Has anyone on this list configured a Juniper ACX6360-OX (transponder mode) in a metro passive DWDM setup? If so, would you be willing to look at a config and answer some questions? I'm attempting to get the following working: Router<-100G-Grey->ACX6360-OX<-100G CFP2 Tuned->FS Passive Mux/Demux<-Dark Fiber->FS Passive Mux/Demux<-100G CFP2 Tuned->ACX6360-OX<-100G Grey->Router The total distance between sides is less than 10km. I've seen this setup working in the field from other providers, but we haven't been able to get it working properly. And there isn't much documentation material available for this platform from Juniper.
I would say you want to check all the optics and light levels along the way at each hop to verify things are working as expected, including the the light levels out of the passive mux. I have seen bad ports on an AWG/passive mux before, so the more you can test/loop to figure out what is working and what isn't will be best. make sure that if there's any payload options thos eare set correctly, be they otu or odu for your 100g signal. Have you logged into the FPC and dumped the i2c to verify the optic tuning is staying, or is it tuned with an external box, eg: flexbox? - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
