This chapter provides information about configuring Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) on the Cisco
7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus (ES+) and Ethernet Services PlusT (ES+T) line cards on the
Cisco 7600 series router.
ALS can be configured on the following Cisco 7600 Series ES+ Extended Transport (ES+XT) line cards
and Cisco 7600 Series ES+ Transport (ES+T) line cards:
• 76-ES+XT-2TG3CXL
• 76-ES+XT-4TG3CXL
• 76-ES+T-2TG
• 76-ES+T-4TG
• 76-ES+XC-20G3C
• 76-ES+XC-20G3CXL
• 76-ES+XC-40G3C
• 76-ES+XC-40G3CXL

Chapter 11 Configuring Automatic Laser Shutdown
If a break remains in the fiber, one or both LOS alarms will remain and the transmitters will be disabled.
The near-end transmitter will turn off at the end of its pulse.
There are two types of restart: manual and automatic. In manual restart, you can request a single restart
pulse from the ALS agent. In automatic restart, the ALS agent sends a periodic restart pulse; the period
is configurable.

Example:
Router(config-if)# als
Step 5 als restart {mode | pulse} Request an ALS restart mode.
Example:
Router(config-if)# als restart
Step 6 als restart mode {automatic | manual} Selects the ALS restart mode.
Example:
Router(config-if)# als restart mode automatic
Step 7 als restart pulse {interval 100-20000 | width Selects the ALS pulse mode.
2-200}
Example:
Router(config-if)# als restart pulse interval

Verification
Use the following commands to verify operation.
Command Purpose
Router# show als {all | interface} Displays ALS shutdown status for all or selected
interfaces.
Examples
The following are examples of ALS configuration commands:
Router(config)# interface t2/1
Router(config-if)# als ?
<cr>
Router(config-if)# als
Router(config-if)# do show running inter t2/1
Building configuration...
Router(config-if)# als ?
