Configuration Networking Diagram
For the two-fiber bidirectional MSP ring in a single ring network, the configuration networking diagram is relative simple. In the network construction, you should create and name NEs in sequence according to the certain direction, which helps you facilitate the planning of the service flow and service configuration.
Figure 1 shows a two-fiber bidirectional MSP ring consisting of four MSTP equipment. In this example, the PQ1 boards that are installed on the source NE (NE1) and sink NE (NE3) function as the tributary boards to add and drop services, and the SL16 boards that are installed on the source NE (NE1) and sink NE (NE3) as the line boards to transmit SDH services.

NOTE:
This topic considers the OptiX OSN 3500 as an example to describe the board layout. In the case of other products, the configuration method is the same, except for the slots. For the slot information, see the Hardware Description of the relevant product.
Service Signal Flow and Timeslot Allocation
When the MSP subnet is created, you can configure the two-fiber bidirectional MSP service that enters the ring network directly from the source NE, passes through the intermediate node and then is dropped on the sink NE. For the ring network service, there is more than one route from the source NE to the sink NE. In actual application scenarios, not all routes need to be configured. Thus, you should properly plan and configure the service direction and timeslots before the configuration.
Figure 1shows the service signal flow and timeslot allocation. In this example, five E1 services are configured to enter the ring network from NE1, pass through NE2, and then are dropped on the sink NE (NE3).

Configuration Process
The configuration of the two-fiber bidirectional MSP service is independent of creation of its MSP protection subnet. In the case that the protection subnet is created, you need to respectively configure SDH services from the tributary board to the line board on the source NE and the destination NE, and configure the pass-through service on the intermediate NE.
Prerequisites
The physical network topology must be created.
The NEs, boards, and fibers must be created on the U2000.
Lower order cross-connection resources must meet service configuration requirements. For details on how to query lower order cross-connection resources, see Querying Lower Order Cross-Connection Resources.
The created protection subnet must be consistent with the actual topology. For how to create the protection subnet, see Creating an MS Ring Protection Subnet.
Contents in Service Signal Flow and Timeslot Allocation must be mastered.
Context
CAUTION:
When the lower order resources are insufficient, do as follows:
Combine available lower order resources.
Use a cross-connect board with a higher lower order cross-connect capacity.
Configure VC-4 services.

- See Verifying the Correctness of the Service Configuration to check whether the service configuration is correct.
- Enable the performance monitoring of the NE. For the operation steps, see Enabling, Disabling and Setting Performance Monitoring of the NE.
- Back up the configuration data of the NEs. For details, see Backing Up the NE Configuration Data to the SCC Board.
Relevant Task
If the services are configured incorrectly and need to be deleted, see Deleting SDH Services.
After SDH services are configured on a per-NE basis, you need to perform an SDH trail search so that you can manage configured services by using the trail management function. For details, see Searching for SDH Services.
