THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY
PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET
THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE
SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy.
If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B
digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or
television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or
one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the
following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on
circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Chapter 1
Hardware Installation
Installation Overview
Warning
The ONS 15454 is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is
where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock, key,
or other means of security. A restricted access area is controlled by the authority responsible for
the location.
Warning
The ONS 15454 is suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surfaces only.
Caution
Note
Unused card slots should be filled with a blank faceplate (Cisco P/N 15454-BLANK). The blank
faceplate ensures proper airflow when operating the ONS 15454 without the front door attached,
although Cisco recommends that the front door remain attached.
The ONS 15454 is designed to comply with GR-1089-CORE Type 2 and Type 4. Install and operate
the ONS 15454 only in environments that do not expose wiring or cabling to the outside plant.
Acceptable applications include Central Office Environments (COEs), Electronic Equipment
Enclosures (EEEs), Controlled Environment Vaults (CEVs), huts, and Customer Premise
Environments (CPEs).
1.1 Installation Overview
When installed in an equipment rack, the ONS 15454 assembly is typically connected to a fuse and alarm
panel to provide centralized alarm connection points and distributed power for the ONS 15454. Fuse and
alarm panels are third-party equipment and are not described in this documentation. If you are unsure
about the requirements or specifications for a fuse and alarm panel, consult the documentation for the
related equipment. The front door of the ONS 15454 allows access to the shelf assembly, fan-tray
assembly, and cable-management area. The backplanes provide access to alarm contacts, external
interface contacts, power terminals, and BNC/SMB connectors.
Warning
The ONS 15454 relies on the protective devices in the building installation to protect against short
circuit, overcurrent, and grounding faults. Ensure that the protective devices are properly rated to
protect the system, and that they comply with national and local codes.
Warning
Incorporate a readily-accessible, two-poled disconnect device in the fixed wiring.
You can mount the ONS 15454 in a 19- or 23-inch rack. The shelf assembly weighs approximately 55
pounds with no cards installed and features a front door for added security, a fan tray module for cooling,
and extensive cable-management space.
ONS 15454 optical cards have SC connectors on the card faceplate. Fiber optic cables are routed into
the front of the destination cards. Electrical cards (DS-1, DS-3, DS3XM-6, and EC-1) require electrical
interface assemblies (EIAs) to provide the cable connection points for the shelf assembly. In most cases,
EIAs are ordered with the ONS 15454 and come pre-installed on the backplane. See the “Backplane
Access” section on page 1-14 for more information about the EIAs.

1.3 Rack Installation
Warning
To prevent the equipment from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum
recommended ambient temperature of 131°F (55°C). To prevent airflow restriction, allow at least 3
inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings.
The ONS 15454 is easily mounted in a 19- or 23-inch equipment rack. The shelf assembly projects five
inches from the front of the rack. It mounts in both EIA-standard and Telcordia-standard racks. The shelf
assembly is a total of 17 inches wide with no mounting ears attached. With the mounting ears attached,
the shelf assembly is 19 inches wide. Ring runs are not provided by Cisco and may hinder side-by-side
installation of shelves where space is limited.
The ONS 15454 measures 18.5 inches high, 19 or 23 inches wide (depending on which way the mounting
ears are attached), and 12 inches deep (47 by 48.3 by 30.5 cm). You can install up to four ONS 15454s
in a seven-foot equipment rack. The ONS 15454 must have 1 inch of airspace below the installed
shelf assembly to allow air flow to the fan intake. If a second ONS 15454 is installed underneath
the shelf assembly, the air ramp on top of the lower shelf assembly provides the air spacing needed
and should not be modified in any way. Figure 1-1 shows the dimensions of the ONS 15454.
Note
The 10 Gbps compatible shelf assembly (15454-SA-10G) and fan-tray assembly (15454-FTA3) are
required with the ONS 15454 XC10G, OC-192, and OC-48 any slot (AS) cards.
Warning
The ONS 15454 should be installed in the lower rack position or mounted above another ONS
15454 shelf assembly.
Warning
The ONS 15454 must have 1 inch of airspace below the installed shelf assembly to allow air flow
to the fan intake. The air ramp (the angled piece of sheet metal on top of the shelf assembly)
provides this spacing and should not be modified in any way.

Two people should install the shelf assembly; however, one person can install it using the temporary set
screws included. The shelf assembly should be empty for easier lifting. The front door can also be
removed to lighten the shelf assembly (see the “Remove the Front Door” procedure on page 1-13).
Note
If you are installing the fan-tray air filter using the brackets provided, mount the brackets on the
bottom of the shelf assembly before installing the ONS 15454 in a rack.
Procedure: Mount the Shelf Assembly in a Rack (One Person)
Step 1
Ensure that the shelf assembly is set for the desired rack size (either 19 or 23 inches).
Step 2
Using the hex tool that shipped with the assembly, install the set screws into the screw holes that will
not be used to mount the shelf.
Step 3
Lift the shelf assembly to the desired rack position and set it on the set screws.
Step 4
Align the screw holes on the mounting ears with the mounting holes in the rack.
Step 5
Install one mounting screw in each side of the assembly.
Step 6
When the shelf assembly is secured to the rack, install the remaining mounting screws.
Note
Step 7
Use at least one set of the horizontal screw slots on the ONS 15454 to prevent future slippage.

Step 5
When the shelf assembly is secured to the rack, install the remaining mounting screws.
Note
Use at least one set of the horizontal screw slots on the ONS 15454 to prevent future slippage.
1.3.3 Mounting Multiple Nodes
Most standard seven-foot racks can hold four ONS 15454s and a fuse and alarm panel. However, unequal
flange racks are limited to three ONS 15454s and a fuse and alarm panel or four ONS 15454s and a fuse
and alarm panel from an adjacent rack.
If you are using the bottom brackets to install the fan-tray air filter, you can install three shelf assemblies
in a standard seven-foot rack. If you are not using the bottom brackets, you can install four shelf
assemblies in a rack. The advantage to using the bottom brackets is that you can replace the filter without
removing the fan tray.
Procedure: Mount Multiple Shelf Assemblies in a Rack
Note
The ONS 15454 must have one inch of airspace below the installed shelf assembly to allow air flow
to the fan intake. If a second ONS 15454 is installed underneath a shelf assembly, the air ramp on top
of the bottom shelf assembly provides the desired space. However, if the ONS 15454 is installed
above third-party equipment, you must provide a minimum spacing of one inch between the
third-party shelf assembly and the bottom of the ONS 15454. The third-party equipment must not
vent heat upward into the ONS 15454.
Step 1
Install the fuse and alarm panel in the top space.
Step 2
Mount the first ONS 15454 directly below the fuse and alarm panel.
Step 3
Repeat the procedure with the third and fourth ONS 15454s.
1.3.3.1 Four Node Configuration
You can link multiple ONS 15454s using their OC-N cards (i.e., create a fiber-optic bus) to accommodate
more access traffic than a single ONS 15454 can support. For example, if you need to drop more than
112 DS-1s or 96 DS-3s (the maximum that can be aggregated in a single node), you can link the nodes
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide
November 2001
1-9
Chapter 1
Hardware Installation
Rack Installation
but not merge multiple nodes into a single ONS 15454. You can link nodes with OC-12 or OC-48 fiber
spans as you would link any other two network nodes. The nodes can be co-located in a facility to
aggregate more local traffic.
Figure 1-4 shows a four-shelf node setup. Each shelf assembly is reorganized as a separate node in the
ONS 15454’s software interface (Cisco Transport Controller [CTC]), and traffic is mapped using CTC
cross-connect options. In the figure, each node uses redundant fiber-optic cards. Node 1 uses redundant
OC-N transport and OC-N bus (connecting) cards for a total of four cards, with eight free slots
remaining. Nodes 2 and 3 each use two redundant OC-N bus cards for a total of four cards, with eight
free slots remaining. Node 4 uses redundant OC-12 bus cards for a total of two cards, with ten free slots
remaining. The four node example presented here is one of many ways to set up a multiple-node
configuration. See “Chapter 5, “SONET Topologies”” for more information about multiple-node
configurations.

1.3.3.2 ONS 15454 Bay Assembly
The Cisco ONS 15454 Bay Assembly simplifies ordering and installing the ONS 15454 because it allows
you to order shelf assemblies pre-installed in a seven-foot rack. The Bay Assembly is available in a
three- or four-shelf configuration. The three-shelf configuration includes three ONS 15454 shelf
assemblies, a pre-wired fuse and alarm panel, and two cable-management trays. Optional fiber channels
can be ordered. The four-shelf configuration includes four ONS 15454 shelf assemblies and a pre-wired
fuse and alarm panel. Optional fiber channels can be ordered. A four shelf ONS 15454 Bay Assembly is
shown in Figure 1-5.

1.4 Front Door Access
The Critical, Major, and Minor alarm LEDs visible through the front door indicate whether a Critical,
Major, or Minor alarm is present anywhere on the ONS 15454. These LEDs must be visible so
technicians can quickly determine if any alarms are present. You can use the LCD to further isolate
alarms. See Chapter 10, “Alarm Monitoring and Management” for more information.
This section tells you how to access ONS 15454 equipment in the front compartment. The ONS 15454
features a locked door to the front compartment. A pinned Allen key that unlocks the front door ships
with the ONS 15454. A button on the right side of the shelf assembly releases the door. The front door
provides access to the shelf assembly, cable-management tray, fan-tray assembly, and LCD screen
(Figure 1-8).
You can remove the front door of the ONS 15454 to provide unrestricted access to the front of the shelf
assembly. An erasable label (Figure 1-6) is pasted on the inside of the front door. You can use the label
to record slot assignments, port assignments, card types, node ID, rack ID, and serial number for the
ONS 15454.

1.5.2 Alarm Interface Panel
The AIP is located above the alarm pin field on the lower section of the backplane. The AIP provides
surge protection for the ONS 15454. It also provides an interface from the backplane to the fan-tray
assembly and LCD. The AIP plugs into the backplane using a 96-pin DIN connector and is held in place
with two retaining screws. The panel has a non-volatile memory chip that stores the unique node address
(MAC address).
Note
The 5-amp AIP card (73-7665-XX) is required when installing the new fan-tray assembly
(15454-FTA3). See the “Install the Fan-Tray Assembly” procedure on page 1-27.
The MAC address identifies the nodes that support circuits. It allows CTC to determine circuit sources,
destinations, and spans. The Timing Communication and Control+ (TCC+) cards in the ONS 15454 also
read the MAC address to store the node database. If the AIP fails, a MAC Fail alarm displays on the CTC
Alarms menu and/or the LCD display on the fan tray will go blank.
Note
A blown fuse on the AIP board can cause the LCD display to go blank.

1.6 EIA Installation
Optional EIA backplane covers are typically pre-installed when ordered with the ONS 15454. EIAs must
be ordered when using DS-1, DS-3, DS3XM-6, or EC-1 cards. A minimum amount of assembly may be
required when EIAs are ordered separately from the ONS 15454. Four different EIA backplane covers
are available for the ONS 15454: BNC, High-Density BNC, SMB, and AMP Champ. This section
describes each EIA in detail.
EIAs are attached to the shelf assembly backplane to provide coaxial cable connections. EIAs are
available with SMB and BNC connectors for DS-3 or EC-1 cards. EIAs are available with AMP Champ
connectors for DS-1 cards. You must use SMB EIAs for DS-1 twisted-pair cable installation. You can
install EIAs on one or both sides of the ONS 15454 backplane in any combination (in other words, AMP
Champ on Side A and BNC on Side B or High-Density BNC on side A and SMB on side B, and so forth).
If you are installing EIAs after the shelf assembly is installed, plug the EIA into the backplane. The EIA
has six electrical connectors that plug into six corresponding backplane connectors. The EIA backplane
must replace the standard sheet metal cover to provide access to the coaxial cable connectors. The EIA
sheet metal covers use the same screw holes as the solid backplane panels, but they have 12 additional
6-32 x 1/2 inch phillips screw holes so you can screw down the cover and the board using standoffs on
the EIA board. This section describes each EIA and provides installation procedures.
For EIA replacement procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Guide. For information about attaching ferrites to EIA connectors, see the “Ferrite Installation” section
on page 1-61.
1.6.1 BNC EIA
The ONS 15454 BNC EIA supports 24 DS-3 circuits on each side of the ONS 15454 (24 transmit and
24 receive connectors). If you install BNC EIAs on both sides of the shelf assembly, the ONS 15454
hosts up to 48 circuits. The BNC connectors on the EIA supports Trompeter UCBJ224 (75 Ohm) 4 leg
connectors (King or ITT are also compatible). You can use BNC EIAs for DS-3 (including the
DS3XM-6) or EC-1 cards. Figure 1-39 shows the ONS 15454 with pre-installed BNC EIAs.
To install coaxial cable with BNC connectors, see the “BNC Connector Installation” section on
page 1-36.

The EIA side marked “A” has 24 pairs of BNC connectors. The first 12 pairs of BNC connectors
correspond to Ports 1 – 12 for a 12-port card and map to Slot 2 on the shelf assembly. The BNC connector
pairs are marked “Tx” and “Rx” to indicate transmit and receive cables for each port. You can install an
additional card in Slot 1 as a protect card for the card in Slot 2. The second 12 BNC connector pairs
correspond to Ports 1 – 12 for a 12-port card and map to Slot 4 on the shelf assembly. You can install an
additional card in Slot 3 as a protect card for the card in Slot 4. Slots 5 and 6 do not support DS-3 cards
when BNC connectors are used.
The EIA side marked “B” provides an additional 24 pairs of BNC connectors. The first 12 BNC
connector pairs correspond to Ports 1 – 12 for a 12-port card and map to Slot 14 on the shelf assembly.
The BNC connector pairs are marked “Tx” and “Rx” to indicate transmit and receive cables for each
port. You can install an additional card in Slot 15 as a protect card for the card in Slot 14. The second
12 BNC connector pairs correspond to Ports 1 – 12 for a 12-port card and map to Slot 16 on the shelf
assembly. You can install an additional card in Slot 17 as a protect card for the card in Slot 16. Slots 12
and 13 do not support DS-3 cards when BNC connectors are used.
When BNC connectors are used with a DS3N-12 card in Slot 3 or 15, the 1:N card protection extends
only to the two slots adjacent to the 1:N card due to BNC wiring constraints.
1.6.2 High-Density BNC EIA
The ONS 15454 High-Density BNC EIA supports 48 DS-3 circuits on each side of the ONS 15454 (48
transmit and 48 receive connectors). If you install BNC EIAs on both sides of the unit, the ONS 15454
hosts up to 96 circuits. The High-Density BNC EIA supports Trompeter UCBJ224 (75 Ohm) 4 leg
connectors (King or ITT are also compatible). You can use High-Density BNC EIAs for DS-3 (including
the DS3XM-6) or EC-1 cards. Figure 1-13 shows the ONS 15454 with pre-installed High-Density BNC
EIAs.

Fan-Tray Assembly Installation
1.7 Fan-Tray Assembly Installation
The fan-tray assembly is located at the bottom of the ONS 15454 front compartment. The fan tray is a
removable drawer that holds fans and fan-control circuitry for the ONS 15454. The front door can be
left in place when removing or installing the fan tray but removal is recommended. After you install the
fan tray, you should only need to access it if a fan failure occurs or you need to replace or clean the
fan-tray air filter.
The front of the fan-tray assembly has an LCD screen that provides slot and port-level information for
all ONS 15454 card slots, including the number of Critical, Major, and Minor alarms.
The fan-tray assembly features an air filter at the bottom of the tray that you can install and remove by
hand. Remove and visually inspect this filter every 30 days and keep spare filters in stock. See the Cisco
ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide for information about cleaning and maintaining the
fan-tray air filter.
Note
The 10-Gbps compatible shelf assembly (15454-SA-ANSI, P/N: 800-19857) and fan-tray assembly
(15454-FTA3) are required with the ONS 15454 XC10G, OC-192, and OC-48 any slot (AS) cards.
Caution
Do not operate an ONS 15454 without a fan-tray filter. A fan-tray filter is mandatory.
Caution
The 15454-FTA3 fan-tray assembly can only be installed in ONS 15454 Release 3.1 shelf assemblies
(15454-SA-ANSI, 800-19857). It includes a pin that does not allow it to be installed in ONS 15454
shelf assemblies released before ONS 15454 Release 3.1 (15454-SA-NEBS3E, 15454-SA-NEBS3,
and 15454-SA-R1, P/N 800-0714915454). Installing the 15454-FTA3 in a non-compliant shelf
assembly may result in failure of the alarm interface panel (AIP), which in turn, will result in power
loss to the fan-tray assembly.
Note
The ONS 15454 Release 3.1 fan-tray assembly (15454-FTA3) is not I-temp. To obtain an I-temp fan
tray, install the 15454-FTA2 fan-tray assembly in an ONS 15454 Release 3.1 shelf assembly (P/N:
800-19857). However, do not install the ONS 15454 Release 3.1 XC10G, OC-192, and OC-48 any
slot (AS) cards in the shelf assembly with the 15454-FTA2 fan-tray assembly.
If one or more fans fail on the fan-tray assembly, replace the entire assembly. You cannot replace
individual fans. The red Fan Fail LED on the front of the fan tray illuminates when one or more fans fail.
For fan tray replacement instructions, see the “Install the Fan-Tray Assembly” procedure on page 1-27.
The red Fan Fail LED clears after you install a working fan tray.
Fan speed is controlled by TCC+ card temperature sensors. The sensors measure the input air
temperature at the fan-tray assembly. Fan speed options are low, medium, and high. If the TCC+ card
fails, the fans automatically shift to high speed. The temperature measured by the TCC+ sensors is
displayed on the LCD screen.

Chapter 1
Hardware Installation
Fan-Tray Assembly Installation
Procedure: Install the Bottom Brackets and Air Filter
The shelf assembly ships with bottom brackets that you should use to install the air filter. The bottom
brackets consist of two grooved metal pieces that attach to the bottom of the shelf assembly using three
screws each. When you use the bottom bracket to install the fan-tray air filter, you do not need to remove
the fan-tray assembly to access the air filter. Attach the brackets to the bottom of the shelf assembly
before installing the rack.
Although the filter will work if it is installed with either side facing up, Cisco recommends that you
install it with the metal bracing facing up to preserve the surface of the filter.
Note
If you choose not to install the bottom brackets, install the air filter by sliding it into the compartment
at the bottom of the shelf assembly. Each time you remove and reinstall the air filter in the future,
you must first remove the fan-tray assembly.
Step 1
With the fan-tray assembly removed, place the ONS 15454 face down on a flat surface.
Step 2
Locate the three screw holes that run along the left and right sides of the bottom of the shelf assembly.
Step 3
Secure each bracket to the bottom of the shelf assembly using the screws provided.
Each bracket has a filter stopper and a flange on one end. Make sure to attach the brackets with the
stoppers and flanges facing the rear of the shelf assembly (the top, if the ONS 15454 is face-down during
installation).
Figure 1-20 illustrates bottom bracket installation. If you do not use the bottom brackets, in the future
you must remove the fan-tray assembly before removing the air filter. The bottom brackets enable you
to clean and replace the air filter without removing the fan-tray assembly.

Chapter 1
Hardware Installation
Power and Ground Installation
Warning
Connect the ONS 15454 only to a DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) requirements in IEC 60950-based safety standards.
Warning
The ONS 15454 relies on the protective devices in the building installation to protect against short
circuit, overcurrent, and grounding faults. Ensure that the protective devices are properly rated to
protect the system, and that they comply with national and local codes.
Warning
A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Cisco recommends the following wiring conventions, but customer conventions prevail:
•
Red wire for battery connections (-48V DC)
•
Black wire for battery return connections (0V DC)
The ONS 15454 has redundant -48V DC #8 power terminals on the shelf assembly backplane. The
terminals are labeled BAT1, RET1, BAT2, and RET2 and are located on the lower section of the
backplane behind a clear plastic cover. See the “Lower Backplane Cover” section on page 1-15 for
information about accessing the power terminals.
To install redundant power feeds, use four power cables and one ground cable. For a single power feed,
only two power cables (#10 AWG, copper conductor, 194°F [90°C]) and one ground cable (#6 AWG)
are required. Use a conductor with low impedance to ensure circuit overcurrent protection. However, the
conductor must have the capability to safely conduct any fault current that might be imposed.
The existing ground post is a #10-32 bolt. The nut provided for a field connection is also a #10, with an
integral lock washer. The lug must be a dual-hole type and rated to accept the #6 AWG cable. Two posts
are provided on the Cisco ONS 15454 to accommodate the dual-hole lug. Figure 1-22 shows the location
of the ground posts.
FRAME GROUND

For information about attaching ferrites to power cabling, see the “Ferrite Installation” section on
page 1-61.
Warning
When installing redundant power feeds, do not use aluminum conductors.
Warning
If you use redundant power leads to power the ONS 15454, disconnecting one lead will not remove
power from the node.
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide
November 2001
1-29
Chapter 1
Hardware Installation
Power and Ground Installation
Procedure: Install Redundant Power Feeds
Ground only one cable to ground the shelf assembly. Terminate the other end of the ground cable to
ground according to local site practice. The ONS 15454 backplane also has a ground terminal on the
right side of the backplane. Connect a ground terminal for the frame ground (FGND) terminal according
to local site practice.
If the system loses power or both TCC+ cards are reset, you must reset the ONS 15454 clock. After
powering down, the date defaults to January 1, 1970, 00:04:15. To reset the clock, see the “Setting Up
Basic Node Information” section on page 3-2.
Note
Warning
If you encounter problems with the power supply, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and
Maintenance Guide for possible causes.
Do not apply power to the ONS 15454 until you complete all installation steps and check the
continuity of the -48V DC and return.
Step 1
Measure and cut the cables as needed to reach the ONS 15454 from the fuse panel. Figure 1-23 shows
the ONS 15454 power terminals.
Step 2
Dress the power and ground cables according to local site practice.
Warning
When installing the ONS 15454, the ground connection must always be made first and
disconnected last.

Step 3
Remove or loosen the #8 power terminal screws on the ONS 15454. To avoid confusion, label the cables
connected to the BAT1/RET1 power terminals as 1, and the cables connected to the BAT2/RET2 power
terminals as 2.
Note
Step 4
Caution
Before you make any crimp connections, coat all bare conductors (battery, battery return, and
frame ground) with an appropriate antioxidant compound. Bring all unplated connectors,
braided strap, and bus bars to a bright finish, then coat with an antioxidant before you connect
them. You do not need to prepare tinned, solder plated, or silver-plated connectors and other
plated connection surfaces, but always keep them clean and free of contaminants.
Caution
When terminating power, return, and frame ground, do not use soldering lug, screwless
(push-in) connectors, quick-connect, or other friction-fit connectors.
Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from all power cables that you will use. Crimp the lugs onto the ends of all
power leads.
Note
Step 5
Use only pressure terminal connectors, such as ring and fork types, when terminating the
battery, battery return, and frame ground conductors.
When terminating battery and battery return connections as shown in Figure 1-23, follow a
torque specification of 10 in-lbs. When terminating a frame ground, use the kep-nut provided
with the ONS 15454 and tighten it to a torque specification of 31 in-lbs. The kep-nut provides
a frame ground connection that minimizes the possibility of loosening caused by rotation
during installation and maintenance activity. This type of prevention is inherently provided
by the terminal block for battery and battery return connections.
Terminate the return 1 lead to the RET1 backplane terminal. Use oxidation-prevention grease to keep
connections non-corrosive.
Warning
Do not secure multiple connectors with the same bolt assembly.
Step 6
Terminate the negative 1 lead to the negative BAT1 backplane power terminal. Use oxidation prevention
grease to keep connections non-corrosive.
Step 7
If you use redundant power leads, terminate the return 2 lead to the positive RET2 terminal on the ONS
15454. Terminate the negative 2 lead to the negative BAT2 terminal on the ONS 15454. Use
oxidation-preventative grease to keep connections non-corrosive.
Route the cables out below the power terminals using the plastic cable clamp.

Note
The X.25, Modem, and TBOS pin fields are not active.
1.9.1 Alarm Installation
The alarm pin field supports up to 17 alarm contacts, including four audible alarms, four visual alarms,
one alarm cutoff (ACO), and four user-definable alarm input and output contacts.
Audible alarm contacts are in the LOCAL ALARM AUD pin field and visual contacts are in the LOCAL
ALARM VIS pin field. Both of these alarms are in the LOCAL ALARMS category. User-definable
contacts are in the ENVIR ALARM IN and ENVIR ALARM OUT pin fields. These alarms are in the
ENVIR ALARMS category; you must have the AIC card installed to use the ENVIR ALARMS. Alarm
contacts are Normally Open (N/O), meaning that the system closes the alarm contacts when the
corresponding alarm conditions are present. Each alarm contact consists of two wire-wrap pins on the
shelf assembly backplane. Visual and audible alarm contacts are classified as Critical, Major, Minor, and
Remote. Figure 1-24 shows alarm pin assignments.
Visual and audible alarms are typically wired to trigger an alarm light at a central alarm collection point
when the corresponding contacts are closed. You can use the Alarm Cutoff pins to activate a remote ACO
for audible alarms. You can also activate the ACO function by pressing the ACO button on the TCC+
card faceplate. The ACO function clears all audible alarm indications. After clearing the audible alarm
indication, the alarm is still present and viewable in the Alarms tab in CTC.
Procedure: Install Alarm Wires on the Backplane
Step 1
Use #22 or #24 AWG alarm wires.
Step 2
Wrap the alarm wires on the appropriate wire-wrap pins according to local site practice.
Note
For information about attaching ferrites to wire-wrap pin fields, see the “Ferrite Installation”
section on page 1-61.
1.9.2 Timing Installation
The ONS 15454 backplane supports two Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) clock pin fields. The
first four BITS pins, rows 3 and 4, support output and input from the first external timing device. The

1.10 Coaxial Cable Installation
Caution
Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the
wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.
When using ONS 15454 DS-3 electrical cables, the cables must terminate on an EIA installed on the
ONS 15454 backplane. EIAs are available with SMB and BNC connectors. All DS-3 cables connected
to the ONS 15454 DS-3 card must terminate with coaxial cables using the desired connector type to
connect to the specified EIA. For information about physically installing an EIA in the field, see the
“Install a BNC, High-Density BNC, or SMB EIA” procedure on page 1-22. For information about
coaxial cable management, see the “Coaxial Cable Management” section on page 1-57.
The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance of the system depends on good-quality DS-3
coaxial cables, such as Shuner Type G 03233 D, or the equivalent.
1.10.1 BNC Connector Installation
For a description of BNC EIAs, see the “BNC EIA” section on page 1-17. The BNC connectors on the
EIA supports Trompeter UCBJ224 (75 Ohm) 4 leg connectors. Right-angle mating connectors for the
connecting cable are AMP 413588-2 (75 Ohm) connectors. If preferred, you can also use a straight
connector of the same type. Use RG-59/U cable to connect to the ONS 15454 BNC EIA. These cables
are recommended to connect to a patch panel and are designed for long runs of up to 450 feet.
Procedure: Install Coaxial Cable With BNC Connectors
Step 1
Place the BNC cable connector over the desired connection point on the backplane.
Figure 1-25 shows how to connect a coaxial cable to the BNC EIA using a right-angle BNC cable
connector.
Step 2
Position the cable connector so that the slot in the connector is over the corresponding notch at the
backplane connection point.

Step 3
Gently push the connector down until the notch backplane connector slides into the slot on the cable
connector.
Step 4
Turn the cable connector until the notch clicks into place.
Step 5
Tie wrap or lace the cables to the EIA according to Telcordia standards (GR-1275-CORE) or local site
practice.
Step 6
Route the cables to the nearest side of the shelf assembly through the side cutouts according to local site
practice. The rubber coated edges of the side cutouts prevent the cables from chafing.
32075
Figure 1-25 Using a right-angle connector to install coaxial cable with BNC connectors
Note
Step 7
Slots 1, 3, 15 and 17 are designated protection slots when BNC connectors are used. Slots 5,
6, 11, and 12 do not support DS3-12 cards when BNC connectors are used. A total of four
DS3-12 cards can be used to carry traffic with BNC connectors.
Label all cables at each end of the connection to avoid confusion with cables that are similar in
appearance.
1.10.2 High-Density BNC Connector Installation
The High-Density BNC EIA supports Trompeter UCBJ224 (75 Ohm) 4 leg connectors. Use straight
connectors on RG-59/U cable to connect to the High-Density BNC EIA. Cisco recommends these cables
for connection to a patch panel; they are designed for long runs of up to 450 feet. For more detail, see
the “High-Density BNC EIA” section on page 1-18.
Although not required, Cisco strongly recommends using the BNC insertion tool to connect cables to the
EIA. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide for more information about
the insertion tool.

Chapter 1
Hardware Installation
DS-1 Cable Installation
Caution
Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the
wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.
If you use DS-1 electrical twisted-pair cables, equip the ONS 15454 with an SMB EIA on each side of
the backplane where DS-1 cables will terminate. You must install special DS-1 electrical interface
adapters, commonly referred to as a balun, on every transmit and receive connector for each DS-1
termination.
Note
DS-1 electrical interface adapters project an additional 1.72 inches from the ONS 15454 backplane.
If you install DS-1 cards in the ONS 15454, you must fit the corresponding transmit and receive SMB
connectors on the EIA with a DS-1 electrical interface adapter. You can install the adapter on the SMB
connector for the port. The adaptor has wire-wrap posts for DS-1 transmit and receive cables.
Figure 1-27 shows the DS-1 electrical interface adapter.

SMB Connector
Each DS-1 electrical interface adapter has a female SMB connector on one end and a pair of .045 inch
square wire-wrap posts on the other end. The wire-wrap posts are .200 inches apart.
Procedure: Install DS-1 Cables Using Electrical Interface Adapters (Balun)
All DS-1 cables connected to the ONS 15454 DS-1 ports must terminate with twisted-pair cables to
connect to the DS-1 electrical interface adapter. The DS-1 electrical interface adapters project 1.72
inches beyond the SMB EIA.
Step 1
Attach the SMB connector on the adapter to the SMB connector for the port’s transmit pair on the
backplane.
Step 2
Attach the SMB connector on an adapter to the SMB connector for the port’s receive pair on the
backplane.
Step 3
Terminate the DS-1 transmit and receive cables for the port to the wire-wrap posts on the adapter:
a.
Using a wire-wrap tool, connect the receive cables to the receive adapter pins on the backplane
connector for the desired port.
b.
Connect the transmit cables to the transmit adapter pins on the backplane connector for the desired
port.

1.11.2 AMP Champ Connector Installation
To install AMP Champ connector DS-1 cables, you must use 64-pin bundled cable connectors with a
64-pin male AMP Champ connector. You need an AMP Champ connector #552276-1 for the receptacle
side and #1-552496-1 (for cable diameter .475in.–.540in) or #2-552496-1 (for cable diameter
.540in.–.605in.) for the right-angle shell housing (or their functional equivalent). The corresponding
64-pin female AMP Champ connector on the AMP Champ EIA supports one receive and one transmit
for each DS-1 port for the corresponding card slot.
Because each DS1-14 card supports 14 DS-1 ports, only 56 pins (28 pairs) of the 64-pin connector are
used. Prepare one 56-wire cable for each DS-1 facility installed. Table 1-5 shows the pin assignments
for the AMP Champ connectors on the ONS 15454 AMP Champ EIA. See the “AMP Champ EIA”
section on page 1-20 for more information about the AMP Champ EIA.

The female connector has grooves on the outside edge for snapping the clips into place.
Note
To install optical cable, you must first install optical cards.
1.12 Card Installation
This section describes the how to install ONS 15454 cards. The procedure for installing ONS 15454
cards is nearly identical for each card. AIC card installation is slightly different from all other cards and
is described in its own procedure. The XC/XCVT /XC10G and TCC+ installation procedures are
virtually identical and are described in one procedure. Installation for all other cards is the same and is
covered by one procedure.
The order in which you install cards is important. The proper sequence follows:
1.
TCC+ cards
2.
XC/XCVT/XC10G cards
3.
Optical cards
4.
Electrical cards
5.
Ethernet cards
6.
AIC card
Note
Because all other cards boot from the active TCC+ card which houses the ONS 15454 software, you
must install the TCC+ card before booting any other cards. See Chapter 2, “Software Installation”
for information about the TCC+ card and software versions.
Note
Before installing cards, verify that the power is turned on.
ONS 15454 cards have electrical plugs at the back that plug into electrical connectors on the shelf
assembly backplane. When the ejectors are fully closed, the card plugs into the assembly backplane.
Figure 1-29 shows card installation.
Warning
Caution
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not
directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the
wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.

* When used as a protect card, the card does not have a physical external connection. The protect card connects to the working
card(s) through the backplane and becomes active when the working card fails. The protect card then uses the physical
connection of the failed card.
Procedure: Install the TCC+ and XC/XCVT/XC10G Cards
Although the installation procedure is the same for both TCC+ and XC/XCVT/XC10G cards, you must
install the TCC+ card and let it initialize before installing the XC/XCVT/XC10G cards. The TCC+ card
houses the ONS 15454 software. For a detailed explanation, see Chapter 2, “Software Installation.”
Note
This is not the procedure to use when upgrading from XC to XCVT cards or from XCVT to XC10G
cards. If you are performing an XC to XCVT upgrade, an XCVT to a XC10G upgrade, or a TCC to
TCC+ upgrade, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide.
Step 1
Open the card ejectors.
Step 2
Slide the card along the guide rails into the correct slot (Slot 8 or 10 for the XC/XCVT/XC10G and Slot
7 or 11 for the TCC+).
Step 3
Close the ejectors.
Step 4

Verify that the ACT/STBY LED is the correct color for the card (green for active, amber for standby).
The IP address for the node, the temperature of the ONS 15454, and the time of day will be displayed
on the LCD. The default time and date is 12:00 AM, January 1, 1970.
When a TCC+ card installed in the shelf assembly has a different version of the ONS 15454 software
installed than the version running on the active TCC+, the newly-installed TCC+ card automatically
loads the software version running on the active TCC+. You do not need to do anything in this
situation. However, the loading TCC+ card will not boot up in the normal manner. When the card is
first inserted, the red FAIL LED stays on for a short period. The FAIL LED then blinks normally and
all LEDs go dark. The FAIL LED and the ACT/STBY LED flash alternately every 30 to 45 seconds
as the new software loads onto the new TCC+ card. After loading the new software for approximately
30 minutes, the TCC+ card becomes the standby card and the amber LED is illuminated.
Procedure: Install Optical, Electrical, and Ethernet Cards
Although the installation procedure is the same for optical, electrical, and Ethernet cards, you must
install the optical cards before installing the electrical cards.
Warning
Step 1
Before installing an OC-192 card, make sure the safety key on the faceplate is in off position

1.12.2 Gigabit Interface Converter
GBICs are hot-swappable input/output devices that plug into a Gigabit Ethernet (E1000-2 or E1000-2-G)
card to link the card with the fiber-optic network. Cisco provides two GBIC models: one for short reach
applications (part number 15454-GBIC-SX) and one for long-reach applications (15454-GBIC-LX).
The short reach, or “SX” model, connects to multimode fiber and the long reach, or “LX” model,
requires single-mode fiber. Because the GBICs are very similar in appearance, check the label on the
GBIC carefully before installing it.
For a description of GBICs and their capabilities, see Chapter 9, “Ethernet Operation.”
Procedure: Install Gigabit Interface Converters
Step 1
Remove the GBIC from its protective packaging.
Step 2
Check the part number to verify that the GBIC is the correct type for your network.
Step 3
Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger and insert it into the slot on the front panel
of the Gigabit Ethernet card (shown in Figure 1-30).
GBICs are hot-swappable and can therefore be installed/removed while the card/shelf assembly is
powered and running.
Note
GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect installation.

Step 2
Release the GBIC from the slot by simultaneously squeezing the two plastic tabs (one on each side of
the GBIC).
Step 3
Slide the GBIC out of the Gigabit Ethernet module slot.
A flap closes over the GBIC slot to protect the connector on the Gigabit Ethernet card.
1.13 Fiber-Optic Cable Installation
This section explains how to install optical fibers on OC-N cards.
Caution
Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the
wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.
ONS OC-N cards feature SC connectors. To install fiber-optic cables in the ONS 15454, a fiber cable
with the corresponding connector type must be connected to the transmit and receive ports on the ONS
15454 cards. On ONS 15454 optical card ports, the top connector is transmit and the bottom connector
is receive. Cisco recommends that the transmit and receive and the working and protection fibers be
labeled at each end of the fiber span to avoid confusion with cables that are similar in appearance.
For information about fiber cable management, see the “Optical Cable Management” section on
page 1-55.
Warning
Class I (21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11) and Class 1M (IEC 60825-1 2001-01) laser products.
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector.
Do not stare into the beam or view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with
certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a
distance of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning
The laser is active when the card is booted and the safety key is in the on position (labeled 1). The
port does not have to be in service for the laser to be on. The laser is off when the safety key is off
(labeled 0).
Warning
Follow all directions and warning labels when working with optical fibers. To prevent eye
damage, never look directly into a fiber or connector.

Fiber-Optic Cable Installation
Caution
Do not user fiber loopbacks with the OC192 LR 1550 card unless you are using a 20 dB attentuator.
Never connect a direct fiber loopback. Using fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to the
OC-192 card.
Procedure: Install Fiber-Optic Cables on OC-N Cards
Note
Step 1
Clean all fiber connectors thoroughly. Dust particles can degrade performance. Put caps on
any fiber connectors that are not used.
Place the SC connector in front of the connection point on the card faceplate. Each card supports at least
one transmit and one receive connector to create an optical carrier port. Figure 1-31 shows the cable
location.

Step 2
Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the receiving slot on the faceplate connection point.
Step 3
Gently push the cable connector into the faceplate connection point until the connector snaps into place.
Procedure: Install the Fiber Boot
Cisco provides clear plastic fiber boots for the OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48 (except OC48 AS) cards. The
boots prevent hanging fibers from bending too sharply, which may degrade performance. The boots also
prevent the front door from interfering with hanging fibers. The fiber boots are not necessary for the
OC-192 and the OC-48 AS cards because of the angled SC connector. Figure 1-32 shows the fiber boot
attachment.
You can install the fiber boots on the fiber-optic cables before or after the fibers are attached to the optic
card.

1.14 Cable Routing and Management
The ONS 15454 cable management facilities include the following:
Note
•
Cable management clips on optical card faceplates
•
A cable-routing channel that runs the width of the shelf assembly
•
Plastic horseshoe-shaped fiber guides at each side opening of the cable-routing channel that ensure
the proper bend radius is maintained in the fibers
You can remove the fiber guide if necessary to create a larger opening (if you need to route Cat-5
Ethernet cables out the side, for example). To remove the fiber guide, take out the three screws that
anchor it to the side of the shelf assembly.
•
A fold-down door that provides access to the cable-management tray
•
Cable tie-wrap facilities on EIAs that secure cables to the cover panel
•
Reversible jumper routing fins that enable you to route cables out either side by positioning the fins
as desired
•
Jumper slack storage reels (2) on each side panel that reduce the amount of slack in cables that are
connected to other devices

1.14.2 Coaxial Cable Management
Coaxial cables connect to EIAs on the ONS 15454 backplane using cable connectors. EIAs feature
cable-management eyelets for tie wrapping or lacing cables to the cover panel.
Procedure: Route the Coaxial Cables
Step 1
Tie wrap or lace the coaxial cables according to local site practice and route the cables through the side
cutouts on either side of the ONS 15454. The rubber coated edges of the side cutouts prevent the cables
from chafing.
Note
When using the RG179 cable with SMB connectors, remember that the maximum distance
available with the RG179 cable is less than the maximum distance available with standard
RG59 cable. If you only use the RG179, the maximum available distance is 50 feet versus
the 450 feet available with the larger RG59 cable.
Step 2
Use short lengths of “pigtail” RG179 to terminate the shelf assembly.
Step 3
Use standard RG59 connected to the RG179 for the remainder of the cable run. When using a 10-foot
section of the RG179, you can attach a maximum length of 437 feet of RG59. When using a 30-foot
section of RG179, you can attach a maximum length of 311 feet of RG59.
The shorter maximum distance available with the RG179 is due to a higher attenuation rate for the
thinner cable. The attenuation rate for RG59 cable (based on testing with Belden 923, the equivalent of
328A cable) is ~1.0 dB/100 feet at 22 Mhz (DS-3 data rate). The attenuation rate of RG179 is
6.3 db/100 feet. Use a figure of 5.0 for total cable loss when making calculations. Figure 1-36 shows one
side of the ONS 15454 backplane with SMB EIAs and the coaxial cables properly routed.

Procedure: Route DS-1 Twisted-Pair Cables
When using DS-1 twisted-pair cables, the backplane cover has cutouts over the SMB cable connectors.
SMB EIAs feature cable-management eyelets for tie wrapping or lacing cables to the cover panel.
Step 1
Install DS-1 electrical interface adapters on every transmit and receive connector for DS-1 ports.
Step 2
Use wire-wrap posts on the DS-1 electrical interface adapters to connect the terminated incoming cables.
Step 3
Tie-wrap or lace the twisted-pair cables according to local site practice and route the cables into the side

for a 23-inch rack, two additional inches of cable management area is available on each side of the shelf
assembly. See the“AMP Champ EIA” section on page 1-20 and the “AMP Champ Connector
Installation” section on page 1-41 and the for more information.
1.14.5 BIC Rear Cover Installation
The ONS 15454 has an optional backplane interface connector (BIC) rear cover. This clear plastic cover
provides additional protection for the cables and connectors on the backplane (Figure 1-37). You can
also install the optional spacers if more space is needed between the cables and rear cover (Figure 1-38).

Figure 1-37 Clear BIC rear cover
Procedure: Install the BIC Rear Cover
Step 1
Locate the three screws that run vertically along the edges of the backplane.
Only one pair of screws lines up with the screw slots on the mounting brackets, making them easy to
locate.
Step 2
Loosen the top and bottom screws on one edge of the backplane to provide room to slide the mounting
brackets into place using the u-shaped screw slots on each end.
Step 3
Slide one of the mounting brackets into place and tighten the screws.
Step 4
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the second mounting bracket.
Step 5
Attach the cover by hanging it from the mounting screws on the back of the mounting brackets and
pulling it down until it fits snugly into place.

Ferrite Installation
1.15 Ferrite Installation
Place third-party ferrites on certain cables to dampen electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the ONS
15454. Ferrites must be added to meet the requirements of GR 1089. Refer to the ferrite manufacturer
documentation for proper use and installation of the ferrites. The following illustrations show possible
ferrite placements on the ONS 15454 for power cables, AMP Champ connectors, baluns, BNC/SMB
connectors, and the wire-wrap pin field.
Procedure: Attach Ferrites to Power Cabling
Use a single oval ferrite TDK ZCAT2035-0930 for both pairs of cables and a block ferrite Fair Rite
0443164151 for each pair of cables.
Step 1
Wrap the cables once around and through the block ferrites and pull the cable straight through the oval
ferrites.
Step 2
Place the oval ferrite between the ONS 15454 and the block ferrite as shown in Figure 1-40.
Step 3
Place the oval ferrite as close to the power terminals as possible and place the block ferrite within 5 to
6 inches of the power terminals.

Software Installation
Cisco Transport Controller (CTC), the Cisco ONS 15454’s software interface, is stored on the TCC+
card and download to your workstation each time you log into the ONS 15454. This chapter:
•
Describes how Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) software is installed on PCs and Solaris
workstations
•
Tells you how to connect PCs and Solaris workstations to the Cisco ONS 15454, including direct
connections, LAN connections, remote connections, and firewall-compliant connections
•
Describes the CTC graphic user interface, including the three main CTC views, network, node, and
card
•
Explains how to create domains to manage multiple nodes, change the network view background
color and image (map), and add a node to the network map
•
Describes the different ways you can invoke commands within CTC
•
Explains how to print and export CTC data
2.1 Installation Overview
ONS 15454 provisioning and administration is performed using the Cisco Transport Controller software.
CTC is a Java application that is installed in two locations:
•
ONS 15454 Timing Communications and Control card (TCC+)
•
PCs and Solaris workstations that connect to the ONS 15454
CTC software is pre-installed on the TCC+. The only time you install software on the TCC+ is when you
upgrade from one CTC release to another. To upgrade CTC on the TCC+, you must follow the upgrade
procedures specific to the software release. These procedures can be downloaded from the Cisco website
(www.cisco.com).
For PCs and Solaris workstations, CTC is downloaded from the TCC+ and installed on your computer
automatically after you connect to the ONS 15454. To connect to an ONS 15454, you enter the
ONS 15454 IP address in the URL field of a web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft®
Internet Explorer. After connecting to an ONS 15454, the following installation occurs automatically:
1.
A CTC launcher applet is downloaded from the TCC+ to your computer’s Temp directory. (If these
files are deleted, they are reinstalled the next time you connect to the ONS 15454.)
2.
The launcher determines whether your computer has a CTC release matching the release on the
ONS 15454 TCC+.
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide
November 2001
2-1
Chapter 2
Software Installation
Computer Requirements
3.
If the computer does not have CTC installed, or if the installed release is older than the TCC+
version, the launcher downloads the CTC program files from the TCC+.
4.
The launcher starts CTC. The CTC session is separate from the web browser session, so the web
browser is no longer needed. If you log into an ONS 15454 that is connected to ONS 15454s with
older versions of CTC, or to Cisco ONS 15327s, CTC “element” files are downloaded automatically
to enable you to interact with those nodes. You cannot interact with nodes on the network that have
a software version later than the node that you are logged into. Therefore, always log into nodes
having the latest software release.
Each ONS 15454 can handle up to four network-level CTC sessions (the login node and its
DCC-connected nodes) and one node-level session (login node only) at one time. CTC performance may
vary, depending upon the volume of activity in each session.
Note
You can also use TL1 commands to communicate with the Cisco ONS 15454 through VT100
terminals and VT100 emulation software, or you can Telnet to an ONS 15454 using TL1 port 3083.
See the Cisco ONS 15454 TL1 Command Guide for a comprehensive list of TL1 commands.
2.2 Computer Requirements
To use CTC in ONS 15454 Release 3.1, your computer must have a web browser with the correct Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. The correct JRE for each CTC software release is included on the
Cisco ONS 15454 ONS 15454 software CD. If you are running multiple CTC software releases on a
network, the JRE installed on the computer must be compatible with the different software releases.
Table 2-1 on page 2-2 shows JRE compatibility with ONS software releases.

2.4 Connecting PCs to the ONS 15454
You can connect a PC to the ONS 15454 using the RJ-45 LAN port on the TCC+ or the LAN 1 pins on
the ONS 15454 backplane. For a list of LAN pin assignments, see Table 1-2 on page 1-34. Each ONS
15454 must have a unique IP address that you use to access the ONS 15454. The address is displayed on
the front panel LCD. The initial IP address, 192.1.0.2, is the default address for ONS 15454 access and
configuration. Each computer used to communicate with the ONS 15454 should have only one IP
address.
Note
Do not use dual network interface cards (NIC) or an enabled NIC card and dial-up adapter at the same
time; this hampers communication between CTC and ONS 15454s.
2.4.1 Direct Connections to the ONS 15454
A direct PC to ONS 15454 connection means your computer is physically connected to the ONS 15454.
This is most commonly done by connecting a CAT-5 straight-through cable from your PC NIC card to
the RJ-45 port on the TCC+. However, direct connections include connections to switches or hubs to
which the ONS 15454 is physically connected. To connect to the ONS 15454 with a direction
connection, you must:
•
Set up Windows on your PC for direct connections
•
Attach cables from the PC to the ONS 15454
•
Test your connection
Procedure: Creating a Direct Connection to an ONS 15454
Step 1
Step 2
Attach a CAT-5 cable from the PC NIC card to one of the following:
•
RJ-45 jack on the ONS 15454 TCC+ card

“Creating Users and Setting Security” section on page 3-6.
Set the following login options, as needed:
•
Node Name—Displays the IP address entered in the web browser and a pull-down menu of
previously-entered ONS 15454 IP addresses. You can select any ONS 15454 (or ONS 15327) on the
list for the login, or you can enter the IP address (or node name) of any new node where you want
to log in.
•
Additional Nodes—Displays a list of login node groups that were created. Login node groups allow
you to display ONS 15454s and/or ONS 15327s that are not connected by the SONET Data
Communications Channel (DCC) to the ONS 15454 in the Node Name field. (For instructions, see
the “Creating Login Node Groups” section on page 2-10.)
Note
Topology hosts that were created in previous ONS 15454 releases by modifying the cms.ini
file are displayed as a “Topology Host” group under Additional Nodes.
•
Exclude Dynamically Discovered Nodes—Check this box to view only the ONS 15454 (and login
node group members, if any) entered in the Node Name field. Nodes linked to the Node Name ONS
15454 through the DCC are not displayed.
Click Login.
If login is successful, the CTC window displays. From here, you can navigate to other CTC views to
provision and manage the ONS 15454.
2.5.1 Creating Login Node Groups
When you log into an ONS 15454 node, only ONS 15454s optically connected (i.e., with DCC
connections) to the node will display in network view. However, you can create a login node group to
view and manage ONS 15454s that only have an IP connection. For example, logging into Node 1 in
Figure 2-2 displays Node 2 and Node 3 because they are optically connected to Node 1. Nodes 4, 5, and
6 do not display because DCC connections do not exist. To view all six nodes at once, you create a login
node group with the IP addresses of Nodes 1, 4, and 5. Those nodes, and all nodes optically connected
to them, display when you log into any node in the group.

2.5.2 Accessing ONS 15454s Behind Firewalls
If an ONS 15454 or CTC computer resides behind a firewall that uses port filtering, you must receive
an Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) port from your network administrator and enable the IIOP port
on the ONS 15454 and/or CTC computer, depending on whether one or both devices reside behind
firewalls.
If the ONS 15454 is in a protected network and the CTC computer is in an external network, as shown
in Figure 2-3, enable the IIOP listener port specified by the firewall administrator on the ONS 15454.
The ONS 15454 sends the port number to the CTC computer during the initial contact between the
devices using Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). After the CTC computer obtains the ONS 15454
IIOP port, the computer opens a direct session with the node using the specified IIOP port.

If the CTC computer and the ONS 15454 both reside behind firewalls (Figure 2-4), set the IIOP port on
the CTC computer and on the ONS 15454. Each firewall can use a different IIOP port. For example, if
the CTC computer firewall uses IIOP port 4000, and the ONS 15454 firewall uses IIOP port 5000, 4000
is the IIOP port set on the CTC computer and 5000 is the IIOP port set on the ONS 15454.

2.6.2.3 Creating Domains
Domains are icons where you can add a group of ONS 15454s or ONS 15327s. Adding domains to the
network view map makes networks with many nodes easier to manage. After you create a domain, you
can drag and drop ONS 15454 icons into it (Figure 2-7). The ONS 15454s are hidden until you open the
domain. Figure 2-9 shows an example of an opened domain.

Figure 2-7
After you add a node to a domain, the span lines leading to nodes within the domain become thicker
(Figure 2-8). The thick lines may represent multiple spans. For example, if the “rio-104” node in
Figure 2-8 is connected to two nodes within domain-0, the thick line represents two spans. The thick line
is green if all spans it represents are active and grey if any one span it represents is down. The domain
icon color reflects the highest alarm severity of any node within it.
Figure 2-8
Outside nodes displayed within the domain
Within the domain, external nodes and domains that are directly connected to nodes inside the domain
are displayed in a dimmed color (Figure 2-9). DCC links with one or two ends inside the domain are also
displayed.

Node Setup
This chapter explains how to set up a Cisco ONS 15454 node using the Cisco Transport Controller
(CTC). Topics include:
•
Setting up general node information
•
Preparing the ONS 15454 to connect to networks
•
Changing the node IP address, default router, and subnet mask using the LCD
•
Creating, editing, and deleting ONS 15454 users and assigning user security levels
•
Setting the node timing references
•
Creating card protection groups
•
Viewing node inventory
•
Viewing CTC software versions
Lastly, the chapter includes a node checklist to help you keep track of the procedures you have
performed. See Chapter 2, “Software Installation” for general CTC information.
3.1 Before You Begin
Before you begin node setup, review the following checklist to ensure you have the perquisite
information. Basic node information that you will provide need includes node name, contact, location,
date, and time. If the ONS 15454 will be connected to a network, you will need:
•
The IP address and subnet mask to assign to the node and
•
The IP address of the default router.
•
If Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used, you will need the IP address of the DHCP server.
If you are responsible for setting up IP networking for the ONS 15454 network, see Chapter 4, “IP
Networking” for more information.
To create card protection groups, you will need to know:
Note
•
The card protection scheme that will be used and what cards will be included in it.
•
The SONET protection topology that will be used for the node.
You must be able to log into the node to complete node provisioning. If you cannot log into the node,
see “Connecting PCs to the ONS 15454” section on page 2-5.

Chapter 3
Node Setup
Setting Up Basic Node Information
3.2 Setting Up Basic Node Information
Setting basic information for each Cisco ONS 15454 node is one of the first provisioning tasks you
perform. This information includes node name, location, contact, and timing. Completing the
information for each node facilitates ONS 15454 management, particularly when the node is connected
to a large ONS 15454 network.
Procedure: Add the Node Name, Contact, Location, Date, and Time
Step 1
Log into the ONS 15454 node. The CTC node view is displayed.
Step 2
Click the Provisioning > General tabs.
Step 3
Enter the following:
•
Node Name—Type a name for the node. For TL1 compliance, names must begin with an alpha
character and have no more than 20 alphanumeric characters.
•
Contact—Type the name of the node contact person and the phone number (optional).
•
Location—Type the node location (optional) (such as a city name or specific office location).
•
Latitude—Enter the node latitude: N (North) or S (South), degrees, and minutes.
•
Longitude—Enter the node longitude: E (East) or W (West), degrees, and minutes.
CTC uses the latitude and longitude to position node icons on the network view map. (You can also
position nodes manually.) To convert a coordinate in degrees to degrees and minutes, multiply the
number after the decimal by 60. For example, the latitude 38.250739 converts to 38 degrees, 15
minutes (.250739 x 60 = 15.0443, rounded to the nearest whole number).
Step 4
•
Use SNTP Server—When checked, CTC uses a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server to set
the date and time of the node. Using an SNTP server ensures that all ONS 15454 network nodes use
the same date and time reference. The server synchronizes the node’s time after power outages or
software upgrades. If you check Use SNTP Server, type the server’s IP address in the next field. If
you do not use an SNTP server, complete the Date, Time, and Time Zone fields. The ONS 15454 will
use these fields for alarm dates and times. (CTC displays all alarms in the login node’s time zone
for cross network consistency.)
•
Date—Type the current date.
•
Time—Type the current time.
•
Time Zone—Select the time zone.
Click Apply.
3.3 Setting Up Network Information
ONS 15454s almost always operate in network environments. Before you connect an ONS 15454 to
other ONS 15454s or to a LAN, you must change the default IP address that is shipped with each ONS
15454 (192.1.0.2). IP addresses are unique identifiers for devices—called hosts—that connect to TCP/IP
networks. Every IP address includes a network number, which is assigned to an organization, and a host
(device) number, which the organization’s LAN administrator assigns to an individual network device.
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide

November 2001
Chapter 3
Node Setup
Setting Up Network Information
Subnetting enables LAN administrators to create subnetworks that are transparent to the Internet. Within
networks, ONS 15454s often exist as subnetworks, which are created by adding a subnet mask to the
ONS 15454 IP address.
The following procedure tells you how to set up the essential ONS 15454 networking information.
Additional ONS 15454 networking information and procedures, including IP addressing examples, static
route scenarios and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol options are provided in Chapter 3, “IP
Networking.”
Procedure: Set Up Network Information
Step 1
From the CTC node view, click the Provisioning > Network tabs (Figure 3-1).
Step 2
Complete the following:
•
IP Address—Type the IP address assigned to the ONS 15454 node.
•
Prevent LCD IP Config—If checked, prevents the ONS 15454 IP address from being changed using
the LCD. See the “Change IP Address, Default Router, and Network Mask Using the LCD”
procedure on page 3-4.
•
Default Router—If the ONS 15454 must communicate with a device on a network to which the ONS
15454 is not connected, the ONS 15454 forwards the packets to the default router. Type the IP
address of the router in this field. If the ONS 15454 is not connected to a LAN, leave the field blank.
•
Subnet Mask Length—If the ONS 15454 is part of a subnet, type the subnet mask length (decimal
number representing the subnet mask length in bits) or click the arrows to adjust the subnet mask
length. The subnet mask length is the same for all ONS 15454s in the same subnet.
Note
The MAC Address is read only. It displays the ONS 15454 address as it is identified on the
IEEE 802 Media Access Control (MAC) layer.
•
Forward DHCP Request To—When checked, forwards Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
requests to the IP address entered in the Request To field. DHCP is a TCP/IP protocol that enables
CTC computers to get temporary IP addresses from a server. If you enable DHCP, CTC computers
that are directly connected to an ONS 15454 node can obtain temporary IP addresses from the DHCP
server.
•
TCC CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port—Sets a listener port to allow communication with the ONS 15454
through firewalls. See the “Accessing ONS 15454s Behind Firewalls” section on page 2-12 for more
information.

The CISCO15 user provided with each ONS 15454 can be used to set up other ONS 15454 users. You
can add up to 500 users to one ONS 15454. Each ONS 15454 user can be assigned one of the following
security levels:
•
Retrieve users can retrieve and view CTC information but cannot set or modify parameters.
•
Maintenance users can access only the ONS 15454 maintenance options.
•
Provisioning users can access provisioning and maintenance options.
•
Superusers can perform all of the functions of the other security levels as well as set names,
passwords, and security levels for other users.
Table 3-1 shows the actions that each user can perform in node view.

3.5 Creating Protection Groups
The ONS 15454 provides several card protection methods. When you set up protection for ONS 15454
cards, you must choose between maximum protection and maximum slot availability. The highest
protection reduces the number of available card slots; the highest slot availability reduces the protection.
Table 3-3 shows the protection types that can be set up for ONS 15454 cards.
Table 3-3
Protection Types
Type
Cards
Description
1:1
DS-1
Pairs one working card with one protect card. Install the protect card in
an odd-numbered slot and the working card in an even-numbered slot
next to the protect slot towards the center, for example: protect in Slot
1, working in Slot 2; protect in Slot 3, working in Slot 4; protect in Slot
15, working in Slot 14.
DS-3
EC-1-12
DS3XM-6
1:N
DS-1
DS-3
Assigns one protect card for several working cards. The maximum is
1:5. Protect cards (DS1N-14, DS3N-12) must be installed in Slots 3 or
15 and the cards they protect must be on the same side of the shelf.
Protect cards must match the cards they protect. For example, a
DS1N-14 can only protect DS1-14 or DS1N-14 cards. If a failure clears,
traffic reverts to the working card after the reversion time has elapsed.
1+1
Any optical Pairs a working optical port with a protect optical port. Protect ports
must match the working ports. For example, Port 1 of an OC-3 card can
only be protected by Port 1 of another OC-3 card. Cards do not need to
be in adjoining slots.
Unprotected
Any
Unprotected cards can cause signal loss if a card fails or incurs a signal
error. However, because no card slots are reserved for protection,
unprotected schemes maximize the service available for use on the ONS
15454. Unprotected is the default protection type.
Procedure: Create Protection Groups
Step 1
From the CTC node view, click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.
Step 2
Under Protection Groups, click Create.
Step 3
In the Create Protection Group dialog box, enter the following:
•
Name—Type a name for the protection group. The name can have up to 32 alpha-numeric characters.
•
Type—Choose the protection type: 1:1, 1:N, or 1+1. The protection selected determines the cards
that are available to serve as protect and working cards. For example, if you choose 1:N protection,
only DS-1N and DS-3N cards are displayed.
•
Protect Card or Port—Choose the protect card (if using 1:1 or 1:N) or protect port (if using 1+1)
from the list.

Protection” section on page 7-30.
Card protection does not take effect until you enable the ports on all the cards in the protection group.
Because ports must be enabled before the cards carry traffic, you can enable the ports immediately after
provisioning card protection, or wait until you are ready to send traffic on the cards.
Caution
Before running traffic on a card within a protection group, enable the ports of all protection group
cards.

3.6 Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing
SONET timing parameters must be set for each ONS 15454. Each ONS 15454 independently accepts its
timing reference from one of three sources:
•
The BITS (Building Integrated Timing Supply) pins on the ONS 15454 backplane
•
An OC-N card installed in the ONS 15454. The card is connected to a node that receives timing
through a BITS source.
•
The internal ST3 clock on the TCC+ card
You can set ONS 15454 timing to one of three modes: external, line, or mixed. If timing is coming from
the BITS pins, set ONS 15454 timing to external. If the timing comes from an OC-N card, set the timing
to line. In typical ONS 15454 networks:
•
One node is set to external. The external node derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the
BITS backplane pins. The BITS source, in turn, derives its timing from a Primary Reference Source
(PRS) such as a Stratum 1 clock or GPS signal.
•
The other nodes are set to line. The line nodes derive timing from the externally-timed node through
the OC-N trunk cards.
You can set three timing references for each ONS 15454. The first two references are typically two
BITS-level sources, or two line-level sources optically connected to a node with a BITS source. The third
reference is the internal clock provided on every ONS 15454 TCC+ card. This clock is a Stratum 3 (ST3).
If an ONS 15454 becomes isolated, timing is maintained at the ST3 level.
Caution
Mixed timing allows you to select both external and line timing sources. However, Cisco does not
recommend its use because it can create timing loops. Use this mode with caution.
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide

Chapter 3
Node Setup
Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing
3.6.1 Network Timing Example
Figure 3-8 shows an ONS 15454 network timing setup example. Node 1 is set to external timing. Two
timing references are set to BITS. These are Stratum 1 timing sources wired to the BITS input pins on
the Node 1 backplane. The third reference is set to internal clock. The BITS output pins on the backplane
of Node 3 are used to provide timing to outside equipment, such as a Digital Access Line Access
Multiplexer.
In the example, Slots 5 and 6 contain the trunk cards. Timing at Nodes 2, 3, and 4 is set to line, and the
timing references are set to the trunk cards based on distance from the BITS source. Reference 1 is set
to the trunk card closest to the BITS source. At Node 2, Reference 1is Slot 5 because it is connected to
Node 1. At Node 4, Reference 1 is set to Slot 6 because it is connected to Node 1. At Node 3, Reference
1 could be either trunk card because they are equal distance from Node 1.

3.6.2 Synchronization Status Messaging
Synchronization Status Messaging (SSM) is a SONET protocol that communicates information about
the quality of the timing source. SSM messages are carried on the S1 byte of the SONET Line layer.
They enable SONET devices to automatically select the highest quality timing reference and to avoid
timing loops.
SSM messages are either Generation 1 or Generation 2. Generation 1 is the first and most widely
deployed SSM message set. Generation 2 is a newer version. If you enable SSM for the ONS 15454,
consult your timing reference documentation to determine which message set to use. Table 3-4 and
Table 3-5 show the Generation 1 and Generation 2 message sets.

November 2001
Chapter 3
Node Setup
Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing
Step 3
•
Timing Mode—Set to External if the ONS 15454 derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the
backplane pins; set to Line if timing is derived from an OC-N card that is optically connected to the
timing node. A third option, Mixed, allows you to set external and line timing references. (Because
Mixed timing may cause timing loops, Cisco does not recommend its use. Use this mode with care.)
•
SSM Message Set—Choose the message set level supported by your network. If a Generation 1 node
receives a Generation 2 message, the message will be mapped down to the next available Generation
1. For example, an ST3E message becomes an ST3.
•
Quality of RES—If your timing source supports the reserved S1 byte, you set the timing quality here.
(Most timing sources do not use RES.) Qualities are displayed in descending quality order as ranges.
For example, ST3<RES<ST2 means the timing reference is higher than a Stratum 3 and lower than
a Stratum 2. See Table 3-4 and Table 3-5 for more information.
•
Revertive—If checked, the ONS 15454 reverts to a primary reference source after the conditions that
caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected.
•
Revertive Time—If Revertive is checked, indicate the amount of time the ONS 15454 will wait
before reverting back to its primary timing source.
In the BITS Facilities section, complete the following information:
Note
Step 4
The BITS Facilities section sets the parameters for your BITS1 and BITS2 timing references.
Many of these settings are determined by the timing source manufacturer. If equipment is
timed through BITS Out, you can set timing parameters to meet the requirements of the
equipment.
•
State—Set the BITS reference to IS (In Service) or OOS (Out of Service). For nodes set to Line
timing with no equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to OOS. For nodes using External
timing or Line timing with equipment timed through BITS Out, set State to IS.
•
Coding—Set to the coding used by your BITS reference, either B8ZS or AMI.
•
Framing—Set to the framing used by your BITS reference, either ESF (Extended Super Frame, or
SF (D4) (Super Frame). SSM is not available with Super Frame.
•
Sync Messaging—Check to enable SSM.
•
AIS Threshold—Sets the quality level where a node sends an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) from
the BITS 1 Out and BITS 2 Out backplane pins. When a node times at or below the AIS Threshold
quality, AIS is sent (used when SSM is disabled or frame is SF).
Under Reference Lists, complete the following information:
Note
Reference lists define up to three timing references for the node and up to six BITS Out
references. BITS Out references define the timing references used by equipment that can be
attached to the node’s BITS Out pins on the backplane. If you attach equipment to BITS Out
pins, you normally attach it to a node with Line mode because equipment near the External
timing reference can be directly wired to the reference.
•
NE Reference—Allows you to define three timing references (Ref 1, Ref 2, Ref3). The node uses
Reference 1 unless a failure occurs to that reference, in which case, the node uses Reference 2. If
that fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. This is the Stratum 3
clock provided on the TCC+. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting.
– Timing Mode set to External—options are BITS1, BITS2, and Internal Clock.
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide

Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing
– Timing Mode set to Line—options are the node’s working optical cards and Internal Clock.
Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS
source, that is, the node’s trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the
BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, select
Slot 5 as Reference 1.
– Timing Mode set to Mixed—both BITS and optical cards are available, allowing you to set a
mixture of external BITS and optical trunk cards as timing references.
•
BITS 1 Out/BITS 2 Out—Define the timing references for equipment wired to the BITS Out
backplane pins. Normally, BITS Out is used with Line nodes, so the options displayed are the
working optical cards. BITS 1 and BITS 2 Out are enabled as soon as BITS-1 and BITS-2 facilities
are placed in service.

CTC software is pre-loaded on the ONS 15454 TCC+ cards; therefore, you do not need to install
software on the TCC+. When a new CTC software version is released, you must follow procedures
provided by the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to upgrade the ONS 15454 software.
When you upgrade CTC software, the TCC+ stores the older CTC version as the protect CTC version,
and the newer CTC release becomes the working version. You can view the software versions that are
installed on an ONS 15454 by selecting the Maintenance tab followed by the Software subtab. Select
these tabs in node view to display the software installed on one node. Select the tabs in network view to
display the software versions installed on all the network nodes.

IP Networking
This chapter explains how to set up Cisco ONS 15454s in internet protocol (IP) networks and includes:
•
Scenarios showing Cisco ONS 15454s in common IP network configurations
•
Procedures for creating static routes
•
Procedures for using the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol
The chapter does not provide a comprehensive explanation of IP networking concepts and procedures.
Note
To set up ONS 15454s within an IP network, you must work with a LAN administrator or other
individual at your site who has IP networking training and experience. To learn more about IP
networking, many outside resources are available. IP Routing Fundamentals, by Mark Sportack
(Cisco Press, 1999), provides a comprehensive introduction to routing concepts and protocols in IP
networks.
4.1 IP Networking Overview
ONS 15454s can be connected in many different ways within an IP environment:
•
They can be connected to LANs through direct connections or a router.
•
IP Subnetting can create ONS 15454 node groups, which allow you to provision non-DCC
connected nodes in a network.
•
Different IP functions and protocols can be used to achieve specific network goals. For example,
Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) enables one LAN-connected ONS 15454 to serve as a
gateway for ONS 15454s that are not connected to the LAN.
•
You can create static routes to enable connections among multiple CTC sessions with ONS 15454s

4.2.1 Scenario 1: CTC and ONS 15454s on Same Subnet
Scenario 1 shows a basic ONS 15454 LAN configuration (Figure 4-1). The ONS 15454s and CTC
computer reside on the same subnet. All ONS 15454s connect to LAN A, and all ONS 15454s have DCC
connections.
Note
Instructions for creating DCC connections are provided in Chapter 5, “SONET Topologies” within
the BLSR, UPSR and linear ADM procedures.

4.2.2 Scenario 2: CTC and ONS 15454s Connected to Router
In Scenario 2 the CTC computer resides on a subnet (192.168.1.0) and attaches to LAN A (Figure 4-2).
The ONS 15454s reside on a different subnet (192.168.2.0) and attach to LAN B. A router connects LAN
A to LAN B. The IP address of router interface A is set to LAN A (192.168.1.1), and the IP address of
router interface B is set to LAN B (192.168.2.1).
On the CTC computer, the default gateway is set to router interface A. If the LAN uses DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol), the default gateway and IP address are assigned automatically. In the
Figure 4-2 example, a DHCP server is not available.

4.2.3 Scenario 3: Using Proxy ARP to Enable an ONS 15454 Gateway
Scenario 3 is similar to Scenario 1, but only one ONS 15454 (node #1) connects to the LAN (Figure 4-3).
Two ONS 15454s (#2 and #3) connect to ONS 15454 #1 through the SONET DCC. Because all three
ONS 15454s are on the same subnet, Proxy ARP enables ONS 15454 #1 to serve as a gateway for ONS
15454s #2 and #3.

ARP matches higher-level IP addresses to the physical addresses of the destination host. It uses a lookup
table (called ARP cache) to perform the translation. When the address is not found in the ARP cache, a
broadcast is sent out on the network with a special format called the ARP request. If one of the machines
on the network recognizes its own IP address in the request, it sends an ARP reply back to the requesting
host. The reply contains the physical hardware address of the receiving host. The requesting host stores
this address in its ARP cache so that all subsequent datagrams (packets) to this destination IP address
can be translated to a physical address.
Proxy ARP enables one LAN-connected ONS 15454 to respond to the ARP request for ONS 15454s not
connected to the LAN. (ONS 15454 Proxy ARP requires no user configuration.) For this to occur, the
DCC-connected ONS 15454s must reside on the same subnet. When a LAN device sends an ARP request
to an ONS 15454 that is not connected to the LAN, the gateway ONS 15454 returns its MAC address to
the LAN device. The LAN device then sends the datagram for the remote ONS 15454 to the MAC
address of the proxy ONS 15454. The proxy ONS 15454 uses its routing table to forward the datagram
to the non-LAN ONS 15454. The routing table is built using the OSPF IP routing protocol. (An OSPF
example is presented in Scenario 6.)

ONS 15454 IP Addressing Scenarios
4.2.4 Scenario 4: Default Gateway on CTC Computer
Scenario 4 is similar to Scenario 3, but nodes #2 and #3 reside on different subnets, 192.168.2.0 and
192.168.3.0, respectively (Figure 4-4). Node #1 and the CTC computer are on subnet 192.168.1.0. The
network includes different subnets because Proxy ARP is not used. In order for the CTC computer to
communicate with ONS 15454s #2 and #3, ONS 15454 #1 is entered as the default gateway on the CTC
computer using the “Direct Connections to the ONS 15454” section on page 2-5.

4.2.5 Scenario 5: Using Static Routes to Connect to LANs
Static routes are used for two purposes:
•
To connect ONS 15454s to CTC sessions on one subnet connected by a router to ONS 15454s
residing on another subnet. (These static routes are not needed if OSPF is enabled. Scenario 7 shows
an OSPF example.)
•
To enable multiple CTC sessions among ONS 15454s residing on the same subnet. (Scenario 6
shows an example.)
In Figure 4-5, one CTC residing on subnet 192.168.1.0 connects to a router through interface A. (The
router is not set up with OSPF.) ONS 15454s residing on subnet 192.168.2.0 are connected through ONS
15454 #1 to the router through interface B. Proxy ARP enables ONS 15454 #1 as a gateway for ONS
15454s #2 and #3. To connect to CTC computers on LAN A, a static route is created on ONS 15454 #1.

The destination and subnet mask entries control access to the ONS 15454s:
•
If a single CTC computer is connected to router, enter the complete CTC “host route” IP address as
the destination with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.
•
If CTC computers on a subnet are connected to router, enter the destination subnet (in this example,
192.168.1.0) and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
•
If all CTC computers are connected to router, enter a destination of 0.0.0.0 and a subnet mask of
0.0.0.0. Figure 4-6 shows an example.
The IP address of router interface B is entered as the next hop, and the cost (number of hops from source
to destination) is 2.

In the Create Static Route dialog box enter the following:
•
Destination—Enter the IP address of the computer running CTC. To limit access to one computer,
enter the full IP address (in the example, 192.168.1.100). To allow access to all computers on the
192.168.1.0 subnet, enter 192.168.1.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You can enter a
destination of 0.0.0.0 to allow access to all CTC computers that connect to the router.

•
Mask—Enter a subnet mask. If the destination is a host route (i.e., one CTC computer), enter a 32-bit
subnet mask (255.255.255.255). If the destination is a subnet, adjust the subnet mask accordingly,
for example, 255.255.255.0. If the destination is 0.0.0.0, enter a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 to provide
access to all CTC computers.
•
Next Hop—Enter the IP address of the router port (in this example, 192.168.90.1) or the node IP
address if the CTC computer is connected to the node directly.
•
Cost—Enter the number of hops between the ONS 15454 and the computer. In this example, the cost
is two, one hop from the ONS 15454 to the router and a second hop from the router to the CTC
workstation.
Click OK. Verify that the static route displays in the Static Route window, or ping the node.
4.2.6 Scenario 6: Static Route for Multiple CTCs
Scenario 6 shows a static route used when multiple CTC computers need to access ONS 15454s residing
on the same subnet (Figure 4-7). In this scenario, CTC #1 and #2 and all ONS 15454s are on the same
IP subnet; ONS 15454 #1 and CTC #1 are attached to LAN A. ONS 15454 #2 and CTC #2 are attached
to LAN B. Static routes are added to ONS 15454 #1 pointing to CTC #1, and to ONS 15454 #2 pointing
to CTC #2. The static route is entered from the node’s perspective.

4.2.7 Scenario 7: Using OSPF
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link state Internet routing protocol. Link state protocols use a “hello
protocol” to monitor their links with adjacent routers and to test the status of their links to their
neighbors. Link state protocols advertise their directly-connected networks and their active links. Each
link state router captures the link state “advertisements” and puts them together to create a topology of
the entire network or area. From this database, the router calculates a routing table by constructing a
shortest path tree. Routes are continuously recalculated to capture ongoing topology changes.
ONS 15454s use the OSPF protocol in internal ONS 15454 networks for node discovery, circuit routing,
and node management. You can enable OSPF on the ONS 15454s so that the ONS 15454 topology is
sent to OSPF routers on a LAN. Advertising the ONS 15454 network topology to LAN routers eliminates
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide

November 2001
Chapter 4
IP Networking
ONS 15454 IP Addressing Scenarios
the need to manually enter static routes for ONS 15454 subnetworks. Figure 4-7 shows the same network
enabled for OSPF. Figure 4-9 shows the same network without OSPF. Static routes must be manually
added to the router in order for CTC computers on LAN A to communicate with ONS 15454 #2 and #3
because these nodes reside on different subnets.
OSPF divides networks into smaller regions, called areas. An area is a collection of networked end
systems, routers, and transmission facilities organized by traffic patterns. Each OSPF area has a unique
ID number, known as the area ID, that can range from 0 to 4,294,967,295. Every OSPF network has one
backbone area called “area 0.” All other OSPF areas must connect to area 0.
When you enable ONS 15454 OSPF topology for advertising to an OSPF network, you must assign an
OSPF area ID to the ONS 15454 network. Coordinate the area ID number assignment with your LAN
administrator. In general, all DCC-connected ONS 15454s are assigned the same OSPF area ID.

Use the following procedure to enable OSPF on each ONS 15454 node that you want included in the
OSPF network topology. ONS 15454 OSPF settings must match the router OSPF settings, so you will
need to get the OSPF Area ID, Hello and Dead intervals, and authentication key (if OSPF authentication
is enabled) from the router to which the ONS 15454 network is connected before enabling OSPF.
Procedure: Set up OSPF
Step 1
Log into the ONS 15454 node.
Step 2
In node view, select the Provisioning > Network > OSPF tabs. The OSPF pane has several options
(Figure 4-10).

Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
On the top left side, complete the following:
•
DCC OSPF Area ID—Enter the number that identifies the ONS 15454s as a unique OSPF area. The
OSPF area number can be an integer between 0 and 4294967295, and it can take a form similar to
an IP address. The number must be unique to the LAN OSPF area.
•
DCC Metric—This value is normally unchanged. It sets a “cost” for sending packets across the
DCC, which is used by OSPF routers to calculate the shortest path. This value should always be
higher than the LAN metric. The default DCC metric is 100.
In the OSPF on LAN area, complete the following:
•
OSPF active on LAN—When checked, enables ONS 15454 OSPF topology to be advertised to OSPF
routers on the LAN. Enable this field on ONS 15454s that directly connect to OSPF routers.
•
Area ID for LAN Port—Enter the OSPF area ID for the router port where the ONS 15454 is
connected. (This number is different from the DCC Area ID.)
In the Authentication area, complete the following:
•
Type—If the router where the ONS 15454 is connected uses authentication, select Simple
Password. Otherwise, select No Authentication.
•
Key—If authentication is enabled, enter the OSPF key (password).
In the Priority and Intervals area, complete the following:

The OSPF priority and intervals default to values most commonly used by OSPF routers. In the Priority
and Invervals area, verify that these values match those used by the OSPF router where the ONS 15454
is connected.
Step 7
•
Router Priority—Used to select the designated router for a subnet.
•
Hello Interval (sec)—Sets the number of seconds between OSPF “hello” packet advertisements sent
by OSPF routers. Ten seconds is the default.
•
Dead Interval—Sets the number of seconds that will pass while an OSPF router’s packets are not
visible before its neighbors declare the router down. Forty seconds is the default.
•
Transit Delay (sec)—Indicates the service speed. One second is the default.
•

In the OSPF Area Range Table area, complete the following:
Area range tables consolidate the information that is propagated outside an OSPF Area border. One ONS
15454 in the ONS 15454 OSPF area is connected to the OSPF router. An area range table on this node
points the router to the other nodes that reside within the ONS 15454 OSPF area.
To create an area range table:
a.
Under OSPF Area Range Table, click Create.
b.
In the Create Area Range dialog box, enter the following:
– Range Address—Enter the area IP address for the ONS 15454s that reside within the OSPF area.
For example, if the ONS 15454 OSPF area includes nodes with IP addresses 10.10.20.100,
10.10.30.150, 10.10.40.200, and 10.10.50.250, the range address would be 10.10.0.0.
– Range Area ID—Enter the OSPF area ID for the ONS 15454s. This is either the ID in the DCC
OSPF Area ID field or the ID in the Area ID for LAN Port field.
– Mask Length—Enter the subnet mask length. In the Range Address example, this is 16.
– Advertise—Check if you want to advertise the OSPF range table.
c.
Step 8
Click OK.
All OSPF areas must be connected to Area 0. If the ONS 15454 OSPF area is not physically connected
to Area 0, use the following steps to create a virtual link table that will provide the disconnected area
with a logical path to Area 0:
a.
Under OSPF Virtual Link Table, click Create.
b.
In the Create Virtual Link dialog box, complete the following fields (OSPF settings must match
OSPF settings for the ONS 15454 OSPF area):
Neighbor—Enter the router ID of the Area 0 router.
Transit Delay (sec)—The service speed. One second is the default.
Hello Int (sec)—The number of seconds between OSPF “hello” packet advertisements sent by OSPF
routers. Ten seconds is the default.
Auth Type—If the router where the ONS 15454 is connected uses authentication, select Simple
Password. Otherwise, set it to No Authentication.
Retransmit Int (sec)—Sets the time that will elapse before a packet is resent. Five seconds is the
default.

SONET Topologies
This chapter explains how to set up the Cisco ONS 15454 in different SONET topologies, including:
•
Two-fiber and four-fiber bidirectional line switched rings (BLSRs)
•
Unidirectional path switched rings (UPSRs)
•
Subtending rings
•
Linear add/drop multiplexers (ADMs)
•
Path-protected mesh networks (PPMNs)
5.1 Before You Begin
To avoid errors during network configuration, Cisco recommends that you draw the complete ONS
15454 SONET topology on paper (or electronically) before you begin the physical implementation. A
sketch ensures that you have adequate slots, cards, and fibers to complete the topology.
Table 5-1 shows the SONET rings that can be created on each ONS 15454 node.

5.2 Bidirectional Line Switched Rings
The ONS 15454 can support two concurrent BLSRs in one of the following configurations:
•
Two, two-fiber BLSRs, or
•
One two-fiber and one four-fiber BLSR.
Each BLSR can have up to 16 ONS 15454s. Because the working and protect bandwidths must be equal,
you can create only OC-12 (two-fiber only), OC-48, or OC-192 BLSRs.
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide
November 2001

Chapter 5
SONET Topologies
Bidirectional Line Switched Rings
Note
Two-fiber BLSRs can support up to 24 ONS 15454s, but switch times are slightly longer for rings
containing more than 16 nodes. BLSRs with 16 or fewer nodes will meet the GR-1230 switch time
requirement. Four-fiber BLSRs can only support 16 nodes.
5.2.1 Two-Fiber BLSRs
In two-fiber BLSRs, each fiber is divided into working and protect bandwidths. For example, in an
OC-48 BLSR (Figure 5-1), STSs 1 – 24 carry the working traffic, and STSs 25 – 48 are reserved for
protection. Working traffic (STSs 1 – 24) travels in one direction on one fiber and in the opposite
direction on the second fiber. The Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) circuit routing routines calculate
the “shortest path” for circuits based on many factors, including requirements set by the circuit
provisioner, traffic patterns, and distance. For example, in Figure 5-1, circuits going from Node 0 to
Node 1 typically will travel on Fiber 1, unless that fiber is full, in which case circuits will be routed on
Fiber 2 through Node 3 and Node 2. Traffic from Node 0 to Node 2 (or Node 1 to Node 3), may be routed
on either fiber, depending on circuit provisioning requirements and traffic loads.

Chapter 5
SONET Topologies
Bidirectional Line Switched Rings
The SONET K1 and K2 bytes carry the information that governs BLSR protection switches. Each BLSR
node monitors the K bytes to determine when to switch the SONET signal to an alternate physical path.
The K bytes communicate failure conditions and actions taken between nodes in the ring.
If a break occurs on one fiber, working traffic targeted for a node beyond the break switches to the
protect bandwidth on the second fiber. The traffic travels in reverse direction on the protect bandwidth
until it reaches its destination node. At that point, traffic is switched back to the working bandwidth.
Figure 5-2 shows a sample traffic pattern on a four-node, two-fiber BLSR.

Traffic flow
Figure 5-3 shows how traffic is rerouted following a line break between Node 0 and Node 3.
•
All circuits originating on Node 0 carried to Node 2 on Fiber 2 are switched to the protect bandwidth
of Fiber 1. For example, a circuit carried on STS-1 on Fiber 2 is switched to STS-25 on Fiber 1. A
circuit carried on STS-2 on Fiber 2 is switched to STS-26 on Fiber 1. Fiber 1 carries the circuit to
Node 3 (the original routing destination). Node 3 switches the circuit back to STS-1 on Fiber 2
where it is routed to Node 2 on STS-1.
•
Circuits originating on Node 2 that were normally carried to Node 0 on Fiber 1 are switched to the
protect bandwidth of Fiber 2 at Node 3. For example, a circuit carried on STS-2 on Fiber 1 is
switched to STS-26 on Fiber 2. Fiber 2 carries the circuit to Node 0 where the circuit is switched
back to STS-2 on Fiber 1 and then dropped to its destination.

5.2.2 Four-Fiber BLSRs
Four-fiber BLSRs double the bandwidth of two-fiber BLSRs. Because they allow span switching as well
as ring switching, four-fiber BLSRs increase the reliability and flexibility of traffic protection. Two
fibers are allocated for working traffic and two fibers for protection, as shown in Figure 5-4. To
implement a four-fiber BLSR, you must install four OC-48 or OC-48AS cards, or four OC-192 cards at
each BLSR node.

Four-fiber BLSRs provide span and ring switching:
•
Span switching (Figure 5-5) occurs when a working span fails. Traffic switches to the protect fibers
between the nodes (Node 0 and Node 1 in the Figure 5-5 example) and then returns to the working
fibers. Multiple span switches can occur at the same time.
•
Ring switching (Figure 5-6) occurs when a span switch cannot recover traffic, such as when both
the working and protect fibers fail on the same span. In a ring switch, traffic is routed to the protect
fibers throughout the full ring.

5.2.3 BLSR Bandwidth
BLSR nodes can terminate traffic that is fed from either side of the ring. Therefore, BLSRs are suited
for distributed node-to-node traffic applications such as interoffice networks and access networks.
BLSRs allow bandwidth to be reused around the ring and can carry more traffic than a network with
traffic flowing through one central hub. BLSRs can also carry more traffic than a UPSR operating at the
same OC-N rate. Table 5-2 shows the bidirectional bandwidth capacities of two-fiber BLSRs. The
capacity is the OC-N rate divided by two, multiplied by the number of nodes in the ring minus the
number of pass-through STS-1 circuits. Table 5-3 shows the bidirectional bandwidth capacities of
four-fiber BLSRs.

depending on the traffic pattern).

Figure 5-7 shows an example of BLSR bandwidth reuse. The same STS carries three different traffic sets
simultaneously on different spans on the ring: one set from Node 3 to Node 1, one from Node 1 to Node
2, and another from Node 2 to Node 3.

5.2.4 Sample BLSR Application
Figure 5-8 shows a sample two-fiber BLSR implementation. A regional long-distance network connects
to other carriers at Node 0. Traffic is delivered to the service provider’s major hubs.
•
Carrier 1 delivers six DS-3s over two OC-3 spans to Node 0. Carrier 2 provides twelve DS-3s
directly. Node 0 receives the signals and delivers them around the ring to the appropriate node.
•
The ring also brings 14 DS-1s back from each remote site to Node 0. Intermediate nodes serve these
shorter regional connections.
•
The ONS 15454 OC-3 card supports a total of four OC-3 ports so that two additional OC-3 spans
can be added at little cost.

5.2.5 Setting Up BLSRs
To set up a BLSR on the ONS 15454, you perform five basic procedures:
•
Install the BLSR trunk cards. See the “Install the BLSR Trunk Cards” procedure on page 5-11.
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide
5-10
78-13453-01
Chapter 5
SONET Topologies
Bidirectional Line Switched Rings
•
Create the BLSR DCC terminations. See the “Create the BLSR DCC Terminations” procedure on
page 5-13.
•
Enable the BLSR ports. See the “Enable the BLSR Ports” procedure on page 5-13.
•
Set up BLSR timing. See the “Set up ONS 15454 Timing” procedure on page 3-14.
•
Provision the BLSR. See the “Provision the BLSR” procedure on page 5-14.
Procedure: Install the BLSR Trunk Cards
Step 1
Install the OC-12, OC-48, OC-48AS, or OC-192 cards that will serve as the BLSR trunk cards. You can
install the OC-12 and OC-48AS cards in any slot, but you can install the OC-48 and OC-192 cards only
in Slots 5, 6, 12, or 13.
Step 2
Allow the cards to boot.
Step 3
Attach the fiber to the east and west BLSR ports at each node.
Plan your fiber connections and use the same plan for all BLSR nodes. For example, make the east port
the farthest slot to the right and the west port the farthest left. Plug fiber connected to an east port at one
node into the west port on an adjacent node. Figure 5-11 shows fiber connections for a two-fiber BLSR
with trunk cards in Slot 5 (west) and Slot 12 (east).
Note
Always plug the transmit (Tx) connector of an OC-N card at one node into the receive (Rx)
connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. Cards will display an SF LED if Tx and Rx
connections are mismatched.
For four-fiber BLSRs, use the same east - west connection pattern for the working and protect fibers. Do
not mix working and protect card connections. The BLSR will not function if working and protect cards
are interconnected. Figure 5-12 shows fiber connections for a four-fiber BLSR. Slot 5 (west) and Slot
12 (east) carry the working traffic. Slot 6 (west) and Slot 13 (east) carry the protect traffic.

Step 2
Click the Provisioning > Sonet DCC tabs.
Step 3
In the SDCC Terminations section, click Create.
Step 4
On the Create SDCC Terminations dialog, press Ctrl and click the two slots/ports that will serve as the
BLSR ports at the node. For example, Slot 5 (OC-48)/Port 1 and Slot 12 (OC-48)/ Port 1. For four-fiber
BLSRs, provision the working cards, but not the protect cards, as DCC terminations.
Step 5
Click OK.
Step 6
The slots/ports appear in the SDCC Terminations list.
Step 7
Complete Steps 2 – 5 at each node that will be in the BLSR.
Note
The ONS 15454 uses the SONET Section layer DCC (SDCC) for data communications. It
does not use the Line DCCs; therefore, the Line DCCs are available to tunnel DCCs from
third-party equipment across ONS 15454 networks. For more detail, see the “Creating DCC
Tunnels” section on page 6-21.
Procedure: Enable the BLSR Ports
Step 1
Log into one of the nodes that will be in the BLSR.
Step 2
Double-click one of the OC-N cards that you configured as a DCC termination.
Step 3
Click the Provisioning > Line tabs.
Step 4
Click Status (Figure 5-13) and choose In Service.

Step 6
(Four-fiber BLSR only) Repeat Steps 2 – 4 for each protect card.
Step 7
Repeat Steps 2 – 5 at each node that will be in the BLSR.
After configuring the SONET DCC, set the timing for the node. For procedures, see the “Setting Up ONS
15454 Timing” section on page 3-12. After you configure the timing you can provision the BLSR.
Procedure: Provision the BLSR
Step 1
Log into one BLSR node.
Step 2
Select the Provisioning > Ring tabs.
Step 3
Click Create.
Step 4
On the Create BLSR dialog box (Figure 5-14), set the BLSR properties:
•
Ring Type—select the BLSR ring type, either two-fiber or four-fiber.
•
Ring ID—Assign a ring ID (a number between 0 and 9999). Nodes in the same BLSR must have the
same Ring ID.
•
Node ID—Assign a Node ID. The Node ID identifies the node to the BLSR. Nodes in the same
BLSR must have unique Node IDs.
•
Reversion time—Set the amount of time that will pass before the traffic reverts to the original
working path. The default is 5 minutes. All nodes in a BLSR ring should have the same reversion
time setting, particularly if “never” (i.e., non-revertive) is selected.
•
West Port—Assign the west BLSR port for the node from the pull-down menu. (In Figure 5-11, this
is Slot 5.)
Cisco ONS 15454 Installation and Operations Guide

Chapter 5
SONET Topologies
Bidirectional Line Switched Rings
•
East Port—Assign the east BLSR port for the node from the pull-down menu. (In Figure 5-11, this
is Slot 12.)
The east and west ports must match the fiber connections and DCC terminations set up in the “Install
the BLSR Trunk Cards” procedure on page 5-11 and the “Create the BLSR DCC Terminations”
procedure on page 5-13.
For four-fiber BLSRs, complete the following:
•
Span Reversion—Set the amount of time that will pass before the traffic reverts to the original
working path following a span reversion. The default is 5 minutes. Span reversions can be set to
Never. If you set a reversion time, the times must be the same for both ends of the span. That is, if
Node A’s west fiber is connected to Node B’s east port, the Node A west span reversion time must
be the same as the Node B east span reversion time. To avoid reversion time mismatches, Cisco
recommends that you use the same span reversion time throughout the ring.
•
West Protect—Assign the west BLSR port that will connect to the west protect fiber from the
pull-down menu. (In Figure 5-12, this is Slot 6.)
•
East Protect—Assign the east BLSR port that will connect to the east protect fiber from the
pull-down menu. (In Figure 5-12, this is Slot 13.)
Figure 5-14 Setting BLSR properties
Step 5
Click OK.
Note
Some or all of the following alarms display during BLSR setup: E-W MISMATCH, RING
MISMATCH, APSCIMP, APSDFLTK, BLSROSYNC. The alarms will clear after you
configure all the nodes in the BLSR.
Step 6
Complete Steps 2 – 5 at each node that you are adding to the BLSR.
Step 7
After you configure the last BLSR node, wait for the BLSR Ring Map Change dialog box to display (this
can take 10 – 30 seconds).
Note
Step 8
The dialog box will not display if SDCC Termination alarms (e.g., EOC) or BLSR alarms
(such as E-W MISMATCH and RING MISMATCH) are present. If an SDCC alarm is
present, review the DCC provisioning at each node; use the “Create the BLSR DCC
Terminations” procedure on page 5-13. If BLSR alarms have not cleared, repeat Steps 1 – 6
at each node, making sure each node is provisioned correctly. You can also following alarm
troubleshooting procedures provided in the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and
Maintenance Guide.
On the BLSR Ring Map Change dialog, click Yes.

5.2.6 Upgrading From Two-Fiber to Four-Fiber BLSRs
Two-fiber OC-48 or OC-192 BLSRs can be upgraded to four-fiber BLSRs. To upgrade, you install two
OC-48 or OC-192 cards at each two-fiber BLSR node, then log into CTC and upgrade each node from
two-fiber to four-fiber. The fibers that were divided into working and protect bandwidths for the
two-fiber BLSR are now fully allocated for working BLSR traffic.
Procedure: Upgrade From a Two-Fiber to a Four-Fiber BLSR
Step 1
Log into one of the two-fiber BLSR nodes. In network view:
a.
Verify that all spans between BLSR nodes on the network map are green.
b.
Click the Alarms tab. Verify that no critical or major alarms are present, nor any facility alarms,
such as LOS, LOF, AIS-L, SF, and SD. In a BLSR, these facility conditions may be reported as
minor alarms.
c.
Click the Conditions tab, then click Retrieve Conditions. Verify that no ring switches are active.
If trouble is indicated, for example, a major alarm exists, resolve the problem before proceeding to
Step 2. See the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide for additional information.
Step 2
Install two OC-48 or OC-192 cards at each BLSR node. You must install the same OC-N card rate as the
two fiber.
Step 3

5.2.7 Adding and Removing BLSR Nodes
This section explains how to add and remove BLSR nodes. To add or remove a node, you force a
protection switch to route traffic away from the span where you will add or remove the node. Figure 5-15
shows a three-node BLSR before the new node is added. To add Node 3, you would:
Note
•
Force a protection switch on the Node 1 (Slot 5, West) and Node 4 (Slot 12, East) span. The
protection switch forces traffic away from the fibers that you will remove and reconnect to the added
node.
•
Remove fibers from Node 1/Slot 5 and Node 4/Slot 12, then, using additional fibers, connect Node
1 and Node 4 to Node 3.
•
Remove the protection switch to route traffic through the added node.
You can only add one node at a time to an ONS 15454 BLSR.

Procedure: Add a BLSR Node
Perform these steps on-site and not from a remote location.
Step 1
Draw a diagram, similar to Figure 5-15, for the BLSR installation where you will add the node. In the
diagram, identify the nodes, cards (slots) and spans (east or west) that will connect to the new node. This
information is essential to complete this procedure without error. For example, in Figure 5-15, you
would circle Slot 5 (west) on Node 1, and Slot 12 (east) on Node 4.

Step 2
Log into CTC and display the BLSR nodes in network view. Verify the following:
•
All BLSR spans on the network map are green.
•
On the Alarms tab, no critical or major alarms are present, nor any facility alarms, such as LOS,
LOF, AIS-L, SF, and SD. In a BLSR, these facility conditions may be reported as minor alarms.
•
On the Conditions tab, no ring switches are active.
If trouble is indicated, for example, a major alarm exists, resolve the problem before proceeding.
Step 3
Install the OC-N cards in the ONS 15454 that you will add to the BLSR; use the “Install the BLSR Trunk
Cards” procedure on page 5-11. Ensure fiber cables are available to connect to the cards. Run test traffic
through the node to ensure the cards are functioning properly.
Step 4
Log into the new node and complete the BLSR setup.
•
Provision the SONET DCC using the “Create the BLSR DCC Terminations” procedure on
page 5-13.
•
Configure the BLSR timing using the “Set up ONS 15454 Timing” procedure on page 3-14.
•
Enable the BLSR ports using the “Enable the BLSR Ports” procedure on page 5-13.
•
Provision the BLSR using the “Provision the BLSR” procedure on page 5-14

Following the diagram that you created in Step 1, remove the fiber connections from the two nodes that
will connect directly to the new node.
a.
Remove the east fiber from the node that will connect to the west port of the new node. In the
Figure 5-15 example, this is Node 4/Slot 12.
b.
Remove the west fiber from the node that will connect to the east port of the new node. In the
Figure 5-15 example, this is Node 1/Slot 5.
Replace the removed fibers with fibers that are connected to the new node. Connect the west port to the
east port and the east port to the west port. Figure 5-16 shows the BLSR in the Figure 5-15 example after
the node is connected.

Procedure: Remove a BLSR Node
Caution
Step 1
The following procedure minimizes traffic outages during node deletions, but traffic will be lost
when you delete and recreate circuits that passed through the deleted node.
Before you start this procedure, make sure you know the following:
•
Which node is connected through its east port to the node that will be deleted. For example if you
are deleting Node 1 in Figure 5-16, Node 3 is the node connected through its east port to Node 1.
•
Which node is connected through its west port to the node that will be deleted. In Figure 5-16, Node
2 is connected to Node 1 through its west port.
Step 2
Log into a node on the same BLSR as the node you will remove. (Do not log into the node that you will
remove.)
Step 3
Display the BLSR nodes in network view and verify the following:
•
All BLSR spans on the network map are green.
•
No critical or major alarms (LOF, LOS, ASP, ASL) are displayed on the Alarms tab.
•
On the Conditions tab, no ring switches are active.
If trouble is indicated, for example, a critical or major alarm exists, resolve the problem before
proceeding.
Step 4
Display the node that you will remove in node view.
Step 5
Delete all the circuits that originate or terminate in that node. (If a circuit has multiple drops, delete only
the drops that terminate on the node you want to delete.)
Step 6
a.
Click the Circuits tab. The circuits that use this node are displayed.
b.
Select circuits that originate or terminate on the node. Click Delete.
c.
Click Yes when prompted.
d.
If a multidrop circuit has drops at the node that will be removed, select the circuit, click Edit, and
remove the drops.
Complete this step if circuits that were created using Cisco Transport Controller Release 2.x. pass
through the node that will be deleted (i.e., circuits are displayed on the Circuits tab).
a.
On the Circuits tab of the node that will be deleted, select a circuit and click Edit.
b.
On the Edit Circuits window, check Show Detailed Map.
c.
Verify that the circuits enter and exit the node on the same STS. For example, if a circuit enters on
s5/p1/S1 (Slot 5, Port 1, STS1), verify that it exits on STS1. If a circuit enters/exits on different
STSs, write down the name of the circuit. You will delete and recreate these circuits in Step e.
d.
From the View menu select Go to Network View, then select the Circuits tab.
e.
Delete and recreate each circuit recorded in Step c. To delete the circuit, select the circuit on the
Circuits window and click the Delete button. To create the circuit, go to the “Create an
Automatically Routed Circuit” procedure on page 6-2.

Step 9
Reconnect the two neighboring nodes directly, west port to east port.
Step 10
Close CTC, then log into a node on the reduced ring.
Step 11
Wait for the BLSR Map Ring Change dialog box to display. (If the dialog box does not display after
10 – 15 seconds, select the Provisioning > Ring tabs and click Ring Map.) When the dialog box
displays, click Yes.
Step 12
On the BLSR Ring Map dialog box, click Accept.
Step 13
Clear the protection switches on the neighboring nodes:
Step 14
a.
Open the node with the protection switch on its east port.
b.
Click the Maintenance > Ring tabs and choose CLEAR from the East Switch list. Click Apply.
c.
Open the node with the protection switch on its west port.
d.
Click the Maintenance > Ring tabs and choose CLEAR from the West Switch list. Click Apply.
If a BITS clock is not used at each node, check that the synchronization is set to one of the eastbound or
westbound BLSR spans on the adjacent nodes. If the removed node was the BITS timing source, use a
new node as the BITS source or select internal synchronization at one node where all other nodes will
derive their timing. (For information about ONS 15454 timing, see the “Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing”
section on page 3-12.)

on the card. See the “Set up ONS 15454 Timing” procedure on page 3-14 for instructions.
5.3 Unidirectional Path Switched Rings
UPSRs provide duplicate fiber paths around the ring. Working traffic flows in one direction and
protection traffic flows in the opposite direction. If a problem occurs in the working traffic path, the
receiving node switches to the path coming from the opposite direction.
CTC automates ring configuration. UPSR traffic is defined within the ONS 15454 on a circuit-by-circuit
basis. If a path-protected circuit is not defined within a 1+1 or BLSR line protection scheme and path
protection is available and specified, CTC uses UPSR as the default.
Figure 5-20 shows a basic UPSR configuration. If Node ID 0 sends a signal to Node ID 2, the working
signal travels on the working traffic path through Node ID 1. The same signal is also sent on the protect
traffic path through Node ID 3. If a fiber break occurs (Figure 5-21), Node ID 2 switches its active
receiver to the protect signal coming through Node ID 3.
Because each traffic path is transported around the entire ring, UPSRs are best suited for networks where
traffic concentrates at one or two locations and is not widely distributed. UPSR capacity is equal to its
bit rate. Services can originate and terminate on the same UPSR, or they can be passed to an adjacent
access or interoffice ring for transport to the service-terminating location.

5.3.1 Example UPSR Application
Figure 5-22 shows a common UPSR application. OC-3 optics provide remote switch connectivity to a
host TR-303 switch. In the example, each remote switch requires eight DS-1s to return to the host switch.
Figure 5-23 and Figure 5-24 show the shelf layout for each site.

Node ID 0 has four DS1-14 cards to provide 56 active DS-1 ports. The other sites only require two
DS1-14 cards to handle the eight DS-1s to and from the remote switch. You can use the other half of
each ONS 15454 shelf assembly to provide support for a second or third ring to other existing or planned
remote sites.
In this sample OC-3 UPSR, Node ID 0 contains four DS1-14 cards and two OC3 IR 4 1310 cards. Six
free slots also exist in this setup and can be provisioned with cards or left empty. Figure 5-23 shows the
shelf setup for these cards.

5.3.2 Setting Up a UPSR
To set up a UPSR, you perform four basic procedures:
•
Install the UPSR trunk cards. Use the “Install the UPSR Trunk Cards” procedure on page 5-30
•
Create the DCC terminations. Use the “Configure the UPSR DCC Terminations” procedure on
page 5-31.
•
Configure the timing. Use the “Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing” section on page 3-12.
•
Enable the ports. Use the “Enable the UPSR Ports” procedure on page 5-32.
After you enable the ports, you set up the UPSR circuits. UPSR signal thresholds—the levels that
determine when the UPSR path is switched—are set at the circuit level. To create UPSR circuits, see the
“Circuits Overview” section on page 6-1.
Procedure: Install the UPSR Trunk Cards
Step 1
Install the OC-N cards that will serve as the UPSR trunk cards. You can install the OC-3, OC-12, and
OC-48AS cards in any slot, but the OC-48 and OC-192 cards can only be installed in Slots 5, 6, 12, or 13.
Step 2
Allow the cards to boot.
Step 3
Attach the fiber to the east and west UPSR ports at each node.
To avoid errors, make the east port the farthest slot to the right and the west port the farthest left. Fiber
connected to an east port at one node must plug into the west port on an adjacent node. Figure 5-25
shows fiber connections for a four-node UPSR with trunk cards in Slot 5 (west) and Slot 12 (east).
Always plug the fiber plugged into the transmit (Tx) connector of an OC-N card at one node into the
receive (Rx) connector of an OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card will display an SF LED if Tx and
Rx fibers are mismatched.

The ONS 15454 uses the SONET Section layer DCC (SDCC) for data communications. It
does not use the Line DCCs. Line DCCs can be used to tunnel DCCs from third party
equipment across ONS 15454 networks. For procedures, see the “Creating DCC Tunnels”
section on page 6-21.
Click OK.
The slots/ports display in the SDCC Terminations section.
Step 6
Complete Steps 2 – 5 at each node that will be in the UPSR.
After configuring the SONET DCC, set the timing for the node. For procedures, see the “Setting Up ONS
15454 Timing” section on page 3-12. After configuring the timing, enable the UPSR ports as described
in the following procedure.

create circuits, see the “Circuits Overview” section on page 6-1.
5.3.3 Adding and Removing UPSR Nodes
This section explains how to add and remove nodes in an ONS 15454 UPSR configuration. To add or
remove a node, you switch traffic on the affected spans to route traffic away from the area of the ring
where service will be performed. Use the span selector switch option to switch traffic from a UPSR span
at different protection levels. The span selector switch option is useful when you need to reroute traffic
from a UPSR span temporarily to add or drop nodes, perform maintenance, or perform other operations.
Procedure: Switch UPSR Traffic
Step 1
Display the network view.
Step 2
Right-click the span that will be cut to add or delete a node and select Circuits from the shortcut menu
(Figure 5-26).

Caution
On the Circuits on Span dialog box (Figure 5-27), select the protection from the Switch all UPSR
circuits away menu:
•
CLEAR removes a previously-set switch command.
•
MANUAL switches the span if the new span is error free.
•
FORCE forces the span to switch, regardless of whether the new span is error free.
•
LOCKOUT locks out or prevents switching to a highlighted span. (LOCKOUT is only available
when Revertive traffic is enabled.)
FORCE and LOCKOUT commands override normal protective switching mechanisms. Applying
these commands incorrectly can cause traffic outages.

•
All UPSR spans on the network map are green.
•
No critical or major alarms (LOF, LOS, ASP, ASL) are displayed on the Alarms tab.
•
On the Conditions tab, no UPSR switches are active.
•
At each physical UPSR node, all fibers are securely connected to the appropriate ports.
If trouble is indicated, for example, a critical or major alarm exists, resolve the problem before
proceeding.
Step 2
At the node that will be added to the UPSR:
•
Verify that the OC-N cards are installed and fiber is available to connect to the other nodes.
•
Run test traffic through the cards that will connect to the UPSR.
•
Use the “Setting Up a UPSR” section on page 5-30 to provision the new node.
Step 3
Log into a node that will directly connect to the new node.
Step 4
Use the “Switch UPSR Traffic” procedure on page 5-32 to initiate a FORCE switch to switch traffic
away from the span that will connect to the new node.
Caution
Step 5
Traffic is not protected during a protection switch.
Two nodes will connect directly to the new node; remove their fiber connections:
a.
Remove the east fiber connection from the node that will connect to the west port of the new node.

Step 12
Use the “Switch UPSR Traffic” procedure on page 5-32 to clear the protection switch.
Procedure: Remove a UPSR Node
Caution
Step 1
The following procedure is designed to minimize traffic outages while nodes are removed, but traffic
will be lost when you delete and recreate circuits that passed through the removed node.
Log into CTC and display the UPSR nodes in network view. Verify the following:
•
All UPSR spans on the network map are green.
•
No critical or major alarms (LOF, LOS, ASP, ASL) are displayed on the Alarms tab.
•
On the Conditions tab, no UPSR switches are active.
•
At each physical UPSR node, all fibers are securely connected to the appropriate ports.
If trouble is indicated, for example, a critical or major alarm exists, resolve the problem before
proceeding.
Step 2
Use the “Switch UPSR Traffic” procedure on page 5-32 to initiate a FORCE switch to switch traffic
away from the node you are removing. Initiate a FORCE switch on all spans connected to the node you
are removing.
Caution
Step 3
Traffic is not protected during a forced protection switch.
In the node that will be removed, delete circuits that originate or terminate in that node. (If a circuit has
multiple drops, delete only the drops that terminate on the node you are deleting.)
a.
Click the Circuits tab.
b.

no longer be a part of the ring.
Step 5
Reconnect the span fibers of the nodes remaining in the ring.
Step 6
Open the Alarms tab of each newly-connected node and verify that the span cards are free of alarms.
Resolve any alarms before proceeding.
Step 7
One circuit at a time, delete and recreate each circuit that passed through the deleted node on different
STSs.
Note
Step 8
If the removed node was the BITS timing source, select a new node as the BITS source or
select another node as the master timing node.
Use the “Switch UPSR Traffic” procedure on page 5-32 to clear the protection switch.
5.4 Subtending Rings
The ONS 15454 supports up to ten SONET DCCs. Therefore, one ONS 15454 node can terminate and
groom any one of the following ring combinations:
•
5 UPSRs, or
•
4 UPSRs and 1 BLSR, or
•
3 UPSRs and 2 BLSRs
Subtending rings from an ONS 15454 reduces the number of nodes and cards required and reduces
external shelf-to-shelf cabling. Figure 5-28 shows an ONS 15454 with multiple subtending rings.

The ONS 15454 can support two BLSRs on the same node. This capability allows you to deploy an ONS
15454 in applications requiring SONET DCSs (digital cross connect systems) or multiple SONET
ADMs (add/drop multiplexers).
Figure 5-30 shows two BLSRs shared by one ONS 15454. Ring 1 runs on Nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Ring 2
runs on Nodes 4, 5, 6, and 7. Two BLSR rings, Ring 1 and Ring 2, are provisioned on Node 4. Ring 1
uses cards in Slots 5 and 12, and Ring 2 uses cards in Slots 6 and 13.
Although different node IDs are used for the two BLSRs shown in Figure 5-30, nodes in different
BLSRs can use the same node ID.

After subtending two BLSRs, you can route circuits from nodes in one ring to nodes in the second ring.
For example in Figure 5-30, you can route a circuit from Node 1 to Node 7. The circuit would normally
travel from Node 1 to Node 4 to Node 7. If fiber breaks occur, for example between Nodes 1 and 4 and
Nodes 4 and 7, traffic is rerouted around each ring: in this example, Nodes 2 and 3 in Ring 1 and Nodes
5 and 6 in Ring 2.

Linear ADM Configurations
Figure 5-32 Configuring two BLSRs on the same node
5.5 Linear ADM Configurations
You can configure ONS 15454s as a line of add/drop multiplexers (ADMs) by configuring one set of
OC-N cards as the working path and a second set as the protect path. Unlike rings, linear (point-to-point)
ADMs require that the OC-N cards at each node be in 1+1 protection to ensure that a break to the
working line is automatically routed to the protect line.
Figure 5-33 shows three ONS 15454s in a linear ADM configuration. Working traffic flows from Slot
6/Node 1 to Slot 6/Node 2, and from Slot 12/Node 2 to Slot 12/Node 3. You create the protect path by
placing Slot 6 in 1+1 protection with Slot 5 at Nodes 1 and 2, and Slot 12 in 1+1 protection with Slot 13
at Nodes 2 and 3.

Procedure: Create a Linear ADM
Complete the following steps for each node that will be included in the linear ADM.
Step 1
Complete the general setup information for the node. For procedures, see the “Setting Up Basic Node
Information” section on page 3-2.
Step 2
Set up the network information for the node. For procedures, see the “Setting Up Network Information”
section on page 3-2.
Step 3
Set up 1+1 protection for the OC-N cards in the ADM. In Figure 5-33, Slots 6 and 12 are the working
ports and Slots 5 and 13 are the protect ports. In this example, you would set up one protection group
for Node 1 (Slots 5 and 6), two for Node 2 (Slots 5 and 6, and 12 and 13) and one for Node 3 (Slots 12
and 13). To create protection groups, see the “Creating Protection Groups” section on page 3-9.
Step 4
For OC-N ports connecting ONS 15454s, set the SONET DCC terminations:
a.
Log into a linear ADM node and select the Provisioning > Sonet DCC tabs.
b.
In the SDCC Terminations section, click Create.
c.
On the Create SDCC Terminations dialog box, select the working port. Click OK.
Note
Terminating nodes (Nodes 1 and 3 in Figure 5-33) will have one SDCC, and intermediate
nodes (Node 2 in Figure 5-33) will have two SDCCs.
Step 5
Use the “Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing” section on page 3-12 to set up the node timing. If a node is
using line timing, set the working OC-N card as the timing source.
Step 6
Place the OC-N ports in service:
a.
Open an OC-N card that is connected to the linear ADM.
b.
On the Provisioning > Line tabs under Status, select In Service.
c.
Click Apply.
Repeat Step 6 for each OC-N card connected to the linear ADM.
Procedure: Convert a Linear ADM to UPSR
The following procedures describe how to convert a three-node linear ADM to a UPSR. You will need
a SONET test set to monitor traffic while you perform these procedures.
Caution
This procedure is service affecting.

Step 15
In the SDCC Terminations section, click Create.
Step 16
In the Create SDCC Terminations dialog box, select the slot/port that had been the protect slot in the
linear ADM, for example, for Node 1, this would be Slot 5/Port 1 (OC-48).
Step 17
Click OK.
An EOC SDCC alarm will occur until an SDCC termination is created on the adjacent node.
Step 18
Go to the node on the opposite end (Node 3 in the Figure 5-36 example) and repeat Steps 14 – 17.
Step 19
Delete and reenter the circuits one at a time. (See the “Creating Circuits and VT Tunnels” section on
page 6-2.)
Note
Deleting circuits is traffic affecting.
You can create the circuits automatically or manually. However, circuits must be protected. When they
were built in the linear ADM, they were protected by the protect path on Node 1/Slot 5 to Node 2/Slot
5 to Node 3/Slot 13. With the new UPSR, circuits should also be created with protection.
Deleting the first circuit and recreating it to the same card/port should restore the circuit immediately.
Step 20
Monitor your SONET test set to verify that the circuit was deleted and restored.
Step 21
You should also verify that the new circuit path for the clockwise (CW) fiber from Node 1 to Node 3 is
working. To do this, switch to network view and move your cursor to the green span between Node 1
and 3.
Although the cursor only shows the first circuit created, do not become alarmed that the other circuits
are not present. Verify with the SONET test set that the original circuits and the new circuits are
operational. The original circuits were created on the counter clockwise linear path.
Step 22
Go to the network map to view the newly-created ring (Figure 5-37).

Step 18
For circuits running on a BLSR protect STS (STSs 7 – 12 for an OC-12 BLSR, STSs 25 – 48 for an
OC-48 BLSR), delete and recreate the circuit:
a.
Delete the first circuit.
b.
Recreate the circuit on STSs 1 – 6 (for an OC-12 BLSR) or 1 – 24 (for an OC-48 BLSR) on the fiber
that served as the protect fiber in the linear ADM. During circuit creation, deselect “Route
Automatically” and “Fully Protected Path” on the Circuit Creation dialog box so you can manually
route the circuit on the appropriate STSs. See the “Create a Unidirectional Circuit with Multiple
Drops” procedure on page 6-8 for more information.
c.
Repeat Steps (a) and (b) for each circuit residing on a BLSR protect STS.
Note
Step 19
Deleting circuits is traffic affecting.
Follow all procedures in the “Setting Up BLSRs” section on page 5-10 to configure the BLSR. The ring
should have an East/West logical connection. While it may not physically be possible to connect the
OC-N cards in an East/West pattern, it is strongly recommended. If the network ring that is already
passing traffic does not provide the opportunity to connect fiber in this manner, logical provisioning can
be performed to satisfy this requirement.

Be sure to assign the same Ring ID and different node IDs to all nodes in the BLSR. Do not accept the
BLSR ring map until all nodes are provisioned.
Note
Step 20
E-W Mismatch alarms will occur until all nodes are provisioned.
Display the network map to view the newly-created ring.
5.6 Path-Protected Mesh Networks
In addition to single BLSRs, UPSRs and ADMs, you can extend ONS 15454 traffic protection by
creating path-protected mesh networks (PPMNs). PPMNs include multiple ONS 15454 SONET
topologies and extend the protection provided by a single UPSR to the meshed architecture of several
interconnecting rings. In a PPMN, circuits travel diverse paths through a network of single or multiple
meshed rings. When you create circuits, you can have CTC automatically route circuits across the
PPMN, or you can manually route them. You can also choose levels of circuit protection. For example,
if you choose full protection, CTC creates an alternate route for the circuit in addition to the main route.
The second route follows a unique path through the network between the source and destination and sets
up a second set of cross-connections.
For example, in Figure 5-39, a circuit is created from Node 3 to Node 9. CTC determines that the shortest
route between the two nodes passes through Node 8 and Node 7, shown by the dotted line, and
automatically creates cross-connections at Nodes, 3, 8, 7, and 9 to provide the primary circuit path.
If full protection is selected, CTC creates a second unique route between Nodes 3 and 9 which, in this
example, passes through Nodes 2, 1, and 11. Cross-connections are automatically created at Nodes, 3,
2, 1, 11, and 9, shown by the dashed line. If a failure occurs on the primary path, traffic switches to the
second circuit path. In this example, Node 9 switches from the traffic coming in from Node 7 to the
traffic coming in from Node 11 and service resumes. The switch occurs within 50 ms.

Circuits and Tunnels
This chapter explains how to create and administer Cisco ONS 15454 circuits and tunnels, which
includes:
•
Creating standard STS and VT1.5 circuits
•
Creating VT tunnels
•
Creating multiple drop circuits
•
Creating monitor circuits
•
Editing UPSR circuits
•
Creating path traces to monitor traffic
•
Reviewing ONS 15454 cross-connect card capacities
•
Creating DCC tunnels to tunnel third-party equipment through ONS 15454 networks
6.1 Circuits Overview
You can create STS and VT1.5 circuits across and within ONS 15454 nodes and assign different
attributes to circuits, for example:
•
Create one-way, two-way, or broadcast circuits.
•
Assign user-defined names to circuits.
•
Assign different circuit sizes. STS circuits can be STS-1, STS-3c, STS-12c, STS-48c, or STS-192c.
Ethernet circuits can be STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, or STS-12c. (To create Ethernet circuits see the
“Provision a Shared Packet Ring” procedure on page 9-10.)
•
Route circuits automatically or manually.
•
Automatically create multiple circuits.
•
Require the circuit path to be fully protected.
•
Require protected source and destination cards and ports.
•
Define a secondary circuit source or destination that allows you to interoperate an ONS 15454
unidirectional path switched ring (UPSR) with third-party equipment UPSRs.

Chapter 6
Circuits and Tunnels
Creating Circuits and VT Tunnels
Note
In this chapter, “cross-connect” and “circuit” have the following meanings: Cross-connect refers to
the connections that occur within a single ONS 15454 to allow a circuit to enter and exit an ONS
15454. Circuit refers to the series of connections from a traffic source (where traffic enters the ONS
15454 network) to the drop or destination (where traffic exits an ONS 15454 network).
6.2 Creating Circuits and VT Tunnels
This section explains how to create STS and VT1.5 circuits and VT tunnels. For an explanation and
examples of circuits and VT tunnels, see the “Cross-Connect Card Capacities” section on page 6-15. You
can create unidirectional or bidirectional, revertive or non-revertive circuits. You can have circuits
routed automatically or you can manually route them. The auto range feature eliminates the need to
individually build circuits of the same type; CTC can create additional sequential circuits if you specify
the number of circuits you need and build the first circuit.
You can provision circuits at any of the following points:
•
Before cards are installed. The ONS 15454 allows you to provision slots and circuits before
installing the traffic cards. (To provision an empty slot, right-click it and select a card from the
shortcut menu.) However, circuits will not carry traffic until you install the cards and place their
ports in service. For procedures, see the “Install Optical, Electrical, and Ethernet Cards” procedure
on page 1-48 and the “Enable Ports” procedure on page 3-10.
•
Cards are installed; ports are out of service. You must place the ports in service before circuits will
carry traffic.
•
Cards are installed, and their ports are in service. Circuits will carry traffic as soon as the signal is
received.
Procedure: Create an Automatically Routed Circuit
Note
Step 1
Tip
If you want to route circuits on protected drops, create the card protection groups before creating
circuits. See the “Create Protection Groups” procedure on page 3-9.
Log into an ONS 15454 and click the Circuits tab.
You can also right-click a source node in network view, select Provision Circuit To, and choose the
circuit destination node from the menu.
Step 2
Click Create.
Step 3
In the Circuit Creation dialog box (Figure 6-1), complete the following fields:
•
Name—(optional) Assign a name to the circuit. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 32
characters (including spaces). If you leave the Name field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the
circuit.
•
Type—Select the type of circuit you want to create: STS, VT (VT1.5), or VT tunnel. The circuit type
determines the circuit-provisioning options that are displayed. See the “VT1.5 Cross-Connects”
section on page 6-16 and the “VT Tunnels” section on page 6-19 for more information.

Creating Circuits and VT Tunnels
•
Size—Select the circuit size (STS circuits only). The “c” indicates concatenated STSs.
•
Bidirectional—Check this box to create a two-way circuit; uncheck it to create a one-way circuit
(STS and VT circuits only; VT tunnels are bidirectional).
•
Number of circuits—Type the number of circuits you want to create. If you enter more than 1, you
can use auto-ranging to create the additional circuits automatically. Otherwise, CTC returns to the
Circuit Source page after you create each circuit until you finish creating the number of circuits
specified here.
•
Auto Ranged—If selected, and you select the source and destination of one circuit, CTC
automatically determines the source and destination for the remaining Number of circuits and
creates the circuits. To determine the source and destination, CTC increments the most specific part
of the end points. An end point can be a port, an STS, or a VT/DS-1. If CTC runs out of choices, or
selects an end point that is already in use, CTC stops and allows you to either select a valid end point
or cancel. If you select a valid end point and continue, auto-ranging begins after you click Finish
for the current circuit.
•
Protected Drops—If this box is checked, CTC only displays protected cards and ports (1:1, 1:N, 1+1
or BLSR protection) as choices for the circuit source and destination.

(UPSR circuits only) Set the UPSR Selector Defaults:
•
Revertive—Check this box if you want traffic to revert to the working path when the conditions that
diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If Revertive is not chosen, traffic remains on the protect
path after the switch.
•
Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, set the reversion time. This is the amount of time that will
elapse before the traffic reverts to the working path. Traffic can revert when conditions causing the
switch are cleared (the default reversion time is 5 minutes).
•
SF threshold—Set the UPSR path-level signal failure bit error rate (BER) thresholds (STS circuits
only).
•
SD threshold—Set the UPSR path-level signal degrade BER thresholds (STS circuits only).
•
Switch on PDI-P—Check this box if you want traffic to switch when an STS payload defect
indicator is received (STS circuits only).

(described in detail in the next step) are available:
Step 11
•
Using Required Nodes/Spans—If selected, you can specify nodes and spans to include or exclude in
the CTC-generated circuit route.
•
Review Route Before Creation—If selected, you can review and edit the circuit route before the
circuit is created.
If you want the circuit routed on a protected path, select Fully Protected Path. Otherwise, go to
Step 12. CTC creates a primary and alternate circuit route (virtual UPSR) based on the nodal diversity
option you select:
•
Nodal Diversity Required—Ensures that the primary and alternate paths within path-protected mesh
network (PPMN) portions of the complete circuit path are nodally diverse. (For information about
PPMN, see the “Path-Protected Mesh Networks” section on page 5-50.)
•
Nodal Diversity Desired—Specifies that node diversity should be attempted, but if node diversity is
not possible, CTC creates link diverse paths for the PPMN portion of the complete circuit path.
•
Link Diversity Only—Specifies that only link-diverse primary and alternate paths for PPMN
portions of the complete circuit path are needed. The paths may be node-diverse, but CTC does not
check for node diversity.

When you click Finish, CTC creates the circuit and returns to the Circuits window. If you entered more
than 1 in Number of Circuits in the Circuit Attributes dialog box in Step 3, the Circuit Source dialog box
is displayed so you can create the remaining circuits. If Auto Ranged is checked, CTC automatically
creates the number of sequential circuits that you entered in Number of Circuits. Otherwise, go on to
Step 13.
Step 13
If you are provisioning circuits before installing the traffic cards and enabling their ports, you must

Step 5
Click Next.
Step 6
In the Circuit Source dialog box, set the circuit source.
Options include node, slot, port, STS, and VT/DS-1. The options that display depend on the circuit type
and circuit properties you selected in Step 3 and the cards installed in the node. For example, if you are
creating a VT circuit or tunnel, only nodes with XCVT and XC10G cards are displayed. For Ethergroups,
see the “Ethernet Circuit Configurations” section on page 9-6.
Click Use Secondary Source if you need to create a UPSR bridge/selector circuit entry point in a
multivendor UPSR.
Step 7
Click Next.
Step 8
In the Circuit Destination dialog box, enter the appropriate information for the circuit destination. If the
circuit is bidirectional, you can click Use Secondary Destination if you need to create a UPSR
bridge/selector circuit destination point in a multivendor UPSR. (To add secondary destinations to
unidirectional circuits, see “Create a Unidirectional Circuit with Multiple Drops” procedure on
page 6-8.)
Step 9
Click Next.
Step 10
Under Circuit Routing Preferences (Figure 6-2), de-select Route Automatically.
Step 11
If you want the circuit routed on a protected path, select Fully Protected Path. Otherwise, go to Step
12. CTC creates a primary and alternate circuit route (virtual UPSR) based on the nodal diversity option
you select:
•
Nodal Diversity Required—Ensures that the primary and alternate paths within path-protected mesh
network (PPMN) portions of the complete circuit path are nodally diverse. (For information about
PPMN, see the “Path-Protected Mesh Networks” section on page 5-50.)
•
Nodal Diversity Desired—Specifies that node diversity should be attempted, but if node diversity is
not possible, CTC creates link diverse paths for the PPMN portion of the complete circuit path.
•
Link Diversity Only—Specifies that only link-diverse primary and alternate paths for PPMN
portions of the complete circuit path are needed. The paths may be node-diverse, but CTC does not
check for node diversity.
Step 12
Click Next. The Route Review and Edit panel is displayed for you to manually route the circuit. The
green arrows pointing from the source node to other network nodes indicate spans that are available for
routing the circuit.
Step 13
Set the circuit route:
a.
Click the arrowhead of the span you want the circuit to travel.
b.
If you want to change the source STS or VT, change it in the Source STS or Source VT fields.

c.
Click Add Span.
The span is added to the Included Spans list and the span arrow turns blue.
Step 14
Repeat Step 13 until the circuit is provisioned from the source to the destination node.
When provisioning a protected circuit, you only need to select one path of BLSR or 1+1 spans from the
source to the drop. If you select unprotected spans as part of the path, select two different paths for the
unprotected segment of the path.
Step 15
When the circuit is provisioned, click Finish.
If you entered more than 1 in Number of Circuits in the Circuit Attributes dialog box in Step 3, the
Circuit Source dialog box is displayed so you can create the remaining circuits.
Step 16
If you are provisioning circuits before installing the traffic cards and enabling their ports, you must
install the cards and enable the ports before circuits will carry traffic. For procedures, see the “Install
Optical, Electrical, and Ethernet Cards” procedure on page 1-48 and the “Enable Ports” procedure on
page 3-10.
6.3 Creating Multiple Drops for Unidirectional Circuits
Unidirectional circuits can have multiple drops for use in broadcast circuit schemes. In broadcast
scenarios, one source transmits traffic to multiple destinations, but traffic is not returned back to the
source.
When you create a unidirectional circuit, the card that does not have its backplane Rx input terminated
with a valid input signal generates a loss of service (LOS) alarm. To mask the alarm, create an alarm
profile suppressing the LOS alarm and apply it to the port that does not have its Rx input terminated.
See the “Creating and Modifying Alarm Profiles” section on page 10-9 for information.
Procedure: Create a Unidirectional Circuit with Multiple Drops
Step 1
Use the “Create an Automatically Routed Circuit” procedure on page 6-2 to create a circuit. To make it
unidirectional, clear the Bidirectional check box on the Circuit Creation dialog box.
Step 2
After the unidirectional circuit is created, in node or network view select the Circuits tab.
Step 3
Select the unidirectional circuit and click Edit (or double-click the circuit).
Step 4
On the Drops tab of the Edit Circuits dialog box, click Create or, if Show Detailed Map is selected,
right-click a node on the circuit map and select Add Drop.
Step 5
On the Define New Drop dialog box, complete the appropriate fields to define the new circuit drop:
Node, Slot, Port, STS, VT (if applicable).
Step 6
Click OK.
Step 7
If you need to create additional drops, repeat Steps 4 – 6. If not, click Close.
Step 8
Verify the new drops on the Edit Circuit map:
•
If Show Detailed Map is selected: a “D” enclosed by circles appears on each side of the node
graphic.
•
If Show Detailed Map is not selected: “Drop #1, Drop #2” appear under the node graphic.

Creating Monitor Circuits
6.4 Creating Monitor Circuits
You can set up secondary circuits to monitor traffic on primary bidirectional circuits. Figure 6-5 shows
an example of a monitor circuit. At Node 1, a VT1.5 is dropped from Port 1 of an EC1-12 card. To
monitor the VT1.5 traffic, test equipment is plugged into Port 2 of the EC1-12 card and a monitor circuit
to Port 2 is provisioned in CTC. Circuit monitors are one-way. The monitor circuit in Figure 6-5 is used
to monitor VT1.5 traffic received by Port 1 of the EC1-12 card.
Note
Monitor circuits cannot be used with EtherSwitch circuits.
Note
For unidirectional circuits, create a drop to the port where the test equipment is attached.

Click the circuit you want to edit, then click Edit.
Step 4
On the Edit Circuit window, click the UPSR tab.
Step 5
Edit the UPSR selectors:
•
Reversion Time—Controls whether traffic reverts to the working path when conditions that diverted
it to the protect path are repaired. If you select Never, traffic does not revert. Selecting a time sets
the amount of time that will elapse before traffic reverts to the working path.
•
SF Ber Level—Sets the UPSR signal failure BER threshold (STS circuits only).
•
SD Ber Level—Sets the UPSR signal degrade BER threshold (STS circuits only).
•
PDI-P—When checked, traffic switches if an STS payload defect indication is received (STS
circuits only).
•
Switch State—Switches circuit traffic between the working and protect paths. The color of the
Working Path and Protect Path fields indicates the active path. Normally, the Working Path is green
and the Protect Path is purple. If the Protect Path is green, working traffic has switched to the Protect
Path.
CLEAR—Removes a previously-set switch command.
LOCKOUT OF PROTECT—Prevents traffic from switching to the protect circuit path.
FORCE TO WORKING—Forces traffic to switch to the working circuit path, regardless of whether
the path is error free.

Circuits and Tunnels
Creating a Path Trace
FORCE TO PROTECT—Forces traffic to switch to the protect circuit path, regardless of whether
the path is error free.
MANUAL TO WORKING—Switches traffic to the working circuit path when the working path is
error free.
MANUAL TO PROTECT—Switches traffic to the protect circuit path when the protect path is error
free.
Caution
Step 6
The FORCE and LOCKOUT commands override normal protection switching mechanisms.
Applying these commands incorrectly can cause traffic outages.
Click Apply, then check that the selector switches as you expect.
6.7 Creating a Path Trace
The SONET J1 Path Trace is a repeated, fixed-length string comprised of 64 consecutive J1 bytes. You
can use the string to monitor interruptions or changes to circuit traffic. Table 6-1 shows the ONS 15454
cards that support path trace. DS-1 and DS-3 cards can transmit and receive the J1 field, while the EC-1,
OC-3, OC-48AS, and OC-192 can only receive it. Cards not listed in the table do not support the J1 byte.

The J1 path trace transmits a repeated, fixed-length string. If the string received at a circuit drop port
does not match the string the port expects to receive, an alarm is raised. Two path trace modes are
available:
•
Automatic—The receiving port assumes the first J1 string it receives is the baseline J1 string.
•
Manual—The receiving port uses a string that you manually enter as the baseline J1 string.
Table 6-2 shows the general flow for setting up the J1 path trace. To set up a path trace on an ONS 15454
circuit, follow the steps in the “Create a J1 Path Trace” procedure on page 6-13.

field is left blank, the J1 transmits an empty string.
Step 10
If you will set Path Trace Mode to Manual in Step 11, enter the string that the drop port should expect
to receive in the New Expected String field. This string must match the New Transmit String entered for
the source port in Step 5. (When you click Apply in Step 12, this string becomes the Current Expected
String.)
Step 11
In the Path Trace Mode field, select one of the following options:
•
Auto—Assumes the first string received from the source port is the baseline string. An alarm is
raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
•

•
XCs perform STS switching
•
XCVTs and XC10Gs perform STS and VT1.5 switching
XCs and XCVTs have capacity to terminate 288 STSs, or 144 STS cross-connections (each STS
cross-connection uses two STS ports on the cross-connect card STS matrix). XC10Gs have capacity for
1152 STSs, or 576 STS cross-connections. Table 6-3 shows STS capacities for the XC, XCVT, and
XC10G cards.

6.8.1 VT1.5 Cross-Connects
XCVTs and XC10Gs can map up to 24 STSs for VT1.5 traffic. Because one STS can carry 28 VT1.5s,
the XCVT and XC10G cards can terminate up to 672 VT1.5s, or 336 VT1.5 cross-connects. However,
to terminate 336 VT1.5 cross-connects:
•
Each STS mapped for VT1.5 traffic must carry 28 VT1.5 circuits. If you assign each VT1.5 circuit
to a different STS, the XCVT and XC10G VT1.5 cross-connect capacity will be reached after you
create 12 VT1.5 circuits.
•
ONS 15454s must be in a bidirectional line switched ring (BLSR). Source and drop nodes in UPSR
or 1+1 (linear) protection have capacity for only 224 VT1.5 cross-connects because an additional
STS is used for the protect path.
Table 6-4 shows the VT1.5 capacities for ONS 15454 cross-connect cards. All capacities assume each
VT1.5-mapped STS carries 28 VT1.5 circuits.

Unless you create VT tunnels (see the “VT Tunnels” section on page 6-19), VT1.5 circuits use STSs on
the XCVT/XC10G VT matrix at each node through which the circuit passes.
•
Two STSs are used at each node in the Figure 6-9 example, and three STSs are used at each node in
the Figure 6-11 example.

•
In the Figure 6-10 example, three STSs are used at the source and drop nodes and four STSs are used
at pass-through nodes. In Figure 6-12, six STSs are used at the source and drop nodes and four
STSs at the pass-through nodes.
6.8.2 VT Tunnels
To maximize VT matrix resources, you can tunnel VT1.5 circuits through ONS 15454 pass-through
nodes (nodes that are not a circuit source or drop). VT1.5 tunnels provide two benefits:
•
They allow you to route VT1.5 circuits through ONS 15454s that have XC cards. (VT1.5 circuits
require XCVT or XC10G cards at circuit source and drop nodes.)
•
When tunneled through nodes with XCVT or XC10G cards, VT1.5 tunnels do not use VT matrix
capacity, thereby freeing the VT matrix resources for other VT1.5 circuits.
Figure 6-13 shows a VT tunnel through the XCVT and XC10G matrices. No VT1.5-mapped STSs are
used by the tunnel, which can carry 28 VT1.5s. However, the tunnel does use two STS matrix ports on
each node through which it passes.

Figure 6-14 shows a six-node ONS 15454 ring with two VT tunnels. One tunnel carries VT1.5 circuits
from Node 1 to Node 3. The second tunnel carries VT1.5 circuits from Node 1 to Node 4. Table 6-5
shows the VT1.5-mapped STS usage at each node in a ring based on protection scheme and use of VT
tunnels. In the Figure 6-14 example, the circuit travels west through Nodes 2, 3, and 4. Subsequently,
VT-mapped STS usage at these nodes is greater than at Nodes 5 and 6.

When planning VT1.5 circuits, weigh the benefits of using tunnels with the need to maximize STS
capacity. For example, a VT1.5 tunnel between Node 1 and Node 4 passing (transparently) through
Nodes 2 and Node 3 is advantageous if a full STS is used for Node 1 – Node 4 VT1.5 traffic (that is, the
number of VT1.5 circuits between these nodes is close to 28). A VT tunnel is required if:
•
Node 2 or Node 3 have XC cards, or
•
All VT1.5-mappable STSs at Node 2 and Node 3 are in use.
However, if the Node 1 – Node 4 tunnel will carry few VT1.5 circuits, creating a regular VT1.5 circuit
between Nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4 might maximize STS capacity.
When you create a VT1.5 circuit, CTC determines whether a tunnel already exists between source and
drop nodes. If a tunnel exists, CTC checks the tunnel capacity. If the capacity is sufficient, CTC routes
the circuit on the existing tunnel. If a tunnel does not exist, or if an existing tunnel does not have

Creating DCC Tunnels
sufficient capacity, CTC displays a dialog box asking whether you want to create a tunnel. Before you
create the tunnel, review the existing tunnel availability, keeping in mind future bandwidth needs. In
some cases, you may want to manually route a circuit rather than create a new tunnel.
6.9 Creating DCC Tunnels
SONET provides four data communications channels (DCCs) for network element operations,
administration, maintenance, and provisioning: one on the SONET Section layer and three on the
SONET Line layer. The ONS 15454 uses the Section DCC (SDCC) for ONS 15454 management and
provisioning.
You can use the Line DCCs (LDCCs) and the SDCC (when the SDCC is not used for ONS 15454 DCC
terminations) to tunnel third-party SONET equipment across ONS 15454 networks. A DCC tunnel
end-point is defined by Slot, Port, and DCC, where DCC can be either the SDCC, Tunnel 1, Tunnel 2,
or Tunnel 3 (LDCCs). You can link an SDCC to an LDCC (Tunnel 1, Tunnel 2, or Tunnel 3), and an
LDCC to an SDCC. You can also link LDCCs to LDCCs and link SDCCs to SDCCs. To create a DCC
tunnel, you connect the tunnel end points from one ONS 15454 optical port to another.
Each ONS 15454 can support up to 32 DCC tunnel connections. Table 6-6 shows the DCC tunnels that
you can create.

Figure 6-15 shows a DCC tunnel example. Third-party equipment is connected to OC-3 cards at Node
1/Slot 3/Port 1 and Node 3/Slot 3/Port 1. Each ONS 15454 node is connected by OC-48 trunk cards. In
the example, three tunnel connections are created, one at Node 1 (OC-3 to OC-48), one at Node 2 (OC-48
to OC-48), and one at Node 3 (OC-48 to OC-3).

When you create DCC tunnels, keep the following guidelines in mind:
•
Each ONS 15454 can have up to 32 DCC tunnel connections.
•
Each ONS 15454 can have up to 10 SDCC terminations.
•
An SDCC that is terminated cannot be used as a DCC tunnel end-point.
•
An SDCC that is used as an DCC tunnel end-point cannot be terminated.
•
All DCC tunnel connections are bidirectional.
Procedure: Provision a DCC Tunnel
Step 1
Log into an ONS 15454 that is connected to the non-ONS 15454 network.
Step 2
Click the Provisioning > Sonet DCC tabs.
Step 3
Beneath the DCC Tunnel Connections area (bottom right of the screen), click Create.
Step 4
In the Create DCC Tunnel Connection dialog box (Figure 6-16), select the tunnel end points from the
From (A) and To (B) lists.
Note
You cannot use the SDCC listed under SDCC Terminations (left side of the window) for
tunnel connections. These are used for ONS 15454 optical connections.

DCC provisioning is now complete for one node. Repeat these steps for all slots/ports that are part of
the DCC tunnel, including any intermediate nodes that will pass traffic from third party equipment. The
procedure is confirmed when the third-party network elements successfully communicate over the
newly-established DCC tunnel.

Card Provisioning
This chapter provides Cisco ONS 15454 procedures for:
Note
•
Changing the default transmission parameters for electrical (EC-1, DS-N) and optical (OC-N) cards,
including provisioning OC-N cards for SDH
•
Setting performance monitoring (PM) thresholds, including intermediate path performance
monitoring
•
Provisioning the Alarm Interface Controller card
•
Converting the DS1-14 and DS3-12 cards from 1:1 to 1:N protection
Ethernet card provisioning is described in Chapter 9, “Ethernet Operation.”
Because much of the electrical and optical card provisioning involves PM thresholds, see Chapter 8,
“Performance Monitoring,” for definitions and general information about ONS 15454 performance
monitoring parameters. In addition, refer to the Telcordia GR-1230-CORE, GR-820-CORE, and
GR-253-CORE documents. The default thresholds delivered with ONS 15454 cards are based on
specifications contained in those documents.
Note
For information about creating protection groups, see the “Creating Protection Groups” section on
page 3-9. For circuit creation procedures, see Chapter 6, “Circuits and Tunnels.”
7.1 Performance Monitoring Thresholds
ONS 15454 card default thresholds are based on GR-253-CORE and GR-820-CORE. If you change their
settings, the following rules apply:
•
The minimum threshold that you can set is 1.
•
If you set a threshold to 0, no threshold crossing alert (TCA) is issued.
•
You can set thresholds to any DS-N or OC-N maximum. However, CTC does not perform range
checking. Setting a threshold to a value greater than what is logically possible is the same as setting
the threshold to zero. No TCA will be issued.

7.2 Provisioning Electrical Cards
The ONS 15454 electrical cards (DS1-14, DS1N-14, DS3-12, DS3N-12, DS3E1-12, DS3EN-12,
DS3XM-6, and EC1-12) are pre-provisioned with settings that you can modify to manage transmission
quality. When you open a card in CTC and select the Provisioning tab, the following subtabs are
commonly displayed:
•
Line—Sets line setup parameters, such as line coding and line length. This is also where you put
ports in and out of service.
•
Line Threshold—Sets the line-level PM thresholds.
•
Elect Path Threshold—Sets the path-level PM thresholds for electrical (DS-3/DS-1) traffic.
•
SONET Threshold—Sets the path-level PM thresholds for (STS/VT1.5) traffic.
•
Alarming—Sets alarm profiles for individual ports and suppresses alarms. See Chapter 10, “Alarm
Monitoring and Management,” for information about alarm profiles and alarm suppression.
Table 7-1 provides an overview of DS-1, DS-3, DS3E, and DS3XM parameters (an X means the item is
available for the card). EC1-12 card parameters are shown in Table 7-6 on page 7-15.

7.3.2 Provisioning OC-N Cards for SDH
You can provision the ONS 15454 OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48 cards to support either SONET or SDH over
SONET signals. When provisioned for SDH, each OC-N port drops and inserts STM traffic in
unprotected or 1+1 protection mode. Each STM-1 signal is mapped as a 155 Mbps concatenated signal
(STS-3c) for transparent transport over a SONET network. The original STM-1 traffic may be handed
off as an STM-1 or OC-3.
Because SDH and SONET frame format and size are nearly identical, their line speeds meet, starting at
155 Mbps. For example, at the STM-1/OC-3 level, the ONS 15454 performs section and line overhead
conversions and maps the 261x9 byte VC-4 into an STS-3c for transparent transport across the SONET
domain. At the far end, the STS-3c carrying the original VC-4 is remapped into an STM-1 for handoff
to an SDH network element (node). Table 7-9 shows the SDH over SONET mapping for the ONS 15454
OC-N cards.

The ONS 15454 performs section, line overhead, and pointer conversions between SDH and SONET.
However, to ensure operability, the following requirements must be met:
•
The embedded payload must be compatible on both sides and require no conversion of any kind.
Examples of such payloads include concatenated ATM or Packet over SONET/SDH signals.
•
The path overhead (POH) must be compatible on both sides and require no conversion of any kind.
Each overhead byte must be processed identically or simultaneously ignored. Key POH bytes to
consider are the J1 (path indicator) and C2 (payload format).
•
You cannot enable intermediate path protection monitoring (IPPM) on OC-12 and OC-48 ports that
are enabled for SDH.
Most SONET and SDH routers and ATM switches can be configured to meet these requirements.
Procedure: Provision an OC-N Card for SDH
Step 1
Log into the node and double-click the OC-N card.
Step 2
Click the Provisioning > Line tabs.
Step 3
Under Type, choose SDH.
Step 4
Click Apply.

Chapter 7
Card Provisioning
Provisioning IPPM
7.4 Provisioning IPPM
Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring (IPPM) allows you to transparently monitor traffic
originating on DS-1, DS-3, DS3E and DS3XM cards (Path Terminating Equipment) as it passes through
EC-1, OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, and OC-192 cards (Line Terminating Equipment). To use IPPM, you create
the STS circuit on the DS-N cards, then enable IPPM on the EC-1 or OC-N cards that carry the circuit.
Note
For Release 3.0 and later, IPPM is enabled for near-end (originating) traffic only. Far-end
(terminating) IPPM will be enabled in a future release.
For example, suppose you have an STS circuit that originates and terminates on DS-N cards at Nodes 1
and 4. You want to monitor the circuit as it passes through OC-N cards at Nodes 2 and 3. To do this, you
enable IPPM on the OC-N card by selecting the appropriate STS, in this example, STS 1 (Figure 7-3).
Figure 7-3
IPPM provisioned for STS 1 on an OC-12 card
After enabling IPPM, performance is displayed on the Performance tab for the OC-48 card. IPPM
enables per-path statistics for STS CV-P (coding violations), STS ES-P (errored seconds), STS FC-P
(failure count), STS SES-P (severely errored seconds), and STS UAS-P (unavailable seconds). Only one
STS per port can be monitored at one time. See Chapter 8, “Performance Monitoring” for a definition of
every parameter.

Chapter 7
Card Provisioning
Provisioning the Alarm Interface Controller
Procedure: Enable Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring
Step 1
If the STS circuit does not exist, create the circuit. (The circuit must pass through the EC-1 or OC-N card
before you can enable IPPM on the circuit.)
Step 2
In CTC, open the card view of an EC-1 or OC-N card that carries the circuit.
Step 3
Select the Provisioning > STS tabs.
Step 4
Click Enable IPPM for the STS you want to monitor.
Step 5
Click Apply.
7.5 Provisioning the Alarm Interface Controller
The Alarm Interface Controller (AIC) card can be provisioned to receive input from, or send output to,
external devices wired to the ONS 15454 backplane. (For detailed specifications about the AIC, refer to
the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide.) You can provision the AIC to:
•
Generate CTC alarms based on events such as heating or cooling equipment failure, fire alarms,
smoke detection, and other environmental changes that can damage ONS 15454 equipment. These
are called external alarms.
•
Turn external devices on or off based on a CTC alarm. For example, you can provision the AIC to
turn on an audio or visual device, such as a bell or light, when a critical ONS 15454 alarm occurs.
These triggers are called external controls.
Figure 7-4 shows the flow to and from external devices provisioned through the AIC.

Provisioning the AIC card provides a “virtual wires” option used to route external alarms and controls
from different nodes to one or more alarm collection centers. In Figure 7-5, smoke detectors at Nodes 1,
2, 3, and 4 are assigned to Virtual Wire #1, and Virtual Wire #1 is provisioned as the trigger for an
external bell at Node 1.

7.5.2 Provisioning AIC Orderwire
The AIC provides RJ-11 jacks to allow onsite personnel to communicate with one another using standard
phone sets. The AIC Local and Express orderwire channels are carried on the SONET Orderwire
overhead:
•
Local orderwire is carried on the SONET Section layer E1 byte. Regenerators between ONS 15454
nodes terminate the channel.
•
Express orderwire is carried on the E2 byte of the SONET Line layer.
If regenerators are not used between ONS 15454 nodes, local or express AIC orderwire channels can be
used. If regenerators exist, use the Express orderwire channel. You can provision up to four ONS 15454
OC-N ports for each orderwire path.
Caution
When provisioning orderwire for ONS 15454s residing in a ring, do not provision a complete
orderwire loop. For example, a four-node ring typically has east and west ports provisioned at all four
nodes. However, to prevent orderwire loops, provision two orderwire ports (east and west) at all but
one of the ring nodes.
Procedure: Provision AIC Orderwire
Tip
Before you begin, make a list of the ONS 15454 slots and ports that require orderwire
communication.
Step 1
In CTC, open the AIC card view.
Step 2
Select the orderwire subtab, Local Orderwire or Express Orderwire, appropriate to the orderwire path
that you want to create.
The Local Orderwire subtab is shown in Figure 7-7 on page 7-30. Provisioning procedures are the same
for both types of orderwire.

to move them to the Selected Ports column.
Step 4
If needed, adjust the Tx and Rx dBm by moving the slider to the right or left for the headset type
(four-wire or two-wire) that you will use. In general, you should not need to adjust the dBm.
Step 5
Click Apply.
7.5.3 Using the AIC Orderwire
The AIC orderwire channels function as a party line. Anyone plugging a phone set into an AIC orderwire
channel can communicate with all participants on the connected orderwire. The AIC does not provide
private, point-to-point connections. To alert participants, press the AIC Call button to activate a buzzer
and illuminate the RING LED on AICs at all connected nodes.
7.6 Converting DS-1 and DS-3 Cards From 1:1 to 1:N Protection
The ONS 15454 provides three protection options for DS1-14 and DS3-12 cards: unprotected, 1:1, and
1:N (N=5 or less). Changing protection from 1:1 to 1:N increases the available bandwidth because two
of the three cards used for protection in the 1:1 protection group become working cards in the 1:N group.
When setting up 1:N protection, install the DS1N-14 or DS3N-12 card in Slot 3 or 15 on the same side
of the ONS 15454 as the cards it protects. Slot 3 protects cards in Slots 1 - 2 and 4 - 6. Slot 15 protects
Slots 12 - 14 and 16 - 17. A DS1N-14 or DS3N-12 card installed in Slot 3 or 15 can protect up to five
DS1-14 or DS3-12 cards. If you install a DS3N-12 or DS1N-14 card in another slot, it behaves like a
normal DS-1 or DS-3 card.

The Ethernet cards are the only cards without the Clear button option.
8.2 Changing Thresholds
Thresholds are used to set error levels for each PM. You can program PM threshold ranges from the
Provisioning > Threshold tabs on the card view. For procedures on provisioning card thresholds, such as
line, path, and SONET thresholds, see Chapter 7, “Card Provisioning.”
During the accumulation cycle, if the current value of a performance monitoring parameter reaches or
exceeds its corresponding threshold value, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is generated by the node and
sent to CTC. TCAs provide early detection of performance degradation. When a threshold is crossed,
the node continues to count the errors during a given accumulation period. If 0 is entered as the threshold
value, the performance monitoring parameter is disabled. Figure 8-7 shows the Provisioning >
Threshold tabs for an OC-48 card.

Change the threshold if the default value does not satisfy your error monitoring needs. For example,
customers with a critical DS1 installed for 911 calls must guarantee the best quality of service on the
line; therefore, they lower all thresholds so that the slightest error raises a TCA.
8.3 Enabling Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring
Intermediate-path performance monitoring (IPPM) allows transparent monitoring of a constituent
channel of an incoming transmission signal by a node that does not terminate that channel. Many large
ONS 15454 networks only use line terminating equipment (LTE) not path terminating equipment (PTE).
Table 8-1 shows ONS 15454 cards that are considered LTEs. Figure 8-8 shows the Provisioning > STS
tabs for an OC-3 card.

STS tab for enabling IPPM
Software R3.0 and higher allows LTE cards to monitor near-end PM data on individual STS payloads by
enabling IPPM. After enabling IPPM provisioning on the line card, service providers can monitor large
amounts of STS traffic through intermediate nodes, thus making troubleshooting and maintenance
activities more efficient.
IPPM occurs only on STS paths which have IPPM enabled, and TCAs are raised only for PM parameters
on the selected IPPM paths. The monitored IPPMs are STS CV-P, STS ES-P, STS SES-P, STS UAS-P,
and STS FC-P. For detailed information about provisioning cards and the procedure for enabling IPPM,
see Chapter 7, “Card Provisioning.”
Note
The far-end IPPM feature is not supported in Software R3.1. However, SONET path PMs can be
monitored by logging into the far-end node directly.
The ONS 15454 performs IPPM by examining the overhead in the monitored path and by reading all of

Pointer Justification Count Parameters
8.4 Pointer Justification Count Parameters
Pointers are used to compensate for frequency and phase variations. Pointer justification counts indicate
timing errors on SONET networks. There are positive (PPJC) and negative (NPJC) pointer justification
count parameters. PPJC is a count of path-detected (PPJC-Pdet) or path-generated (PPJC-Pgen) positive
pointer justifications. NPJC is a count of path-detected (NPJC-Pdet) or path-generated (NPJC-Pgen)
negative pointer justifications depending on the specific PM name.
Figure 8-9 shows pointer justification count parameters on the Performance Monitoring screen. You can
enable PPJC and NPJC performance monitoring parameters for LTE cards. See Table 8-1 on page 8-10
for a list of Cisco ONS 15454 LTE cards.
For pointer justification count definitions, see the “EC1 Card Performance Monitoring Parameters”
section on page 8-14, the “OC-3 Card Performance Monitoring Parameters” section on page 8-33, or the
“OC-12, OC-48, and OC-192 Card Performance Monitoring Parameters” section on page 8-37
depending on the cards in use.

Pointer justification counts
Pointers provide a way to align the phase variations in STS and VT payloads. The STS payload pointer is
located in the H1 and H2 bytes of the line overhead. Clocking differences are measured by the offset in
bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the STS synchronous payload envelope (SPE) called the J1
byte. Clocking differences that exceed the normal range of 0 to 782 can cause data loss.
A consistent pointer justification count indicates clock synchronization problems between nodes.
Detected and generated counts should be equal. A difference between the counts means the node
transmitting the original pointer justification has timing variations with the node detecting and
transmitting this count. Positive pointer adjustments occur when the frame rate of the SPE is too slow in
relation to the rate of the STS 1.

Definition
CV-S
Section Coding Violation (CV-S) is a count of BIP errors detected at the
section-layer (i.e. using the B1 byte in the incoming SONET signal). Up
to eight section BIP errors can be detected per STS-N frame; each error
increments the current CV-S second register.
ES-S
Section Errored Seconds (ES-S) is a count of the number of seconds when
at least one section-layer BIP error was detected or an SEF or loss of
signal (LOS) defect was present.
SES-S
Section Severely Errored Seconds (SES-S) is a count of the seconds when
K (see GR-253-CORE for value) or more section-layer BIP errors were
detected or a severely errored frame (SEF) or LOS defect was present.
SEFS-S
Section Severely Errored Framing Seconds (SEFS-S) is a count of the
seconds when an SEF defect was present. An SEF defect is expected
during most seconds where an LOS or loss of frame (LOF) defect is
present. However, there may be situations when that is not the case, and
the SEFS-S parameter is only incremented based on the presence of the
SEF defect.

identifier mismatch (TIM-P) failure is declared. A failure event also
begins if the STS PTE monitoring the path supports ERDI-P for that path.
The failure event ends when these failures are cleared.
STS SES-P
Near-End STS Path Severely Errored Seconds (SES-P) is a count of the
seconds when K (2400) or more STS path BIP errors were detected. STS

times service switches back to the protection card. The PSC PM is only
applicable if revertive line-level protection switching is used.
Note
PSD
BLSR is not supported on the OC-3 card; therefore, the PSC-W,
PSC-S, and PSC-R PMs do not increment.
Protection Switching Duration (PSD) applies to the length of time, in
seconds, that service is carried on another line. For a working line, PSD
is a count of the number of seconds that service was carried on the
protection line.
For the protection line, PSD is a count of the seconds that the line was
used to carry service. The PSD PM is only applicable if revertive
line-level protection switching is used.

SONET path PMs will not count unless IPPM is enabled. For additional information, see the
“Enable Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring” procedure on page 7-25. The far-end
IPPM feature is not supported in Software R3.1. However, SONET path PMs can be monitored
by logging into the far-end node directly.
STS CV-P
Near-End STS Path Coding Violations (CV-P) is a count of BIP errors
detected at the STS path layer (i.e., using the B3 byte). Up to eight BIP
errors can be detected per frame; each error increments the current CV-P
second register.
STS ES-P
Near-End STS Path Errored Seconds (ES-P) is a count of the seconds
when one or more STS path BIP errors were detected. An AIS-P defect
(or a lower-layer, traffic-related, near-end defect) or an LOP-P defect can
also cause an STS ES-P.
STS FC-P
Near-End STS Path Failure Counts (FC-P) is a count of the number of
near-end STS path failure events. A failure event begins with an AIS-P
failure, an LOP-P failure, a UNEQ-P failure, or a TIM-P failure is
declared, or if the STS PTE that is monitoring the path supports ERDI-P
for that path. The failure event ends when these failures are cleared.
STS SES-P
Near-End STS Path Severely Errored Seconds (SES-P) is a count of the
seconds when K (2400) or more STS path BIP errors were detected. An
AIS-P defect (or a lower-layer, traffic-related, near-end defect) or an
LOP-P defect can also cause an STS SES-P.
STS UAS-P
Near-End STS Path Unavailable Seconds (UAS-P) is a count of the
seconds when the STS path was unavailable. An STS path becomes
unavailable when ten consecutive seconds occur that qualify as SES-Ps,
and it continues to be unavailable until ten consecutive seconds occur that
do not qualify as SES-Ps.

PSC (BLSR)
For a protect line in a 2-fiber ring, Protection Switching Count (PSC)
refers to the number of times a protection switch has occurred either to a
particular span’s line protection or away from a particular span’s line
protection. Therefore, if a protection switch occurs on a 2-fiber BLSR, the
PSC of the protection span to which the traffic is switched will increment,
and when the switched traffic returns to its original working span from the
protect span, the PSC of the protect span will increment again.
PSC (1+1 protection)
In a 1 + 1 protection scheme for a working card, Protection Switching
Count (PSC) is a count of the number of times service switches from a
working card to a protection card plus the number of times service
switches back to the working card.
For a protection card, PSC is a count of the number of times service
switches to a working card from a protection card plus the number of
times service switches back to the protection card. The PSC PM is only
applicable if revertive line-level protection switching is used.
PSD
For an active protection line in a 2-fiber BLSR, Protection Switching
Duration (PSD) is a count of the number of seconds that the protect line
is carrying working traffic following the failure of the working line. PSD
increments on the active protect line and PSD-W increments on the failed
working line.
PSC-W
For a working line in a 2-fiber BLSR, Protection Switching
Count-Working (PSC-W) is a count of the number of times traffic
switches away from the working capacity in the failed line and back to the
working capacity after the failure is cleared. PSC-W increments on the
failed working line and PSC increments on the active protect line.
For a working line in a 4-fiber BLSR, PSC-W is a count of the number of
times service switches from a working line to a protection line plus the
number of times it switches back to the working line. PSC-W increments
on the failed line and PSC-R or PSC-S increments on the active protect
line.
PSD-W
For a working line in a 2-fiber BLSR, Protection Switching
Duration-Working (PSD-W) is a count of the number of seconds that

Ethernet Operation
The Cisco ONS 15454 integrates Ethernet into a SONET time-division multiplexing (TDM) platform.
Unlike traditional transport products, which map Ethernet frames directly over dedicated TDM
bandwidth, the ONS 15454 incorporates layer 2 switching to allow more efficient data transport over the
existing SONET backbone.
This chapter describes the Ethernet capabilities of the ONS 15454, including:
•
Ethernet cards
•
Multicard and Single-card Etherswitch
•
Ethernet circuit combinations and configurations
•
VLAN and IEEE 802.1Q support
•
Spanning tree and IEEE 802.1D support
•
Ethernet performance and maintenance screens
•
Ethernet alarm thresholds (RMON)
9.1 Ethernet Cards
The ONS 15454 shelf assembly holds up to ten Ethernet cards in any multispeed slot. Ethernet cards
include the E100T-12, E100T-G, E1000-2 and E1000-2-G. The E100T-12 is the functional equivalent of
the E100T-G, and the E1000-2 is the functional equivalent of the E1000-2-G. An ONS 15454 using
XC10G cards requires the G versions of the Ethernet cards.
Ethernet card faceplates have two card-level LEDs and a pair of port-level LEDs next to each port.
Table 9-1

Description
Red FAIL LED
The red FAIL LED indicates that the card’s processor is not ready or a
catastrophic software failure occurred on the Ethernet card. As part of the
boot sequence, the FAIL LED is turned on until the software deems the card
operational.
Green ACT LED
A green ACT LED provides the operational status of the E100T-G. When the
ACT LED is green it indicates that the Ethernet card is active and the
software is operational.

9.1.1 E100T-12/E100T-G
E100T-12/E100T-G cards provide twelve switched, IEEE 802.3-compliant 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
ports. Ports detect the speed of an attached device by auto-negotiation and automatically connect at the
appropriate speed and duplex mode, either half or full duplex, and determine whether to enable or disable
flow control. An E100T-12/E100T-G card consumes 55 W, 1.46 AMPS, and 188 BTU/Hr.
9.1.2 E1000-2/E1000-2-G
E1000-2/E1000-2-G cards provides two switched, IEEE 802.3-compliant Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps)
ports that support full duplex operation. An E100T-12/E100T-G card consumes 60 W, 1.25 AMPS, and
205 BTU/Hr.
Gigabit interface converters (GBICs) are hot-swappable input/output devices that plug into a Gigabit
Ethernet (E1000-2 or E1000-2-G) card to link the port with the fiber-optic network and determine the
maximum distance that the Ethernet traffic will travel from the E1000-2/E1000-2-G card to the next
network device.
E1000-2/E1000-2-G cards support two types of standard Cisco GBICs: the IEEE 1000Base-SX
compliant 850 nm “short reach” and the IEEE 1000Base-LX compliant 1300 nm “long reach.” The 850
nm SX optics are designed for multimode fiber and distances up to 220 meters on 62.5 micron fiber and
up to 550 meters on 50 micron fiber. The 1300 nm LX optics are designed for single-mode fiber and
distances up to 5 kilometers.

Caution
E1000-2/E1000-2-G cards lose traffic for approximately 30 seconds when an ONS 15454 database
is restored. Traffic is lost during the period of spanning tree reconvergence. The CARLOSS alarm
will appear and clear during this period.
For detailed specifications of the Ethernet cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and
Maintenance Guide.
9.1.3 Port Provisioning for Ethernet Cards
This section explains how to provision Ethernet ports on an Ethernet card. Most provisioning requires
filling in two fields: Enabled and Mode. However, you can also map incoming traffic to a low priority or
a high priority queue using the Priority column, and you can enable spanning tree with the Stp Enabled
column. For more information about spanning tree, see the “Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1D)” section on
page 9-26. The Status column displays information about the port’s current operating mode, and the Stp
State column provides the current spanning tree status.
Procedure: Provision Ethernet Ports
Step 1
Display CTC and double-click the card graphic to open the Ethernet card.
Step 2
Choose the Provisioning > Port tabs.
Figure 9-2 shows the Provisioning tab with the Port function subtab selected.

Multicard and Single-Card EtherSwitch
Step 3
From the Port screen, choose the appropriate mode for each Ethernet port. Valid choices for the
E100T-12/E100T-G card are Auto, 10 Half, 10 Full, 100 Half, or 100 Full. Valid choices for the
E1000-2/E1000-2-G card are 1000 Full or Auto.
Both 1000 Full and Auto mode set the E1000-2 port to the 1000 Mbps and Full duplex operating mode;
however, flow control is disabled when 1000 Full is selected. Choosing Auto mode enables the E1000-2
card to autonegotiate flow control. Flow control is a mechanism that prevents network congestion by
ensuring that transmitting devices do not overwhelm receiving devices with data. The E1000-2 port
handshakes with the connected network device to determine if that device supports flow control.
Step 4
Click the Enabled checkbox(s) to activate the corresponding Ethernet port(s).
Step 5
Click Apply.
Your Ethernet ports are now provisioned and ready to be configured for VLAN membership.
Step 6
Repeat this procedure for all other cards that will be in the VLAN.
9.2 Multicard and Single-Card EtherSwitch
The ONS 15454 enables multicard and single-card EtherSwitch modes. At the Ethernet card view in
CTC, click the Provisioning > Card tabs to reveal the Card Mode option.
9.2.1 Multicard EtherSwitch
Multicard EtherSwitch provisions two or more Ethernet cards to act as a single layer 2 switch. It supports
one STS-6c shared packet ring, two STS-3c shared packet rings, or six STS-1 shared packet rings. The
bandwidth of the single switch formed by the Ethernet cards matches the bandwidth of the provisioned
Ethernet circuit up to STS-6c worth of bandwidth.

Caution
Whenever you drop two STS-3c multicard EtherSwitch circuits onto an Ethernet card and delete only
the first circuit, you should not provision STS-1 circuits to the card without first deleting the
remaining STS-3c circuit. If you attempt to create a STS-1 circuit after deleting the first STS-3c
circuit, the STS-1 circuit will not work and no alarms will indicate this condition. To avoid this
condition, delete the second STS-3c prior to creating the STS-1 circuit.
9.2.2 Single-Card EtherSwitch
Single-card EtherSwitch allows each Ethernet card to remain a single switching entity within the ONS
15454 shelf. This option allows a full STS-12c worth of bandwidth between two Ethernet circuit points.

Ethernet circuits can link ONS nodes through point-to-point, shared packet ring, or hub and spoke
configurations. Two nodes usually connect with a point-to-point configuration. More than two nodes
usually connect with a shared packet ring configuration or a hub and spoke configuration. This section
includes procedures for creating these configurations and also explains how to create Ethernet manual
cross-connects. Ethernet manual cross-connects allow you to cross connect individual Ethernet circuits
to an STS channel on the ONS 15454 optical interface and also to bridge non-ONS SONET network
segments.
Note
Before making Ethernet connections, choose a circuit size from STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, or STS-12c.
Note
When making an STS-12c Ethernet circuit, Ethernet cards must be configured as single-card
EtherSwitch. Multi-card mode does not support STS-12c Ethernet circuits.
9.3.1 Point-to-Point Ethernet Circuits
The ONS 15454 can set up a point-to-point (straight) Ethernet circuit as Single-card or Multicard.
Multicard EtherSwitch limits bandwidth to STS-6c of bandwidth between two Ethernet circuit points,
but allows adding nodes and cards and making a shared packet ring. Single-card EtherSwitch allows a
full STS-12c of bandwidth between two Ethernet circuit points.

9.3.4 Ethernet Manual Cross-Connects
ONS 15454s require end-to-end CTC visibility between nodes for normal provisioning of Ethernet
circuits. When other vendors’ equipment sits between ONS 15454s, OSI/TARP- based equipment does
not allow tunneling of the ONS 15454 TCP/IP-based DCC. To circumvent this lack of continuous DCC,
the Ethernet circuit must be manually cross connected to an STS channel riding through the non-ONS
network. This allows an Ethernet circuit to run from ONS node to ONS node utilizing the non-ONS
network.
Note
Provisioning manual cross-connects for Multicard Etherswitch circuits is a separate procedure from
provisioning manual cross-connects for Single-card Etherswitch circuits. Both procedures are listed
below.

9.4 VLAN Support
Users can provision up to 509 VLANs with the CTC software. Specific sets of ports define the broadcast
domain for the ONS 15454. The definition of VLAN ports includes all Ethernet and packet-switched
SONET port types. All VLAN IP address discovery, flooding, and forwarding is limited to these ports.
The ONS 15454 802.1Q-based VLAN mechanism provides logical isolation of subscriber LAN traffic
over a common SONET transport infrastructure. Each subscriber has an Ethernet port at each site, and
each subscriber is assigned to a VLAN. Although the subscriber’s VLAN data flows over shared circuits,
the service appears to the subscriber as a private data transport.

The ONS 15454 works with Ethernet devices that support IEEE 802.1Q and those that do not support
IEEE 802.1Q. If a device attached to an ONS 15454 Ethernet port does not support IEEE 802.1Q, the
ONS 15454 only uses Q-tags internally. The ONS 15454 associates these Q-tags with specific ports.
With Ethernet devices that do not support IEEE 802.1Q, the ONS 15454 takes non-tagged Ethernet
frames that enter the ONS network and uses a Q-tag to assign the packet to the VLAN associated with
the ONS network’s ingress port. The receiving ONS node removes the Q-tag when the frame leaves the
ONS network (to prevent older Ethernet equipment from incorrectly identifying the 8021.Q packet as an
illegal frame). The ingress and egress ports on the ONS network must be set to Untag for the process to
occur. Untag is the default setting for ONS ports. Example #1 in Figure 9-20 illustrates Q-tag use only
within an ONS network.
With Ethernet devices that support IEEE 802.1Q, the ONS 15454 uses the Q-tag attached by the external
Ethernet devices. Packets enter the ONS network with an existing Q-tag; the ONS 15454 uses this same
Q-tag to forward the packet within the ONS network and leaves the Q-tag attached when the packet
leaves the ONS network. Set both entry and egress ports on the ONS network to Tagged for this process
to occur. Example #2 in Figure 9-20 illustrates the handling of packets that both enter and exit the ONS
network with a Q-tag.
For more information about setting ports to Tagged and Untag, see the “Provision Ethernet Ports for
VLAN Membership” procedure on page 9-24.

9.4.2 Priority Queuing (IEEE 802.1Q)
Note
IEEE 802.1Q was formerly IEEE 802.1P.
Networks without priority queuing handle all packets on a first-in-first-out basis. Priority queuing
reduces the impact of network congestion by mapping Ethernet traffic to different priority levels. The
ONS 15454 supports priority queuing. The ONS 15454 takes the eight priorities specified in IEEE
802.1Q and maps them to two queues (Table 9-5). Q-tags carry priority queuing information through the
network.
The ONS 15454 uses a “leaky bucket” algorithm to establish a weighted priority (not a strict priority).
A weighted priority gives high-priority packets greater access to bandwidth, but does not totally preempt
low-priority packets. During periods of network congestion, roughly 70% of bandwidth goes to the
high-priority queue and the remaining 30% goes to the low-priority queue. A network that is too
congested will drop packets.

This section explains how to provision Ethernet ports for VLAN membership. For initial port
provisioning (prior to provisioning VLAN membership) see the “Port Provisioning for Ethernet Cards”
section on page 9-3.
Procedure: Provision Ethernet Ports for VLAN Membership
The ONS 15454 allows you to configure the VLAN membership and Q-tag handling of individual
Ethernet ports.

Chapter 9
Ethernet Operation
VLAN Support
Step 1
Display the CTC card view for the Ethernet card.
Step 2
Click the Provisioning > VLAN tabs (Figure 9-22).
Figure 9-22 Configuring VLAN membership for individual Ethernet ports
Step 3
To put a port in a VLAN, click the port and choose either Tagged or Untag. Figure 9-22 on page 9-25
shows Port 1 in the red VLAN and Port 2 through Port 12 in the default VLAN. Table 9-6 shows valid
port settings.
If a port is a member of only one VLAN, go to that VLAN’s row and choose Untag from the Port column.
Choose -- for all the other VLAN rows in that Port column. The VLAN with Untag selected can connect
to the port, but other VLANs cannot access that port.
If a port is a trunk port, it connects multiple VLANs to an external device, such as a switch, which also
supports trunking. A trunk port must have tagging (802.1Q) enabled for all the VLANs that connect to
that external device. Choose Tagged at all VLAN rows that need to be trunked. Choose Untag at one or
more VLAN rows in the trunk port’s column that do not need to be trunked, for example, the default
VLAN. Each Ethernet port must attached to at least one untagged VLAN.
Step 4
After each port is in the appropriate VLAN, click Apply.

Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1D)
Note
If Tagged is chosen, the attached external devices must recognize IEEE 802.1Q VLANs.
Note
Both ports on individual E1000-2/E1000-2-G cards cannot be members of the same VLAN.
9.5 Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1D)
The Cisco ONS 15454 operates spanning tree protocol (STP) according to IEEE 802.1D when an
Ethernet card is installed. STP operates over all packet-switched ports including Ethernet and SONET
ports. On Ethernet ports, STP is disabled by default but may be enabled with a check box under the
Provisioning > Port tabs at the card-level view. On SONET interface ports, STP activates by default and
cannot be disabled.
The Ethernet card can enable STP on the Ethernet ports to allow redundant paths to the attached Ethernet
equipment. STP spans cards so that both equipment and facilities are protected against failure.
STP detects and eliminates network loops. When STP detects multiple paths between any two network
hosts, STP blocks ports until only one path exists between any two network hosts (Figure 9-23). The
single path eliminates possible bridge loops. This is crucial for shared packet rings, which naturally
include a loop.
Figure 9-23 An STP blocked path
43388
Primary path (forwarding)
Redundant path (blocked)
To remove loops, STP defines a tree that spans all the switches in an extended network. STP forces
certain redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state. If one network segment in the STP becomes
unreachable, the spanning-tree algorithm reconfigures the spanning-tree topology and reactivates the
blocked path to reestablish the link. STP operation is transparent to end stations, which do not
discriminate between connections to a single LAN segment or to a switched LAN with multiple
segments. The ONS 15454 supports one STP instance per circuit and a maximum of eight STP instances
per ONS 15454.
9.5.1 Multi-Instance Spanning Tree and VLANs
The ONS 15454 can operate multiple instances of STP to support VLANs in a looped topology. You can
dedicate separate circuits across the SONET ring for different VLAN groups (i.e., one for private TLS
services and one for Internet access). Each circuit runs its own STP to maintain VLAN connectivity in
a multi-ring environment.

9.7 Remote Monitoring Specification Alarm Thresholds
The ONS 15454 features Remote Monitoring (RMON) that allows network operators to monitor the
health of the network with a Network Management System (NMS). For a detailed description of the ONS
SNMP implementation, see Chapter 11, “SNMP.”

Chapter 9
Ethernet Operation
Remote Monitoring Specification Alarm Thresholds
One of the ONS 15454’s RMON MIBs is the Alarm group. The alarm group consists of the alarmTable.
An NMS uses the alarmTable to find the alarm-causing thresholds for network performance. The
thresholds apply to the current 15-minute interval and the current 24-hour interval. RMON monitors
several variables, such as Ethernet collisions, and triggers an event when the variable crosses a threshold
during that time interval. For example, if a threshold is set at 1000 collisions and 1001 collisions occur
during the 15-minute interval, an event triggers. CTC allows you to provision these thresholds for
Ethernet statistics.
Note
You can find performance monitoring specifications for all other cards in the Cisco ONS 15454
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide.
Note
The following tables define the variables you can provision in CTC. For example, to set the collision
threshold, choose etherStatsCollisions from the Variable menu.

Figure 9-26 Creating RMON thresholds
Step 4
From the Slot menu, choose the appropriate Ethernet card.
Step 5
From the Port menu, choose the Port on the Ethernet card.
Step 6
From the Variable menu, choose the variable. Table 9-10 lists and defines the Ethernet Threshold
Variables available in this field.
Step 7
From Alarm Type, indicate whether the event will be triggered by the rising threshold, falling threshold,
or both the rising and falling thresholds.
Step 8
From the Sample Type pull-down menu, choose either Relative or Absolute. Relative restricts the
threshold to use the number of occurrences in the user-set sample period. Absolute sets the threshold to
use the total number of occurrences, regardless of any time period.
Step 9
Type in an appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period.
Step 10
Type in the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold.
Note
Step 11
For a rising type of alarm to fire, the measured value must shoot from below the falling
threshold to above the rising threshold. For example, if a network is running below a falling
threshold of 400 collisions every 15 seconds and a problem causes 1001 collisions in 15
seconds, these occurrences fire an alarm.
Type in the appropriate number of occurrences for the Falling Threshold. In most cases a falling
threshold is set lower than the rising threshold.
A falling threshold is the counterpart to a rising threshold. When the number of occurrences is above the
rising threshold and then drops below a falling threshold, it resets the rising threshold. For example,
when the network problem that caused 1001 collisions in 15 minutes subsides and creates only 799
collisions in 15 minutes, occurrences fall below a falling threshold of 800 collisions. This resets the
rising threshold so that if network collisions again spike over a 1000 per 15 minute period, an event again
triggers when the rising threshold is crossed. An event is triggered only the first time a rising threshold
is exceeded (otherwise a single network problem might cause a rising threshold to be exceeded multiple
times and cause a flood of events).
Step 12
Click the OK button to complete the procedure.

10.1 Overview
The Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) detects and reports SONET alarms generated by the Cisco ONS
15454 and the larger SONET network. You can use CTC to monitor and manage alarms at a card, node,
or network levels and view alarm counts on the LCD front panel. Default alarm severities conform to the
Telcordia GR-253 standard, but you can reset severities to customized alarm profiles or suppress CTC
alarm reporting. For a detailed description of the standard Telcordia categories employed by ONS nodes,
see the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Guide.
Note
ONS 15454 alarms can also be monitored and managed through TL1 or a network management
system (NMS).

10.2.4 Viewing History
The History tab displays historical alarm data. It also displays events, which are non-alarmed activities
such as timing changes and threshold crossings. For example, protection switching events or
performance monitoring threshold crossings appear here. The History tab presents two alarm history
views:
Tip
•
The Session subtab (Figure 10-5) presents alarms and events that have occurred during the current
CTC session.
•
The Node subtab shows the alarms and events that occurred at the node since the CTC software
installation. The ONS 15454 can store up to 640 critical alarms, 640 major alarms, 640 minor
alarms, and 256 events. When the limit is reached, the ONS 15454 discards the oldest alarms and
events.
Double click an alarm in the alarm table or an event in the history table to display the corresponding
view. For example, double-clicking a card alarm takes you to card view. In network view,
double-clicking a node alarm takes you to node view.

10.2.5 Viewing Alarms on the LCD
The Critical, Major and Minor alarm LEDs on the fan-tray assembly front panel indicate whether a
critical, major, or minor alarm is present anywhere on the ONS 15454. These LEDs are viewable through
the front door so that you can quickly determine if any alarms are present on the node. These LEDs are
independent of the Card, Port, and Status indicators on the LCD.
When you press the Slot, Status, or Port buttons on the LCD to toggle to a certain slot or port, the LCD
displays the Critical, Major, or Minor alarm count for the selected slot and port. Figure 10-6 illustrates
the LCD panel.

10.3 Alarm Profiles
The alarm profiles feature allows you to change default alarm severities by creating unique alarm profiles
for individual ONS 15454 nodes. A profile you create can be applied to any node on the network. Alarm
profiles must be stored on a node before they can be applied to a node, card, or port. CTC can store up
to ten alarm profiles; eight are available for custom use and two are reserved. CTC can load an unlimited
number of alarm profiles that have been stored on a node, server, or CTC workstation.
The two reserved profiles include the default profile, which sets severities to standard Telcordia GR-253
settings, and the Inherited profile, which sets all alarm severities to transparent (TR). If an alarm has an
Inherited profile, it inherits (copies) its severity from the same alarm’s severity at the next level. For
example, a card with an Inherited alarm profile copies the severities used by the node that contains the
card. The Inherited profile is not available at the node level.

10.3.1 Creating and Modifying Alarm Profiles
Alarm profiles are created at the network view using the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tabs
(Figure 10-7.) A default alarm profile (in the Default column) is pre-provisioned for every alarm. After
loading the Default profile on the node, you can use the Clone feature to create new profiles based on
the default alarm profile. After the new profile is created, the Alarm Profiles tab shows the default profile
and the new profile.

10.3.1.4 Row Display Options
In addition to the alarm profile tabs, the Alarm Behavior tab displays two checkboxes at the bottom of
the screen: Hide default values and Hide identical rows. The Hide default values checkbox highlights
alarms with non-default severities by clearing alarm cells with default severities. The Hide identical rows
checkbox hides rows of alarms that contain the same severity for each profile.
10.3.2 Applying Alarm Profiles
In CTC card view, the Alarm Behavior subtab displays the alarm profiles of the selected card. In node
view, the Alarm Behavior subtab displays alarm profiles for the node. Alarms form a hierarchy. A
node-level alarm profile applies to all cards in the node, except those that have their own profiles. A
card-level alarm profile applies to all ports on the card, except those that have their own profiles.
At the node level, you may apply profile changes on a card-by-card basis or set a profile for the entire
node. Figure 10-8 shows the profile of a DS-1 card being changed to Inherited at the node view.

Suppressing Alarms
10.4 Suppressing Alarms
Suppressing alarms causes alarms to appear under the Conditions tab instead of the Alarms tab. It
prevents alarms from appearing on CTC Alarm or History tabs or in any other clients. The suppressed
alarms behave like conditions, which have their own non-reporting (NR) severities. Under the
Conditions tab, the suppressed alarms appear with their alarm severity, color code, and service-affecting
status.
Note
Use alarm suppression with caution. If multiple CTC/TL1 sessions are open, you will suppress the
alarms in all other open sessions.
Procedure: Suppressing Alarms
Step 1
At either the card view or node view, click the Provisioning > Alarm Behavior tabs.
At the card level, you can suppress alarms on a port-by-port basis. At the node level, you can suppress
alarms on a card-by-card basis or the entire node.
Step 2
Check the Suppress Alarms box for the card or port you want to suppress. Figure 10-10 shows the
Suppress Alarms box.

SNMP
This chapter explains Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as implemented by the Cisco ONS
15454.
11.1 SNMP Overview
SNMP is an application-layer communication protocol that allows network devices to exchange
management information. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find
and solve network problems, and plan network growth.
The ONS 15454 uses SNMP to provide asynchronous event notification to a network management
system (NMS). ONS SNMP implementation uses standard Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
MIBs to convey node-level inventory, fault, and performance management information for generic
read-only management of DS-1, DS-3, SONET, and Ethernet technologies. SNMP allows limited
management of the ONS 15454 by a generic SNMP manager, for example HP OpenView Network Node
Manager (NNM) or Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) NetExpert.
The Cisco ONS 15454 supports SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) and SNMP Version 2c (SNMPv2c). Both
versions share many features, but SNMPv2c includes additional protocol operations. This chapter
describes both versions and explains how to configure SNMP on the ONS 15454. Figure 11-1 illustrates
a basic network managed by SNMP.

11.2 SNMP Basic Components
An SNMP-managed network consists of three primary components: managed devices, agents, and
management systems. A managed device is a network node that contains an SNMP agent and resides on
an SNMP-managed network. Managed devices collect and store management information and use
SNMP to make this information available to management systems that use SNMP. Managed devices
include routers, access servers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, and network elements such as
an ONS 15454.
An agent is a software module that resides in a managed device. An agent has local knowledge of
management information and translates that information into a form compatible with SNMP. The SNMP
agent gathers data from the MIB, which is the repository for device parameter and network data. The
agent can also send traps, or notification of certain events, to the manager. Figure 11-2 illustrates these
SNMP operations.

A management system such as HP OpenView executes applications that monitor and control managed
devices. Management systems provide the bulk of the processing and memory resources required for
network management. One or more management systems must exist on any managed network.

11.3 SNMP Support
The ONS 15454 supports SNMP v1 and v2c traps and get requests. The SNMP MIBs in the ONS 15454
define alarms, traps, and status. Through SNMP, NMS applications can query a management agent using
a supported MIB. The functional entities include Ethernet switches and SONET multiplexers.
Procedure: Set Up SNMP Support
Step 1
Display the CTC node view.
Step 2
Click the Provisioning > SNMP tabs.
Step 3
Click Create at the bottom of the screen.
The Create SNMP Trap Destination dialog box opens (Figure 11-4).
For a description of SNMP traps, see the “SNMP Traps” section on page 11-6.

For a description of SNMP community names, see the “SNMP Community Names” section on
page 11-8.
Step 6
Note
The community name is a form of authentication and access control. The community name
assigned to the ONS 15454 is case-sensitive and must match the community name of the
NMS.
Note
The default UDP port for SNMP is 162.
Set the Trap Version field for either SNMPv1 or SNMPv2.
Refer to your NMS documentation to determine whether to use SNMP v1 or v2.
Step 7
Set your maximum traps per second in the Max Traps per Second field.
Note
Step 8
The Max Traps per Second is the maximum number of traps per second that will be sent to
the SNMP manager. If the field is set to 0, there is no maximum and all traps are sent.
Click OK.
SNMP settings are now configured. To view SNMP information for each node, highlight the node IP
address in the Trap Destinations area of the Trap Destinations screen (Figure 11-5).

11.4 SNMP Management Information Bases
A management information base (MIB) is a hierarchically-organized collection of information.
Network-management protocols, such as SNMP, gain access to MIBs. MIBs consist of managed objects
and are identified by object identifiers.
The ONS 15454 SNMP agent communicates with an SNMP management application using SNMP
messages. Table 11-1 describes these messages.

SNMP Message Types
Operation
Description
get-request
Retrieves a value from a specific variable
get-next-request Retrieves the value following the named variable; this operation is often
used to retrieve variables from within a table. With this operation, an SNMP
manager does not need to know the exact variable name. The SNMP
manager searches sequentially to find the needed variable from within the
MIB.
get-response
The reply to a get-request, get-next-request, get-bulk-request, or set-request

A managed object (sometimes called a MIB object) is one of any specific characteristics of a managed
device. Managed objects consist of one or more object instances (variables).
The ONS 15454 MIBs are included on the software CD that ships with the ONS 15454. Compile these
MIBs in the following order. If you do not follow the order, one or more MIB files might not compile.

11.5 SNMP Traps
The ONS 15454 can receive SNMP requests from a number of SNMP managers and send traps to ten
trap receivers. The ONS 15454 generates all alarms and events as SNMP traps.
The ONS 15454 generates traps containing an object ID that uniquely identifies the alarm. An entity
identifier uniquely identifies the entity that generated the alarm (slot, port, STS, VT, BLSR, STP, etc.).
The traps give the severity of the alarm (critical, major, minor, event, etc.) and indicate whether the alarm

SNMP
SNMP Traps
is service affecting or non-service affecting. The traps also contain a date/time stamp that shows the date
and time the alarm occurred. The ONS 15454 also generates a trap for each alarm when the alarm
condition clears.
Each SNMP trap contains ten variable bindings listed in Table 11-4.
Table 11-3
SNMP Trap Variable Bindings
Number
Name
Description
1
cerentGenericAlarmTable
This table holds all the currently-raised alarms.
When an alarm is raised, it appears as a new entry in
the table. When an alarm is cleared, it is removed
from the table and all the subsequent entries move
up by one row.
2
cerentGenericAlarmIndex
This variable uniquely identifies each entry in an
alarm table. When an alarm in the alarm table clears,
the alarm indexes change for each alarm located
subsequent to the cleared alarm.
3
cerentGenericAlarmObjectType
This variable provides the entity type that raised the
alarm. The NMS should use this value to decide
which table to poll for further information about the
alarm.
4
cerentGenericAlarmSlotNumber
This variable indicates the slot of the object that
raised the alarm. If a slot is not relevant to the alarm,
the slot number is zero.
5
cerentGenericAlarmPortNumber
This variable provides the port of the object that
raised the alarm. If a port is not relevant to the
alarm, the port number is zero.
6
cerentGenericAlarmLineNumber
This variable provides the object line that raised the
alarm. If a line is not relevant to the alarm, the line
number is zero.
7
cerentGenericAlarmObjectIndex
Every alarm is raised by an object entry in a specific
table. This variable is the index of the objects in
each table; if the alarm is interface related, this is
the index of the interfaces in the interface table.
8
cerentGenericAlarmType
This variable provides the exact alarm type.
9
cerentGenericAlarmState
This variable specifies alarm severity and
service-affecting status. Severities are minor, major
and critical. Service- affecting statuses are
service-affecting and non-service affecting.
10
cerentGenericAlarmTimeStamp
This variable gives the time when the alarm
occurred. The value is the number of the ticks that
has lapsed since 1/1/1970.
The ONS 15454 supports the generic and IETF traps listed in Table 11-4.

A dsx1LineStatusChange trap is sent when the value of
an instance dsx1LineStatus changes. The trap can be
used by an NMS to trigger polls. When the line status
change results from a higher-level line status change (ex.
DS-3), no traps for the DS-1 are sent.
A dsx3LineStatusLastChange trap is sent when the value
of an instance of dsx3LineStatus changes. This trap can
be used by an NMS to trigger polls. When the line status
change results in a lower-level line status change (ex.
DS-1), no traps for the lower-level are sent.
The SNMP trap that is generated when an alarm entry
crosses the rising threshold and the entry generates an
event that is configured for sending SNMP traps.
The SNMP trap that is generated when an alarm entry
crosses the falling threshold and the entry generates an
event that is configured for sending SNMP traps.
11.6 SNMP Community Names
You can provision community names for all SNMP requests from the SNMP Trap Destination dialog box
in CTC (see the “SNMP Support” section on page 11-3). In effect, SNMP considers any request valid
that uses a community name matching a community name on the list of provisioned SNMP trap
destinations. Otherwise, SNMP considers the request invalid and drops it.
If an SNMP request contains an invalid community name, the request silently drops and the MIB
variable (snmpInBadCommunityNames) increments. All MIB variables managed by the agent grant
access to all SNMP requests containing a validated community name.
11.7 SNMP Remote Network Monitoring
The ONS 15454 incorporates Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) to allow network operators to
monitor the ONS 15454 E10/100-4 cards. For more information on Ethernet RMONs, see “Remote
Monitoring Specification Alarm Thresholds” section on page 9-30. This feature is not apparent to the

SNMP Remote Network Monitoring
typical CTC user, because RMON interoperates with an NMS. However, with CTC you can provision
the RMON alarm thresholds (see the “SNMP Remote Network Monitoring” section on page 11-8). CTC
also monitors the five RMON groups implemented by the ONS 15454.
ONS 15454 RMON implementation is based on the IETF-standard MIB Request for Comment
(RFC)1757. The ONS 15454 implements five groups from the standard MIB: Ethernet Statistics, History
Control, Ethernet History, Alarm, and Event.
11.7.1 Ethernet Statistics Group
The Ethernet Statistics group contains the basic statistics for each monitored subnetwork in a single table
named etherstats.
11.7.2 History Control Group
The History Control group defines sampling functions for one or more monitor interfaces. RFC 1757
defines the historyControlTable.
11.7.3 Ethernet History Group
The ONS 15454 implements the etherHistoryTable as defined in RFC 1757, within the bounds of the
historyControlTable.
11.7.4 Alarm Group
The Alarm group consists of a single alarm table. This table provides the network performance alarm
thresholds for the network management application. With CTC, you can provision the thresholds in the
table.
11.7.5 Event Group
The Event group consists of two tables, eventTable and logTable. The eventTable is read-only. The ONS
15454 implements the logTable as specified in RFC 1757.

Automatic Circuit Routing
If you select automatic routing during circuit creation, Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) routes the
circuit by dividing the entire circuit route into segments based on protection domains. For unprotected
segments of protected circuits, CTC finds an alternate route to protect the segment in a virtual UPSR
fashion. Each path segment is a separate protection domain, and each protection domain is protected in
a specific fashion (virtual UPSR, BLSR, or 1+1).

Automatic Circuit Routing
Circuit Routing Characteristics
The following list provides principles and charactistics of automatic circuit routing:
•
Circuit routing tries to use the shortest path within the user-specified or network-specified
constraints. VT tunnels are preferable for VT circuits because VT tunnels are considered shortcuts
when CTC calculates a circuit path in path-protected mesh networks.
•
If you do not choose Fully Path Protected during circuit creation, circuits may still contain protected
segments. Because circuit routing always selects the shortest path, one or more links and/or
segments may have some protection. CTC does not look at link protection while computing a path
for unprotected circuits.
•
Circuit routing will not use links that are down. If you want all links to be considered for routing,
do not create circuits when a link is down.
•
Circuit routing computes the shortest path when you add a new drop to an existing circuit. It tries to
find a shortest path from the new drop to any nodes on the existing circuit.
•
If the network has a mixture of VT-capable nodes and nodes that are not VT capable, depending on
the route found, CTC will automatically force creation of a VT tunnel. Otherwise, CTC asks you
whether a VT tunnel is needed.
Bandwidth Allocation and Routing
Within a given network, CTC will route circuits on the shortest possible path between source and
destination based on the circuit attributes, such as protection and type. CTC will consider using a link
for the circuit only if the link meets the following requirements:
•
The link has sufficient bandwidth to support the circuit
•
The link does not change the protection characteristics of the path
•
The link has the required time slots to enforce the same time slot restrictions for BLSR
If CTC cannot find a link that meets these requirements, it displays an error
The same logic applies to VT circuits on VT tunnels. Circuit routing typically favors VT tunnels
because, based on topology maintained by circuit routing, VT tunnels are shortcuts between a given
source and destination. If the VT tunnel in the route is full (no more bandwidth), CTC asks whether you
want to create an additional VT tunnel.
Secondary Sources and Drops
CTC supports secondary sources and drops. Secondary sources and drops typically interconnect two
“foreign” networks, as shown in Figure A-2. Traffic is protected while it goes through a network of ONS
15454s.

Several rules apply to secondary sources and drops:
•
CTC does not allow a secondary destination for unidirectional circuits because you can always
specify additional destinations (drops) after you create the circuit
•
Primary and secondary sources should be on the same node
•
Primary and secondary destinations should be on the same node
•
The sources and drops cannot be DS-3, DS3XM, or DS-1 based STS-1s or VTs
•
Secondary sources and destinations are permitted only for regular STS/VT connections (not for VT
tunnels and multicard EtherSwitch circuits)
•
For point-to-point (straight) Ethernet circuits, only SONET STS endpoints can be specified as
multiple sources or drops
For bidirectional circuits, CTC creates a UPSR connection at the source node that allows traffic to be
selected from one of the two sources on the ONS 15454 network. If you check the Fully Path Protected
option during circuit creation, traffic is protected within the ONS 15454 network. At the destination,
another UPSR connection is created to bridge traffic from the ONS 15454 network to the two
destinations. A similar but opposite path exists for the reverse traffic flowing from the destinations to
the sources.
For unidirectional circuits, a UPSR drop-and-continue connection is created at the source node.
Manual Circuit Routing
Routing circuits manually allows you to:
•
Choose a specific path, not just the shortest path chosen by automatic routing
•
Choose a specific STS/VT on each link along the route
•
Create a shared packet ring for Multicard EtherSwitch circuits
•
Choose a protected path for Multicard EtherSwitch circuits, allowing virtual UPSR segments
CTC imposes the following rules on manual routes:
•
All circuits, except Multicard EtherSwitch circuits in a shared packet ring, should have links with a
direction that flows from source to destination. This is true for Multicard EtherSwitch circuits that
are not in a shared packet ring (see Figure A-1).

Multicard EtherSwitch circuits can have virtual UPSR segments if the source or destination is not
in the UPSR domain. This restriction also applies after circuit creation; therefore if you create a
circuit with UPSR segments, Ethernet node drops cannot exist anywhere on the UPSR segment (see
Figure A-6).

VT Tunnels cannot be an endpoint of a UPSR segment. A UPSR segment endpoint is where the
UPSR selector resides.
If Fully Path Protected is chosen, CTC verifies that the route selection is protected at all segments. A
route can have multiple protection domains with each domain protected by a different mechanism.
The following tables summarize the available node connections. Any other combination is invalid and
will generate an error.

Although virtual UPSR segments are possible in VT Tunnels, VT tunnels are still considered
unprotected. If you need to protect VT circuits either use two independent VT tunnels that are diversely
routed or use a VT tunnel that is routed over only 1+1 or BLSR (or a mix) links.
Constraint-Based Circuit Routing
When you create circuits, you can choose Fully Protected Path to protect the circuit from source to
destination. The protection mechanism used depends on the path CTC calculates for the circuit. If the
network is comprised entirely of BLSR and/or 1+1 links, or the path between source and destination can
be entirely protected using 1+1 and/or BLSR links, no PPMN (virtual UPSR) protection is used.
If virtual UPSR (PPMN) protection is needed to protect the path, set the level of node diversity for the
PPMN portions of the complete path on the Circuit Creation dialog box:
•
Required—Ensures that the primary and alternate paths of each PPMN domain in the complete path
have a diverse set of nodes.
•
Desired—CTC looks for a node diverse path; if a node diverse path is not available, CTC finds a
link diverse path for each PPMN domain in the complete path.
•
Don’t Care—Creates only a link diverse path for each PPMN domain
When you choose automatic circuit routing during circuit creation, you have the option to require and/or
exclude nodes and links in the calculated route. You can use this option to:
•
Simplify manual routing, especially if the network is large and selecting every span is tedious. You
can select a general route from source to destination and allow CTC to fill in the route details.
•
Balance network traffic; by default CTC chooses the shortest path, which can load traffic on certain
links while other links are either free or less used. By selecting a required node and/or a link, you
force the CTC to use (or not use) an element, resulting in more efficent use of network resources.
CTC considers required nodes and links to be an ordered set of elements. CTC treats the source nodes
of every required link as required nodes. When CTC calculates the path, it makes sure the computed path
traverses the required set of nodes and links and does not traverse excluded nodes and links.
The required nodes and links constraint is only used during the primary path computation and only for
PPMN domains/segments. The alternate path is computed normally; CTC uses excluded nodes/links
when finding all primary and alternate paths on PPMNs.
