Dear,

We need to configure 1GBE (VC4-8C) using DXC 15600 with MSP1+1(between client and 15600 Network). but service provider said we cann't do MSP1+1 on I GBE. Is This right? and Why?

Thanks.

Mohamed,

You cannot do a MSP1+1 on a Gig port on any SONET/SDH box.  Because MSP1+1 is a SONET/SDH protection switching scheme.  It is not an enterprise/data switching scheme.  I do  not know what the client equipment is you are connecting this to but I am pretty sure it does not support MSP1+1 on Gig ports. 


On the other hand an alternative is to use SDH ports on the client equipment and connect to the 15600 with SDH signals.  This will support MSP1+1.  Inside the SDH signal you can have the VC4-8C and the client can put data inside the VC4-8C. 

The Client side port would require a pair of STM16 POS/Optical interfaces which would connect to the 15600.  These ports can be setup to do MSP1+1 between the 15600 and the client.
