Synopsis 

Description 
This interface is used by the client to discover all of the protection groups currently in operation for the 
ME. Note that Prime Optical does not have any protection groups for path protection. 
The supported protection group types are PGT_MSP_1_FOR_N, PGT_MSP_1_PLUS_1, 
PGT_2_FIBER_BLSR, PGT_4_FIBER_BLSR, and PGT_Y_CABLE. 
 
The following table lists default names for the protection groups when created through CTC. 
 
PGT_MSP_1_FOR_1 

Slot n (Equipment Native Name), where n represents the slot number of the 
protecting equipment. For example, slot 3 (DS3IN). 

PGT_MSP_1_FOR_N 

Slot n (Equipment Native Name), where n represents the slot number of the 
protecting equipment. For example, slot 3 (DS3XM). 

PGT_MSP_1_PLUS_1  Slot n (Equipment Native Name), port m, where n represents the slot number 

and m represents the protecting port number. For example, slot 5 (OC3), port 1. 

PGT_2_FIBER_BLSR  No defaults; the name is a user-specified ring ID from 1 to 9999. 
PGT_4_FIBER_BLSR  No defaults; the name is a user-specified ring ID from 1 to 9999. 
PGT_Y_CABLE 

SHELF N SLOT M PORT O, where N represents the shelf number, M 
represents the slot number, and O represents the protecting port number.  
For example, SHELF 5 SLOT 6 PORT 1-1 

If the PGP configuration is 4-fiber BLSR, there are three protection groups reported for this 
configuration: two PGT_1_FOR_N component groups and one PGT_4_FIBER_BLSR group. 
The ONS 15600 SONET and ONS 15600 SDH support only PGT_MSP_1_PLUS_1 protection group.
