configure tdm hierarchy

configure tdm hierarchy [t1 | e1]

Description

Configures the time division multiplexing (TDM) hierarchy to be used by the physical layer carrier system of the switch. This can be either the North American hierarchy (e.g., T1, T3, OC-3, etc.) or the European hierarchy (E1, E3, STM-1, etc.). The configuration of the TDM hierarchy is a global configuration affecting all TDM ports present in the switch. When the TDM hierarchy is changed, the command warns the user with the following messages if any CES is already configured:

 Message: A save and reboot are required before the changes take effect. Upon reboot, TDM port parameters will be reset to defaults. Error: Cannot change TDM hierarchy with CES pseudo-wire(s) configured. All CES pseudo-wire(s) must be deleted before changing TDM hierarchy. Error: Cannot change TDM hierarchy with TDM service(s) configured. All TDM service(s) must be deleted before changing TDM hierarchy. 

Syntax Description

Usage Guidelines

Recommended sequence of CLI commands for changing TDM hierarchy (e.g., changing E1 (default) to T1):
  • Before reboot:

configure tdm hierarchy t1 save configuration reboot

Example

E4G-200#delete ces all
E4G-200#delete tdm service circuit all
E4G-200#configure tdm hierarchy t1
A Save and Reboot are required to make the changes effect at the next reboot of this switch. Upon reboot, TDM port parameters will be reset to defaults
E4G-200#save configuration
E4G-200#reboot
