Restoration Process
Figure 3-2 shows the process of restoring multi-layer links.
Context
Existing multi-layer links on the live network are traditionally managed through the NMS or
CLI. To smoothly evolve live networks to SDN, NCE (Super) provides the function to restore
existing multi-layer links on the live network.
NCE (Super) processes the SLA attributes of reported client service paths as follows:
1. If a multi-layer link is restorable, NCE (Super) retains the SLA attribute of the
corresponding client service path after the restoration.
2. If the status of the client service reported by NCE (Transport Domain) is degraded (one
of the links under 1+1 protection is unavailable), NCE (Super) can still restore the
corresponding multi-layer link. After the restoration, NCE (Super) displays an available
optical path and an unavailable optical path in the physical topology.
3. For an associable multi-layer link, if the SLA level of the optical path reported by NCE
(Transport Domain) is different from the SLA level of the local multi-layer link on NCE
(Super), NCE (Super) cannot restore the multi-layer link.
l Multi-layer link restoration cannot be undone. Ensure that the data to be restored is the
same as network configurations.
l If the current user account does not have the operation permission, enter the username and
password that have the operation permission as prompted. For details about operation
permissions, see "User Rights Management" in NCE Configuration Guide (Basic
Functions).
l Table 3-7 describes the rules for determining the restoration types of multi-layer
physical interface links.
NOTE
l For multi-layer Eth-Trunk links, NCE (Super) determines whether a multi-layer Eth-
Trunk link can be restored based on the member links:
– If all member links are restorable, the multi-layer Eth-Trunk link is restorable.
– If all member links are associable, the multi-layer Eth-Trunk link is associable.
– If any member link is incomplete, the multi-layer Eth-Trunk link is incomplete.
Procedure
Step 1 Open the Multi-Layer Network Navigator app and choose Multi-Layer Discovery > Multi-
Layer Topology Discovery from the main menu.
Step 2 (Optional) In the upper-left corner of the page, filter links according to the restoration type for
the purpose of classification.
Step 3 Click to view the detailed link information to determine whether to perform the
restoration operation.
Step 5 In the Risk dialog box, select the check box and click OK.
Step 7 After the progress bar reaches 100%, a message is displayed, indicating that the restoration is
successful.
Step 8 After the restoration, you can switch to the Multi-Layer Link page by choosing Multi-Layer
Provisioning > Multi-Layer Link Management to view the details of restored links.
NOTE
After the restoration, these multi-layer links automatically enter the active state (Running Status is Up)
and do not need to be activated any longer. If you want to plan new disjoint or protection groups for
these links, deactivate them first.

l Cross links have been configured. For details, see 3.2.1 Creating Cross Links.
l Multi-layer links have been configured. For details, see 4.1 Creating Multi-Layer
Links.
l You have permissions for application-level operations in IP Plus Optical Multi-Layer
Network Group.
l You have permissions for application-level operations in Tunnel Management.
Context
l Multi-layer link disjoint groups are generally used with multi-layer link protection
groups. Adding the working and protection links in a protection group to a disjoint group
ensures that working and protection links do not share the same optical path. If the
working and protection links use the same optical path, the protection mechanism cannot
function properly.
l Two methods are available for creating multi-layer link disjoint groups:
a. Manually creating multi-layer link disjoint groups
b. Creating multi-layer link disjoint groups by importing a template
NOTE
l A disjoint group can take effect only after it is delivered. Note that the delivery of a disjoint group
must be prior to the activation of multi-layer links in the group. If you activate the multi-layer links
in a disjoint group before delivering the group, the disjoint group cannot take effect after being
delivered. The delivery of a disjoint group does not affect activated multi-layer links in the group.
l If the SLA level of a multi-layer link is 1+1 protection (1+1 rerouting/permanent 1+1/static 1+1), the
multi-layer link cannot be added to a disjoint group. This restriction also applies to the member links
of an Eth-Trunk multi-layer link.
Step 2 Choose Multi-Layer Link Disjoint Group from the navigation pane and click Create.
Step 3 In the Create Disjoint Group dialog box, set parameters. For details, see Table 4-11. Click
OK. The disjoint group is created.
Click to add multi-layer links to group A and group B. As shown in the following figure,
multi-layer physical interface links and multi-layer Eth-Trunk links (including their member
links) are displayed in the list.
Step 4 Select the disjoint group to be delivered and click Deliver for the disjoint group to take effect.
A disjoint group cannot be modified or deleted after being delivered. Exercise caution when
performing this operation.
Step 5 In the Risk dialog box, select the check box and click OK. After the multi-layer link disjoint
group is successfully delivered, Delivery Status changes to Delivered.

Multi-layer protection reuses idle optical resources and router ports to provide service
protection. It is a low-priority post-event protection mechanism that applies to catastrophic
network scenarios. IP+optical synergy can use redundant fibers, ports, and routers for multi-
layer protection. In general, IP+optical synergy utilizes all possible service restoration means
to ensure high service availability.
A multi-layer link has six switching states: Normal, Switching, SwitchedOver, SwitchOver
failed, SwitchingBack, and SwitchBack failed. Figure 2-1 shows the transition between
different switching states.
In the preceding boxes, blue indicates the normal state, green the intermediate state, and
yellow the abnormal state.
abnormal switchback does not affect traffic forwarding. Services are still forwarded along
links used before the switchback. If a switchover or switchback is abnormal, you can locate
the fault according to the log information, rectify the fault, and then trigger the switchover or
switchback again.
5.1 Configuring the Port Resource Pool
Configuring the port resource pool is the prerequisite for performing an MLR-P or MLR-N
switchover.
5.2 Multi-Layer Port Protection
Multi-layer restoration by router port (MLR-P) restores service paths with spare IP ports. If an
IP port fails, the system uses a spare port to set up a protection link and automatically triggers
MLR-P switching. This implementation enables multi-layer resources to be dynamically
reused, saving port resources on the entire network.
5.3 Multi-Layer Node Protection
Multi-layer restoration by router node (MLR-N) restores service paths with redundant
aggregation routers. If a fault occurs on an IP node of a link, the system automatically triggers
an MLR-N switchover to switch services from the faulty working link to the protection link,
ensuring service continuity.
Prerequisites
l You have permissions for application-level operations in IP Plus Optical Multi-Layer
Network Group.
l You have permissions for application-level operations in Tunnel Management.
Procedure
Step 1 Open the Multi-Layer Network Navigator app and choose Multi-Layer Optimization >

Step 5 In the Add Port Resources dialog box, select a port and click OK to add the port to the spare
port pool.
NOTE
During MLR-P and MLR-N traffic switching, only ports with Running Status being Down can take
traffic. The ports with Running Status being Up are already used by other services by default.

Multi-Layer Traffic View from the main menu.
The main area of the traffic view is basically the same as that of the physical topology view.
The supported user operations (rotation, dragging, and zooming) are the same. The difference
lies in that multi-layer links and OCh trails are colored in the main area of the traffic view.
l Multi-layer links are classified into three levels based on bandwidth usage and marked in
different colors in the topology view. Red indicates that a link is faulty.
l OCh trails are classified into three levels based on wavelength usage and marked in
different colors in the topology view. Red indicates that an OCh trail is faulty.

Prerequisites
l You have permissions for application-level operations in IP Plus Optical Multi-Layer
Network Group.
l You have permissions for application-level operations in Tunnel Management.
l The member link resource pool has been configured. For details, see 7.1.1 Configuring
BOD Resource Pools.
Procedure
Step 1 Configure an automatic BOD policy.
Automatic BOD may affect the service traffic carried on the multi-layer link and cause link
exceptions. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
1. Open the Multi-Layer Network Navigator app and choose Multi-Layer Optimization
> Multi-Layer Network BOD from the main menu.
2. Choose Automatic Multi-Layer Link BOD from the navigation pane and click Create.
3. In the Create Policy dialog box, set parameters and click OK.
Parameter Description
Overload time (min) Time when the bandwidth usage remains above the threshold
for capacity expansion.
Underload time Time when the bandwidth usage is below the capacity
(min) reduction threshold.
2. In the Capacity Expansion dialog box, select the multi-layer link to be added to the
capacity expansion policy and click OK.
3. In the Application Results dialog box, All successful is displayed. Click Close.
NOTE
If a failure message is displayed, check whether the multi-layer link still exists. The possible cause
is that another user has deleted the link.
Step 3 After the capacity expansion policy is configured, click for the policy to take effect.
NOTE
Disabling a capacity expansion policy does not clear the accumulated overload time. Assume that the
capacity expansion threshold is 60% and the overload time is 5 minutes. After the bandwidth usage of a
multi-layer link remains 70% for 4 minutes, the capacity expansion policy is first disabled and then
enabled. In this case, NCE (Super) automatically starts capacity expansion after 1 minute (because the
total overload time reaches 5 minutes).
l Policy page after BOD: The bandwidth usage decreases and is displayed in green, and
Last Execution Result is Success.
l Resource pool page after BOD: The status of the member link changes from Inactive to
Active and the name of the multi-layer link to which the member link belongs is
displayed.
