RSTP and addresses the defects of STP and RSTP. MSTP supports fast convergence. In
addition, MSTP provides multiple trails for data forwarding to achieve load balance.
l Configure MPLS tunnels: On a PSN network, an MPLS tunnel carries pseudo wires (PWs)
where various services are encapsulated. In this manner, data packets can be transparently
transmitted between NEs. You can dynamically adjust the number of virtual containers
required for service mapping, so as to satisfy bandwidth requirements of different services.
In this manner, bandwidth usage and robustness of virtual concatenation are improved.
l Configure link-state pass through (LPT): LPT is used to return the remote-end link status
to the local end so that operations on the local equipment can vary with the remote-end link
status. The Ethernet board periodically monitors the network to learn the network condition.
When the connection to Ethernet ports changes due to a link failure, the LPT function helps
switch services quickly from the working route to the protection route between the two
ends, maintaining the transmission of important data.
l Configure Ethernet ring protection switching (ERPS): Based on the conventional Ethernet
mechanism, ERPS uses the Ethernet OAM function and the ring automatic protection
switching (R-APS) protocol to achieve fast protection switching on the Ethernet ring
network.

This appendix describes service ports of the Web LCT, related precautions, and how to query
the service ports.
A.1 Background
This section describes the service ports used by management systems.
A.2 Notes and Precautions
In the practical communication process, the source (the server) and the sink (the client) use
relevant ports. Usually you only need to specify the source port, and the sink port is dynamically
created.
A.3 Service Ports Used by the Web LCT
This section describes service ports of the system.
A.4 How to Query Service Ports
This section describes how to query the service ports.
A.1 Background
This section describes the service ports used by management systems.
To ensure the network security, you can take measures on the customer's network. The following
are the two cases that affect the network security:
l Security filtering settings such as routers or firewalls are configured in the network
environment where the NMS runs. When carrying out the project, avoid the service ports
used by the NMS being filtered by those security filtering settings.
l Some service ports providing system services are closed to prevent network or virus attacks.
Note that the service ports used by the NMS should not be closed, and otherwise the NMS
will not run properly.
Table A-1 lists the server ports used by the Web LCT.
Procedure
l Run the following command to view the Windows system service ports:
netstat -a

B Glossary
Alarm hold-off time Alarm delay includes start delay and end
delay. An alarm is not regarded as being
generated until the NE has been detecting it
for a period of time, and this period of time is
the alarm start hold-off time. An alarm is not
regarded as being cleared until the NE has
been detecting the ending of it for a period of
time, and this period of time is the alarm end
hold-off time. Setting the hold-off time can
avoid the generation of unnecessary alarms
due to misreport or jitter.
Board View The Board View displays the ports and the
paths in different colors depending on their
current status, with legend and description
illustrated aside.
VC4 loopback The fault of each VC4 path on the optical fiber
can be located by setting loopback for each
VC4 path of the line. There are three kinds of
loopback modes: No loopback, Outloop,
Inloop.
