Configuring Virtual Tributary Mapping of Channelized STM1 Interfaces

You can configure virtual tributary mapping to use KLM mode or ITU-T mode. To configure virtual tributary mapping, include the vtmapping statement at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number pic pic-number] hierarchy level: By default, virtual tributary mapping uses KLM mode. For the Channelized STM1 IQ PIC, you can configure virtual tributary mapping by including the vtmapping statement at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port sonetoptions] hierarchy level: [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port sonet-options] vtmapping (klm | itu-t); Table 30 lists the KLM mappings used by the channelized STM1-to-E1 PIC interfaces. The PIC defaults to KLM numbering with an offset of -1; for example, KLM 1= STM1 PIC 0.

SDH multiplex structure

Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is a CCITT standard for a hierarchy of optical transmission rates. Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) is an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard for North America, that is largely equivalent to SDH. Both are widely spread technologies for very high speed transmission of voice and data signals across the numerous world-wide fiber-optic networks. SDH and SONET are point-to-point synchronous networks that use TDM multiplexing across a ring or mesh physical topology. The main difference between both standards are the some header/pointer informations and the transmission rates. The base transport module of SDH is the synchronous transport module with a transmission rate of 155,52mbps (STM-1), SONET uses OC-1 (~51mbs) as base module.

SDH/SONET transmission rates

SDH multiplex structure The SDH multiplex structure shown in the picture is defined in ITU-T G.707 and describes how low order signals are multiplexed into higher multiplex levels.

KLM values Imagine you have a large number of E1 customer aggregated on a PA-MC-STM-1SMI (Cisco) or a PE-1CHSTM1-SMIR-QPP (Juniper). The low order signal is transported over an SDH network, through the nmerous multiplex levels, and is terminated on your channelized STM-1 card. For configuring the customers interface on the aggregation device, you need to know in which timeslot the customers E1 resides. > This position is specified by the KLM values. Heres an overview for the KLM values of a STM-1:

Acrnimo de KLM:
KLM = Keystroke-Level Model

Dear all I want to explain you KLM formula. There are two types to represent E1. First is sequential and other one is interleaved. Let us discuss first one. Formula k+3(L-1) + 21(M-1). For example you want to represent E#56 sequentially 3+3(5-1) + 21(2-1) = 3+3*4+21*1 = 3+12+21 = 36 where K=3 represents TUG3, L represents TUG2 and M represents VC12. If you want to show it in KLM this would be 352. Now for interleaved number i.e which E1 number of STM1 this is we only change the formula. 21(k-1) + 3(L-1)+M by putting values. 21(3-1)+3(5-1)+2 = 21*2+3*4+2 = 42+12+2 = 56 which shows if you are given 352 and asked to tell which E1# this is you can easily answer that it is 56th E1.

All the details for KLM is very brief and i like it, but i want to know if a E1 number is given and asks to find the corresponding KLM, then what? Is there any formula to obtain the KLM value? ANSWER: If you are given an E1 number, N, and you want the corresponding KLM number.You proceed as follows: Step 1: N/21 = Q Remainder R (Q=Quotient, R=Remainder) Q and R are both integers. If R=0 then K = Q Else K = Q+1. Alternatively: For 1 <= N <= 21 K = 1 For 22<= N <= 42 K = 2 For 43<= N <= 63 K = 3 Step 2: For 1<=N<=21 N/3 = Q Remainder R. If R = 0 then L = Q, Else L = Q + 1. For 22<=N<=42 N-21=P, P/3 = Q Remainder R. If R = 0 then L = Q, Else L = Q + 1. For 43<=N<=63 N-42=P, P/3 = Q Remainder R. If R = 0 then L = Q, Else L = Q + 1. Step 3: N/3 = Q Remainder R, If R = 0 then M = 3, Else M = R. Example: Given E1 = 56 Step 1: 56/21 = 2 Remainder 14. Since R=14 is not equal to Zero, then K = 2+1 = 3. Step 2: 42 < 56 < 63 then 56-42 = P = 14. Now 14/3 = 4 remainder 2.Since R = 2 and 2 is not equal to zero, then L = 4+1=5 Step 3: 56/3 = 18 Remainder 2. Since R=2 is not equal to zero, then M =R=2. Therefore the KLM number for E1#56 is 3.5.2

This is how you do it. Given E1 number N and you want the K.L.M then proceed as follows; Step1: N/21 = Q1 remainder R1. If R1 = 0, then K = Q1.Else K = Q1+1. Step2: R1/3 = Q2 remainder R2. If R2 = 0 then L = Q2.Else L = Q2+1. Step3: N/3 = Q3 remainder R3. If R3 = 0 then M = 3. Else M = R3.

Example: What is K.L.M for E1 57? Step1: 57/21 = 2 remainder 15. Therefore K = 2+1 = 3. Step2: 15/3 = 5 remainder 0. Therefore L = 5. Step3: 57/3 = 19 remainder 0. Therefore M = 3. So the K.L.M for E1#57 is 3.5.3 Sometimes you want to convert from KLM to ITU-T mode. You proceed as follows: Given K.L.M as N1.N2.N3 then ITU-T mode is N3.N2.N1 Example: Converting KLM 2.4.3 to ITU-T Mode yields 3.4.2. Thats you map E1#33 to 53 to match two interfaces using the two different modes. Now you are given KLM for an E1. How do you calculate the E1 number? Proceed as follows: If K.L.M = K.7.3 then N = 21 * K. E.g 3.7.3 coresponds to 21*3 = E1#63. If K.L.M = K.L.3 then N = 21(K-1) + 3*L. E.g 3.4.3 corresponds to 21(3-1) + 3*4 = 42 + 12 = 54. 3.3.3 corresponds to E1#54. Generally Speaking N = 21(K-1) + 3(L-1) + M: for M not equal to 3 and L not equal to 7. ------------------------------------------------
