products.

The 3920 provides four 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X Ethernet ports. These
ports can be used as NNI or UNI connections. These ports use small form
factor, pluggable (SFP) optics, operate only in full duplex mode, and conform
to the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards. The document Packet Networking
Transceivers Reference (009-2011-602) lists the SFPs supported for this
product. The SFPs are hot-swappable, allowing compliant optics to be
plugged in to change the external interface of the port, thus providing a mix of
possible distances and media types.
Note: When a copper SFP is installed in ports 9-12 the only supported
speed is 1000 Mbps.

The 3920 includes eight 10/100/1000BASE-TX, autonegotiating, auto MDIX
ports for connecting subscriber devices and other downstream equipment.
These UNI ports use RJ-45 connectors and are fully compliant with the IEEE
802.3 Ethernet standards.

One 10/100/1000BASE-T, autonegotiating, auto MDIX port (labeled as
MGMT) is provided for out-of-band management. This port uses an RJ-45
connector and is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards. The
management port can be used to attach a PC directly to the device or it can
be connected to the network for management. This port also includes
integrated status LEDs.

the following dimensions:
Width: 44.4 cm (17.5 inches)
Depth: 25.4 cm (10 inches)
Height: 4.4 cm (1.75 inches)
located on the faceplate of the chassis. The grounding cable is installed on the
rear of the chassis. For more information see Grounding on page 9-10.
Additional Clearances
To provide sufficient clearance for cabling and airflow, Ciena recommends the
following clearances:
Note: The 3930 also draws air through intake vents on the right side of
the chassis. When the unit is installed you should ensure that this area is
not obstructed by cables running along the side of the frame.
System Weight
Before you start, ensure that the frame or mounting surface (wallmount
installations) is capable of supporting the weight of the system. Table 9-3
provides a list of the components that can be used in a system and their
weight.

The wallmount bracket allows the chassis to be mounted on a wall. The

wallmount bracket does not contain any cable management features. See
3930 Hardware Installation and Start-up Manual (009-3223-001) for more
information.
Note: For installations using the wallmount bracket, the hardware

required to attach the mounting bracket to the wall is Customer supplied.
In addition, the reinforced mounting surface should be capable of
supporting approximately 100 pounds. Ensure that the hardware used
includes the proper fasteners/anchors required to support the weight of
the unit.
Power Options
The 3930 has redundant power supplies which are accessed from the front of
the chassis. Both AC and DC power supplies are available. The system is also
capable of operation with a single power supply, however redundant power
supplies are recommended. When a single power supply is used, the empty
power supply bay must be covered with a filler plate. A filler plate is provided
with the base system.
Because the power unit is redundant, the power supplies are hot swappable
and field replaceable. With both power supplies installed, the power supplies
provide system power simultaneously (load sharing). During power supply
replacement, the remaining power supply will compensate to maintain
uninterrupted system operation. If one of the power supply units fails, it should
be replaced as soon as possible.
Note: The 3930, 3932 and 5142 all use the same power supplies.
Table 9-4 on page 9-6 provides a summary of the available power options.

breakers and wiring must be installed only by qualified service personnel in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes. The wiring at your site needs to support the breaker rating you choose and
meet the relevant electrical codes.
DC Power Supply
The DC power supply module is a wide range DC power module and accepts
a range of input voltages (see Table 9-4) including -/+48 V DC, -/+36 V DC or
-/+24 V DC.
The connections to the DC mains and ground are made using a terminal block
available on the faceplate of each power supply.
The DC power cord should be a 14 AWG - 18 AWG wire. You will also need
to install fork terminal spade lugs on the power cord wires to ensure a proper
connection with the terminal block of the power supply. Table 9-5 on page 9-7
contains a summary of the recommended locking fork terminal lugs.

Table 9-5
3930 DC Lug Summary
Wire Size Stud Maximum Lug Width Recommended Lug
Table 9-4 on page 9-6 summarizes the minimum breaker values for 24 V, 36 V
and 48 V input installations.
In order to successfully replace the power supply while the unit is operating,
the DC power supplies must be powered off separate breakers. This allows
you to turn off power feeding the power supply that is being replaced. While
the second independent circuit remains on, and powers the unit during the
replacement process. As a result, Ciena recommends that each DC power
supply be connected to a separate breaker.
AC Power Supply
The AC power supply module is a wide range AC power module and accepts
input voltages of 100 V to 240 V AC nominal. The AC power cord connects to
the faceplate of the module using a standard plug.
WARNING
As per GR-1089 Section 4.12 an external Surge Protective

Device (SPD) is required at the AC input of the 3930.
The faceplate is equipped with a bail lock mechanism to assist with power
cord retention. The bail lock snaps over the hood of the power cord and
prevents it from becoming accidentally unplugged when the power cord is
pulled. To remove the power cord from the AC power supply you need to
remove the bail lock before tugging on the power cable.
For each 3930 device with redundant power supplies you will need two power
cords. The exact specifications of the cord required will vary depending on:
AC or DC power supply

local power codes for example, the configuration of the plug that is
attached to the power source will vary for each region around the world.
You need to obtain the correct power cord to meet your local
requirements.
WARNING


Power Status LEDs

The status of the power supplies is visible on the faceplate of the 3930 through
the INPUT and OUTPUT LEDs on each power supply. See the 3930
Hardware Installation and Start-up Manual (009-3223-001) for a detailed
description of the LED indications.
Power Supply Failure

If a problem occurs with the power supply, an alarm is raised and an SNMP
trap is sent. If the power supply has been disabled, an LED indication will also
occur showing the defective power supply is off.
After a problem has been identified, the power supply should be replaced. See
3930 Hardware Installation and Start-up Manual (009-3223-001) for the
procedures to remove a power supply and install a new unit.
Dying Gasp
Note: When the system is powered by redundant power supplies, a dying

gasp message will only be sent if both power supplies lose power.

The 3930 is designed for deployment in Outdoor Street Cabinets, huts and
other unconditioned locations and supports the following environmental
range:
-40C to +65C (-40F to 149F) operating ambient temperature up to an
altitude of 4000 m
-40C to +70C storage temperature
5% to 95% non-condensing humidity

When temperatures exceed the maximum operating temperature, an

automatic over temperature shutdown is initiated to protect the 3930 from
damage. The thermal switch continues to monitor the temperature, and when
the temperature returns to the supported operating temperature range, the
unit will automatically restart and resume service.
Fans and Airflow

The 3930 chassis is equipped with three fans to provide adequate airflow. The
fans draw air from the front and right side of the unit, and exhaust out the rear.
The 7.6 cm (3 inch) installation clearance at the front and 6.4 cm (2.5 inch)
clearance at the back of the unit assists with air flow by ensuring that the vents
of the unit are not blocked. You should also ensure that the air vents on the
right side of the chassis are not obstructed by cables running along the side
of the frame.
When only one power supply is installed in the 3930, the second power supply
bay must be covered with a filler plate. The filler plate is necessary to ensure
proper airflow within the 3930. The unit is initially supplied with a filler plate. If
it is misplaced, a replacement can be ordered from Ciena.
Fan Failure
single fan fails in the 3930 the platform continues to function normally and
meet all specifications. However, the unit should be scheduled for servicing by
Ciena. Replacing the fans is a service impacting repair since the unit must be
taken completely offline and returned to Ciena for repair. If a unit is returned
for a fan failure, all three fans in the system are replaced by Ciena.

See Default configuration overview on page 18-1 for more information
about the factory default settings.
Note 1: The 3930 Sync + External Timing systems have additional

behavior that occurs when the reset button is pushed and the system is
unresponsive. If you are using a 3930 Sync + External Timing unit you
should also read the section Creating a State Dump or Core Dump Log

Note 2: Pressing the reset button will also result in an LED indication. The
LED behavior is described in 3930 Hardware Installation and Start-up
Manual (009-3223-001).

Creating a State Dump or Core Dump Log File

Note: The functionality described in this section is only available on 3930
Sync + External Timing systems. This feature is not supported on 3930
Standard and 3930 Sync systems.
Two types of log files are available:

State dump log The state dump provides a summary of the current and
previous state of the system.
Core dump log The core dump provides a summary of the processes
that were running when the system became unresponsive.
The creation of these files is triggered by depressing the reset button (for
either a quick or hard reset) on 3930 Sync + External Timing systems.
The log file creation varies depending on the state of the system when the
reset button is depressed. One of the following scenarios will occur:
System was responsive when the reset button was depressed The
state dump file is generated before the system reboots. There will be
minimal delay (approximately 5 seconds) while the state dump file is
created and stored to the system memory. After the state dump file is
created the system will reboot.
System was unresponsive when the reset button was depressed
In this case a full core dump will be initiated, and then a state dump. There
will be a delay (up to 2 minutes) while the core dump file is created and
stored to system memory. Next the state dump file is created and stored
to system memory. After the both the core dump and state dump files are
When the system reboots, you will be able to retrieve the state dump file and
core dump file (if it exists) from the system. The log files are stored in the
following locations:
State dump log files: /mnt/sysfs/log/push_button_state-dump
Note: If a state dump file already exists on the system, it will be renamed
push_button_state-dump.prev when the new file is created.
Core dump log files: /tmp/corefiles/
These files can be used to assist with troubleshooting the system.

Interfaces
All interfaces on the 3930 are accessible from the faceplate of the unit. With
the exception of the Console port and Alarm port, all the interfaces have
integrated LEDs which provide status information for the port. Figure 9-1 on
page 9-2 and Figure 9-2 on page 9-2 show the faceplate of the unit and
identifies the locations of the different ports.

Note: Not all ports are available on all 3930 systems. See Table 9-1 on
page 9-1 and Table 9-2 on page 9-3 for more information.

The faceplate of the 3930 has two high-capacity ports labelled Port 9 and Port
10. These ports can be configured as either NNI or UNI ports and support both
SFP and SFP+ modules.
These ports are capable of operating at 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps (SFP+) speeds.

The port characteristics are set by the capabilities of the SFPs that are
installed. The SFP ports conform to the IEEE 802.3ae 10-Gigabit Ethernet
standard and are hot-swappable.
The SFP+ connectors also support the use of 1G SFP optics. A copper SFP
installed in these ports support 1000 Mbps only.
These ports also include integrated status LEDs. See 3930 Hardware
Installation and Start-up Manual (009-3223-001) for more information.

Unsupported optics may not function. The list of supported SFP/SFP+ optics
is documented in Packet Networking Transceivers Reference (009-2011-
602). When the 3930 is installed in an outdoor application, extended
temperature optics are required.

The 3930 has eight 1 Gbps Ethernet ports. Ports 1 to 4 are combo ports, with
both an RJ-45 jack and an SFP option available for that port. The SFP ports
are organized in a single row on the front left/center of the chassis with Port 1
on the left and Port 8 on the right/center.
ports are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard and
IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard. When connecting to the RJ-45 copper
ports Cat 5 UTP cables are recommended.
The SFP ports support the following speeds:

Fiber SFPs in ports 1-8 support both 100 and 1000 Mbps
Copper SFPs in ports 1-4 support 1000 Mbps
Copper SFPs in ports 5-8 support 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps

When the 3930 is installed in an outdoor application, extended temperature
SFPs are required.


The 3930 includes one 10/100 Mbps port for out-of-band management. This
port is located on the right of the faceplate and is labeled MGMT 10/100. This
port uses an RJ-45 connector and is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u
1000Base-Tx Ethernet standard.
Ciena requires the use of a Cat 5 STP cable or better for the Management
port. The cable shield must be terminated at both ends. This port is classified
as intra-building only.
The management port can be used to attach a PC directly to the device, or it

can be connected to the network for management. The management port
uses auto-MDI/MDIX. A straight through (MDI) or a crossover cable (MDIX)
can be connected to this port. Connection speed and duplex are negotiated
with auto-negotiation.
This port also includes integrated status LEDs. See 3930 Hardware

Cienas 3931 is a weatherproof advanced Carrier Ethernet system able to

deliver Carrier Ethernet services to virtually any location without sacrificing
leading-edge functionality. The 3931 incorporates a complete OAM suite with
built-in RFC 2544 to support the network and service performance monitoring
requirements of large-scale Ethernet deployments while reducing network
operating costs.
The 3931 SDS is a next-generation high-capacity 28 Gigabit Ethernet SDS.

The unit has its own environmentally hardened enclosure and is designed for
outside plant installations. It meets the specification GR-3108 class 4. The
Inside of the enclosure is divided into two parts, allowing Service Provider craft
and customer access to be segregated.
Two variants of 3931 electronics are available, the 3931 Standard (170-3931-
900) and the 3931 Sync (170-3931-910). Both versions have the same
physical form factor. The difference between the two variants of the 3931 is
that the 3931 Sync supports Synchronous Ethernet, IEEE1588v2 clock and
Stratum 3E holdover clock. The 3931 Standard does not have the hardware
or software to support these advanced features related to timing.
Hardware Overview
The 3931 (Ciena part number 120-3931-900) is a high capacity 28 Gigabit
Ethernet SDS. Both AC and DC power options are available. The redundant

3931 Enclosure
The 3931 is housed in an environmentally hardened enclosure suitable for
exterior mounting. These attributes provide an important savings in cost by
facilitating service provider access and eliminating the requirement for a
protected or conditioned operating environment. For outdoor applications,
weather tight conduit needs to be fitted to the enclosure to prevent moisture
from entering the enclosure.
Figure 10-2 shows the front and 3/4 views of the enclosure. In the 3/4 view
you can see the openings available on the bottom of the enclosure. The
dimensions of the system are provided in 3931 Hardware Installation and
Figure 10-2
3931 Top and Isometric Views
Cable Entry Ports

The 3931 enclosure has 5 openings at the bottom of the enclosure. Four of
these openings come with pre-installed rubber grommets. The fifth opening,
located in the center, is the cable gland and is for the ground cable. See
Grounding on page 10-13 for more information.
For indoor applications, you can cut an opening in the grommet to allow wires
and cables to pass into the enclosure. You can use a utility knife to cut an
opening in the grommet while it is installed in the 3931 enclosure. Figure 10-3
on page 10-5 shows a grommet.

Figure 10-3
Rubber Grommet
For outdoor applications, weather tight conduit needs to be fitted to the

enclosure to prevent moisture from entering the enclosure. All rubber
grommets need to be removed and replaced with conduit or a plug. The holes
on the chassis are sized to accept 1 1/4 conduit adapters (rigid or flexible).

The size of the 3931 enclosure and attached mounting bracket are
summarized in Table 10-2.

Mounting
The 3931 enclosure uses a single large plate as a mounting bracket. The
mounting bracket is included as part of the 3931 enclosure, and comes pre-
installed on the enclosure. Figure 10-4 on page 10-6 shows the bottom of the
enclosure with the mounting bracket installed.
Figure 10-4
3931 Chassis Bottom with Mounting Bracket

This bracket has multiple mounting points and is suitable for direct mount to
an H-frame or wall. Alternatively you can use the optional H-Frame or Pole
Mount kits to mount the system.
The mounting bracket also acts as a heat shield and protects the enclosure
from additional heat due to solar loading from the rear.
Mounting Kits
When you are selecting a site for mounting a system you must ensure that it
is capable of supporting the weight of the unit. The system must be mounted
at least 2 feet 6 inches (76.2 cm) above grade. See 3931 Hardware
There are a number of mounting options for the 3931. Table 10-3 contains a

Electronics Module
The electronics module is installed inside the 3931 enclosure as part of the
system installation. There are two different electronics modules available:
3931 Standard (170-3931-900)
3931 Sync (170-3931-910)
The two variants have the same physical form factor. The difference between
the two variants of the 3931 is that the 3931 Sync supports Synchronous
Ethernet, IEEE1588v2 clock and Stratum 3E holdover clock. The 3931
Standard does not have the hardware or software to support these advanced
features related to timing.
All the ports in the system are located on the electronics module. Table 10-5
provides a quick overview of the interfaces available on the 3931 and Figure
10-1 on page 10-3 provides a view of the interior of the 3931.

grounded.
Alarm 1 Custom alarm cable with no connector. A screw-down terminal-block type

connector is used to secure the bare wires of the alarm cable to the 3931.
Note: Only Ciena approved SFPs can be used with the 3930. The SFP summary and orderable part
numbers are contained in Packet Networking Transceivers Reference (009-2011-602).

Fiber Demarcation Kit (Optional)

The Fiber Demarcation Kit is an optional component that is used when SFPs
are present. The Fiber Demarcation Kit is used to create a connection
between the UNI SFP ports in the Telco Section and the customer accessible
space. If you require customer access to the optical UNI ports at your
installation site, you will need to order and install an SFP and Fiber
Demarcation Kit for each UNI port.
The Fiber Demarcation Kit is composed of two parts: an SC/SC adapter, and
a fiber jumper. Two types of Fiber Demarcation Kit are available, one for
multimode connections and one for single mode connections.
Each Fiber Demarcation Kit can cable a single optical UNI port. Up to four
Fiber Demarcation Kits can be installed per system. Make sure that you order
the Fiber Demarcation Kit that matches the SFP type. The list of supported
SFPs is documented in Packet Networking Transceivers Reference (009-
2011-602).
Figure 10-5 shows the installed Fiber Demarcation Kits.
Figure 10-5
Installed Fiber Demarcation Kits (4 ports)

You can also deploy the 3931 system without the Fiber Demarcation Kits. In
those installations, the 3931 system contains 2 SFP+ NNI ports, and 4 copper
(RJ-45) UNI ports. The 4 optical UNI ports are not used.

input voltages of -/+48 V DC or -/+24 V DC.
WARNING
The 3931 DC power supply meets the surge requirements of
EN 61000-4-5 (+/-500V). For outdoor applications where the
DC feed can be exposed to surges in excess of this level,
external protection which limits the energy on the DC feed to
500V maximum is required.
The DC power cord should be wire size of 14 AWG to 18 AWG wire. Smaller
wire can be used depending on the input breaker.
Table 10-6 on page 10-10 summarizes the minimum and maximum breaker
values for 24 V, 36 V and 48 V input installations.

In order to allow power supply replacement without turning off the incoming
power, the power is terminated on the electronics module and connectorized
into the power supply. Separate feeds are recommended to avoid a single
breaker trip from taking both supplies out.
Dual Power Input Feeds

In order to allow power supply replacement without turning off the incoming
power, the power is terminated on the electronics module and connectorized
into the power supply. Two separate feeds are recommended to avoid a single
fuse/breaker trip from taking both supplies out of service.
Ciena recommends the installation of dual power input feeds, even when only
a single power supply is being used in the system. This allows you to easily
install a second power supply if it is needed at a future date. Alternatively, if a
problem occurs with the power wiring that is in use, it is possible to relocate
the single power supply to the other slot and use the other power wiring since
it is already in place.
Single Power Input Feed

If a single power input feed is required due to site constraints, power jumper
cables can be used to tie the power feeds for PS A and PS B together. This
allows a single power input feed to power redundant supplies and protect
against service outages due to power supply failure.
Note: A fuse is required at the power input source (see Table 10-6 on
page 10-10 for breaker values).
The jumper can be made by the technician and should be the same gauge
wire as the input power feed. The jumper wire should be approximately 3 long
and should have fork terminal spade lugs installed on both ends of the jumper
cable. Two jumper cables will be required.
AC Power Supply

local power codes. You need to obtain the correct power cord to meet your
local requirements.
WARNING
Grounding
The 3931 chassis has a pre-installed cable gland in the center of the bottom
of the enclosure. The ground wire is threaded through the cable gland and
then connected to the ground location inside the chassis. See Figure 10-7 on
page 10-13.
Note: If the 3931 is installed and sealed without installing conduits or

cutting the grommets, it is possible that a vacuum will form in the
enclosure and it may be very difficult to open the door. If this happens the
cable gland should be loosened to allow air into the box. Once the door is
open the cable gland should be re-tightened.

Dying Gasp

Door Alarm
The 3931 is equipped with 2 sensors to detect when the inner door and the
outer chassis door are open or closed. These sensors rely on pressure
switches near the center of the chassis, located just below PS B. The sensors
are labeled as follows:
T Telco. Indicates whether the inner (Telco) door is open or closed. This
is the top sensor. See Figure 10-8 on page 10-15.
C Customer. Indicates whether the outer (Customer) door is open or
closed. This is the bottom sensor. This sensor is visible when the inner
door is closed. See Figure 10-9 on page 10-15.
When either door is opened or closed, a trap is sent indicating the door (inner
or outer) and the state (open or closed).
When both doors are open, you can override the door alarm state by
depressing the C switch for 5 seconds or more. When the door override is
initiated, a trap is sent indicating that the inner door is in override state. This
can be used to quiet door alarms at the network operations center as it

indicates that a crafts person is working on the unit. The override state will also
be displayed on the DOOR LED. See 3931 Hardware Installation and Start-up
Manual (009-3225-001) for more information.

3931 Port Overview

For optical ports, you will need to order SFPs and Fiber Demarcation Kits
(containing optical jumpers) to support your configuration. Make sure you
order the correct SFP (multimode or single mode) and Fiber Demarcation Kit
(multimode or single mode) to match the equipment terminating the optical
link. The list of supported SFPs is documented in Packet Networking
Transceivers Reference (009-2011-602).
WARNING
All electrical interfaces on this product are intended for intra-
building connections only. These interfaces are designed as
type 2 or type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-Core, Issue 5
and require isolation from the exposed outside plant cabling.
Note: Cabling and wiring that is part or the same physical installation,
even if it exits the building or enclosure for a short distance, should
generally be classified as intra-building.

The 3931 has two high-capacity ports identified as port 9 (left optical port) and
port 10 (right optical port) located in the upper left of the 3931 enclosure. In
Figure 10-11 these ports are identified as Optical NNI Ports 9 & 10. The LED
indications are provided in 3931 Hardware Installation and Start-up Manual
(009-3225-001).
These NNI ports are used to connect to the service providers network and
support a 1 Gbps SFP or an 10 Gbps SFP+ module. You will need to order
SFPs to support your configuration. Make sure you order the correct SFP
(multimode or single mode) to match the equipment terminating the optical
link. These ports do not require the Fiber Demarcation Kits.

There are 8 UNI ports in the system:
Four copper RJ-45 ports located across the upper portion of the Telco
Section of the enclosure. The copper ports support the speeds 10/100/
1000 Mbps. These ports are numbered 5 (left port) to 8 (right port). In
Figure 10-11 on page 10-17 these ports are identified as Copper UNI Ports

connections. The 5140 features a high-capacity switching fabric with 24 GbE
ports in a compact (2RU) form factor that allows front access to power and all
system interfaces. The 5140 has an extended temperature range (-40 to
+65C) and a robust physical design that supports deployment in a wide
variety of unconditioned environments, including GR-487 and ETSI-compliant
outdoor cabinets. Because the 5140 provides both SFP and RJ-45 connectors
for each of its 24 GbE interface ports, the switch can support service
aggregation, transport, and demarcation applications in a wide variety of
network topologies, including fiber and microwave rings, point-to-point fiber,
microwave mesh, fiber or copper to subscriber, MTU/MDU/FTTx, and more.
Hardware Overview
The 5140 supports up to 20 User-to-Network Interface (UNI) connections and
4 Network-to-Network Interface (NNI)/UNI connections with combo SFP/RJ-
45 ports. These combo ports can operate at 100 Mbps/1000 Mbps for the
SFPs and 10/100/1000 Mbps for the RJ-45 connectors. All uplink ports can be
active at a single time. One 10/100/1000 Mbps port is also included for local
management.
The product is designed so that all connections (ground, power, and the user
and management interfaces) are located on the front of the chassis. Table
14-1 on page 14-2 provides a quick overview of the interfaces available on the
5140. Power connections are also of the device.

Connecting DC power to the 5140 chassis requires the following items (not
supplied):
Two cable lugs per power source (4 total if 2 power sources are used) for
connecting the input wires to the terminal block on the chassis (standard
eyelet connectors are suggested). The 5140 uses a M3 screw and
accepts a maximum terminal lug width of 0.25. The recommended ring
terminal lug is Panduit PV14-4R.
Two 14 AWG stranded wires per power source (4 total if 2 power sources
are used). A tray cable is required to connect the power source if the
chassis is powered by centralized DC power. The tray cable must be a UL
listed Type TC tray cable and rated at 600 V and 90C, with three
conductors, minimum 14 AWG.
Note: The 5140 must be properly connected to a ground source before
powering on the chassis.
The 5140 utilizes a field replaceable fan tray to provide a cooling air flow
across the internal components. Replacement fan trays can be ordered
through Ciena customer support. The unit can provide adequate cooling even
when one of the fans has failed. If a fan does fail, an alarm/SNMP trap is
generated so that the fan try can be replaced in the next maintenance window.
To ensure that the fan assembly can provide adequate cooling, always
provide a minimum of 3 inches (8 cm) of clearance on the front and back of
the chassis.
The 5140 implements an automatic over-temperature shutdown to protect

electronic components from damage. It will automatically restart when the
ambient temperature returns within the supported operating range.

Cienas 5150 is a high-density Ethernet aggregation switch that addresses the

scalability and cost of the metro network to enable profitable delivery of a wide
range of Ethernet services, including a wide range of Ethernet services,
including business connectivity (E-Access, E-Line, E-LAN, and E-Tree), Layer
2 access to IP services, mobile backhaul, consumer and enterprise triple play
backhaul, and public sector network services (utility smart grid, and private
health care networks).
The 5150 features industry-leading switching capacity and port density in a

compact (2RU) form factor. It supports forty-eight GbE ports and up to four
10GbE ports (optional). Additionally, the efficient architecture, extended
temperature range and compact packaging design enables the 5150 to be
deployed in a wide variety of physical environments, meaning that Ethernet
aggregation can deployed exactly where maximum efficiency of bandwidth
and valuable optical fiber resources may be achieved.
Ciena offers two 5150 variants, the original 5150 Sync (5150-900) and the
upgraded 5150 Packet Timing (5150-910). The 5150 Packet Timing provides
an upgraded Stratum 3E OCXO oscillator to provide 1588v2 Precision Time
Protocol (PTP) support.
Hardware Overview
The 5150 is a Service Aggregation Switch that provides both Gigabit Ethernet
and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The base system provides 48 x 100/1000
Mbps Ethernet User Network Interface (UNI) subscriber ports with Small
Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) connectors.
You also have the option of installing 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet advanced

functionality ports with XFP connectors. The 10 Gigabit ports support both
Network to Network (NNI) and User Network Interface (UNI) provisioning.
The 10 Gigabit ports are added by installing 10 GbE Option Modules. Two
slots are available to install option modules and there are three different option
modules available. See 10 Gigabit Ethernet Pluggable Modules on page

The 5150 is a 2 RU rack-mount fixed form factor, with space for two pluggable
2 x 10 Gigabit Option Modules. The redundant power supplies are hot
swappable and field replaceable and are accessed from the front of the
chassis, with Universal AC and wide-range DC power modules available. The
5150 relies on fans contained within the power supply. Because the power
supplies also contain the system cooling fans, the system must always have
two power supplies installed, except for maintenance events. A single power
supply configuration is not supported.
All ports, management interfaces, LEDs and power connections are

accessible from the front of the 5150 chassis.
Table 16-1 on page 16-2 provides a quick overview of the interfaces available
on the 5150.

If one of the power supply units fails, it should be replaced as soon as

possible. In addition it should be noted that operating the 5150 with an empty
power supply bay for any length of time is not supported. Both power supplies
need to be installed and operational to properly cool the system.
AC Power Supply
The AC power supply module is a Universal input AC power module and
accepts input voltages of 85 V AC to 264 V AC, and 47 Hz to 63 Hz. The
breaker on the power input should be installed as per the National Electrical
Code guidelines, and a 15 Amp breaker should be sufficient.
Note: To meet the requirements of GR-1089 Section 4.12 the use of an

external Surge Protection Device is required.
The AC power cord connects to the faceplate of the module using a standard
plug. The faceplate is equipped with a bail lock mechanism to assist with
power cord retention. The bail lock snaps down over the hood of the power
cord and prevents it from becoming accidentally unplugged when the power
cord is pulled. To remove the power cord from the AC power supply you need
to remove the bail lock before tugging on the power cable.
For each AC power supply you will need one power cord. The exact
specifications of the cord required will vary depending on the local power
codes. For example, the configuration of the plug that is attached to the power
source will vary for each region around the world. You need to obtain the
correct power cord to meet your local requirements.


DC Power Supply
The DC power cord should be 14 AWG wire. You will also need to install fork
terminal spade lugs on the power cord wires to ensure a proper connection
with the terminal block of the power supply.
Table 16-5 contains a summary of the recommended locking fork terminal

lugs.

Each power supply includes two built-in fans to ensure adequate cooling of
the power supply and 5150. To maintain adequate cooling, the ventilation
holes on the chassis need to be kept clear of obstructions.

If the power supply fan should fail or another problem occurs with the power
supply, an alarm is raised and an SNMP trap is sent. If the power supply has
been disabled, an LED indication will also occur showing the defective power
supply is off.

In the event of a power supply failure, the fan in the inoperable power supply
will continue to function. These fans receive power from the system power
provided by the working power supply.
In the event of a fan failure, the 5150 will continue to operate within design
specifications for a short period of time. This is defined as a minimum of 96
hours at 65 degrees Celsius ambient temperature.
Dying Gasp
Note: Dying Gasp functionality is supported on NNI ports only. This

functionality is available on all four 10 Gigabit ports, and the following
1 Gigabit ports: Ports 37 to 48 (bottom row of the chassis).

Possible causes of a dying gasp signal include:

power failure in the power source
disconnection of the DC power source
range:
altitude of 4000 m


damage. The thermal switch continues to monitor the temperature, and when
the temperature returns to the supported operating temperature range, the
unit will automatically restart and resume service.
Fans and Airflow

The only fans in the 5150 are present in the two power supply units. The fans
draw air from the front and side of the unit and exhaust out the rear. The 7.6
cm (3 inch) installation clearance at the front and 6.4 cm (2.5 inch) clearance
at the back of the unit assists with air flow by ensuring that the vents of the unit
are not blocked.
Note: Both power supplies need to be installed to provide sufficient

airflow for thermal management.
The power to the fan is supplied by the system power, not by the power supply
directly. This allows the fan to operate even if the power supply has failed. The
system will continue being adequately cooled even if one of the power
supplies is inoperable. However, if one of the power supplies has failed a
replacement power supply should be installed within a reasonable time period
to restore redundancy to the system.
Grounding

The safety ground connection is provided by one of the following:
DC power supply by the grounding terminal on the DC power supply
AC power supply by the AC power cord

Sync Port
The faceplate of the 5150 can accommodate two pluggable modules. These
modules are identified as Module 2 (upper slot) and Module 3 (lower slot) on
the chassis label. Each module provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports with
XFP connectors. Port 1 is the left port, and port 2 is the right port. The 10
Gigabit Ethernet ports can be configured as either NNI or UNI ports.
If these modules are not installed, a filler plate must be present in this location
to provide proper airflow in the chassis.
These ports use XFPs and the port characteristics are set by the capabilities
of the XFPs that are installed. The XFPs ports conform to the IEEE 802.3ae
10-Gigabit Ethernet standard. The XFPs are hot swappable.
These ports also include integrated status LEDs. Unsupported optics will
generate an LED indication and will not function. The list of supported XFPs
602).

XFPs are required.


The 5150 has forty-eight 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports. These ports are
organized in four rows of twelve ports on the front left side of the chassis. This
block of ports is identified as Module 1 on the chassis label. Port 1 is the left
most port in the top row. Port 48 is the right most port in the bottom row. All
forty-eight ports can be configured as UNI ports. The twelve ports in the
bottom row (ports 37-48) can also be configured as NNI ports.
These ports use SFPs and the port characteristics are set by the capabilities
of the SFPs that are installed. The SFPs ports conform to the IEEE 802.3z
Gigabit Ethernet standard. The SFPs are hot swappable.
These ports also include integrated status LEDs. Unsupported optics will
generate an LED indication and will not function. The list of supported SFPs
602).

SFPs are required. When copper SFPs are used, these ports must be cabled
with shielded Cat 5e cables. Ensure that both ends of the shielded cable are
properly grounded.
Sync Port
Note: This port is available on the Standard with BITS option module only.
This optional module provides two 10 Gigabit XFP ports and a single BITS
interface. A single one of these modules can be installed in a 5150 system.
The port is located on the left side of the 10 Gigabit Option Module faceplate
and is labeled SYNC. This port uses an RJ-45 connector and is intended for
intra-building use only.
The sync port can be used as either a BITS-IN or BITS-OUT interface. For
assistance configuring this port, see 39XX/51XX Configuration (009-3220-
008).
Note: The BITS interface can be configured to be either BITS-IN or BITS-

OUT. It cannot support both BITS-IN and BITS-OUT simultaneously.
Ciena requires a shielded CAT-5 cable or better for this port. The shield of the
cable needs to be terminated at both ends. This interface is classified as intra-
building only.
This port has integrated status LEDs. See 5150 Hardware Installation and
Start-up Manual (009-3222-001) for more information.

Ports
NNI/UNI 24 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet ports with SFP/SFP+ connectors. These are ports 1
to 24.
Optical SFP/SFP+ can be installed in any of these 24 ports.
Copper SGMII transceivers can be installed in any of the ports except ports
19 and 20. When copper transceivers are used the supported speeds are
10/100/1000M.
If the 5160 is configured to use RFC 2544 benchmarking, then Port 20
becomes unavailable, thereby reducing the effective port count of the 5160
system by one. The RFC 2544 benchmarking feature is enabled through
the CLI and requires the Advanced-OAM license of SAOS.
It is highly recommended that the network operator determine at
installation time whether RFC benchmarking will run on the 5160, and does
not change it thereafter. If you subsequently disable RFC 2544
benchmarking, a configuration save and system reboot is required before
Port 20 becomes available for use. If you subsequently enable RFC 2544
benchmarking, all traffic configuration that is directly or indirectly
associated with Port 20 must be removed, the configuration saved and the
system rebooted.

Alarm Circuit Guidelines

The systems in the Packet Networking portfolio that support external alarm
inputs are listed in Table 19-1 on page 19-2. The alarm circuitry for all these
systems follows the same basic guidelines as outlined in this section.
Alarm Sense Circuit

The alarm sense circuit has the following characteristics:
Is negative with respect to local ground
Will be within +/- 60 V of local ground
The sense loop can be closed if the alarm sense is connected to a remote
ground as opposed to the supplied sense return signal
Current in the sense loop will be less than 2 mA when closed with a short
The default state of each alarm circuit can be open or closed. The system
will flag any state changes.
Alarm Circuit Voltage
The alarm circuit voltage behavior is as follows:
The alarm will not be triggered with a leakage current of up to +/- 1 uA
The alarm will function normally if a resistance of 8.6K or less and a
voltage of +/- 6.8 V or less is introduced into the loop.

19-4 Alarms

The 15-pin D-sub connector is used for the alarm connection on the 5150.
The 5150 supports 5 external closed contact alarm inputs. The alarm
connector is a D-sub 15 style connector in the center/right section of the 5150
faceplate labelled Alarm. The 5150 uses a custom alarm connection, and
there are only 14 pins defined and used on both the connector and the alarm
cable. The 15 foot alarm cable has a D-sub connector on one end, and bare
wires on the other. These wires are then connected to a wire wrap panel.
The alarm port pinout is provided in Table 19-2 on page 19-4.

A custom cable is available to connect to the alarm input on systems using the
26-pin D-sub connector. The 15 foot alarm cable has a high density 26-pin D-
sub connector on one end, and bare wires on the other. These wires are then
connected to a wire wrap panel.
Of the 26 pins on the connector, there are 16 return sense connections to

detect switch close or opens and 8 returns. Up to two alarm sense lines can
be connected to each return. The alarm sense lines can be paired with any
return, however, it is recommended that the sensed switches that are paired
come from equipment that is commonly grounded. The alarm pinout is
provided in Table 19-3 on page 19-5.

Terminal Block Alarm Inputs

The 3931 supports 5 external alarm inputs. A screw-down terminal-block type
connector is used to accept the external alarms. See Figure 19-1.
Figure 19-1
Location of the 3931 Alarm Input Block
The connector supports 10 wires, in pairs of alarm and return. For example,
pin 1 is the alarm sense for Alarm 1, and pin 2 is the alarm return lead for
Alarm 1. The alarms will detect a short or open circuit. All the return pins are
bridged on the 3931 electronics module. This allows you to connect a single
return wire for use by multiple alarms. There is no defined mapping between
the alarm-sense lead and the alarm type. The alarms that you connect need
to be configured in the software.
Note: The 3931 also has a number of internal alarms. See Internal
Alarms on page 10-14 for more information.

used to attach a terminal or a PC to the device for out-of-band management.
This port is not intended to be installed as a permanent connection. It is
labeled Console.
Note: The serial console port does not support connectivity to a modem.
The console port can be either DB-9 or RJ-45. Table 21-1 provides a
summary of the connection type by platform.

Note: Multiple RJ-45 cables are available. See RJ-45 console cable on page 21-4 for more
information.
There are two console pinouts:

EIA-232 this is used by DB-9 console ports on Packet Networking
products
EIA-561 this is used by RJ-45 console ports on Packet Networking
products
Additional information is provided in this chapter.
Serial EIA-232 on DB-9

The EIA-232 port connector utilizes a standard DB-9 connector that follows
standard DTE wiring pin assignment. Figure 21-1 shows the DB-9 device side
(male connector) pin locations. The corresponding EIA-232 console port
pinout is provided in Table 21-2 on page 21-2.

DB-9 console cable

A null modem cable should be used to connect a PC (DTE) to the device
console port. You can use a standard DB-9 to USB adaptor cable.
Serial EIA-561 on RJ-45

The EIA-561 port connector uses a standard RJ-45 connector. Figure 21-2
shows the connector pin locations. Table 21-2 shows the console port
pinouts.

RJ-45 console cable

Note: The console cable can be used for a number of Ciena products
within the Packet Networking portfolio. See Table 21-1 on page 21-1 for a
summary.
The console RJ-45 pinout is EIA compatible and can be converted to DB-9
(male or female) or Cisco pinout with separately purchased Ciena conversion
cables. There are three adapter cables available:
Console Serial Adapter (170-0062-900), RJ-45 EIA to Cisco RJ-45 pinout,
6 inches must be connected to a customer supplied null modem cable
Console Serial Cable (170-0063-900), RJ-45 EIA to DB-9 Female for
direct connection to laptop, 6 ft no additional cables required.
Console Serial Adapter (170-0064-900), RJ-45 EIA pinout to DB-9 male
connector, 6 inches must be connected to a customer supplied null
modem cable
Console port connection settings
On 3916, 3930, 3931, and 5150 switches, the serial console port requires a
null modem cable connected to a male DB-9 to male RJ-45 cable to connect
to the RJ-45 connector.
Other switches in the product family, such as the 3911, 3920, 3940, 3960, and
5140, support an EIA-232 connector requiring a DB-9 cable.
The console port connection settings are the same for all console ports, both
serial EIA-232 and serial EIA-561, within the Packet Networking portfolio.
You can use terminal emulation software (e.g. HyperTerminal) to connect to

the system. The initial settings should be as follows:
serial port VT-100 interface
9600 baud
8 bits
no parity
1 stop bit
no flow control
Default login
Once a connection has been established, the default login is as follows:
Username: su
Password: wwp

Procedures related to the initial configuration of a newly installed system are

located in the Hardware Installation and Start-up manual for each product. A
complete list of the available documents is provided in Documentation
roadmap on page 2-1.
