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.

1.1 Overview
Caution Unused card slots should be filled with a detectable filler card (Cisco P/N 15454-FILLER) or a
non-detectable filler card (Cisco P/N 15454-BLANK). The filler card ensures proper airflow when
operating the ONS 15454 without the front door attached, although Cisco recommends that the front
door remain attached.
Note The ONS 15454 is designed to comply with Telcordia 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).
Note The Cisco ONS 15454 assembly is intended for use with telecommunications equipment only.
Note You can search for cross-referenced Cisco part numbers and CLEI (Common Language Equipment
Identification) codes at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/front.x/clei/code_search.cgi.
1.1 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 user 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.
You can mount the ONS 15454 in a 19- or 23-inch rack (482.6 or 584.2 mm). The shelf assembly weighs
approximately 55 pounds (24.94 kg) with no cards installed. The shelf assembly includes a front door
for added security, a fan tray module for cooling, and extensive cable-management space.
ONS 15454 optical cards have SC and LC connectors on the card faceplate. Fiber-optic cables are routed
into the front of the destination cards. Electrical cards (DS-1, DS-3, DS3XM, 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 preinstalled on the backplane. See the
“1.5 Electrical Interface Assemblies” section on page 1-15 for more information about the EIAs.
The ONS 15454 is powered using –48 VDC power. Negative, return, and ground power terminals are
accessible on the backplane.
Note In this chapter, the terms “ONS 15454” and “shelf assembly” are used interchangeably. In the
installation context, these terms have the same meaning. Otherwise, shelf assembly refers to the physical
steel enclosure that holds cards and connects power, and ONS 15454 refers to the entire system, both
hardware and software.
Install the ONS 15454 in compliance with your local and national electrical codes:

1.2 Rack Installation
• United States: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70; United States National Electrical
Code
• Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1
• Other countries: If local and national electrical codes are not available refer to IEC 364, Part 1
through Part 7
1.2 Rack Installation
The ONS 15454 is mounted in a 19- or 23-in. (482.6- or 584.2-mm) equipment rack. The shelf assembly
projects five inches (127 mm) from the front of the rack. It mounts in both Electronic Industries Alliance
(EIA) standard and Telcordia-standard racks. The shelf assembly is a total of 17 inches (431.8 mm) wide
with no mounting ears attached. Ring runs are not provided by Cisco and might hinder side-by-side
installation of shelves where space is limited.
The ONS 15454 measures 18.25 inches (463.5 mm) high, 19 or 23 inches (482.6 or 584.2 mm) wide
(depending on which way the mounting ears are attached), 12.018 inches (305.2 mm) deep for standard
door and 13.810 inches (350.7 mm) for deep door. You can install up to four ONS 15454 shelves in a
seven-foot (2133.6 mm) equipment rack. The ONS 15454 must have one inch (25.4 mm) 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 A 10-Gbps-compatible shelf assembly (15454-SA-ANSI or 15454-SA-HD) and fan-tray assembly
(15454-FTA3, 15454-FTA3-T, or 15454-CC-FTA) are required if ONS 15454 XC10G and ONS 15454
XC-VXC-10G cards are installed in the shelf.

1.2.2 Mounting a Single Node
Caution When mounting the ONS 15454 in a frame with a nonconductive coating (such as paint, lacquer, or
enamel) either use the thread-forming screws provided with the ONS 15454 shipping kit, or remove the
coating from the threads to ensure electrical continuity.
The shelf assembly comes preset for installation in a 23-inch (584.2 mm) rack, but you can reverse the
mounting bracket to fit the smaller 19-inch (482.6 mm) rack.
1.2.2 Mounting a Single Node
Mounting the ONS 15454 in a rack requires a minimum of 18.5 inches (469.9 mm) of vertical rack space
and one additional inch (25.4 mm) for air flow. To ensure the mounting is secure, use two to four
#12-24 mounting screws for each side of the shelf assembly. Figure 1-2 shows the rack mounting
position for the ONS 15454.
Figure 1-2 Mounting an ONS 15454 in a Rack
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.
If you are installing the fan-tray air filter using the bottom (external) brackets provided, mount the
brackets on the bottom of the shelf assembly before installing the ONS 15454 in a rack.

1.2.3 Mounting Multiple Nodes
1.2.3 Mounting Multiple Nodes
Most standard (Telcordia GR-63-CORE, 19-inch [482.6 mm] or 23-inch [584.2 mm]) seven-foot
(2,133 mm) racks can hold four ONS 15454 shelves and a fuse and alarm panel. However, unequal flange
racks are limited to three ONS 15454 shelves and a fuse and alarm panel or four ONS 15454 shelves and
a fuse and alarm panel from an adjacent rack.
If you are using the external (bottom) brackets to install the fan-tray air filter, you can install three shelf
assemblies in a standard seven-foot (2.133 m) rack. If you are not using the external (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.
1.2.4 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 preinstalled in a seven-foot (2.133 m) rack. The bay assembly is available
in a three- or four-shelf configuration. The three-shelf configuration includes three ONS 15454 shelf
assemblies, a prewired fuse and alarm panel, and two cable-management trays. The four-shelf
configuration includes four ONS 15454 shelf assemblies and a prewired fuse and alarm panel. You can
order optional fiber channels with either configuration. Installation procedures are included in the
Unpacking and Installing the Cisco ONS 15454 Four-Shelf and Zero-Shelf Bay Assembly document that
ships with the Bay Assembly,
1.3 Front Door
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 on the ONS 15454 shelf or the network. You
can use the LCD to further isolate alarms. The front door (Figure 1-3) provides access to the shelf
assembly, cable-management tray, fan-tray assembly, and LCD screen.

1.4.3 Alarm Interface Panel
Figure 1-12 Installing the Plastic Rear Cover with Spacers
1.4.3 Alarm Interface Panel
The AIP is located above the alarm contacts 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 nonvolatile memory chip that stores the unique node address
(MAC address).
Note The MAC address identifies the nodes that support circuits. It allows Cisco Transport Controller (CTC)
to determine circuit sources, destinations, and spans. The TCC2/TCC2P cards in the ONS 15454 also
use the MAC address to store the node database.
The 5-A AIP (73-7665-XX) is required when installing fan-tray assembly 15454-FTA3 or
15454-CC-FTA, which comes preinstalled on the shelf assembly (15454-SA-ANSI or 15454-SA-HD).
Note A blown fuse on the AIP board can cause the LCD display to go blank.
1.4.4 Alarm Interface Panel Replacement
If the alarm interface panel (AIP) fails, a MAC Fail alarm appears on the CTC Alarms menu and/or the
LCD display on the fan-tray assembly goes blank. To perform an in-service replacement of the AIP, you
must contact Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). For contact information, go to the TAC website
at http://www.cisco.com/tac.

1.5 Electrical Interface Assemblies
You can replace the AIP on an in-service system without affecting traffic (except Ethernet traffic on
nodes running a software release earlier than Release 4.0). The circuit repair feature allows you to repair
circuits affected by MAC address changes on one node at a time. Circuit repair works when all nodes are
running the same software version. Each individual AIP upgrade requires an individual circuit repair; if
AIPs are replaced on two nodes, the circuit repair must be performed twice.
Caution Do not use a 2-A AIP with a 5-A fan-tray assembly; doing so causes a blown fuse on the AIP.
Note Ensure that all nodes in the affected network are running the same software version before replacing the
AIP and repairing circuits. If you need to upgrade nodes to the same software version, do not change any
hardware or repair circuits until after the software upgrade is complete. Replace an AIP during a
maintenance window. Resetting the active TCC2/TCC2P card can cause a service disruption of less then
50 ms to optical or electrical traffic. Resetting the active TCC2/TCC2P card causes a service disruption
of three to five minutes on all E-Series Ethernet traffic due to spanning tree reconvergence. Refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for an AIP replacement procedure.
1.5 Electrical Interface Assemblies
Optional EIA backplane covers are typically preinstalled when ordered with the ONS 15454. EIAs must
be ordered when using DS-1, DS-3, DS3XM, or EC-1 cards. This section describes each EIA.
Six different EIA backplane covers are available for the ONS 15454: BNC, High-Density BNC,
MiniBNC, SMB, AMP Champ, UBIC-H (Universal Backplane Interface Connector-Horizontal), and
UBIC-V (Vertical). If the shelf was not shipped with the correct EIA interface, you must order and install
the correct EIA.
EIAs are attached to the shelf assembly backplane to provide electrical interface 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. UBIC-V EIAs have SCSI connectors. They are available for use with any DS-1, DS-3, or
EC-1 card, but are intended for use with high-density electrical cards.
Note The MiniBNC EIAs only support cables using the Trompetor connectors for termination.
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). As you face the rear of the ONS 15454 shelf assembly, the right side is the A side and the
left side is the B side. The top of the EIA connector columns are labeled with the corresponding slot
number, and EIA connector pairs are marked transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) to correspond to transmit
and receive cables.
Note For information about EIA types, protection schemes, and card slots, see Chapter 7, “Card Protection.”

1.5.1 EIA Installation
1.5.1 EIA Installation
Optional EIA backplane covers are typically preinstalled when ordered with the ONS 15454. A minimal
amount of assembly might be required when EIAs are ordered separately from the ONS 15454. 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.
When using the RG-179 coaxial cable on an EIA, the maximum distance available (122 feet [37 meters])
is less than the maximum distance available with standard RG-59 (734A) cable (306 feet [93 meters]).
The maximum distance when using the RG-59 (734A) cable is 450 feet (137 meters). The shorter
maximum distance available with the RG179 is due to a higher attenuation rate for the thinner cable.
Attenuation rates are calculated using a DS-3 signal:
• For RG-179, the attenuation rate is 59 dB/kft at 22 MHz.
• For RG-59 (734A) the attenuation rate is 11.6 dB/kft at 22 MHz.

1.5.6 SMB EIA
The ONS 15454 SMB EIA supports AMP 415484-1 75-ohm 4-leg connectors. Right-angle mating
connectors for the connecting cable are AMP 415484-2 (75-ohm) connectors. Use RG-179/U cable to
connect to the ONS 15454 EIA. Cisco recommends these cables for connection to a patch panel; they
are not designed for long runs. Range does not affect loopback testing.
You can use SMB EIAs with DS-1, DS-3 (including the DS3XM-6 and DS3XM-12), and EC-1 cards. If
you use DS-1 cards, use the DS-1 electrical interface adapter (balun) to terminate the twisted pair DS-1
cable to the SMB EIA (see the “1.7.2 Electrical Interface Adapters” section on page 1-39). SMB EIAs
support 14 ports per slot when used with a DS-1 card, 12 ports per slot when used with a DS-3 or EC-1

Figure 1-18 SMB EIA Backplane
The SMB EIA has 84 transmit and 84 receive connectors on each side of the ONS 15454 for a total of
168 SMB connectors (84 circuits).
The EIA side marked “A” hosts 84 SMB connectors in six columns of 14 connectors. The “A” side
columns are numbered 1 to 6 and correspond to Slots 1 to 6 on the shelf assembly. The EIA side marked
“B” hosts an additional 84 SMB connectors in six columns of 14 connectors. The “B” side columns are
numbered 12 to 17 and correspond to Slots 12 to 17 on the shelf assembly. The connector rows are
numbered 1 to 14 and correspond to the 14 ports on a DS-1 card.
For DS-3 or EC-1 cards, the EIA supports 72 transmit and 72 receive connectors, for a total of 144 SMB
connectors (72 circuits). If you use a DS-3 or EC-1 card, only Ports 1 to 12 are active. If you use a
DS3XM-6 card, only Ports 1 to 6 are active. The SMB connector pairs are marked “Tx” and “Rx” to
identify transmit and receive cables for each port. If you use SMB connectors, you can install DS-1,
DS-3, or EC-1 cards in Slots 1 to 4 or 14 to 17.
1.5.7 AMP Champ EIA
The ONS 15454 AMP Champ EIA supports 64-pin (32 pair) AMP Champ connectors for each slot on
both sides of the shelf assembly where the EIA is installed. Cisco AMP Champ connectors are female
AMP # 552246-1 with AMP # 552562-2 bail locks. Each AMP Champ connector supports 14 DS-1 ports.
You can use AMP Champ EIAs with DS-1 cards only. Figure 1-19 shows the ONS 15454 with
preinstalled AMP Champ EIAs and the corresponding sheet metal cover and screw locations for the EIA.
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 0.475 in. to 0.540 in.) or #2-552496-1 (for cable diameter
0.540 in. to 0.605 in.) 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.
Figure 1-19 AMP Champ EIA Backplane
Table 1-8 shows the pin assignments for the AMP Champ connectors on the ONS 15454 AMP Champ
EIA. The EIA side marked “A” hosts six AMP Champ connectors. The connectors are numbered 1 to 6
for the corresponding slots on the shelf assembly. Each AMP Champ connector on the backplane
supports 14 DS-1 ports for a DS1-14 card, and each connector features 28 live pairs—one transmit pair
and one receive pair—for each DS-1 port.
The EIA side marked “B” hosts six AMP Champ connectors. The connectors are labeled 12 to 17 for the
corresponding slots on the shelf assembly. Each AMP Champ connector on the backplane supports
14 DS-1 ports for a DS1-14 card, and each connector features 28 live pairs—one transmit pair and one
receive pair—for each DS-1 port.
Note EIAs are hot-swappable. You do not need to disconnect power to install or remove EIAs.
Caution Always use an electrostatic discharge (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.

You can install UBIC-Vs on one or both sides of the ONS 15454. As you face the rear of the ONS 15454
shelf assembly, the right side is the A side (15454-EIA-UBICV-A) and the left side is the B side
(15454-EIA-UBICV-B). The diagrams adjacent to each row of SCSI connectors indicate the slots and
ports that correspond with each SCSI connector in that row, depending on whether you are using a
high-density (HD) or low-density (LD) configuration.
UBIC-V EIAs will support high-density electrical cards (DS3/EC1-48, DS1/E1-56), as well as
low-density electrical cards.
Figure 1-20 shows the A- and B-side slot assignments.
Figure 1-20 UBIC-V Slot Designations
The UBIC-V sheet metal covers use the same screw holes as the standard sheet metal covers, but they
have 12 additional holes for pan-head screws and three holes for jack screws, so you can screw down the
cover and the board using standoffs on the UBIC-V board.
When installed with the standard door and cabling on the backplane, the ONS 15454 shelf measures
approximately 15.7 inches (399 mm) deep when partially populated with backplane cables, 16.1 inches
(409 mm) deep when fully populated, and 16.75 inches (425 mm) deep with the rear cover installed.

1.5.10 EIA Replacement
The A and B sides each host 16 high-density, 50-pin SCSI connectors. The A-side maps to
Slots 1 through 6 and the B-side maps to Slots 12 through 17.
In Software Releases prior to Release 5.0, UBIC-Hs support unprotected, 1:1, and 1:N (where N < 5)
protection groups. In Software R5.0 and greater, UBIC-Hs additionally support available high-density
cards in unprotected and 1:N protection (where N < 2) protection groups.
Table 1-15 shows protection groups and their applicable slot assignments.
1.5.10 EIA Replacement
Before you attach a new EIA, you must remove the backplane cover or EIA already installed on the
ONS 15454. Refer to the spare document(s) for the EIA type(s) you are removing and replacing for
specific information.
1.6 Coaxial Cable
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. 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.
The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance of the node depends on good-quality DS-3
coaxial cables, such as Shuner Type G 03233 D, or the equivalent.
1.7 DS-1 Cable
DS-1 cables support AMP Champ connectors and twisted-pair wire-wrap cabling. Twisted-pair
wire-wrap cables require SMB EIAs.
1.7.1 Twisted Pair Wire-Wrap Cables
Installing twisted-pair, wire-wrap DS-1 cables requires separate pairs of grounded twisted-pair cables
for receive (in) and transmit (out). Prepare four cables, two for receive and two for transmit, for each
DS-1 facility to be installed.

1.7.2 Electrical Interface Adapters
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.
1.7.2 Electrical Interface Adapters
Note DS-1 electrical interface adapters project an additional 1.72 inches (43.7 mm) 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 adapter has wire-wrap posts for DS-1 transmit and receive cables.
Figure 1-22 shows the DS-1 electrical interface adapter.
Note “EIA” refers to electrical interface assemblies and not electrical interface adapters. Electrical interface
adapters are also known as baluns.
Figure 1-22 DS-1 Electrical Interface Adapter (Balun)
Each DS-1 electrical interface adapter has a female SMB connector on one end and a pair of 0.045 inch
(1.14 mm) square wire-wrap posts on the other end. The wire-wrap posts are 0.200 inches (5.08 mm)
apart.
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.

The UBIC-V EIA is designed to support DS-1, DS-3, or EC-1 signals. The type of signal supported is
determined by the respective UBIC-V cable assembly.
DS-1 cables for the UBIC-V have a maximum supported distance of 655 feet (199.6 m). DS-1 cables
arrive with unterminated #24 AWG twisted pairs on the far end and are color coded as identified in
Table 1-17.
The following DS-1 cables are no longer available from Cisco Systems for use with the UBIC-V EIA:
• DS-1 cable, 150 feet: 15454-CADS1-SD
• DS-1 cable, 250 feet: 15454-CADS1-ID
• DS-1 cable, 655 feet: 15454-CADS1-LD
DS-3/EC-1 cables for the UBIC-V have a maximum supported distance of 450 feet (137.2 m).

1.11 Cable Routing and Management
The ONS 15454 cable management facilities include the following:
• A cable-routing channel (behind the fold-down door) that runs the width of the shelf assembly
(Figure 1-32)
• 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 (Figure 1-33)
Note 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
• A cable routing channel that enables you to route cables out either side
• Jumper slack storage reels (2) on each side panel that reduce the amount of slack in cables that are
connected to other devices
Note To remove the jumper slack storage reels, take out the screw in the center of each reel.
• Optional tie-down bar
Figure 1-32 shows the cable management facilities that you can access through the fold-down front door,
including the cable-routing channel and cable-routing channel posts.

The jumper routing fins are designed to route fiber jumpers out of both sides of the shelf. Slots 1 to 6
exit to the left, and Slots 12 to 17 exit to the right. Figure 1-33 shows fibers routed from cards in the left
slots, down through the fins, then exiting out the fiber channel to the left. The maximum capacity of the
fiber routing channel depends on the size of the fiber jumpers. Table 1-23 gives the maximum capacity
of the fiber channel for each side of the shelf, for the different fiber sizes.

1.11.2 Fiber Management Using the Tie-Down Bar
Table 1-23 provides the maximum capacity of the fiber channel for one side of a shelf, depending on
fiber size and number of Ethernet cables running through that fiber channel.
Plan your fiber size according to the number of cards/ports installed in each side of the shelf. For
example, if your port combination requires 36 fibers, 3 mm (0.11 inch) fiber is adequate. If your port
combination requires 68 fibers, you must use 2 mm(0.7 inch) or smaller fibers.
1.11.2 Fiber Management Using the Tie-Down Bar
You can install an optional 5-inch (127 mm) tie-down bar on the rear of the ANSI chassis. You can use
tie-wraps or other site-specific material to bundle the cabling and attach it to the bar so that you can more
easily route the cable away from the rack.
Figure 1-34 shows the tie-down bar, the ONS 15454, and the rack.

1.11.3 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.
1.11.4 DS-1 Twisted-Pair Cable Management
Connect twisted pair/DS-1 cables to SMB EIAs on the ONS 15454 backplane using cable connectors
and DS-1 EIAs (baluns).
1.11.5 AMP Champ Cable Management
EIAs have cable management eyelets to tiewrap or lace cables to the cover panel. Tie wrap or lace the
AMP Champ cables according to local site practice and route the cables. If you configure the ONS 15454
for a 23-inch (584.2 mm) rack, two additional inches (50.8 mm) of cable management area is available
on each side of the shelf assembly.
1.12 Alarm Expansion Panel
The optional ONS 15454 alarm expansion panel (AEP) can be used with the Alarm Interface
Controller—International card (AIC-I) card to provide an additional 48 dry alarm contacts for the ONS
15454, 32 of which are inputs and 16 are outputs. The AEP is a printed circuit board assembly that is
installed on the backplane. Figure 1-35 shows the AEP board; the left connector is the input connector
and the right connector is the output connector.
The AIC-I without an AEP already contains direct alarm contacts. These direct AIC-I alarm contacts are
routed through the backplane to wire-wrap pins accessible from the back of the shelf. If you install an
AEP, you cannot use the alarm contacts on the wire-wrap pins. For further information about the AIC-I,
see the “2.7 AIC-I Card” section on page 2-28.

1.13 Filler Card
Filler cards are designed to occupy empty multiservice and AIC-I slots in the Cisco ONS 15454
(Slots 1–6, 9, and 12 – 17). The filler card cannot operate in the XC slots (Slots 8 and 10) or TCC slots
(7 and 11). When installed, the filler card aids in maintaining proper air flow and EMI requirements.
Note There are two types of filler cards, a detectable version (Cisco P/N 15454-FILLER) and a non-detectable
version (Cisco P/N 15454-BLANK). The detectable card has the label FILLER on the faceplate. The
non-detectable card has no faceplate label. In Software Release 6.0 and greater, the former card is
detectable through CTC when installed in the ONS 15454 shelf.

1.14.1 Fan Tray Units for ONS 15454 Cards
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. For optical cards,
you can use the LCD to determine if a port is in working or protect mode and is active or standby. The
LCD also tells you whether the software load is SONET or SDH and the software version number.
Note The 15454-SA-ANSI or 15454-SA-HD shelf assembly and 15454-FTA3 or 15454-CC-FTA fan-tray
assembly are required with any ONS 15454 that has XC10G or XC-VXC-10G cards.
Caution The 15454-FTA3-T fan-tray assembly can only be installed in ONS 15454 Release 3.1 and later shelf
assemblies (15454-SA-ANSI, P/N: 800-19857; 15454-SA-HD, P/N: 800-24848). The fan-tray assembly
has a pin that prevents it from being 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: 800-07149). Equipment
damage can result from attempting to install the 15454-FTA3 in a noncompatible shelf assembly.
Note 15454-CC-FTA is compatible with Software Release 2.2.2 and greater and shelf assemblies
15454-SA-HD and 15454-SA-ANSI.
Note The 15454-FTA3 is not I-temp compliant. To obtain an I-temp tray, install the 15454-FTA3-T or
15454-CC-FTA fan-tray assembly in an ONS 15454 Release 3.1 shelf assembly (15454-SA-ANSI or
15454-SA-HD). However, do not install the ONS 15454 XC10G cross-connect cards with the

1.14.2 Fan Speed
Fan speed is controlled by TCC2/TCC2P 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 TCC2/TCC2P
card fails, the fans automatically shift to high speed. The temperature measured by the TCC/TCC2P2
sensors is displayed on the LCD screen.
1.14.3 Fan Failure
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, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide. The red Fan
Fail LED clears after you install a working fan tray.
Caution As with the FTA3, the 15454-CC-FTA Fan Fail LED on the front of the fan-tray assembly illuminates
when one or more fans fail to indicate that a fan-tray assembly or AIP replacement is required. But the
Fan Fail LED on the 15454-CC-FTA will also illuminate when only one power source is connected to
the chassis, and or any fuse blows. In such conditions, the Fan Alarm is triggered and the fans run at
maximum speed.
1.14.4 Air Filter
The ONS 15454 contains a reusable air filter; Model 15454-FTF2, that is installed either beneath the
fan-tray assembly or in the optional external filter brackets. Earlier versions of the ONS 15454 used a
disposable air filter that is installed beneath the fan-tray assembly only. However, the reusable air filter
is backward compatible.
The reusable filter is made of a gray, open-cell, polyurethane foam that is specially coated to provide fire
and fungi resistance. All versions of the ONS 15454 can use the reusable air filter. Spare filters should
be kept in stock.

1.14.5 Pilot Fuse
Caution Do not operate an ONS 15454 without the mandatory fan-tray air filter.
Caution Inspect the air filter every 30 days, and clean the filter every three to six months. Replace the air filter
every two to three years. Avoid cleaning the air filter with harsh cleaning agents or solvents. Refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for information about cleaning and maintaining the fan-tray
air filter.
1.14.5 Pilot Fuse
The Pilot Fuse in the Fan tray assembly allows you to blow a low rate fuse when the main fuse of the
lower power battery is not installed in the equipment.
CC-FTAs 15454-CC-FTA 800-27558-01 and 15454-CC-FTA 800-27561-01 can automatically generate
an electrical pulse (without external commands) at power on and about every 25-35 minutes in order to
drain extra current from both the batteries. The amount of current and the duration of the pulse that the
CC-FTA can generate, is suitable to blow the fuses listed in the Table 1-28. Similar to CC-FTA,
15454-FTA3-T 800-23907-01 and 800-23907-05 can also operate the pilot fuses mentioned in
Table 1-28 when the main fuse is missing. Unlike CC-FTA, FTA3-T alternatively drains the current from
the two batteries every 50-100 msec to feed the fans.
Table 1-28 Pilot Fuse Ratings
This is accomplished in the I-temp range (-40°C to +65°C) in either of these conditions:
• When the lower power battery is in the 43.0V to 60.0V range and the higher power battery is more
than 1V greater than the lower power battery (or)
• When the lower power battery is in the 40.0V to 60.0V range and the difference between the two
batteries does not exceed 0.5V.
1.15 Power and Ground Description
Ground the equipment according to Telcordia standards or local practices.
Cisco recommends the following wiring conventions, but customer conventions prevail:
• Red wire for battery connections (–48 VDC)
• Black wire for battery return connections (0 VDC)
• The battery return connection is treated as DC-I, as defined in GR-1089-CORE, issue 3.

1.16 Alarm, Timing, LAN, and Craft Pin Connections
The ONS 15454 has redundant –48 VDC #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.
To install redundant power feeds, use four power cables and one ground cable. For a single power feed,
only two power cables (#10 AWG, 2.588 mm² [0.1018 inch], copper conductor, 194°F [90°C]) and one
ground cable (#6 AWG, 4.115 mm² [0.162 inch]) are required. Use a conductor with low impedance to
ensure circuit overcurrent protection. However, the conductor must have the capability to safely conduct
any faulty 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 AWG
(2.588 mm² [0.1018 inch]), with an integral lock washer. The lug must be a dual-hole type and rated to
accept the #6 AWG (4.115 mm² [0.162 inch]) cable. Two posts are provided on the Cisco ONS 15454 to
accommodate the dual-hole lug. Figure 1-41 shows the location of the ground posts.

The ONS 15454 has a backplane pin field located at the bottom of the backplane. The backplane pin field
provides 0.045 square inch (29 mm2) wire-wrap pins for enabling external alarms, timing input and
output, and craft interface terminals. This section describes the backplane pin field and the pin
assignments for the field. Figure 1-42 shows the wire-wrap pins on the backplane pin field. Beneath each
wire-wrap pin is a frame ground pin. Frame ground pins are labeled FG1, FG2, FG3, etc. Install the
ground shield of the cables connected to the backplane to the ground pin that corresponds to the pin field
used.
Note The AIC-I requires a shelf assembly running Software Release 3.4.0 or later. The backplane of the ANSI
shelf contains a wire-wrap field with pin assignment according to the layout in Figure 1-42. The shelf
assembly might be an existing shelf that has been upgraded to R3.4 or later. In this case the backplane
pin labeling appears as indicated in Figure 1-43 on page 1-69. But you must use the pin assignments
provided by the AIC-I as shown in Figure 1-42.

1.16.1 Alarm Contact Connections
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 (external alarm) and ENVIR ALARM OUT (external control)
pin fields. These alarms are in the ENVIR ALARMS category; you must have the AIC-I 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 1-43 shows alarm pin assignments.

Chapter 1 Shelf and Backplane Hardware
1.16.2 Timing Connections
Visual and audible alarms are typically wired to trigger an alarm light or bell 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
TCC2/TCC2P 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. For more
information, see the “2.7.2 External Alarms and Controls” section on page 2-30.
1.16.2 Timing Connections
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
last four BITS pins, rows 1 and 2, perform the identical functions for the second external timing device.
Table 1-29 lists the pin assignments for the BITS timing pin fields.
Note For timing connection, use 100-ohm shielded BITS clock cable pair #22 or #24 AWG (0.51 mm² [0.020
inch] or 0.64 mm² [0.0252 inch]), twisted-pair T1-type.
Note Refer to Telcordia SR-NWT-002224 for rules about provisioning timing references.
For more information, see Chapter 10, “Timing.”
1.16.3 LAN Connections
Use the LAN pins on the ONS 15454 backplane to connect the ONS 15454 to a workstation or Ethernet
LAN, or to a LAN modem for remote access to the node. You can also use the LAN port on the
TCC2/TCC2P card faceplate to connect a workstation or to connect the ONS 15454 to the network.
Table 1-30 shows the LAN pin assignments.
Before you can 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).

1.16.4 TL1 Craft Interface Installation
You can use the craft pins on the ONS 15454 backplane or the EIA/TIA-232 port on the TCC2/TCC2P
card faceplate to create a VT100 emulation window to serve as a TL1 craft interface to the ONS 15454.
Use a straight-through cable to connect to the EIA/TIA-232 port. Table 1-31 shows the pin assignments
for the CRAFT pin field.
Note You cannot use the craft backplane pins and the EIA/TIA-232 port on the TCC2/TCC2P card
simultaneously.
Note To use the serial port craft interface wire-wrap pins on the backplane, the DTR signal line on the
backplane port wire-wrap pin must be connected and active.
1.17 Cards and Slots
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.

1.17.1 Card Slot Requirements
The ONS 15454 shelf assembly has 17 card slots numbered sequentially from left to right. Slots 1 to 6
and 12 to 17 are multiservice slots that are used for electrical, optical, and Ethernet cards (traffic cards).
Card compatibility depends on the EIA, protection scheme, and cross-connect card type used in the
shelf. Refer to the “3.1.2 Card Compatibility” section on page 3-3 for more detailed compatibility
information.
Slots 7 and 11 are dedicated to TCC2/TCC2P cards. Slots 8 and 10 are dedicated to cross-connect
(XCVT, XC10G, and XC-VXC-10G) cards. Slot 9 is reserved for the optional AIC-I card. Slots 3 and
15 can also host electrical cards that are used for 1:N protection. (See the “7.1 Electrical Card
Protection” section on page 7-1 for a list of electrical cards that can operate as protect cards.)
Caution Do not operate the ONS 15454 with a single TCC2/TCC2P card or a single
XCVT/XC10G/XC-VXC-10G card installed. Always operate the shelf assembly with one working and
one protect card of the same type.
Shelf assembly slots have symbols indicating the type of cards that you can install in them. Each
ONS 15454 card has a corresponding symbol. The symbol on the card must match the symbol on the slot.
Table 1-32 shows the slot and card symbol definitions.

1.17.2 Card Replacement
1.17.2 Card Replacement
To replace an ONS 15454 card with another card of the same type, you do not need to make any changes
to the database; remove the old card and replace it with a new card. To replace a card with a card of a
different type, physically remove the card and replace it with the new card, then delete the original card
from CTC. For specifics, refer to the “Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable” chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Caution Removing any active card from the ONS 15454 can result in traffic interruption. Use caution when
replacing cards and verify that only inactive or standby cards are being replaced. If the active card needs
to be replaced, switch it to standby prior to removing the card from the node. For traffic switching
procedures, refer to the “Maintain the Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Note An improper removal (IMPROPRMVL) alarm is raised whenever a card is removed and reinserted
(reseated) is performed, unless the card is deleted in CTC first. The alarm clears after the card
replacement is complete.
Note In a path protection configuration, pulling the active XCVT/XC10G without a lockout causes path
protection circuits to switch.

Common Control Cards
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This chapter describes Cisco ONS 15454 common control card functions. For installation and turn-up
procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Chapter topics include:
• 2.1 Common Control Card Overview, page 2-1
• 2.2 TCC2 Card, page 2-6
• 2.3 TCC2P Card, page 2-10
• 2.4 XCVT Card, page 2-15

2.1 Common Control Card Overview
The card overview section summarizes card functions and compatibility.
Each card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 shelf assembly.
The cards are then installed into slots displaying the same symbols. See the “1.17.1 Card Slot
Requirements” section on page 1-72 for a list of slots and symbols.
2.1.1 Cards Summary
Table 2-1 lists the common control cards for the Cisco ONS 15454 and summarizes card functions.

Table 2-1 Common Control Card Functions
Card Description For Additional Information...
TCC2 The Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control
(TCC2) card is the main processing center for the
ONS 15454 and provides system initialization,
provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, and
diagnostics. It has additional features including
supply voltage monitoring, support for up to 84 data
communications channel/generic communications
channel (DCC/GCC) terminations, and an on-card
lamp test.
See the “2.2 TCC2 Card” section on page 2-6.
TCC2P The Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control
Plus (TCC2P) card is the main processing center for
the ONS 15454 and provides system initialization,
provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, and
diagnostics. It also provides supply voltage
monitoring, support for up to 84 DCC/GCC
terminations, and an on-card lamp test. This card also
has Ethernet security features and 64K composite
clock building integrated timing supply (BITS)
timing.
See the “2.3 TCC2P Card” section on
page 2-10.
XCVT The Cross Connect Virtual Tributary (XCVT) card is
the central element for switching; it establishes
connections and performs time-division switching
(TDS). The XCVT can manage STS and Virtual
Tributary (VT) circuits up to 48c.
See the “2.4 XCVT Card” section on
page 2-15.
XC10G The 10 Gigabit Cross Connect (XC10G) card is the
central element for switching; it establishes
connections and performs TDS. The XC10G can
manage STS and VT circuits up to 192c. The XC10G
allows up to four times the bandwidth of XC and
XCVT cards.
See the “2.5 XC10G Card” section on
page 2-19.
XC-VXC-10G The 10 Gigabit Cross Connect Virtual
Tributary/Virtual Container (XC-VXC-10G) card
serves as the switching matrix for the Cisco 15454
ANSI multiservice platform. The module operates as
a superset of the XCVT or XC10G cross-connect
module. The XC-VXC-10G card provides a
maximum of 1152 STS-1 or 384 VC4
cross-connections and supports cards with speeds up
to 10 Gbps.
See the “2.6 XC-VXC-10G Card” section on
page 2-23.
AIC-I The Alarm Interface Card–International (AIC-I)
provides customer-defined (environmental) alarms
with its additional input/output alarm contact
closures. It also provides orderwire, user data
channels, and supply voltage monitoring.
See the “2.7 AIC-I Card” section on
page 2-28.
AEP The alarm expansion panel (AEP) board provides
48 dry alarm contacts: 32 inputs and 16 outputs. It can
be used with the AIC-I card.

Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
2.2.2 TCC2 Card-Level Indicators
The TCC2 card also originates and terminates a cell bus carried over the module. The cell bus supports
links between any two cards in the node, which is essential for peer-to-peer communication. Peer-to-peer
communication accelerates protection switching for redundant cards.
The node database, IP address, and system software are stored in TCC2 card nonvolatile memory, which
allows quick recovery in the event of a power or card failure.
The TCC2 card performs all system-timing functions for each ONS 15454. The TCC2 monitors the
recovered clocks from each traffic card and two BITS ports (DS1, 1.544 MHz) for frequency accuracy.
The TCC2 selects a recovered clock, a BITS, or an internal Stratum 3 reference as the system-timing
reference. You can provision any of the clock inputs as primary or secondary timing sources. A
slow-reference tracking loop allows the TCC2 to synchronize with the recovered clock, which provides
holdover if the reference is lost.
The TCC2 monitors both supply voltage inputs on the shelf. An alarm is generated if one of the supply
voltage inputs has a voltage out of the specified range.
Install TCC2 cards in Slots 7 and 11 for redundancy. If the active TCC2 fails, traffic switches to the
protect TCC2. All TCC2 protection switches conform to protection switching standards when the bit
error rate (BER) counts are not in excess of 1 * 10 exp – 3 and completion time is less than 50 ms.
The TCC2 card has two built-in interface ports for accessing the system: an RJ-45 10BaseT LAN
interface and an EIA/TIA-232 ASCII interface for local craft access. It also has a 10BaseT LAN port for
user interfaces over the backplane.
Note When using the LAN RJ-45 craft interface or back panel wirewrap LAN connection, the connection must
be 10BASE T, half duplex. Full duplex and autonegotiate settings should not be used because they might
result in a loss of visibility to the node.
Note Cisco does not support operation of the ONS 15454 with only one TCC2 card. For full functionality and
to safeguard your system, always operate with two TCC2 cards.
Note When a second TCC2 card is inserted into a node, it synchronizes its software, its backup software, and
its database with the active TCC2. If the software version of the new TCC2 does not match the version
on the active TCC2, the newly inserted TCC2 copies from the active TCC2, taking about
15 to 20 minutes to complete. If the backup software version on the new TCC2 does not match the
version on the active TCC2, the newly inserted TCC2 copies the backup software from the active TCC2
again, taking about 15 to 20 minutes. Copying the database from the active TCC2 takes about 3 minutes.
Depending on the software version and backup version the new TCC2 started with, the entire process
can take between 3 and 40 minutes.
2.2.2 TCC2 Card-Level Indicators
The TCC2 faceplate has ten LEDs. Table 2-8 describes the two card-level LEDs on the TCC2 card

Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.4.2 TCC2P Card Specifications” section on page A-13.
The TCC2P card is an enhanced version of the TCC2 card. For Software Release 5.0 and later, the
primary enhancements are Ethernet security features and 64K composite clock BITS timing. It also
supports E1 SDH external timing sources so that a SONET shelf can be deployed in a network using
SDH timing. SDH timing is typically used when the SONET platform is deployed for Au3 SDH
applications.
The TCC2P card performs system initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance,
diagnostics, IP address detection/resolution, SONET SOH DCC/GCC termination, and system fault
detection for the ONS 15454. The TCC2P card also ensures that the system maintains Stratum 3

when the BER counts are not in excess of 1 * 10 exp – 3 and completion time is less than 50 ms.
The TCC2P card has two built-in Ethernet interface ports for accessing the system: one built-in RJ-45
port on the front faceplate for on-site craft access and a second port on the backplane. The rear Ethernet
interface is for permanent LAN access and all remote access via TCP/IP as well as for Operations
Support System (OSS) access. The front and rear Ethernet interfaces can be provisioned with different
IP addresses using CTC.
Two EIA/TIA-232 serial ports, one on the faceplate and a second on the backplane, allow for craft
interface in TL1 mode.
Note To use the serial port craft interface wire-wrap pins on the backplane, the DTR signal line on the
backplane port wire-wrap pin must be connected and active.
Note When using the LAN RJ-45 craft interface or back panel wirewrap LAN connection, the connection must
be 10BASE T, half duplex. Full duplex and autonegotiate settings should not be used because they might
result in a loss of visibility to the node.
Note Cisco does not support operation of the ONS 15454 with only one TCC2P card. For full functionality

Note When a second TCC2P card is inserted into a node, it synchronizes its software, its backup software, and

2.3.1.1 System Timing Functions
The TCC2P card performs all system-timing functions for each ONS 15454. The TCC2P card monitors
the recovered clocks from each traffic card and two BITS ports (BITS_IN_A and BITS_IN-B) for
frequency accuracy. The TCC2P card selects a recovered clock, a BITS clock, or an internal Stratum 3

2.3.1 TCC2P Functionality
reference as the system-timing reference. You can provision any of the clock inputs as primary or
secondary timing sources. A slow-reference tracking loop allows the TCC2P card to synchronize with
the recovered clock, which provides holdover if the reference is lost.
The minimum free-run accuracy, holdover stability, pull-in, and hold-in characteristics are as defined in
ITU-T G.813 option I in Section 5, 6, and 10, ITU-T G.811 Section 5, and ITU-T G.812 Sections 6 and
7, as well as in ANSI EN 300 462-5-1.
Note If SDH timing is selected (see the “2.3.1.1.2 SDH Timing Operation” section on page 2-13), it is not
possible to select an E1 or DS1 port from the DS1/E1-56 high-density card as a timing reference.
2.3.1.1.1 SONET Timing Operation
The TCC2P card supports a 64 kHz + 8 kHz composite clock BITS input (BITS IN) as well as a
6.312-MHz BITS OUT clock. The BITS clock on the system is configurable as DS1 (default),
1.544 MHz, or 64 kHz. The BITS OUT clock runs at a rate determined by the BITS IN clock, as follows:
• If BITS IN = DS1, then BITS OUT = DS1 (default)
• If BITS IN = 1.544 MHz (square wave clock), then BITS OUT = 1.544 MHz (square wave clock)
• If BITS IN = 64 kHz, then BITS OUT = 6.312 MHz or DS1
A BITS output interface configured as 6.312 MHz complies with ITU-T G.703, Appendix II, Table II.4,
with a monitor level of –40 dBm +/– 4 dBm.
2.3.1.1.2 SDH Timing Operation
The TCC2P card supports typical external E1 SDH timing sources so that the card can be provisioned to
accept either an SDH or SONET timing standard. The initial default is for the card to use SONET timing;
the default can be changed to SDH timing after the TCC2P card boots up. The BITS OUT clock runs at
a rate determined by the BITS IN clock, as follows:
• If BITS IN = E1, then BITS OUT = E1
• If BITS IN = 2.048 MHz (square wave clock), then BITS OUT = 2.048 MHz (square wave clock)
• If BITS IN = 64 kHz, then BITS OUT = 6.312 MHz
The TCC2P card supports the E1 BITS OUT signal as defined in ITU-T G.703 Section 9, and the BITS
OUT 2.048 MHz signal as defined in ITU-T G.703 Section 13. All of the BITS OUT signals meet the
output signal criteria (including jitter and wander) as defined in ITU-T G.813 Sections 5 and 6, ITU-T
G.811 Section 5, and ITU-T G.812, Section 6.
When SDH timing is selected, SDH Sync Status Messaging (SSM) is transmitted on the output ports and
received on the input ports. SSM can be enabled or disabled.
The following framing options are allowed when E1 2.048 MHz timing is selected:
• Frame Alignment Signal (FAS)
• Frame Alignment Signal plus Channel Associated Signal (FAS + CAS)
• Frame Alignment Signal plus Cyclic Redundancy Check (FAS + CRC)
• Frame Alignment Signal plus Channel Associated Signal plus Cyclic Redundancy Check (FAS +
CAS + CRC)

2.4.2 VT Mapping
The XCVT card works with the TCC2/TCC2P cards to maintain connections and set up cross-connects
within the node. The cross-connect cards (such as the XCVT and XC10G), installed in Slots 8 and 10,
are required to operate the ONS 15454. You can establish cross-connect (circuit) information through
CTC. The TCC2/TCC2P cards establish the proper internal cross-connect information and relay the
setup information to the XCVT card.
Caution Do not operate the ONS 15454 with only one cross-connect card. Two cross-connect cards of the same
type (two XCVT or two XC10G cards) must always be installed.
Figure 2-4 shows the cross-connect matrix.

2.5.5 XCVT/XC10G/XC-VXC-10G Compatibility
The XC10G and XC-VXC-10G cards support the same features as the XCVT card. The XC10G or
XC-VXC-10G cards are required for OC-192, OC-48 any-slot (AS), OC3-8, and OC12-4 operation. Do
not use the XCVT card if you are using an OC-192, OC3-8, or OC12-4 card or if you install an OC-48
AS card in Slots 1 to 4 or 14 to 17.
Note A configuration mismatch alarm occurs when an XCVT cross-connect card co-exists with an OC-192,
OC3-8, or OC12-4 card placed in Slots 5, 6, 12, or 13 or with an OC-48 card placed in Slots 1 to 4 or 14

2.6.1 XC-VXC-10G Functionality
At the STS level (high-order cross-connect), the XC-VXC-10G is always non-blocking (any STS-1 from
the system can be cross-connected to any other STS-1 without limitation up to 1152 bidirectional STS-1
ports (576 STS-1 cross-connects).
In addition, for “mixed” VT1.5 and VT2 grooming, 50% of the available VT resources (ports) are
allocated to each VT circuit type. The following three modes are supported (only one mode is available
at a time):
• Mode 1: full VT1.5 cross-connect, which is 2688 bidirectional VT1.5 ports (1344 bidirectional
VT1.5 cross-connects)
• Mode 2: full VT2 cross-connect, which is 2016 bidirectional VT2 ports (1008 bidirectional VT2
cross-connects)
• Mode 3 (mixed grooming): 50% VT1.5 and 50% VT2 XC, which is 1344 bidirectional VT1.5 ports
and 1008 bidirectional VT2 ports (672 bidirectional VT1.5 and 504 VT2 bidirectional
cross-connects)
The XC-VXC-10G card provides:
• 1152 STS bidirectional ports
• 576 STS bidirectional cross-connects
• 2688 VT1.5 ports via 96 logical STS ports
• 1344 VT1.5 bidirectional cross-connects
• 2016 VT2 ports via 96 logical STS ports
• 1008 VT2 bidirectional cross-connects
• Mixed grooming (50% VT1.5 and 50% VT2)
• Nonblocking at the STS level
• VT1.5, VT2, and STS-1/3c/6c/12c/48c/192c cross-connects
Note VT 2 circuit provisioning works between optical cards and the DS3/EC1-48 card (EC1 ports, not the
ports provisioned for DS3)
The XC-VXC-10G supports errorless side switches (switching from one XC-VXC-10G on one side of
the shelf to the other XC-VXC-10G on the other side of the shelf) when the switch is initiated through
software and the shelf is equipped with TCC2/TCC2P cards. The XCVT and XC10G cards do not
support errorless switching.
Cross-connect and provisioning information is established through the user interface on the
TCC2/TCC2P card. In turn, the TCC2/TCC2P card establishes the proper internal cross-connect
information and relays the setup information to the XC-VXC-10G card so that the proper
cross-connection is established within the system.
The XC-VXC-10G card is deployed in Slots 8 or 10. Upgrading a system to an XC-VXC-10G from an
earlier cross-connect module type is performed in-service, with hitless operation (less than 50-ms impact
to any traffic). The XC-VXC-10G can be used with either the standard ANSI shelf assembly
(15454-SA-ANSI) or high-density shelf assembly (15454-SA-HD).
Caution Do not operate the ONS 15454 with only one XC-VXC-10G cross-connect card. Two cross-connect
cards must always be installed.

2.7.2 External Alarms and Controls
The AIC-I card provides input/output alarm contact closures. You can define up to twelve external alarm
inputs and 4 external alarm inputs/outputs (user configurable). The physical connections are made using
the backplane wire-wrap pins. See the “1.12 Alarm Expansion Panel” section on page 1-56 for
information about increasing the number of input/output contacts.
LEDs on the front panel of the AIC-I indicate the status of the alarm lines, one LED representing all of
the inputs and one LED representing all of the outputs. External alarms (input contacts) are typically
used for external sensors such as open doors, temperature sensors, flood sensors, and other
environmental conditions. External controls (output contacts) are typically used to drive visual or
audible devices such as bells and lights, but they can control other devices such as generators, heaters,
and fans.
You can program each of the twelve input alarm contacts separately. You can program each of the sixteen
input alarm contacts separately. Choices include:
• Alarm on Closure or Alarm on Open
• Alarm severity of any level (Critical, Major, Minor, Not Alarmed, Not Reported)
• Service Affecting or Non-Service Affecting alarm-service level
• 63-character alarm description for CTC display in the alarm log. You cannot assign the fan-tray
abbreviation for the alarm; the abbreviation reflects the generic name of the input contacts. The
alarm condition remains raised until the external input stops driving the contact or you unprovision
the alarm input.
You cannot assign the fan-tray abbreviation for the alarm; the abbreviation reflects the generic name of
the input contacts. The alarm condition remains raised until the external input stops driving the contact

Green/Red PWR A LED The PWR A LED is green when a supply voltage within a specified range
has been sensed on supply input A. It is red when the input voltage on supply
input A is out of range.
Green/Red PWR B LED The PWR B LED is green when a supply voltage within a specified range has
been sensed on supply input B. It is red when the input voltage on supply
input B is out of range.
Amber INPUT LED The INPUT LED is amber when there is an alarm condition on at least one
of the alarm inputs.
Amber OUTPUT LED The OUTPUT LED is amber when there is an alarm condition on at least one
of the alarm outputs.
Green RING LED The RING LED on the local orderwire (LOW) side is flashing green when a
call is received on the LOW.
Green RING LED The RING LED on the express orderwire (EOW) side is flashing green when
a call is received on the EOW.

Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
2.7.3 Orderwire
The output contacts can be provisioned to close on a trigger or to close manually. The trigger can be a
local alarm severity threshold, a remote alarm severity, or a virtual wire:
• Local NE alarm severity: A hierarchy of Not Reported, Not Alarmed, Minor, Major, or Critical
alarm severities that you set to cause output closure. For example, if the trigger is set to Minor, a
Minor alarm or above is the trigger.
• Remote NE alarm severity: Same as the local network element (NE) alarm severity but applies to
remote alarms only.
• Virtual wire entities: You can provision any environmental alarm input to raise a signal on any
virtual wire on external outputs 1 through 4 when the alarm input is an event. You can provision a
signal on any virtual wire as a trigger for an external control output.
You can also program the output alarm contacts (external controls) separately. In addition to
provisionable triggers, you can manually force each external output contact to open or close. Manual
operation takes precedence over any provisioned triggers that might be present.
Note The number of inputs and outputs can be increased using the AEP. The AEP is connected to the shelf
backplane and requires an external wire-wrap panel.
2.7.3 Orderwire
Orderwire allows a craftsperson to plug a phoneset into an ONS 15454 and communicate with
craftspeople working at other ONS 15454s or other facility equipment. The orderwire is a pulse code
modulation (PCM) encoded voice channel that uses E1 or E2 bytes in section/line overhead.
The AIC-I allows simultaneous use of both local (section overhead signal) and express (line overhead
signal) orderwire channels on an SDH ring or particular optics facility. Express orderwire also allows
communication via regeneration sites when the regenerator is not a Cisco device.
You can provision orderwire functions with CTC similar to the current provisioning model for
DCC/GCC channels. In CTC, you provision the orderwire communications network during ring turn-up
so that all NEs on the ring can reach one another. Orderwire terminations (that is, the optics facilities
that receive and process the orderwire channels) are provisionable. Both express and local orderwire can
be configured as on or off on a particular SONET facility. The ONS 15454 supports up to four orderwire
channel terminations per shelf. This allows linear, single ring, dual ring, and small hub-and-spoke
configurations. Keep in mind that orderwire is not protected in ring topologies such as bidirectional line
switched rings (BLSRs) and path protection configurations.
Caution Do not configure orderwire loops. Orderwire loops cause feedback that disables the orderwire channel.
The ONS 15454 implementation of both local and express orderwire is broadcast in nature. The line acts
as a party line. Anyone who picks up the orderwire channel can communicate with all other participants
on the connected orderwire subnetwork. The local orderwire party line is separate from the express
orderwire party line. Up to four OC-N facilities for each local and express orderwire are provisionable
as orderwire paths.
Note The OC3 IR 4/STM1 SH 1310 card does not support the express orderwire channel.

Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
2.7.4 Power Monitoring
The AIC-I supports selective dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) dialing for telephony connectivity,
which causes one AIC-I card or all ONS 15454 AIC-I cards on the orderwire subnetwork to “ring.” The
ringer/buzzer resides on the AIC-I. There is also a “ring” LED that mimics the AIC-I ringer. It flashes
when a call is received on the orderwire subnetwork. A party line call is initiated by pressing *0000 on
the DTMF pad. Individual dialing is initiated by pressing * and the individual four-digit number on the
DTMF pad.
Table 2-20 shows the pins on the orderwire connector that correspond to the tip and ring orderwire
assignments.
When provisioning the orderwire subnetwork, make sure that an orderwire loop does not exist. Loops
cause oscillation and an unusable orderwire channel.
Figure 2-10 shows the standard RJ-11 connectors used for orderwire ports. Use a shielded RJ-11 cable.
Figure 2-10 RJ-11 Connector
2.7.4 Power Monitoring
The AIC-I card provides a power monitoring circuit that monitors the supply voltage of –48 VDC for
presence, undervoltage, or overvoltage.
2.7.5 User Data Channel
The user data channel (UDC) features a dedicated data channel of 64 kbps (F1 byte) between two nodes
in an ONS 15454 network. Each AIC-I card provides two user data channels, UDC-A and UDC-B,
through separate RJ-11 connectors on the front of the AIC-I card. Use an unshielded RJ-11 cable. Each
UDC can be routed to an individual optical interface in the ONS 15454. For UDC circuit provisioning,
refer to the “Create Circuits and VT Tunnels” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
The UDC ports are standard RJ-11 receptacles. Table 2-21 lists the UDC pin assignments.

The DCC features a dedicated data channel of 576 kbps (D4 to D12 bytes) between two nodes in an
ONS 15454 network. Each AIC-I card provides two DCCs, DCC-A and DCC-B, through separate RJ-45
connectors on the front of the AIC-I card. Use a shielded RJ-45 cable. Each DCC can be routed to an
individual optical interface in the ONS 15454.

3.2 Bit Error Rate Testing
3.2 Bit Error Rate Testing
The bit error rate testing (BERT) feature can be used to test the connectivity, error rate, and error count
of the traffic running on an electrical input/output (I/O) card port. The BERT feature is currently
supported for ONS 15454 DS1/E1-56 and DS3XM-12 electrical cards only.
BERT is broadly classified into two components—Test Pattern Generator (TPG) and Test Pattern
Monitor (TPM) and is called Test Pattern Generator and Monitor (TPGM) when referring to Test Pattern
Generator and Monitor.
TPG generates test patterns like PRBS15, PRBS20, PRBS23, QRSS and ATL1s0s (alternating ones and
zeroes). TPM monitors test patterns like PRBS15, PRBS20, PRBS23, QRSS and ALT1s0s. TPG and
TPM inject and monitor errors in the test pattern for both single bit and multirate (1.0E-3, 1.0E-4, 1.0E-5
and 1.0E-6) errors.
TPGM-L enables test pattern generation and monitoring on the line side. This option is not available for
the DS1 port in the DS3XM-12 card because you can configure DS1 port on the backplane side only.
TPGM-B enables test pattern generation and monitoring on the backplane side. You can enable TPGM-B
on a port only if the port has a bidirectional circuit.
Note The port must be in Out-of-Service and Maintenance (OOS-MT) state before enabling TPGM-L or
TPGM-B. OOS-MT state puts the circuit cross-connects to a service state. This service state does not
interrupt traffic flow and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit. OOS-MT however, suppresses
any alarms and conditions. Change the administrative state to IS, OOS, or IS-AINS when testing is
complete. For information on how to set the port to OOS-MT state, see the “DLP-A230 Change a Circuit
Service State” task in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide, Release 8.5.
Note To enable TPGM-L or TPGM-B on a DS1 port, the line framing type must be D4, ESF, or unframed.
Note At any given time, you can enable BERT mode only on a single port of a card.
The following table summarizes if BERT can be enabled on the line side or backplane side for
DS1/E1-56 and DS3XM-12 electrical cards.
Note “Yes” indicates that BERT can be enabled on the line side (TPGM-L) or backplane side (TPGM-B).
For information on how to enable BERT on the DS1/E1-56 and DS3XM-12 cards, see the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide, Release 8.5.

3.3 EC1-12 Card
BERT Alarms
The BERT feature can raise the following two alarms in CTC:
• BERT_ENABL—Specifies that BERT feature is enabled.
• BERT_SYNC_FAIL—Synchronization is necessary and occurs when the errors injected by the TPG
reach the TPM and connectivity is established. The BERT_SYNC_FAIL alarm occurs when
synchronization fails.
Both the alarms are non-reportable conditions, non-service affecting, and no severity is associated with
these two conditions.
3.3 EC1-12 Card
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.5.1 EC1-12 Card Specifications” section on page A-17.
The EC1-12 card provides 12 Telcordia-compliant, GR-253 STS-1 electrical ports per card. Each port
operates at 51.840 Mbps over a single 75-ohm, 728A or equivalent coaxial span.
STS path selection for UNEQ-P, AIS-P, and bit error rate (BER) thresholds is done on the SONET ring
interfaces (optical cards) in conjunction with the STS cross-connect. The EC1-12 terminates but does
not select the 12 working STS-1 signals from the backplane. The EC1-12 maps each of the 12 received
EC1 signals into 12 STS-1s with visibility into the SONET path overhead.
An EC1-12 card can be 1:1 protected with another EC1-12 card but cannot protect more than one EC1-12
card. You must install the EC1-12 in an even-numbered slot to serve as a working card and in an
odd-numbered slot to serve as a protect card.
3.3.1 EC1-12 Slots and Connectors
You can install the EC1-12 card in Slots 1 to 6 or 12 to 17 on the ONS 15454. Each EC1-12 interface
features DSX-level (digital signal cross-connect frame) outputs supporting distances up to 450 feet
(137 meters) depending on facility conditions. See the “7.2 Electrical Card Protection and the
Backplane” section on page 7-5 for more information about electrical card slot protection and
restrictions.

3.4 DS1-14 and DS1N-14 Cards
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.5.2 DS1-14 and DS1N-14 Card Specifications” section on
page A-18.
The ONS 15454 DS1-14 card provides 14 Telcordia-compliant, GR-499 DS-1 ports. Each port operates
at 1.544 Mbps over a 100-ohm, twisted-pair copper cable. The DS1-14 card can function as a working
or protect card in 1:1 protection schemes and as a working card in 1:N protection schemes. Each DS1-14
port has digital signal cross-connect frame (DSX)-level outputs supporting distances up to 655 feet (200
meters).
The DS1-14 card supports 1:1 protection. The DS1-14 can be a working card in a 1:N protection scheme
with the proper backplane EIA and wire-wrap or AMP Champ connectors. You can also provision the
DS1-14 to monitor for line and frame errors in both directions.
You can group and map DS1-14 card traffic in STS-1 increments to any other card in an ONS 15454
except DS-3 cards. Each DS-1 is asynchronously mapped into a SONET VT1.5 payload and the card
carries a DS-1 payload intact in a VT1.5. For performance monitoring purposes, you can gather
bidirectional DS-1 frame-level information (LOF, parity errors, cyclic redundancy check [CRC] errors,
and so on).
3.4.1 DS1N-14 Features and Functions
The DS1N-14 card supports the same features as the DS1-14 card in addition to enhanced protection
schemes. The DS1N-14 is capable of 1:N (N <= 5) protection with the proper backplane EIA and
wire-wrap or AMP Champ connectors. The DS1N-14 card can function as a working or protect card in
1:1 or 1:N protection schemes.

3.11 DS3XM-12 Card
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.5.8 DS3XM-12 Card Specifications” section on page A-25.
The DS3XM-12 card, commonly referred to as a transmux card, provides twelve Telcordia-compliant,
GR-499-CORE M13 multiplexing ports. The DS3XM-12 converts up to 12 framed DS-3 network
connections to 12 x 28 VT1.5s.
3.11.1 Backplane Configurations
The DS3XM-12 card has 12 framed DS-3 physical ports (known as “ported” mode). The card also
supports a maximum of 12 “portless” DS3-mapped STS1 interfaces depending on the type of
cross-connect used. Each physical port corresponds to two portless ports. If a circuit is provisioned to a
physical port, its associated portless pair becomes unavailable and vice versa. See the “11.4 Portless
Transmux” section on page 11-15 for more information.
The DS3XM-12 card is compatible with the XCVT, XC10G, and XC-VXC-10G cross-connect cards.
Note The DS3XM-12 card supports an errorless software-initiated cross-connect card switch when used in a
shelf equipped with XC-VXC-10G and TCC2/TCC2P cards.
Caution During an upgrade of the DS3XM-6 card to DS3XM-12 card, the DS-3XM-12 card (in slots 1 to 5)
encounters an insufficient cable loss of margin when the LBO setting on the DS-3 input ports are set
between 225 to 450 feet cable lengths.

Chapter 3 Electrical Cards
3.11.2 Ported Mode
The DS3XM-12 supports three different backplane throughput configurations:
• STS-48 when an XC10G or XC-VXC-10G card is used. This configuration supports the OC-48 rate
in any slot.
• STS-48 for the Slots 5, 6, 12, and 13 when an XCVT card is used.
• STS-12 for Slot 1 through 4, and 7 through 12 slots when an XCVT card is used. This configuration
is bandwidth-limiting in the portless mode of operation.
The backplane throughput configuration is selected in CTC card view using the Maintenance > Card tab.
3.11.2 Ported Mode
The “ported” mode supports up to 12 framed DS-3 bidirectional mapped signals to each DS3XM-12
card, where the traffic is demultiplexed and mapped into a VT1.5 payload. This payload is then mapped
and multiplexed up to a bidirectional STS-1.
3.11.3 Portless Mode
The “portless” mode allows for IXC hand off connections through a standard SONET fiber optical
interface with DS-3-mapped STS-1s as a payload. This physical connection is accomplished with any of
the OC-N cards. The system cross-connect grooms the DS-3 mapped STS1 traffic to the appropriate
DS3XM-12 card, where the traffic is demultiplexed and mapped into a VT1.5 payload. This payload is
then mapped and multiplexed up to a higher rate STS-1. See the “11.4 Portless Transmux” section on
page 11-15 for more information.
3.11.4 Shelf Configurations
The DS3XM-12 card supports the XCVT, XC10G, and XC-VXC-10G cards. The DS3XM-12 card is
supported in any of the multiservice slots (Slots 1 through 6 and 12 through 17).
The DS3XM-12 card operates at the VT1.5 level and supports a maximum of 6 or 12 ports of “portless”
(DS-3-mapped STS1s) interface, depending on the shelf configuration (see Table 3-14).
Caution Do not install low-density DS-1 cards in the same side of the shelf as DS3XM-12 cards.

3.11.5 Protection Modes
3.11.5 Protection Modes
The DS3XM-12 card supports 1:1 and 1:N protection groups, where N <= 5. However, N <= 7 if one of
the following conditions is true:
• Only portless connections are used.
• A combination of ported and portless connections is used but all the ported cards being protected
are on the same side of the chassis as the protecting card.
These protection groups can be implemented in the ONS 15454 SONET platform for both the A and B
sides and do not require a special protect card.
In 1:N protection, the protect card must be in Slot 3 or 15. In 1:1 protection, the working and protect
cards must be in adjacent slots. The protection switches cause a traffic hit of no more than 50 ms. See
the “7.2 Electrical Card Protection and the Backplane” section on page 7-5 for more information about
electrical card slot protection and restrictions.
In 1:1 or 1:N protection group with DS3XM12 cards having different backplane bandwidths, when a
protection switch moves traffic from the working/active card to the protect/standby card or vice versa, it
causes a traffic hit of greater than 50ms.

4.1.2 Card Compatibility
Note The Cisco OC3 IR/STM1 SH, OC12 IR/STM4 SH, and OC48 IR/STM16 SH interface optics, all
working at 1310 nm, are optimized for the most widely used SMF-28 fiber, available from many
suppliers.
Corning MetroCor fiber is optimized for optical interfaces that transmit at 1550 nm or in the C and L
DWDM windows, and targets interfaces with higher dispersion tolerances than those found in
OC3 IR/STM1 SH, OC12 IR/STM4 SH, and OC48 IR/STM16 SH interface optics. If you are using
Corning MetroCor fiber, OC3 IR/STM1 SH, OC12 IR/STM4 SH, and OC48 IR/STM16 SH interface
optics become dispersion limited before they become attenuation limited. In this case, consider using

Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.6.6 OC12 IR/STM4 SH 1310-4 Specifications” section on
page A-33. See Table 4-2 on page 4-5 for optical card compatibility.
The OC12 IR/STM4 SH 1310-4 card provides four intermediate or short range SONET/SDH
OC-12/STM-4 ports compliant with the ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
Each port operates at 622.08 Mbps over a single-mode fiber span. The card supports VT,
nonconcatenated (STS-1), or concatenated (STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, or STS-12c) payloads.
Warning
The laser is on when the optical card is booted. The port does not have to be in service for the laser
to be on.

4.7 OC12 IR/STM4 SH 1310-4 Card
Figure 4-6 OC12 IR/STM4 SH 1310-4 Faceplate and Block Diagram
You can install the OC12 IR/STM4 SH 1310-4 card in Slots 1 to 4 and 14 to 17. Each interface features
a 1310-nm laser and contains a transmit and receive connector (labeled) on the card faceplate. The card
uses SC connectors.
The OC12 IR/STM4 SH 1310-4 card supports 1+1 unidirectional and bidirectional protection switching.
You can provision protection on a per port basis.
The OC12 IR/STM4 SH 1310-4 card detects LOS, LOF, LOP, MS-AIS, and MS-FERF conditions. Refer
to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for a description of these conditions. The card also
counts section and line BIP errors.
To enable BLSR, the OC12 IR/STM4 SH 1310-4 card extracts the K1 and K2 bytes from the SONET
overhead and processes them to switch accordingly. The DCC/GCC bytes are forwarded to the
TCC2/TCC2P card, which terminates the DCC/GCC.
Note If you ever expect to upgrade an OC-12/STM-4 ring to a higher bit rate, you should not put an
OC12 IR/STM4 SH 1310-4 card in that ring. The four-port card is not upgradable to a single-port card.
The reason is that four different spans, possibly going to four different nodes, cannot be merged to a
single span.

1559.79 nm, and 1560.61 nm). These cards are also designed to interoperate with the Cisco ONS 15216
DWDM solution.
You can install the OC48 ELR/STM16 EH 100 GHz cards in Slots 5, 6, 12, and 13 and provision the card
as a drop or span card in a two-fiber or four-fiber BLSR, path protection, or ADM (linear) configuration.
Each OC48 ELR/STM16 EH 100 GHz card uses extended long-reach optics operating individually
within the ITU-T 100-GHz grid. The OC-48 DWDM cards are intended to be used in applications with
long unregenerated spans of up to 300 km (186 miles) (with mid-span amplification). These transmission
distances are achieved through the use of inexpensive optical amplifiers (flat gain amplifiers) such as
Cisco ONS 15216 erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs).
Maximum system reach in filterless applications is 26 dB without the use of optical amplifiers or
regenerators. However, system reach also depends on the condition of the facilities, the number of
splices and connectors, and other performance-affecting factors. When used in combination with

4.13 OC48 ELR 200 GHz Cards
Figure 4-12 OC48 ELR 200 GHz Faceplate and Block Diagram
Nine of the cards operate in the blue band with spacing of 200 GHz on the ITU grid (1530.33 nm,
1531.90 nm, 1533.47 nm, 1535.04 nm, 1536.61 nm, 1538.19 nm, 1539.77 nm, 1541.35 nm, and
1542.94 nm).
The other nine cards operate in the red band with spacing of 200 GHz on the ITU grid
(1547.72 nm, 1549.32 nm, 1550.92 nm, 1552.52 nm, 1554.13 nm, 1555.75 nm, 1557.36 nm,
1558.98 nm, and 1560.61 nm). These cards are also designed to interoperate with the Cisco ONS 15216
DWDM solution.
You can install the OC48 ELR 200 GHz cards in Slots 5, 6, 12, and 13, and provision the card as a drop
or span card in a two-fiber or four-fiber BLSR, path protection, or ADM (linear) configuration. Each
OC48 ELR 200 GHz card uses extended long-reach optics operating individually within the
ITU-T 200-GHz grid. The OC48 ELR 200 GHz cards are intended to be used in applications with long
unregenerated spans of up to 200 km (124 miles) (with mid-span amplification). These transmission
distances are achieved through the use of inexpensive optical amplifiers (flat gain amplifiers) such as
EDFAs. Using collocated amplification, distances up to 200 km (124 miles) can be achieved for a single
channel, 160 km (99 miles) for 8 channels.
Maximum system reach in filterless applications is 24 dB or approximately 80 km (50 miles) without
the use of optical amplifiers or regenerators. However, system reach also depends on the condition of the
facilities, the number of splices and connectors, and other performance-affecting factors. The
OC48 ELR DWDM cards feature wavelength stability of +/–0.25 nm. Each interface contains a
transmitter and receiver.

4.13.1 OC48 ELR 200 GHz Card-Level Indicators
The OC48 ELR 200 GHz cards support extended long-reach applications in conjunction with optical
amplification. Using electro-absorption technology, the OC48 DWDM cards provide a solution at the
lower extended long-reach distances.
The OC48 ELR 200 GHz interface features a 1550-nm laser and contains a transmit and receive
connector (labeled) on the card faceplate. The card uses SC connectors and supports 1+1 unidirectional

Note You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the
OC192 LR/STM64 LH 15xx.xx card in a loopback. Do not use fiber loopbacks with the
OC192 LR/STM64 LH 15xx.xx card. Using fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to this card.
Eight of the cards operate in the blue band with a spacing of 100 GHz in the ITU grid (1534.25 nm,
1535.04 nm, 1535.82 nm, 1536.61 nm, 1538.19 nm, 1538.98 nm, 1539.77 nm, and 1540.56 nm). The
other eight cards operate in the red band with a spacing of 100 GHz in the ITU grid (1550.12 nm,
1550.92 nm, 1551.72 nm, 1552.52 nm, 1554.13 nm, 1554.94 nm, 1555.75 nm, and 1556.55 nm).
You can install OC192 LR/STM64 LH ITU 15xx.xx cards in Slot 5, 6, 12, or 13. You can provision this
card as part of an BLSR, path protection, or linear configuration or also as a regenerator for longer span
reaches.
The OC192 LR/STM64 LH ITU 15xx.xx port features a laser on a specific wavelength in the
1550-nm range and contains a transmit and receive connector (labeled) on the card faceplate. The card
uses a dual SC connector for optical cable termination. The card supports 1+1 unidirectional and
bidirectional facility protection. It also supports 1:1 protection in four-fiber BLSR applications where
both span switching and ring switching might occur.
The OC192 LR/STM64 LH ITU 15xx.xx card detects SF, LOS, or LOF conditions on the optical facility.
Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for a description of these conditions. The card also
counts section and line BIP errors from B1 and B2 byte registers in the section and line overhead.

Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.6.17 15454_MRC-12 Card Specifications” section on
page A-44. See Table 4-2 on page 4-5 for optical card compatibility.
The 15454_MRC-12 multirate card provides up to twelve OC-3/STM-1 ports, twelve OC-12/STM-4
ports, or four OC-48/STM-16 ports using small form-factor pluggables (SFPs), in any combination of
line rates. All ports are Telcordia GR-253 compliant. The SFP optics can use SR, IR, LR, coarse
wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM), and DWDM SFPs to support unrepeated spans. See the
“4.21 Optical Card SFPs and XFPs” section on page 4-52 for more information about SFPs.
The ports operate at up to 2488.320 Mbps over a single-mode fiber. The 15454_MRC-12 card has twelve
physical connector adapters with two fibers per connector adapter (Tx and Rx). The card supports VT
payloads, STS-1 payloads, and concatenated payloads at STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-18c,
STS-24c, STS-36c, or STS-48c signal levels. It is fully interoperable with the ONS 15454 G-Series
Ethernet cards.
The 15454_MRC-12 port contains a transmit and receive connector (labeled) on the card faceplate. The
card supports 1+1 unidirectional and bidirectional facility protection. It also supports 1+1 protection in
four-fiber BLSR applications where both span switching and ring switching might occur. You can
provision this card as part of an BLSR, path protection, or 1+1 linear configuration.
Note Longer distances are possible in an amplified system using dispersion compensation.

4.19 MRC-2.5G-4 Multirate Card
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.6.17 15454_MRC-12 Card Specifications” section on
page A-44. See Table 4-2 on page 4-5 for optical card compatibility.
The MRC-2.5G-4 multirate card provides up to four OC-3/STM-1 ports, four OC-12/STM-4 ports, or
one OC-48/STM-16 ports using small form-factor pluggables (SFPs), in various combinations of line
rates. All ports are Telcordia GR-253 compliant. The SFP optics can use SR, IR, LR, coarse wavelength
division multiplexing (CWDM), and DWDM SFPs to support unrepeated spans. See the “4.21 Optical
Card SFPs and XFPs” section on page 4-52 for more information about SFPs.
The ports operate at up to 2488.320 Mbps over a single-mode fiber. The MRC-2.5G-4 card has four
physical connector adapters with two fibers per connector adapter (Tx and Rx). The card supports VT
payloads, STS-1 payloads, and concatenated payloads at STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-18c,
STS-24c, STS-36c, or STS-48c signal levels. It is fully interoperable with the ONS 15454 G-Series
Ethernet cards.
Each MRC-2.5G-4 port contains a transmit and receive connector (labeled) on the card faceplate. The
card supports 1+1 unidirectional and bidirectional facility protection. It also supports 1+1 protection in
four-fiber BLSR applications where both span switching and ring switching might occur. You can
provision this card as part of an BLSR, path protection, or 1+1 linear configuration. The MRC-2.5G-4
card also supports optimized 1+1 protection when used with OC-3 SFPs.
Table 4-21 15454_MRC-12 Card-Level Indicators

4.19.1 Slot Compatibility by Cross-Connect Card
You can install MRC-2.5G-4 cards in Slots 1 through 6 and 12 through 17 with an XCVT, XC10G, or
XC-VXC-10G.
Note The MRC-2.5G-4 card supports an errorless software-initiated cross-connect card switch when used in
a shelf equipped with XC-VXC-10G and TCC2/TCC2P cards.
The maximum bandwidth of the MRC-2.5G-4 card is determined by the cross-connect card, as shown in
Table 4-22.
4.19.2 Ports and Line Rates
Total MRC-2.5G-4 card bandwidth cannot exceed OC-48/STM-16, so there are some limitations on
which SFP ports can be used as OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, and OC-48/STM-16.
The following rules apply for port bandwidth allocation:
• STS-12 maximum backplane bandwidth
–
Port 1 is the only port that is usable as an OC-12/STM-4. If Port 1 is used as an OC-12/STM-4,
all other ports are disabled.
–
Each of the four ports can be used as OC-3/STM-1.
• STS-48 maximum backplane bandwidth
–
Port 1 is the only port that is usable as an OC-48/STM-16. If Port 1 is used as an
OC-48/STM-16, all other ports are disabled.
–
Mixed OC-3/STM-1 and OC-12/STM-4 configurations are supported. All possible
permutations are not covered in this reference section.

4.20 OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach and OC192/STM64 Any
Reach Cards
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.6.19 OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach Card Specifications”
section on page A-47 and the “A.6.20 OC192/STM64 Any Reach Card Specifications” section on
page A-47. See Table 4-2 on page 4-5 for optical card compatibility.
The OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach and OC192/STM64 Any Reach cards each provide a single
OC-192/STM-64 interface, as follows:
• OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach card (SR-1)
• OC192/STM-64 Any Reach card (SR-1, IR-2, and LR-2)
In CTC, these cards are referred to as “OC192-XFP” cards.
The interface operates at 9.952 Gbps over single-mode fiber spans and can be provisioned for both
concatenated and nonconcatenated payloads on a per STS-1/VC-4 basis. Specification references can be
found for the OC-192/STM-64 interface in ITU-T G.691, ITU-T G.693, and ITU-T G.959.1, and
Telcordia GR-253.
The optical interface uses a 10-Gbps Form-factor Pluggable (XFP) optical transceiver that plugs into a
receptacle on the front of the card. The OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach card is used only with an
SR-1 XFP, while the OC192/STM-64 Any Reach card can be provisioned for use with an SR-1, IR-2,
LR-2, or DWDM XFP module. The XFP SR, IR, and LR interfaces each provide one bidirectional
OC192/STM64 interface compliant with the recommendations defined by ITU-T G.91. SR-1 is
compliant with ITU-T I-64.1, IR-2 is compliant with ITU G.691 S-64.2b, and LR-2 is compliant with
ITU G.959.1 P1L1-2D2.
The cards are used only in Slots 5, 6, 12, and 13. and only with 10-Gbps cross-connect cards, such as
the XC10G and XC-VXC-10G.
Note The OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach and OC192/STM64 Any Reach cards support an errorless
software-initiated cross-connect card switch when used in a shelf equipped with XC-VXC-10G and
TCC2/TCC2P cards.
Figure 4-23 shows the faceplates and block diagram for the two cards.

4.21.2 SFP Description
4.21.2 SFP Description
SFPs are integrated fiber optic transceivers that provide high-speed serial links from a port or slot to the
network. Various latching mechanisms can be utilized on the modules. There is no correlation between
the type of latch to the model type (such as SX or LX/LH) or technology type (such as Gigabit Ethernet).
See the label on the SFP for technology type and model. Three latch types are available: mylar
(Figure 4-24), actuator/button (Figure 4-25), and bail clasp (Figure 4-26).

4.21.3 XFP Description
The 10-Gbps 1310-nm and 1550-nm XFP transceivers are integrated fiber optic transceivers that provide
high-speed serial links at the following signaling rates: 9.95 Gbps, 10.31 Gbps, and 10.51 Gbps. The
XFP integrates the receiver and transmit path. The transmit side recovers and retimes the 10-Gbps serial
data and passes it to a laser driver. The laser driver biases and modulates a 1310-nm or 1550-nm
distributed feedback (DFB) laser, enabling data transmission over single-mode fiber (SMF) through an
LC connector. The receive side recovers and retimes the 10-Gbps optical data stream from a
positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) photodetector, transimpedance amplifier and passes it to an output
driver.
The XFP module uses the bail clasp latching mechanism, shown unlatched in Figure 4-27 and latched in
Figure 4-28. See the label on the XFP for technology type and model.

The E100T-12 Ethernet card provides high-throughput, low-latency packet switching of Ethernet traffic
across a SONET network while providing a greater degree of reliability through SONET self-healing
protection services. This Ethernet capability enables network operators to provide multiple
10/100-Mbps access drops for high-capacity customer LAN interconnects, Internet traffic, and cable
modem traffic aggregation. It enables the efficient transport and co-existence of traditional time-division
multiplexing (TDM) traffic with packet-switched data traffic.
Each E100T-12 card supports standards-based, wire-speed, Layer 2 Ethernet switching between its
Ethernet interfaces. The IEEE 802.1Q tag logically isolates traffic (typically subscribers). IEEE 802.1Q
also supports multiple classes of service.
5.2.1 Slot Compatibility
You can install the E100T-12 card in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. Multiple E-Series Ethernet cards installed
in an ONS 15454 can act independently or as a single Ethernet switch. You can create logical SONET
ports by provisioning synchronous transport signal (STS) channels to the packet switch entity within the
ONS 15454. Logical ports can be created with a bandwidth granularity of STS-1. The E100T-12 supports
STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, and STS-12c circuit sizes.

5.3 E100T-G Card
The ONS 15454 uses E100T-G cards for Ethernet (10 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). Each card
provides 12 switched, IEEE 802.3-compliant, 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports that can independently detect
the speed of an attached device (autosense) and automatically connect at the appropriate speed. The ports
autoconfigure to operate at either half or full duplex and determine whether to enable or disable flow
control. You can also configure Ethernet ports manually. Figure 5-2 shows the faceplate and a block
diagram of the card.
Figure 5-2 E100T-G Faceplate and Block Diagram
The E100T-G Ethernet card provides high-throughput, low-latency packet switching of Ethernet traffic
across a SONET network while providing a greater degree of reliability through SONET self-healing
protection services. This Ethernet capability enables network operators to provide multiple 10/100 Mbps
access drops for high-capacity customer LAN interconnects, Internet traffic, and cable modem traffic
aggregation. It enables the efficient transport and co-existence of traditional TDM traffic with
packet-switched data traffic.
Each E100T-G card supports standards-based, wire-speed, Layer 2 Ethernet switching between its
Ethernet interfaces. The IEEE 802.1Q tag logically isolates traffic (typically subscribers). IEEE 802.1Q

switches (such as 1+1 automatic protection switching [APS], path protection configuration, or
bidirectional line switch ring [BLSR]). Full provisioning support is possible through Cisco Transport
Controller (CTC), Transaction Language One (TL1), or Cisco Transport Manager (CTM).
The circuit sizes supported are STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c, STS-24c, and STS-48c.
5.6.1 STS-24c Restriction
Due to hardware constraints, the card imposes an additional restriction on the combinations of circuits
that can be dropped onto a G-Series card. These restrictions are transparently enforced by the
ONS 15454, and you do not need to keep track of restricted circuit combinations.
When a single STS-24c terminates on a card, the remaining circuits on that card can be another single
STS-24c or any combination of circuits of STS-12c size or less that add up to no more than 12 STSs (that
is a total of 36 STSs on the card).
If STS-24c circuits are not being dropped on the card, the full 48 STSs bandwidth can be used with no
restrictions (for example, using either a single STS-48c or 4 STS-12c circuits).
Note The STS-24c restriction only applies when a single STS-24c circuit is dropped; therefore, you can easily
minimize the impact of this restriction. Group the STS-24c circuits together on a card separate from
circuits of other sizes. The grouped circuits can be dropped on other G-Series cards on the ONS 15454.

IEEE-compliant, 1000-Mbps interfaces. Each interface supports full-duplex operation for a maximum
bandwidth of 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps bidirectional per port, and 2.5 Gbps or 5 Gbps bidirectional per card.
Each port autonegotiates for full duplex and IEEE 802.3x flow control. The G1K-4 card uses GBIC
modular receptacles for the optical interfaces. For details, see the “5.15 Ethernet Card GBICs and SFPs”
section on page 5-36.

The G1K-4 card operates with the XCVT, XC10G or XC-VXC-10G cards. With the XC10G or
XC-VXC-10G cards, you can install the G1K-4 card in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17, for a total shelf capacity
of 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports. (The practical limit is 40 ports because at least two slots are typically
populated by optical cards such as OC-192). When used with the XCVT cards, the G1K-4 is limited to

5.12 CE-100T-8 Card
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.7.6 CE-100T-8 Card Specifications” section on page A-50.
The CE-100T-8 card provides eight RJ-45 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and an RJ-45 console port on the
card faceplate. The CE-100T-8 card provides mapping of 10/100 Mbps Ethernet traffic into SONET
STS-12 payloads, making use of low-order (VT1.5) virtual concatenation, high-order (STS-1) virtual
concatenation, GFP, and point-to-point protocol/high-level data link control (PPP/HDLC) framing
protocols.
The CE-100T-8 card also supports the link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS), which allows hitless
dynamic adjustment of SONET link bandwidth. The CE-100T-8 card’s LCAS is hardware-based, but the
CE-100T-8 also supports SW-LCAS. This makes it compatible with the ONS 15454 SDH ML-Series
card, which supports only SW-LCAS and does not support the standard hardware-based LCAS.
SW-LCAS is supported when a circuit from the CE-100T-8 terminates on the ONS 15454 SDH
ML-Series card.
The circuit types supported are:
• HO-CCAT
• LO-VCAT with no HW-LCAS
• LO-VCAT with HW-LCAS
• STS-1-2v SW-LCAS with ML only
Each 10/100 Ethernet port can be mapped to a SONET channel in increments of VT1.5 or STS-1
granularity, allowing efficient transport of Ethernet and IP over the SONET infrastructure.
Figure 5-11 shows the CE-100T-8 card faceplate and block diagram.

Figure 5-11 CE-100T-8 Faceplate and Block Diagram
The following paragraphs describe the general functions of the CE-100T-8 card and relate to the block
diagram.
In the ingress direction, (Ethernet-to-SONET), the PHY, which performs all of the physical layer
interface functions for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, sends the frame to the network processor for queuing in
the respective packet buffer memory. The network processor performs packet processing, packet
switching, and classification. The Ethernet frames are then passed to the Ethermap where Ethernet traffic
is terminated and is encapsulated using HDLC or GFP framing on a per port basis. The encapsulated
Ethernet frames are then mapped into a configurable number of virtual concatenated low and high order
payloads, such as VT1.5 synchronous payload envelope (SPE), STS-1 SPE, or a contiguous
concatenated payload such as STS-3c SPE. Up to 64 VT1.5 SPEs or 3 STS-1 SPEs can be virtually
concatenated. The SONET SPE carrying encapsulated Ethernet frames are passed onto the qMDM
FPGA, where four STS-3 frames are multiplexed to form a STS-12 frame for transport over the SONET
network by means of the Bridging Convergence Transmission (BTC) ASIC.
In the Egress direction (SONET-to-Ethernet), the FPGA extracts four STS-3 SPEs from the STS-12
frame it receives from the BTC and sends each of the STS-3s to the ET3 mappers. The STS-3 SONET
SPE carrying GFP or PPP/HDLC encapsulated Ethernet frames is then extracted and buffered in
Ethermap’s external memory. This memory is used for providing alignment and differential delay
compensation for the received low-order and high-order virtual concatenated payloads. After alignment
and delay compensation have been done, the Ethernet frames are decapsulated with one of the framing
protocols (GFP or HDLC). Decapsulated Ethernet frames are then passed onto the network processor for
QoS queuing and traffic scheduling. The network processor switches the frame to one of the
corresponding PHY channels and then to the Ethernet port for transmission to the external client(s).

Chapter 5 Ethernet Cards
5.13 CE-1000-4 Card
The CE-1000-4 card uses pluggable GBICs to transport Ethernet traffic over a SONET network. The
CE-1000-4 provides four IEEE 802.3-compliant, 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports at the ingress. At
the egress, the CE-1000-4 card provides an integrated Ethernet over SONET mapper with four virtual
ports to transfer Ethernet packets over a SONET network.
The Ethernet ports automatically configure to operate at either half or full duplex and can determine
whether to enable or disable flow control. The Ethernet ports can also be oversubscribed using flow
control.
The Ethernet frames are encapsulated using the ITU-T generic framing procedure (GFP) (with or
without CRC) or LEX, the point-to-point protocol (PPP) with high-level data link control (HDLC). The
CE-1000-4 card can interoperate with G1000-4/G1K-4 cards (using LEX encapsulation), CE-100T-8
cards (using LEX or GFP-F), and ML-Series cards (using LEX or GFP-F).
The Ethernet frames can be mapped into:
• T1X1 G.707-based high-order virtual concatenated (HO VCAT) payloads:
–
STS-3c
–
STS-1
• Contiguously concatenated (CCAT) SONET payloads:
–
Standard CCAT sizes (STS-1, STS-3c, STS-12c, STS-24c, STS-48c)
–
Non-standard CCAT sizes (STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-18c).
To configure a CE-1000-4 card SONET STS or VCAT circuit, refer to the “Create Circuits and Tunnels”
chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
The CE-1000-4 card provides multiple management options through Cisco Transport Controller (CTC),
Cisco Transport Manager (CTM), Transaction Language 1 (TL1), and Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
The CE-1000-4 card supports the software link capacity adjustment scheme (SW-LCAS). This makes it
compatible with the ONS 15454 CE-100T-8 and ML-Series cards. The CE-1000-4 card supports VCAT
groups (VCGs) that are reconfigurable when SW-LCAS is enabled (flexible VCGs). The CE-1000-4 card
does not support the standard hardware-based LCAS.
The following guidelines apply to flexible VCGs:
• Members can be added or removed from VCGs.
• Members can be put into or out of service.
• Cross-connects can be added or removed from VCGs.
• Errored members will be automatically removed from VCGs.
• Adding or removing members from the VCG is service affecting.
• Adding or removing cross connects from the VCG is not service affecting if the associated members
are not in group.
The CE-1000-4 card supports a non link capacity adjustment scheme (no-LCAS). This also makes it
compatible with the ONS 15454 CE-100T-8 and ML-Series cards. The CE-1000-4 card supports VCAT
groups (VCGs) that are fixed and not reconfigurable when no-LCAS is enabled (fixed VCGs).
The following guidelines apply to fixed VCGs:
• Members can be added or removed from VCGs using CTC or TL1.
• Members cannot be put into or out of service unless the force command mode is instantiated.

Chapter 5 Ethernet Cards
5.13 CE-1000-4 Card
Note This is possible with CTC as it assumes the force command mode by default. However, to
put members into or out of service using TL1, the force command mode must be set.
• Cross-connects can be added or removed from VCGs using CTC or TL1. This is service affecting
as long as the VCG size (TXCOUNT) is not realigned with the loss of connections.
The CE-1000-4 card supports VCAT differential delay and provides these associated features:
Note When the Link Integrity Soak Timer value on CE-1000-4 card with VCAT circuit is more than 1400 ms,
the transition from IS > OOS > IS causes a delay of up to 1100 ms.
• Supports a maximum VCG differential delay of 122 ms in each direction.
• Supports all protection schemes (path protection, two-fiber BLSR, four-fiber BLSR) on VCAT
circuits that are split-fiber routed.
• Supports 2-fiber on VCAT circuits that are common-fiber routed.
• Differential delay compensation is automatically enabled on VCAT circuits that are diverse (split
fiber) routed and disabled on VCAT circuits that are common-fiber routed.

5.13.1 CE-1000-4 Card-Level Indicators
The CE-1000-4 card faceplate has two card-level LED indicators, described in Table 5-25.
Note If the CE-1000-4 card is inserted in a slot that has been preprovisioned for a different type of card, the
red FAIL LED and the green ACT LED will flash alternately until the configuration mismatch is
resolved.
5.13.2 CE-1000-4 Port-Level Indicators
The CE-1000-4 card provides a pair of LEDs for each Gigabit Ethernet port: an amber LED for activity
(ACT) and a green LED for link status (LINK). Table 5-26 describes the status that each color represents.
5.13.3 Cross-Connect and Slot Compatibility
The CE-1000-4 card can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17 when used with the XC10G and
XC-VXC-10G cards. When the shelf uses the XCVT card, the CE-1000-4 card can only be installed in
Slots 5, 6, 12, and 13.

5.14 CE-MR-10 Card
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.7.7 CE-MR-10 Card Specifications” section on page A-51.
The CE-MR-10 card provides ten IEEE 802.3-compliant 10/100/1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports at
the ingress. At the egress, the CE-MR-10 card provides an integrated Ethernet-over-SONET mapper with
ten virtual ports to transfer Ethernet packets over a SONET network.
The CE-MR-10 card uses pluggable SFPs to transport Ethernet traffic over a SONET network. SFP
modules are offered as separate orderable products for flexibility. For details, see the “5.15 Ethernet
Card GBICs and SFPs” section on page 5-36.
The Ethernet frames are encapsulated using the ITU-T generic framing procedure (GFP) (with or
without CRC) or LEX, the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) with high-level data link control (HDLC).
The Ethernet ports automatically configure to operate at either half or full duplex and can determine
whether to enable or disable flow control. The Ethernet ports can also be oversubscribed using flow
control.
The CE-MR-10 card supports the link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS), which allows hitless
dynamic adjustment of SONET link bandwidth. The CE-MR-10 card's LCAS is hardware-based, but the
CE-MR-10 also supports software LCAS (SW-LCAS). This makes it compatible with ML-Series cards,
which support only SW-LCAS, along with G-Series and CE-Series cards. The CE-MR-10 card also
supports the non link capacity adjustment scheme (non-LCAS). The CE-MR-10 card supports both
flexible and fixed VCAT groups (VCG).
The Ethernet frames can be mapped into:
• T1X1 G.707-based high-order virtual concatenated (HO VCAT) payloads
–
STS-3c-nv, where n is 1 to 7
–
STS-1-nv, where n is 1 to 21
• T1X1 G.707-based low-order virtual concatenated (LO VCAT) payloads
–
VT1.5-nv, where n is 1 to 64
• Contiguously concatenated (CCAT) SONET payloads
–
Standard CCAT sizes (STS-1, STS-3c, STS-12c, STS-24c, and STS-48c)
–
Non-standard CCAT sizes (STS-6c and STS-9c)
To configure a CE-MR-10 card circuit, refer to the “Create Circuits and Tunnels” chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
The CE-MR-10 card provides multiple management options through CTC, CTM, TL1, and SNMP.

5.15.2 GBIC Description
5.15.2 GBIC Description
GBICs are integrated fiber optic transceivers that provide high-speed serial links from a port or slot to
the network. Various latching mechanisms can be utilized on the GBIC pluggable modules. There is no
correlation between the type of latch and the model type (such as SX or LX/LH) or technology type (such
as Gigabit Ethernet). See the label on the GBIC for technology type and model. One GBIC model has
two clips (one on each side of the GBIC) that secure the GBIC in the slot on the Ethernet card; the other
has a locking handle. Both types are shown in Figure 5-14.
GBIC dimensions are:
• Height 0.39 in. (1 cm)
• Width 1.18 in. (3 cm)
• Depth 2.56 in. (6.5 cm)
GBIC temperature ranges are:
• COM—Commercial operating temperature range –5 degrees C to 70 degrees C (23 degrees F to
158 degrees F)
• EXT—Extended operating temperature range –5 degrees C to 85 degrees C (23 degrees F to

DWDM (15454-GBIC-xx.x, 15454E-GBIC-xx.x) and CWDM (15454-GBIC-xxxx,
15454E-GBIC-xxxx) GBICs operate in an ONS 15454 G-Series card when the card is configured in
Gigabit Ethernet Transponding mode or in Ethernet over SONET mode. DWDM and CWDM GBICs are
both wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technologies and operate over single-mode fibers with SC
connectors. Cisco CWDM GBIC technology uses a 20 nm wavelength grid and Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
GBIC technology uses a 1 nm wavelength grid. CTC displays the specific wavelengths of the installed
CWDM or DWDM GBICs. DWDM wavelengths are spaced closer together and require more precise lasers
than CWDM. The DWDM spectrum allows for optical signal amplification. For more information on
G-Series card transponding mode, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card
Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
The DWDM and CWDM GBICs receive across the full 1300 nm and 1500 nm bands, which includes all
CWDM, DWDM, LX/LH, ZX wavelengths, but transmit on one specified wavelength. This capability
can be exploited in some of the G-Series transponding modes by receiving wavelengths that do not match
the specific transmission wavelength.
Note G1000-4 cards support CWDM and DWDM GBICs. G1K-4 cards with the Common Language
Equipment Identification (CLEI) code of WM5IRWPCAA (manufactured after August 2003) support
CWDM and DWDM GBICs. G1K-4 cards manufactured prior to August 2003 do not support CWDM or
DWDM GBICs.
The ONS 15454-supported CWDM GBICs reach up to 100 to 120 km over single-mode fiber and support
eight wavelengths as shown in Table 5-31.
The ONS 15454-supported DWDM GBICs reach up to 100 to 120 km over single-mode fiber and
support 32 different wavelengths in the red and blue bands. Paired with optical amplifiers, such as the
Cisco ONS 15216, the DWDM GBICs allow maximum unregenerated spans of approximately 300 km
(Table 5-32).

5.15.4 SFP Description
SFPs are integrated fiber-optic transceivers that provide high-speed serial links from a port or slot to the
network. Various latching mechanisms can be utilized on the SFP modules. There is no correlation
between the type of latch and the model type (such as SX or LX/LH) or technology type (such as Gigabit
Ethernet). See the label on the SFP for technology type and model. One type of latch available is a mylar
tab (Figure 5-17), a second type of latch available is an actuator/button (Figure 5-18), and a third type
of latch is a bail clasp (Figure 5-19).
SFP dimensions are:
• Height 0.03 in. (8.5 mm)
• Width 0.53 in. (13.4 mm)
• Depth 2.22 in. (56.5 mm)
SFP temperature ranges for are:
• COM—Commercial operating temperature range –5 degrees C to 70 degrees C (23 degrees F to
158 degrees F)
• EXT—Extended operating temperature range –5 degrees C to 85 degrees C (23 degrees F to
185 degrees F)
• IND—Industrial operating temperature range –40 degrees C to 85 degrees C (-40 degrees F to
185 degrees F)

Storage Access Networking Cards
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
The Fibre Channel Multirate 4-Port (FC_MR-4) card is a 1.0625- or 2.125-Gbps Fibre Channel/fiber
connectivity (FICON) card that integrates non-SONET framed protocols into a SONET time-division
multiplexing (TDM) platform through virtually concatenated payloads. For installation and step-by-step
circuit configuration procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Chapter topics include:
• 6.1 FC_MR-4 Card Overview, page 6-1
• 6.2 FC_MR-4 Card Modes, page 6-4
• 6.3 FC_MR-4 Card Application, page 6-7
• 6.4 FC_MR-4 Card GBICs, page 6-8
6.1 FC_MR-4 Card Overview
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.8 Storage Access Networking Card Specifications” section on
page A-53.
The FC_MR-4 card uses pluggable Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) to transport
non-SONET/SDH-framed, block-coded protocols over SONET/SDH. The FC_MR-4 enables four client
Fibre Channel (FC) ports to be transported over SONET/SDH, encapsulating the frames using the ITU-T
generic framing procedure (GFP) format and mapping them into either T1X1 G.707-based virtual
concatenated (VCAT) payloads or standard contiguously concatenated SONET payloads. The FC_MR-4
card has the following features:
• Four FICON ports operating at 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps
–
All four ports can be operational at any time due to subrate support
–
Advanced distance extension capability (buffer-to-buffer credit spoofing)
• Pluggable GBIC optics

6.1.2 FC_MR-4 Port-Level Indicators
6.1.2 FC_MR-4 Port-Level Indicators
Each FC_MR-4 port has a corresponding ACT/LNK LED. The ACT/LNK LED is solid green if the port
is available to carry traffic, is provisioned as in-service, and is in the active mode. The ACT/LNK LED
is flashing green if the port is carrying traffic. The ACT/LNK LED is steady amber if the port is not
enabled and the link is connected, or if the port is enabled and the link is connected but there is a
SONET/SDH transport error. The ACT/LNK LED is not lit if there is no link.
You can find the status of the card ports using the LCD screen on the ONS 15454 SDH fan-tray assembly.
Use the LCD to view the status of any port or card slot; the screen displays the number and severity of
alarms for a given port or slot. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for a complete
description of the alarm messages.
6.1.3 FC_MR-4 Compatibility
The FC_MR-4 cards can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17 when used with the XC10G and
XC-VXC-10G cards. When the shelf uses the XCVT card, the FC_MR-4 can be used in only the
high-speed (slots 5/6 and 12/13).
The FC_MR-4 card can be provisioned as part of any valid ONS 15454 SONET/SDH network topology,
such as a path protection, bidirectional line switched ring (BLSR), or linear network topologies. The
FC_MR-4 card is compatible with Software Release 4.6 and greater.
6.2 FC_MR-4 Card Modes
The FC_MR-4 card can operate in two different modes:
• Line rate mode—This mode is backward compatible with the Software R4.6 Line Rate mode.
• Enhanced mode—This mode supports subrate, distance extension, differential delay, and other
enhancements.
The FC_MR-4 card reboots when a card mode changes (a traffic hit results). The Field Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA) running on the card upgrades to the required image. However, the FPGA image in
the card’s flash memory is not modified.
6.2.1 Line-Rate Card Mode
The mapping for the line rate card mode is summarized here.

6.2.2.2 SW -LCAS
VCAT group (VCG) is reconfigurable when the software link capacity adjustment scheme (SW-LCAS)
is enabled, as follows:
• Out-of-service (OOS) and out-of-group (OOG) members can be removed from VCG
• Members with deleted cross-connects can be removed from VCGs
• Errored members can be autonomously removed from VCGs
• Degraded bandwidth VCGs are supported
• VCG is flexible with SW-LCAS enabled (VCG can run traffic as soon as the first cross-connect is
provisioned on both sides of the transport)
6.2.2.3 Distance Extension
This following list describes the FC_MR-4 card distance extension capabilities:
• Enabling of a storage access networking (SAN) extension over long distances through
buffer-to-buffer (B2B) credit spoofing.
–
2300 km for 1G ports (longer distances supported with lesser throughput)
–
1150 km for 2G ports (longer distances supported with lesser throughput)

Chapter 6 Storage Access Networking Cards
6.2.2 Enhanced Card Mode
• Negotiation mechanism to identify whether a far-end FC-over-SONET card supports the Cisco
proprietary B2B mechanism
• Auto detection of FC switch B2B credits from FC-SW standards-based exchange link parameters
(ELP) frames
• Support for manual provisioning of credits based on FC switch credits
• Automatic GFP buffers adjustment based on roundtrip latency between two SL ports
• Automatic credits recovery during SONET switchovers/failures
• Insulation for FC switches from any SONET switchovers; no FC fabric reconvergences for SONET
failures of less than or equal to 60 ms
6.2.2.4 Differential Delay Features
The combination of VCAT, SW-LCAS, and GFP specifies how to process information for data and
storage clients. The resulting operations introduce delays. Their impact depends on the type of service
being delivered. For example, storage requirements call for very low latency, as opposed to traffic such
as e-mail where latency variations are not critical.
With VCAT, SONET paths are grouped to aggregate bandwidth to form VCGs. Because each VCG
member can follow a unique physical route through a network, there are differences in propagation
delay, and possibly processing delays between members. The overall VCG propagation delay
corresponds to that of the slowest member. The VCAT differential delay is the relative arrival time
measurement between members of a VCG. The FC_MR-4 card is able to handle VCAT differential delay
and provides these associated features:
• Supports a maximum of 122 ms of delay difference between the shortest and longest paths.
• Supports diverse fiber routing for VCAT circuit.
• All protection schemes are supported (path protection, automatic protection switching [APS],
2-fiber BLSR, 4-fiber BLSR).
• Supports routing of VCAT group members through different nodes in the SONET network.
• Differential delay compensation is automatically enabled on VCAT circuits that are diverse (split
fiber) routed, and disabled on VCAT circuits that are common fiber routed.
Note Differential delay support for VCAT circuits is supported by means of a TL1 provisioning parameter
(EXTBUFFERS) in the ENT-VCG command.
6.2.2.5 Interoperability Features
The interoperability features are as follows:
• Maximum frame size setting to prevent accumulation of oversized performance monitoring
parameters for virtual SAN (VSAN) frames
• Ingress filtering disable for attachment to third-party GFP-over-SONET/SDH equipment
• String (port name) provisioning for each fiber channel and FICON interface on the FC_MR-4 card
to allow the MDS Fabric Manager to create link association between a SAN port on a
Cisco MDS 9000 switch and the FC_MR-4 SAN port.

6.2.3 Link Integrity
6.2.3 Link Integrity
The link integrity features are as follows:
• Data port disabled if upstream data port is not able to send over SONET/SDH transport
• Data port disabled if SONET/SDH transport is errored
6.2.4 Link Recovery
Link recovery has the following features:
• Reduces the impact of SONET/SDH disruptions on attached Fibre Channel equipment
• Speeds up the recovery of Inter-Switch Links (ISLs)
• Allows monitoring of B2B credit depletion due to SONET outage and full recovery of the credits,
thus preventing the slow decay of bandwidth/throughput
Note Distance extension and link recovery cannot be enabled at the same time.
6.3 FC_MR-4 Card Application
The FC_MR-4 card reliably transports carrier-class, private-line Fibre Channel/FICON transport
service. Each FC_MR-4 card can support up to four 1-Gbps circuits or four 2-Gbps circuits. Four
1.0625-Gbps FC channels can be mapped into containers as small as STS-1 (subrate), with a minimum
of STS-18c/VC4-6v for full rate. Four 2.125-Gbps FC channels can be mapped into containers as small
as STS-1 (sub-rate), with a minimum of STS-36c/VC4-12v for full rate.
The FC_MR-4 card incorporates features optimized for carrier-class applications such as:
• Carrier-class Fibre Channel/FICON
• 50 ms of switch time through SONET/SDH protection as specified in Telcordia GR-253-CORE
Note Protection switch traffic hit times of less than 60 ms are not guaranteed with differential delay in effect.
• Hitless software upgrades
Note Hitless software upgrades are not possible with an activation from Software R5.0 to Software R6.0 or
higher in enhanced card mode. This is because the FPGA must be upgraded to support differential delay
in enhanced mode. Upgrades are still hitless with the line rate mode.
• Remote Fibre Channel/FICON circuit bandwidth upgrades through integrated Cisco Transport
Controller (CTC)
• Multiple management options through CTC, Cisco Transport Manager (CTM), TL1, and Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Differential delay compensation of up to 122 ms for diversely routed VCAT circuits
The FC_MR-4 payloads can be transported over the following protection types:

Card Protection
This chapter explains the Cisco ONS 15454 card protection configurations. To provision card protection,
refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Chapter topics include:
• 7.1 Electrical Card Protection, page 7-1
• 7.2 Electrical Card Protection and the Backplane, page 7-5
• 7.3 OC-N Card Protection, page 7-13
• 7.4 Unprotected Cards, page 7-14
• 7.5 External Switching Commands, page 7-14
7.1 Electrical Card Protection
The ONS 15454 provides a variety of electrical card protection methods. This section describes the
protection options. Figure 7-1 on page 7-2 shows a 1:1 protection configuration and Figure 7-2 on
page 7-3 shows a 1:N protection configuration.
This section covers the general concept of electrical card protection. Specific electrical card protection
schemes depend on the type of electrical card as well as the electrical interface assembly (EIA) type used
on the ONS 15454 backplane. Table 7-4 on page 7-6 details the specific electrical card protection
schemes.
Note See Table 1-1 on page 1-16 and Table 1-2 on page 1-17 for the EIA types supported by the
15454-SA-ANSI and 15454-SA-HD (high-density) shelf assemblies.
Caution When a protection switch moves traffic from the working/active electrical card to the protect/standby
electrical card, ports on the new active/standby card cannot be placed out of service as long as traffic is
switched. Lost traffic can result when a port is taken out of service, even if the standby card no longer
carries traffic.

Chapter 7 Card Protection
7.1.1 1:1 Protection
7.1.1 1:1 Protection
In 1:1 protection, a working card is paired with a protect card of the same type. If the working card fails,
the traffic from the working card switches to the protect card. You can provision 1:1 to be revertive or
nonrevertive. If revertive, traffic automatically reverts to the working card after the failure on the
working card is resolved. Figure 7-1 shows an example of the ONS 15454 in a 1:1 protection
configuration. Each working card in an even-numbered slot is paired with a protect card in an
odd-numbered slot: Slot 1 is protecting Slot 2, Slot 3 is protecting Slot 4, Slot 5 is protecting Slot 6,
Slot 17 is protecting Slot 16, Slot 15 is protecting Slot 14, and Slot 13 is protecting Slot 12.

Chapter 7 Card Protection
7.1.2 1:N Protection
7.1.2 1:N Protection
1:N protection allows a single electrical card to protect up to five working cards of the same speed. 1:N
cards have added circuitry to act as the protect card in a 1:N protection group. Otherwise, the card is
identical to the standard card and can serve as a normal working card.
The physical DS-1 or DS-3 interfaces on the ONS 15454 backplane use the working card until the
working card fails. When the node detects this failure, the protect card takes over the physical DS-1 or
DS-3 electrical interfaces through the relays and signal bridging on the backplane. Figure 7-2 shows the
ONS 15454 in a 1:N protection configuration. Each side of the shelf assembly has only one card
protecting all of the cards on that side.
Figure 7-2 Example: ONS 15454 Cards in a 1:N Protection Configuration (SMB EIA)
Table 7-2 provides the supported 1:N configurations by electrical card, as well as the card types that can
be used for working and protection cards. Additional engineering rules for 1:N card deployments will

Chapter 7 Card Protection
7.1.2 1:N Protection
7.1.2.1 Revertive Switching
1:N protection supports revertive switching. Revertive switching sends the electrical interfaces (traffic)
back to the original working card after the card comes back online. Detecting an active working card
triggers the reversion process. There is a variable time period for the lag between detection and
reversion, called the revertive delay, which you can set using the ONS 15454 software, Cisco Transport
Controller (CTC). To set the revertive delay, refer to the “Turn Up a Node” chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide. All cards in a protection group share the same reversion settings.
1:N protection groups default to automatic reversion.
Caution A user-initiated switch (external switching command) overrides the revertive delay, that is, clearing the
switch clears the timer.
7.1.2.2 1:N Protection Guidelines
There are two types of 1:N protection groups for the ONS 15454: ported and portless. Ported 1:N
interfaces are the traditional protection groups for signals electrically terminated on the shelf assembly.
Portless 1:N interfaces are signals received through an electrical synchronous transport signal (STS)
through the cross-connect card. The DS3XM-12 card supports portless as well as traditional ported
deployments. Table 7-2 on page 7-3 outlines the 1:N configurations supported by each electrical card
type.
The following rules apply to ported 1:N protection groups in the ONS 15454:
• Working and protect card groups must reside in the same card bank (Side A or Side B).
• The 1:N protect card must reside in Slot 3 for Side A and Slot 15 for Side B.

Chapter 7 Card Protection
7.2 Electrical Card Protection and the Backplane
• Working cards can sit on either or both sides of the protect card.
The following rules apply to portless 1:N protection groups in the ONS 15454:
• Working and protect card groups can reside in the same card bank or different card banks (Side A
or Side B).
• The 1:N protect card can be installed in either Slot 3 or Slot 15 and protect working cards in both
card banks.
• Working cards can sit on either or both sides of the protect card.
The ONS 15454 supports 1:N equipment protection for all add-drop multiplexer (ADM) configurations
(ring, linear, and terminal), as specified by Telcordia GR-253-CORE. For detailed procedures for setting
up DS-1 and DS-3 protection groups, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
7.2 Electrical Card Protection and the Backplane
Protection schemes for electrical cards depend on the EIA type used on the ONS 15454 backplane. The
difference is due to the varying connector size. For example, because BNC connectors are larger, fewer
DS3-12 cards can be supported when using a BNC connector. Table 7-3 shows the number of connectors
per side for each EIA type according to low-density and high-density interfaces.
In the tables, high-density (HD) cards include the DS3/EC1-48 and DS1/E1-56 cards. Low-density (LD
cards) include the following:
• DS1-14, DS1N-14
• DS3-12/DS3-12E, DS3N-12/DS3N-12E
• DS3XM-6
• DS3XM-12
• EC1-12
Note For EIA installation, refer to the “Install the Shelf and Backplane Cable” chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Caution When a protection switch moves traffic from the working/active electrical card to the protect/standby electrical card,
ports on the new active/standby card cannot be taken out of service as long as traffic is switched. Lost traffic can
result when a port is taken out of service even if the standby electrical card no longer carries traffic.

Chapter 7 Card Protection
7.3 OC-N Card Protection
7.3 OC-N Card Protection
The ONS 15454 provides two optical card protection methods, 1+1 protection and optimized 1+1
protection. This section covers the general concept of optical card protection. Specific optical card
protection schemes depend on the optical cards in use.
7.3.1 1+1 Protection
Any OC-N card can use 1+1 protection. With 1+1 port-to-port protection, ports on the protect card can
be assigned to protect the corresponding ports on the working card. Both ports must belong to two
different cards and should have the same port number. For example, if port 2 is the protect port on Card
A then port 2 on Card B would be the working port. The working and protect cards do not have to be
placed side by side in the node. A working card must be paired with a protect card of the same type and
number of ports. For example, a single-port OC-12 must be paired with another single-port OC-12, and
a four-port OC-12 must be paired with another four-port OC-12. You cannot create a 1+1 protection
group if one card is single-port and the other is multiport, even if the OC-N rates are the same. The
protection takes place on the port level, and any number of ports on the protect card can be assigned to
protect the corresponding ports on the working card.
For example, on a four-port card, you can assign one port as a protection port on the protect card
(protecting the corresponding port on the working card) and leave three ports unprotected. Conversely,
you can assign three ports as protection ports and leave one port unprotected. In other words, all the ports
on the protect card are used in the protection scheme.
1+1 span protection can be either revertive or nonrevertive. With nonrevertive 1+1 protection, when a
failure occurs and the signal switches from the working card to the protect card, the signal stays switched
to the protect card until it is manually switched back. Revertive 1+1 protection automatically switches
the signal back to the working card when the working card comes back online. 1+1 protection is
unidirectional and nonrevertive by default; revertive switching is easily provisioned using CTC.
Note When provisioning a line timing reference for the node, you cannot select the protect port of a 1+1
protection group. If a traffic switch occurs on the working port of the 1+1 protection group, the timing
reference of the node automatically switches to the protect port of the 1+1 protection group.
7.3.2 Optimized 1+1 Protection
Optimized 1+1 protection is used in networks that mainly use the linear 1+1 bidirectional protection
scheme. Optimized 1+1 is a line-level protection scheme using two lines, working and protect. One of
the two lines assumes the role of the primary channel, where traffic is selected, and the other line
assumes the role of secondary channel, which protects the primary channel. Traffic switches from the
primary channel to the secondary channel based on either line conditions or an external switching
command performed by the user. After the line condition clears, the traffic remains on the secondary
channel. The secondary channel is automatically renamed as the primary channel and the former primary
channel is automatically renamed as the secondary channel.
Unlike 1+1 span protection, 1+1 optimized span protection does not use the revertive or nonrevertive
feature. Also, 1+1 optimized span protection does not use the Manual switch command. The 1+1
optimized span protection scheme is supported only on the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET using either
OC3-4 cards or OC3-8 cards with ports that are provisioned for SDH payloads.

78-18106-01
Chapter 7 Card Protection
7.4 Unprotected Cards
Optimized 1+1 is fully compliant with Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT)
specifications. With optimized 1+1 port-to-port protection, ports on the protect card can be assigned to
protect the corresponding ports on the working card. The working and protect cards do not have to be
installed side by side in the node. A working card must be paired with a protect card of the same type
and number of ports. For example, a four-port OC-3 must be paired with another four-port OC-3, and an
eight-port OC-3 must be paired with another eight-port OC-3. You cannot create an optimized 1+1
protection group if the number of ports do not match, even if the OC-N rates are the same.
The protection takes place on the port level, and any number of ports on the protect card can be assigned
to protect the corresponding ports on the working card. For example, on a four-port card, you can assign
one port as a protection port on the protect card (protecting the corresponding port on the working card)
and leave three ports unprotected. Conversely, you can assign three ports as protection ports and leave
one port unprotected. With 1:1 or 1:N protection (electrical cards), the protect card must protect an entire
slot. In other words, all the ports on the protect card are used in the protection scheme.
7.4 Unprotected Cards
Unprotected cards are not included in a protection scheme; therefore, a card failure or a signal error
results in lost data. Because no bandwidth lies in reserve for protection, unprotected schemes maximize
the available ONS 15454 bandwidth. Figure 7-8 shows the ONS 15454 in an unprotected configuration.
All cards are in a working state.
Figure 7-8 ONS 15454 in an Unprotected Configuration
7.5 External Switching Commands
The external switching commands on the ONS 15454 are Manual, Force, and Lockout. If you choose a
Manual switch, the command will switch traffic only if the path has an error rate less than the signal
degrade (SD) bit error rate threshold. A Force switch will switch traffic even if the path has SD or signal
fail (SF) conditions; however, a Force switch will not override an SF on a 1+1 protection channel.

Chapter 7 Card Protection
7.5 External Switching Commands
A Force switch has a higher priority than a Manual switch. Lockouts, which prevent traffic from
switching to the protect port under any circumstance, can only be applied to protect cards (in 1+1
configurations). Lockouts have the highest priority. In a 1+1 configuration you can also apply a lock on
to the working port. A working port with a lock on applied cannot switch traffic to the protect port in the
protection group (pair). In 1:1 protection groups, working or protect ports can have a lock on.
Note Force and Manual switches do not apply to 1:1 protection groups; these ports have a single switch
command.

8.1 CTC Software Delivery Methods
ONS 15454 provisioning and administration is performed using the CTC software. CTC is a Java
application that is installed in two locations; CTC is stored on the Advanced Timing, Communications,
and Control (TCC2) card or the Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control Plus (TCC2P) card,
and it is downloaded to your workstation the first time you log into the ONS 15454 with a new software
release.
8.1.1 CTC Software Installed on the TCC2/TCC2P Card
CTC software is preloaded on the ONS 15454 TCC2/TCC2P cards; therefore, you do not need to install
software on the TCC2/TCC2P cards. When a new CTC software version is released, use the
release-specific software upgrade document to upgrade the ONS 15454 software on the TCC2/TCC2P
cards.

Chapter 8 Cisco Transport Controller Operation
8.1.1 CTC Software Installed on the TCC2/TCC2P Card
When you upgrade CTC software, the TCC2/TCC2P cards store the new CTC version as the protect CTC
version. When you activate the new CTC software, the TCC2/TCC2P cards store 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 > Software tabs in
node view (Figure 8-1).

Select the Maintenance > Software tabs in network view to display the software versions installed on all
the network nodes (Figure 8-2).
Figure 8-2 CTC Software Versions, Network View
8.1.2 CTC Software Installed on the PC or UNIX Workstation
CTC software is downloaded from the TCC2/TCC2P cards and installed on your computer automatically
after you connect to the ONS 15454 with a new software release for the first time. Downloading the CTC
software files automatically ensures that your computer is running the same CTC software version as the
TCC2/TCC2P cards you are accessing. The CTC files are stored in the temporary directory designated
by your computer operating system. You can use the Delete CTC Cache button to remove files stored in
the temporary directory. If the files are deleted, they download the next time you connect to an ONS
15454. Downloading the Java archive (JAR) files for CTC takes several minutes depending on the
bandwidth of the connection between your workstation and the ONS 15454. For example, JAR files
downloaded from a modem or a data communications channel (DCC) network link require more time
than JAR files downloaded over a LAN connection.
During network topology discovery, CTC polls each node in the network to determine which one
contains the most recent version of the CTC software. If CTC discovers a node in the network that has
a more recent version of the CTC software than the version you are currently running, CTC generates a
message stating that a later version of the CTC has been found in the network and offers to install the
CTC software upgrade JAR files. If you have network discovery disabled, CTC will not seek more recent
versions of the software. Unreachable nodes are not included in the upgrade discovery.

8.2 CTC Installation Overview
Note Upgrading the CTC software will overwrite your existing software. You must restart CTC after the
upgrade is complete.
8.2 CTC Installation Overview
To connect to an ONS 15454 using CTC, you enter the ONS 15454 IP address in the URL field of
Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. After connecting to an ONS 15454, the following
occurs automatically:
1. A CTC launcher applet is downloaded from the TCC2/TCC2P card to your computer.
2. The launcher determines whether your computer has a CTC release matching the release on the
ONS 15454 TCC2/TCC2P card.
3. If the computer does not have CTC installed, or if the installed release is older than the
TCC2/TCC2P card’s version, the launcher downloads the CTC program files from the TCC2/TCC2P
card.
4. The launcher starts CTC. The CTC session is separate from the web browser session, so the web
browser is no longer needed. Always log into nodes having the latest software release. If you log
into an ONS 15454 that is connected to ONS 15454s with older versions of CTC, or to
Cisco ONS 15327s or Cisco ONS 15600s, CTC files are downloaded automatically to enable you to
interact with those nodes. The CTC file download occurs only when necessary, such as during your
first login. You cannot interact with nodes on the network that have a software version later than the
node that you used to launch CTC.
Each ONS 15454 can handle up to five concurrent CTC sessions. CTC performance can vary, depending
on the volume of activity in each session, network bandwidth, and TCC2/TCC2P card load.
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. Refer to the
Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide for a comprehensive list of TL1 commands.
8.3 PC and UNIX Workstation Requirements
To use CTC for the ONS 15454, 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 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.
You can change the JRE version on the Preferences dialog box JRE tab. When you change the JRE
version on the JRE tab, you must exit and restart CTC for the new JRE version to take effect. Table 8-1
shows JRE compatibility with ONS 15454 software releases.

8.5 CTC Login
After you have installed CTC, you can log in to a node using your browser. To log in, you must type the
node IP address in the URL window. The CTC Login window appears.
Table 8-3 ONS 15454 Connection Methods
Method Description Requirements
Local craft Refers to onsite network connections
between the CTC computer and the
ONS 15454 using one of the following:
• The RJ-45 (LAN) port on the
TCC2/TCC2P card
• The LAN pins on the ONS 15454
backplane
• A hub or switch to which the ONS 15454
is connected
If you do not use Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), you must
change the computer IP address, subnet
mask, and default router, or use automatic
host detection.
Corporate
LAN
Refers to a connection to the ONS 15454
through a corporate or network operations
center (NOC) LAN.
• The ONS 15454 must be provisioned
for LAN connectivity, including IP
address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.
• The ONS 15454 must be physically
connected to the corporate LAN.
• The CTC computer must be connected
to the corporate LAN that has
connectivity to the ONS 15454.
TL1 Refers to a connection to the ONS 15454
using TL1 rather than CTC. TL1 sessions can
be started from CTC, or you can use a TL1
terminal. The physical connection can be a
craft connection, corporate LAN, or a TL1
terminal.
Refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1
Reference Guide.
Remote Refers to a connection made to the
ONS 15454 using a modem.

Chapter 8 Cisco Transport Controller Operation
8.5.1 Legal Disclaimer
The CTC Login window provides the following options to accelerate the login process.
• The Disable Network Discovery option omits the discovery of nodes with data communications
channel (DCC) connectivity. To access all nodes with DCC connectivity, make sure that Disable
Network Discovery is not checked. If you have network discovery disabled, CTC will not poll the
network for more recent versions of the software. (For more information about the automatic
download of the latest CTC JAR files, see the “8.1.2 CTC Software Installed on the PC or UNIX
Workstation” section on page 8-3.)
• The Disable Circuit Management option omits the discovery of circuits. To view circuits
immediately after logging in, make sure that Disable Circuit Management is not checked. However,
if disabled, after you have logged in you can click the Circuits tab and CTC will give you the option
to enable circuit management.
These options are useful if you want to log in to a node to perform a single task, such as placing a card
in or out of service, and do not want to wait while CTC discovers DCC connections and circuits.
8.5.1 Legal Disclaimer
The CTC Login window currently displays the following warning message: “Warning: This system is
restricted to authorized users for business purpose. Unauthorized access is a violation of the law. This
service can be monitored for administrative and security reasons. By proceeding, you consent to this
monitoring.”
The ONS 15600 allows a user with Superuser privileges to modify the default login warning message
and save it to a node using the Provisioning > Security > Legal Disclaimer > HTML tab. The login
warning message field allows up to 250 characters of text (1600 characters total, including HTML
markup).
8.5.2 Login Node Group
Login node groups display nodes that have only an IP connection. After you are logged into CTC, you
can create a login node group from the Edit > Preferences menu. Login groups appear in the
Additional Nodes list on the Login window.
For example, if you logged into Node 1, you would see Node 2 and Node 3 because they have DCC
connectivity to Node 1. You would not see Nodes 4, 5, and 6 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, 5, and 6.
Those nodes, and all nodes optically connected to them, appear when you select the login group from
the Additional Nodes list on the Login window the next time you log in.
8.6 CTC Window
The CTC window appears after you log into an ONS 15454 (Figure 8-3). The window includes a menu
bar, a toolbar, and a top and bottom pane. The top pane provides status information about the selected
objects and a graphic of the current view. The bottom pane provides tabs and subtab to view ONS 15454
information and perform ONS 15454 provisioning and maintenance. From this window you can display
three ONS 15454 views: network, node, and card.

Violet OOS-AU,AINS (Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service)
The port is out-of-service, but traffic is carried. Alarm
reporting is suppressed. The node monitors the ports for an
error-free signal. After an error-free signal is detected, the
port stays in OOS-AU,AINS state for the duration of the
soak period. After the soak period ends, the port service
state changes to IS-NR.
Raised fault conditions, whether or not their alarms are
reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by
using the TL1 RTRV-COND command. The AINS port will
automatically transition to IS-NR when a signal is received

that are running CTC Software Release 3.3 or higher, without using a web browser.
CTC Launcher provides two connection options. The first option is used to connect to ONS network
elements (NEs) that have an IP connection to the CTC computer. The second option is used to connect
to ONS NEs that reside behind third party, OSI-based gateway network elements (GNEs). For this
option, CTC Launcher creates a TL1 tunnel to transport the TCP traffic through the OSI-based GNE.
The TL1 tunnel transports the TCP traffic to and from ONS ENEs through the OSI-based GNE. TL1
tunnels are similar to the existing static IP-over-CLNS tunnels, GRE and Cisco IP, that can be created
at ONS NEs using CTC. (Refer to the Cisco ONS product documentation for information about static
IP-over-CLNS tunnels.) However, unlike the static IP-over-CLNS tunnels, TL1 tunnels require no
provisioning at the ONS ENE, the third-party GNE, or DCN routers. All provisioning occurs at the CTC
computer when the CTC Launcher is started.
Figure 8-8 shows examples of two static IP-over-CLNS tunnels. A static Cisco IP tunnel is created from
ENE 1 through other vendor GNE 1 to a DCN router, and a static GRE tunnel is created from ONS ENE 2
to the other vender, GNE 2. For both static tunnels, provisioning is required on the ONS ENEs. In
addition, a Cisco IP tunnel must be provisioned on the DCN router and a GRE tunnel provisioned on
GNE 2.

Figure 8-9 TL1 Tunnels
TL1 tunnels provide several advantages over static IP-over-CLNS tunnels. Because tunnel provisioning
is needed only at the CTC computer, they are faster to set up. Because they use TL1 for TCP transport,
they are more secure. TL1 tunnels also provide better flow control. On the other hand, IP over CLNS
tunnels require less overhead and usually provide a slight performance edge over TL1 Tunnels
(depending on network conditions). TL1 tunnels do not support all IP applications such as SNMP and
RADIUS Authentication. Table 8-13 shows a comparison between the two types of tunnels.

8.8 TCC2/TCC2P Card Reset
TL1 tunnel specifications and general capabilities include:
• Each tunnel generally supports between six to eight ENEs, depending on the number of tunnels at
the ENE.
• Each CTC session can support up to 32 tunnels.
• The TL1 tunnel database is stored locally in the CTC Preferences file.
• Automatic tunnel reconnection when the tunnel goes down.
• Each ONS NE can support at least 16 concurrent tunnels.
8.8 TCC2/TCC2P Card Reset
You can reset the ONS 15454 TCC2/TCC2P card by using CTC (a soft reset) or by physically reseating
a TCC2/TCC2P card (a hard reset). A soft reset reboots the TCC2/TCC2P card and reloads the operating
system and the application software. Additionally, a hard reset temporarily removes power from the
TCC2/TCC2P card and clears all buffer memory.
You can apply a soft reset from CTC to either an active or standby TCC2/TCC2P card without affecting
traffic. If you need to perform a hard reset on an active TCC2/TCC2P card, put the TCC2/TCC2P card
into standby mode first by performing a soft reset.
Note When a CTC reset is performed on an active TCC2/TCC2P card, the AIC-I cards go through an
initialization process and also reset because AIC-I cards are controlled by the active TCC2/TCC2P.
8.9 TCC2/TCC2P Card Database
When dual TCC2/TCC2P cards are installed in the ONS 15454, each TCC2/TCC2P card hosts a separate
database; therefore, the protect card database is available if the database on the working TCC2/TCC2P
fails. You can also store a backup version of the database on the workstation running CTC. This
Potential to breach DCN
from DCC using IP.
Possible Not possible A potential exists to breach a DCN from a DCC using IP. This
potential does not exist for TL1 tunnels.
IP route management Expensive Automatic For static IP-over-CLNS tunnels, route changes require manual
provisioning at network routers, GNEs, and ENEs. For TL1
tunnels, route changes are automatic.

8.10 Software Revert
operation should be part of a regular ONS 15454 maintenance program at approximately weekly
intervals, and should also be completed when preparing an ONS 15454 for a pending natural disaster,
such as a flood or fire.
A database backup may be restored in two ways, partial or complete. A partial database restore operation
restores only the provisioning data. A complete database restore operation restores both system and
provisioning data. For more information on restoring a database, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide.
Note The following parameters are not backed up and restored: node name, IP address, mask and gateway, and
Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) port. If you change the node name and then restore a backed up
database with a different node name, the circuits map to the new node name. Cisco recommends keeping
a record of the old and new node names.
Note To avoid a node IP and secure IP ending up in the same domain after restoring a database, ensure that
the node IP stored in the database differs in domain from that of the node in repeater mode. Also, after
restoring a database, ensure that the node IP and secure IP differ in domain.
8.10 Software Revert
When you click the Activate button after a software upgrade, the TCC2/TCC2P copies the current
working database and saves it in a reserved location in the TCC2/TCC2P flash memory. If you later need
to revert to the original working software load from the protect software load, the saved database installs
automatically. You do not need to restore the database manually or recreate circuits.
Note The TCC2/TCC2P card does not carry any software earlier than Software R4.0. You will not be able to
revert to a software release earlier than Software R4.0 with TCC2/TCC2P cards installed.
The revert feature is useful if a maintenance window closes while you are upgrading CTC software. You
can revert to the protect software load without losing traffic. When the next maintenance window opens,
complete the upgrade and activate the new software load.
Circuits created and provisioning done after a software load is activated (upgraded to a higher software
release) will be lost with a revert. The database configuration at the time of activation is reinstated after
a revert. This does not apply to maintenance reverts (for example, 4.6.2 to 4.6.1), because maintenance
releases use the same database.
To perform a supported (non-service-affecting) revert from Software R8.5, the release you want to revert
to must have been working at the time you first activated Software R8.5 on that node. Because a
supported revert automatically restores the node configuration at the time of the previous activation, any
configuration changes made after activation will be lost when you revert the software. Downloading
Release 8.5 a second time after you have activated the new load ensures that no actual revert to a previous
load can take place (the TCC2/TCC2P card will reset, but will not be traffic affecting and will not change
your database).

Security
This chapter provides information about Cisco ONS 15454 users and security. To provision security,
refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Chapter topics include:
• 9.1 User IDs and Security Levels, page 9-1
• 9.2 User Privileges and Policies, page 9-1
• 9.3 Audit Trail, page 9-8
• 9.4 RADIUS Security, page 9-9
9.1 User IDs and Security Levels
The CISCO15 user ID is provided with the ONS 15454 for initial login to the node, but this user ID is
not supplied in the prompt when you sign into Cisco Transport Controller (CTC). This ID can be used
to set up other ONS 15454 user IDs.
You can have up to 500 user IDs on one ONS 15454. Each CTC or Transaction Language One (TL1)
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.
• Superuser—Users can perform all of the functions of the other security levels as well as set names,
passwords, and security levels for other users.
See Table 9-3 on page 9-7 for idle user timeout information for each security level.
By default, multiple concurrent user ID sessions are permitted on the node; that is, multiple users can
log into a node using the same user ID. However, you can provision the node to allow only a single login
per user ID and prevent concurrent logins for all users.
9.2 User Privileges and Policies
This section lists user privileges for each CTC action and describes the security policies available to
Superusers for provisioning.

9.2.2 Security Policies
Users with Superuser security privileges can provision security policies on the ONS 15454. These
security policies include idle user timeouts, password changes, password aging, and user lockout
parameters. In addition, a Superuser can access the ONS 15454 through the TCC2/TCC2P RJ-45 port,
the backplane LAN connection, or both. If enabled in the NE defaults, superusers can be configured to
override the inactive user timeout interval.
9.2.2.1 Superuser Privileges for Provisioning Users
Superusers can grant permission to Provisioning users to retrieve audit logs, restore databases, clear
performance monitoring (PM) parameters, activate software loads, and revert software loads. These
privileges can only be set using CTC network element (NE) defaults, except the PM clearing privilege,
which can be granted to a Provisioning user using the CTC Provisioning> Security > Access tabs. For
more information about setting up Superuser privileges, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

9.2.2.2 Idle User Timeout
Each ONS 15454 CTC or TL1 user can be idle during his or her login session for a specified amount of
time before the CTC window is locked. The lockouts prevent unauthorized users from making changes.
Higher-level users have shorter default idle periods and lower-level users have longer or unlimited
default idle periods, as shown in Table 9-3. The user idle period can be modified by a Superuser; refer
to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide for instructions.
9.2.2.3 User Password, Login, and Access Policies
Superusers can view real-time lists of users who are logged into CTC or TL1 by node. Superusers can
also provision the following password, login, and node access policies:
• Password length, expiration and reuse—Superusers can configure the password length using NE
defaults. The password length, by default, is set to a minimum of six and a maximum of 20
characters. You can configure the default values in CTC node view with the Provisioning > Defaults
> Node > security > password Complexity tabs. The minimum length can be set to eight, ten or
twelve characters, and the maximum length to 80 characters. The password must be a combination
of alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and special (+, #,%) characters, where at least two characters are
nonalphabetic and at least one character is a special character. Superusers can specify when users
must change and when they can reuse their passwords.
• Locking out and disabling users—Superusers can provision the number of invalid logins that are
allowed before locking out users and the length of time before inactive users are disabled.
• Node access and user sessions—Superusers can limit the number of CTC sessions a user login can
have to just one session. Superusers can also prohibit access to the ONS 15454 using the LAN or
TCC2/TCC2P RJ-45 connections.
In addition, a Superuser can select secure shell (SSH) instead of Telnet at the CTC Provisioning >
Security > Access tabs. SSH is a terminal-remote host Internet protocol that uses encrypted links. It
provides authentication and secure communication over unsecure channels. Port 22 is the default
port and cannot be changed. Port 22 is only for VxWorks access. To use secure TL-1 you need a
secure shell program and you need to use port 4083. Superuser can also configure EMS and TL1
access states to secure and non-secure modes.
Note The superuser cannot modify the privilege level of an active user. The CTC displays a warning message
when the superuser attempts to modify the privilege level of an active user.

9.2.2.4 Secure Access
Secure access is based on SSH and SSL protocols. Secure access can be enabled for EMS (applicable to
CTC). When access is set to secure, CTC provides enhanced SFTP and SSH security when
communicating with the node.
For more information on how to enable EMS secure access, refer Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide for
instructions.
9.3 Audit Trail
The Cisco ONS 15454 maintains a Telcordia GR-839-CORE-compliant audit trail log that resides on the
TCC2/TCC2P card. Audit trails are useful for maintaining security, recovering lost transactions, and
enforcing accountability. Accountability refers to tracing user activities; that is, associating a process or
action with a specific user. The audit trail log shows who has accessed the system and what operations
were performed during a given period of time. The log includes authorized Cisco support logins and
logouts using the operating system command line interface (CLI), CTC, and TL1; the log also includes FTP
actions, circuit creation/deletion, and user/system generated actions.
Event monitoring is also recorded in the audit log. An event is defined as the change in status of an
network element. External events, internal events, attribute changes, and software upload/download
activities are recorded in the audit trail.
To view the audit trail log, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide. You can access the audit trail
logs from any management interface (CTC, CTM, TL1).
The audit trail is stored in persistent memory and is not corrupted by processor switches, resets, or
upgrades. However, if you remove both TCC2/TCC2P cards, the audit trail log is lost.
9.3.1 Audit Trail Log Entries
Table 9-4 contains the columns listed in Audit Trail window.
Audit trail records capture the following activities:
• User—Name of the user performing the action
• Host—Host from where the activity is logged
• Device ID—IP address of the device involved in the activity
• Application—Name of the application involved in the activity
• Task—Name of the task involved in the activity (view a dialog box, apply configuration, etc.)

• Connection Mode—Telnet, Console, SNMP
• Category—Type of change (Hardware, Software, Configuration)
• Status—Status of the user action (Read, Initial, Successful, Timeout, Failed)
• Time—Time of change
• Message Type—Whether the event is Success/Failure type
• Message Details—Description of the change
9.3.2 Audit Trail Capacities
The ONS 15454 is able to store 640 log entries. When this limit is reached, the oldest entries are
overwritten with new events. When the log server is 80 percent full, an AUD-LOG-LOW condition is
raised and logged (by way of CORBA/CTC).
When the log server reaches the maximum capacity of 640 entries and begins overwriting records that
were not archived, an AUD-LOG-LOSS condition is raised and logged. This event indicates that audit
trail records have been lost. Until you off-load the file, this event will not occur a second time regardless
of the amount of entries that are overwritten by incoming data. To export the audit trail log, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
9.4 RADIUS Security
Users with Superuser security privileges can configure nodes to use Remote Authentication Dial In User
Service (RADIUS) authentication. Cisco Systems uses a strategy known as authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) for verifying the identity of, granting access to, and tracking the
actions of remote users.
9.4.1 RADIUS Authentication
RADIUS is a system of distributed security that secures remote access to networks and network services
against unauthorized access. RADIUS comprises three components:
• A protocol with a frame format that utilizes User Datagram Protocol (UDP)/IP
• A server
• A client
The server runs on a central computer, typically at a customer site, while the clients reside in the dial-up
access servers and can be distributed throughout the network.
An ONS 15454 node operates as a client of RADIUS. The client is responsible for passing user
information to designated RADIUS servers, and then acting on the response that is returned. RADIUS
servers are responsible for receiving user connection requests, authenticating the user, and returning all
configuration information necessary for the client to deliver service to the user. The RADIUS servers
can act as proxy clients to other kinds of authentication servers. Transactions between the RADIUS
client and server are authenticated through the use of a shared secret, which is never sent over the
network. In addition, any user passwords are sent encrypted between the client and RADIUS server. This
eliminates the possibility that someone monitoring an unsecured network could determine a user's
password. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide for detailed instructions for implementing
RADIUS authentication.

Chapter 9 Security
9.4.2 Shared Secrets
9.4.2 Shared Secrets
A shared secret is a text string that serves as a password between:
• A RADIUS client and RADIUS server
• A RADIUS client and a RADIUS proxy
• A RADIUS proxy and a RADIUS server
For a configuration that uses a RADIUS client, a RADIUS proxy, and a RADIUS server, the shared
secret that is used between the RADIUS client and the RADIUS proxy can be different from the shared
secret used between the RADIUS proxy and the RADIUS server.
Shared secrets are used to verify that RADIUS messages, with the exception of the Access-Request
message, are sent by a RADIUS-enabled device that is configured with the same shared secret. Shared
secrets also verify that the RADIUS message has not been modified in transit (message integrity). The
shared secret is also used to encrypt some RADIUS attributes, such as User-Password and
Tunnel-Password.
When creating and using a shared secret:
• Use the same case-sensitive shared secret on both RADIUS devices.
• Use a different shared secret for each RADIUS server-RADIUS client pair.
• To ensure a random shared secret, generate a random sequence at least 22 characters long.
• You can use any standard alphanumeric and special characters.
• You can use a shared secret of up to 128 characters in length. To protect your server and your
RADIUS clients from brute force attacks, use long shared secrets (more than 22 characters).
• Make the shared secret a random sequence of letters, numbers, and punctuation and change it often
to protect your server and your RADIUS clients from dictionary attacks. Shared secrets should
contain characters from each of the three groups listed in Table 9-5.
The stronger your shared secret, the more secure are the attributes (for example, those used for
passwords and encryption keys) that are encrypted with it. An example of a strong shared secret is

Timing
This chapter provides information about Cisco ONS 15454 SONET timing. To provision timing, refer to
the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Chapter topics include:
• 10.1 Timing Parameters, page 10-1
• 10.2 Network Timing, page 10-2
• 10.3 Synchronization Status Messaging, page 10-3
10.1 Timing Parameters
SONET timing parameters must be set for each ONS 15454. In addition, an SDH external timing source
can be selected so that a SONET shelf can be deployed in a network using SDH timing. SDH timing is
typically used when the SONET platform is deployed for AU3 SDH applications. Each ONS 15454
independently accepts its timing reference from one of the following sources:
• The building integrated timing supply (BITS) 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 TCC2/TCC2P 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 global positioning satellite (GPS) signal.
• The other nodes are set to line. The line nodes derive timing from the externally timed node through
the OC-N trunk (span) 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 usually assigned to the internal clock provided on every ONS 15454 TCC2/TCC2P card.
However, if you assign all three references to other timing sources, the internal clock is always available
as a backup timing reference. The internal clock is a Stratum 3 (ST3), so if an ONS 15454 node becomes
isolated, timing is maintained at the ST3 level.
The CTC Maintenance > Timing > Report tabs show current timing information for an ONS 15454,
including the timing mode, clock state and status, switch type, and reference data.

Chapter 10 Timing
10.2 Network Timing
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.
Note Only one port can be used for timing related provisioning per line card.
10.2 Network Timing
Figure 10-1 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 multiplexer.
In the example, Slots 5 and 6 contain the trunk (span) 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 1 is 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 an equal distance from Node 1.

10.3 Synchronization Status Messaging
Figure 10-1 ONS 15454 Timing Example
10.3 Synchronization Status Messaging
Synchronization status messaging (SSM) is a SONET and SDH protocol that communicates information
about the quality of the timing source. SSM messages are transported as follows:
• If SSM is carried over an optical line, for both SONET and SDH the SSM is transported in the S1
byte.
• If SSM is carried over an electrical line:
–
For SDH, the SSM is transported in the Sa bit of E1.
–
For SONET, the SSM is transported in the outband loop code.
The SSM messages enable SONET and SDH devices to select the highest quality timing reference
automatically and to avoid timing loops.

10.3.1 SONET SSM Messages
10.3.1 SONET SSM Messages
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 SONET SSM for the
ONS 15454, consult your timing reference documentation to determine which message set to use.
Table 10-1 and Table 10-2 show the SONET Generation 1 and Generation 2 message sets.
10.3.2 SDH SSM Messages
If you enable SDH SSM for the ONS 15454, consult your timing reference documentation to determine
which message set to use. Table 10-3 shows the SDH SSM messages.

Circuits and Tunnels
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This chapter explains Cisco ONS 15454 synchronous transport signal (STS), virtual tributary (VT), and
virtual concatenated (VCAT) circuits and VT, data communications channel (DCC), and IP-encapsulated
tunnels. To provision circuits and tunnels, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

11.1 Overview
You can create circuits across and within ONS 15454 nodes and assign different attributes to circuits.
For example, you can:
• Create one-way, two-way (bidirectional), or broadcast circuits.
• Assign user-defined names to circuits.
• Assign different circuit sizes.
• Automatically or manually route circuits.
• Automatically create multiple circuits with autoranging. VT tunnels do not use autoranging.
• Provide full protection to the circuit path.
• Provide only protected sources and destinations for circuits.
• Define a secondary circuit source or destination that allows you to interoperate an ONS 15454 path
protection configuration with third-party equipment path protection configurations.
• Set path protection circuits as revertive or nonrevertive.
You can provision circuits at either of the following points:
• Before cards are installed. The ONS 15454 allows you to provision slots and circuits before
installing the traffic cards.
• After you preprovision the Small Form-factor Pluggables (SFPs) (also called provisionable port
modules [PPMs]).
• After cards and SFPs are installed and ports are in service. Circuits do not actually carry traffic until
the cards and SFPs are installed and the ports are In-Service and Normal (IS-NR); Out-of-Service
and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OO-AU,AINS); or Out-of-Service and
Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT). Circuits carry traffic as soon as the signal is received.
11.2 Circuit Properties
The ONS 15454 Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) Circuits window, which appears in network, node,
and card view, is where you can view information about circuits. The Circuits window (Figure 11-1)
provides the following information:
• Name—The name of the circuit. The circuit name can be manually assigned or automatically
generated.
• Type—The circuit types are STS (STS circuit), VT (VT circuit), VTT (VT tunnel), VAP (VT
aggregation point), OCHNC (dense wavelength division multiplexing [DWDM] optical channel
network connection; refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide), STS-V (STS VCAT
circuit), or VT-V (VT VCAT circuit).

11.2 Circuit Properties
• Size—The circuit size. VT circuits are 1.5. STS circuit sizes are 1, 3c, 6c, 9c, 12c, 24c, 36c, 48c,
and 192c. OCHNC sizes are Equipped non specific, Multi-rate, 2.5 Gbps No FEC (forward error
correction), 2.5 Gbps FEC, 10 Gbps No FEC, and 10 Gbps FEC (OCHNC is DWDM only; refer to
the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM ProcedureGuide). VCAT circuits are VT1.5-nv, STS-1-nv, STS-3c-nv,
and STS-12c-nv, where n is the number of members. For time slot availability on concatenated STSs,
see the “11.2.1 Concatenated STS Time Slot Assignments” section on page 11-4.
• OCHNC Wlen—For OCHNCs, the wavelength provisioned for the optical channel network
connection. For more information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
• Direction—The circuit direction, either two-way or one-way.
• OCHNC Dir—For OCHNCs, the direction of the optical channel network connection, either east to
west or west to east. For more information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
• Protection—The type of circuit protection. See the “11.2.4 Circuit Protection Types” section on
page 11-9 for a list of protection types.
• Status—The circuit status. See the “11.2.2 Circuit Status” section on page 11-6.
• Source—The circuit source in the format: node/slot/port “port name”/STS/VT. (The port name
appears in quotes.) Node and slot always appear; port “port name”/STS/VT might appear, depending
on the source card, circuit type, and whether a name is assigned to the port. For the OC192-XFP and
MRC-12 cards, the port appears as port pluggable module (PPM)-port. If the circuit size is a
concatenated size (3c, 6c, 12c, etc.), STSs used in the circuit are indicated by an ellipsis, for
example, S7..9, (STSs 7, 8, and 9) or S10..12 (STS 10, 11, and 12).
• Destination—The circuit destination in the same format as the circuit source.
• # of VLANS—The number of VLANs used by an Ethernet circuit.
• # of Spans—The number of internode links that constitute the circuit. Right-clicking the column
shows a shortcut menu from which you can choose Span Details to show or hide circuit span detail.
For each node in the span, the span detail shows the node/slot (card type)/port/STS/VT.
• State—The circuit state. See the “11.2.3 Circuit States” section on page 11-7.
The Filter button allows you to filter the circuits in network, node, or card view based on circuit name,
size, type, direction, and other attributes. In addition, you can export the Circuit window data in HTML,
comma-separated values (CSV), or tab-separated values (TSV) format using the Export command from
the File menu.

11.2.3 Circuit States
11.2.3 Circuit States
The circuit service state is an aggregate of the cross-connect states within the circuit.
• If all cross-connects in a circuit are in the In-Service and Normal (IS-NR) service state, the circuit
service state is In-Service (IS).
PARTIAL A CTC-created circuit is missing a cross-connect or network span, a
complete path from source to destinations does not exist, or an alarm
interface panel (AIP) change occurred on one of the circuit nodes and
the circuit is in need of repair. (AIPs store the node MAC address.)
In CTC, circuits are represented using cross-connects and network
spans. If a network span is missing from a circuit, the circuit status is
PARTIAL. However, a PARTIAL status does not necessarily mean a
circuit traffic failure has occurred, because traffic might flow on a
protect path.
Network spans are in one of two states: up or down. On CTC circuit and
network maps, up spans appear as green lines, and down spans appear
as gray lines. If a failure occurs on a network span during a CTC
session, the span remains on the network map but its color changes to
gray to indicate that the span is down. If you restart your CTC session
while the failure is active, the new CTC session cannot discover the span
and its span line does not appear on the network map.
Subsequently, circuits routed on a network span that goes down appear
as DISCOVERED during the current CTC session, but appear as
PARTIAL to users who log in after the span failure.
DISCOVERED_TL1 A TL1-created circuit or a TL1-like, CTC-created circuit is complete. A
complete path from source to destinations exists.
PARTIAL_TL1 A TL1-created circuit or a TL1-like, CTC-created circuit is missing a
cross-connect or circuit span (network link), and a complete path from
source to destinations does not exist.
CONVERSION_PENDING An existing circuit in a topology upgrade is set to this state. The circuit
returns to the DISCOVERED state once the topology upgrade is
complete. For more information about topology upgrades, see
Chapter 12, “SONET Topologies and Upgrades.”
PENDING_MERGE Any new circuits created to represent an alternate path in a topology
upgrade are set to this status to indicate that it is a temporary circuit.
These circuits can be deleted if a topology upgrade fails. For more
information about topology upgrades, see Chapter 12, “SONET
Topologies and Upgrades.”
DROP_PENDING A circuit is set to this status when a new circuit drop is being added.
ROLL_PENDING A circuit roll is awaiting completion or cancellation.

Chapter 11 Circuits and Tunnels
11.2.3 Circuit States
• If all cross-connects in a circuit are in an Out-of-Service (OOS) service state, such as Out-of-Service
and Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT); Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled
(OOS-MA,DSBLD); or Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS)
service state, the circuit service state is Out-of-Service (OOS).
• PARTIAL is appended to the OOS circuit service state when circuit cross-connects state are mixed
and not all in IS-NR. The OOS-PARTIAL state can occur during automatic or manual transitions
between states. For example, OOS-PARTIAL appears if you assign the IS,AINS administrative state
to a circuit with DS-1 or DS3XM cards as the source or destination. Some cross-connects transition
to the IS-NR service state, while others transition to OOS-AU,AINS. OOS-PARTIAL can appear
during a manual transition caused by an abnormal event such as a CTC crash or communication
error, or if one of the cross-connects could not be changed. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454
Troubleshooting Guide for troubleshooting procedures. The OOS-PARTIAL circuit state does not
apply to OCHNC circuit types.
You can assign a state to circuit cross-connects at two points:
• During circuit creation, you can set the state in the Create Circuit wizard.
• After circuit creation, you can change a circuit state in the Edit Circuit window or from the
Tools > Circuits > Set Circuit State menu.
Note After you have created an initial circuit in a CTC session, the subsequent circuit states default to the
circuit state of the initial circuit, regardless of which nodes in the network the circuits traverse or the
node.ckt.state default setting.
During circuit creation, you can apply a service state to the drop ports in a circuit. You cannot transition
a drop port from the IS-NR service state to the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state; you must first put the
port in the OOS-MA,MT state before changing it to the OOS-MA,DSBLD state. For more information
about port service state transitions, see Appendix B, “Administrative and Service States.”
Circuits do not use the soak timer, but ports do. The soak period is the amount of time that the port
remains in the OOS-AU,AINS service state after a signal is continuously received. When the
cross-connects in a circuit are in the OOS-AU,AINS service state, the ONS 15454 monitors the
cross-connects for an error-free signal. It changes the state of the circuit from OOS to IS or to
OOS-PARTIAL as each cross-connect assigned to the circuit path is completed. This allows you to
provision a circuit using TL1, verify its path continuity, and prepare the port to go into service when it
receives an error-free signal for the time specified in the port soak timer. Two common examples of state
changes you see when provisioning circuits using CTC are:
• When assigning the IS,AINS administrative state to cross-connects in VT circuits and VT tunnels,
the source and destination ports on the VT circuits remain in the OOS-AU,AINS service state until
an alarm-free signal is received for the duration of the soak timer. When the soak timer expires and
an alarm-free signal is found, the VT source port and destination port service states change to IS-NR
and the circuit service state becomes IS.
• When assigning the IS,AINS administrative state to cross-connects in STS circuits, the circuit
source and destination ports transition to the OOS-AU,AINS service state. When an alarm-free
signal is received, the source and destination ports remain OOS-AU,AINS for the duration of the
soak timer. After the port soak timer expires, STS source and destination ports change to IS-NR and
the circuit service state changes to IS.
To find the remaining port soak time, choose the Maintenance > AINS Soak tabs in card view and click
the Retrieve button. If the port is in the OOS-AU,AINS state and has a good signal, the Time Until IS

Figure 11-2 BLSR Circuit Displayed on the Detailed Circuit Map
11.3 Cross-Connect Card Bandwidth
The ONS 15454 XCVT, XC10G, and XC-VXC-10G cross-connect cards perform port-to-port,
time-division multiplexing (TDM). XCVT, XC10G, and XC-VXC-10G cards perform STS, VT2
(XC-VXC-10G only), and VT1.5 multiplexing.
The STS matrix on the XCVT cross-connect card has a capacity for 288 STS terminations, and the
XC10G and XC-VXC-10G cards each have a capacity for 1152 STS terminations. Because each STS
circuit requires a minimum of two terminations, one for ingress and one for egress, the XCVT card has
a capacity for 144 STS circuits, while the XC10G and XC-VXC-10G cards have a capacity for 576 STS
circuits. However, this capacity is reduced at path protection and 1+1 nodes because three STS
terminations are required at circuit source and destination nodes and four terminations are required at
1+1 circuit pass-through nodes. Path protection pass-through nodes only require two STS terminations.
The XCVT and XC10G cards perform VT1.5 multiplexing through 24 logical STS ports on the XCVT
or XC10G VT matrix, and the XC-VXC-10G card performs VT1.5 and VT2 multiplexing through 96
logical STS ports on the XC-VXC-10G VT matrix. Each logical STS port can carry 28 VT1.5s or 21
VT2s. Subsequently, the VT matrix on the XCVT or XC10G has capacity for 672 VT1.5 terminations,
or 336 VT1.5 circuits. The VT matrix on the XC-VXC-10G has capacity for 2688 VT1.5 terminations
(1344 VT1.5 bidirectional circuits) or 2016 VT2 terminations (1008 VT2 bidirectional circuits). Every
circuit requires two terminations, one for ingress and one for egress. However, this capacity is only
achievable if:
• Every STS port on the VT matrix carries 28 VT1.5s or 21 VT2s.
• The node is in a BLSR or 1+1 protection scheme.

11.3 Cross-Connect Card Bandwidth
For example, if you create a VT1.5 circuit from an STS-1 on a drop card, two VT matrix STS ports are
used, as shown in Figure 11-3. If you create a second VT1.5 circuit from the same STS port on the drop
card, no additional logical STS ports are used on the VT matrix. In fact, you can create up to 28 VT1.5
circuits using the same STS-1 port. However, if the next VT1.5 circuit originates on a different STS, an
additional pair of STS ports on the VT matrix is used, as shown in Figure 11-4. If you continued to create
VT1.5 circuits on different EC-1 STSs and mapped each to an unused outbound STS, the VT matrix
capacity would be reached after you created 12 VT1.5 circuits in the case of the XCVT or XC10G cards,
or 48 VT1.5 circuits in the case of the XC-VXC-10G card.

Note Circuits with DS1-14 and DS1N-14 circuit sources or destinations use one STS port on the VT matrix.
Because you can only create 14 VT1.5 circuits from the DS-1 cards, 14 VT1.5s are unused on the VT
matrix.
VT matrix capacity is also affected by SONET protection topology and node position within the circuit
path. Matrix usage is slightly higher for path protection nodes than BLSR and 1+1 nodes. Circuits use
two VT matrix ports at pass-through nodes if VT tunnels and aggregation points are not used. If the
circuit is routed on a VT tunnel or an aggregation point, no VT matrix resources are used. Table 11-5

11.4 Portless Transmux
Cross-connect card resources can be viewed on the Maintenance > Cross-Connect > Resource Usage tab.
This tab shows:
• STS-1 Matrix—The percent of STS matrix resources that are used. 288 STSs are available on XCVT
cards; 1152 are available on XC10G and XC-VXC-10G cards.
• VT Matrix Ports—The percent of the VT matrix ports (logical STS ports) that are used. 24 ports are
available on XCVT and XC10G cards. 96 ports are available on the XC-VXC-10G card. The
VT Port Matrix Detail shows the percent of each VT matrix port that is used.
• VT Matrix—The percent of the total VT matrix terminations that are used. There are
672 terminations for the XCVT and XC10G cards. 672 is the number of logical STS VT matrix
ports (24) multiplied by the number of VT1.5s per port (28). There are 2688 terminations for the
XC-VXC-10G card. 2688 is the number of logical STS VT matrix ports (96) multiplied by the
number of VT1.5s per port (28).
To maximize resources on the cross-connect card VT matrix, keep the following points in mind as you
provision circuits:
• Use all 28 VT1.5s on a given port or STS before moving to the next port or STS.
• Try to use EC-1, DS3XM, or OC-N cards as the VT1.5 circuit source and destination. VT1.5 circuits
with DS-1-14 or DS1N-14 sources or destinations use a full port on the VT matrix even though only
14 VT1.5 circuits can be created.
• Use VT tunnels and VT aggregation points to reduce VT matrix utilization. VT tunnels allow VT1.5
circuits to bypass the VT matrix on pass-through nodes. They are cross-connected as STSs and only
go through the STS matrix. VT aggregation points allow multiple VT1.5 circuits to be aggregated
onto a single STS to bypass the VT matrix at the aggregation node.
11.4 Portless Transmux
The DS3XM-12 card provides a portless transmux interface to change DS-3s into VT1.5s. For XCVT
drop slots, the DS3XM-12 card provides a maximum of 6 portless transmux interfaces; for XCVT trunk
slots and XC10G or XC-VXC-10G slots, the DS3XM-12 card provides a maximum of 12 portless
transmux interfaces. If two ports are configured as portless transmux, CTC allows you to create a
DS3/STS1 circuit using one of these ports as the circuit end point. You can create separate DS1/VT1.5
circuits (up to 28) using the other port in this portless transmux pair.
When creating a circuit through the DS3XM-12 card, the portless pair blocks the mapped physical
port(s); CTC does not display a blocked physical port in the source or destination drop-down list during
circuit creation. Table 11-6 lists the portless transmux mapping for XCVT drop ports.

11.5 DCC Tunnels
Table 11-7 lists the portless transmux for XCVT trunk ports and for XC10G or XC-VXC-10G any-slot
ports.
11.5 DCC Tunnels
SONET provides four DCCs for network element (NE) operation, administration, maintenance, and
provisioning (OAM&P): one on the SONET Section layer (DCC1) and three on the SONET Line layer
(DCC2, DCC3, and DCC4). The ONS 15454 uses the Section DCC (SDCC) for ONS 15454 management
and provisioning. An SDCC and Line DCC (LDCC) each provide 192 Kbps of bandwidth per channel.
The aggregate bandwidth of the three LDCCs is 576 Kbps. When multiple DCC channels exist between
two neighboring nodes, the ONS 15454 balances traffic over the existing DCC channels using a load
balancing algorithm. This algorithm chooses a DCC for packet transport by considering packet size and
DCC utilization. You can tunnel third-party SONET equipment across ONS 15454 networks using one
of two tunneling methods: a traditional DCC tunnel or an IP-encapsulated tunnel.

11.5.1 Traditional DCC Tunnels
11.5.1 Traditional DCC Tunnels
In traditional DCC tunnels, you can use the three LDCCs and the SDCC (when not used for ONS 15454
DCC terminations). A traditional DCC tunnel endpoint is defined by slot, port, and DCC, where DCC
can be either the SDCC or one of the LDCCs. You can link LDCCs to LDCCs and link SDCCs to SDCCs.
You can also link an SDCC to an LDCC, and an LDCC to an SDCC. To create a DCC tunnel, you connect
the tunnel endpoints from one ONS 15454 optical port to another. Cisco recommends a maximum of
84 DCC tunnel connections for an ONS 15454. Table 11-8 shows the DCC tunnels that you can create
using different OC-N cards.
Figure 11-5 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
(span) 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).
Figure 11-5 Traditional DCC Tunnel
When you create DCC tunnels, keep the following guidelines in mind:
• Each ONS 15454 can have up to 84 DCC tunnel connections.
• Each ONS 15454 can have up to 84 Section DCC terminations.
• A SDCC that is terminated cannot be used as a DCC tunnel endpoint.
• A SDCC that is used as an DCC tunnel endpoint cannot be terminated.

11.5.2 IP-Encapsulated Tunnels
• All DCC tunnel connections are bidirectional.
11.5.2 IP-Encapsulated Tunnels
An IP-encapsulated tunnel puts an SDCC in an IP packet at a source node and dynamically routes the
packet to a destination node. To compare traditional DCC tunnels with IP-encapsulated tunnels, a
traditional DCC tunnel is configured as one dedicated path across a network and does not provide a
failure recovery mechanism if the path is down. An IP-encapsulated tunnel is a virtual path, which adds
protection when traffic travels between different networks.
IP-encapsulated tunneling has the potential of flooding the DCC network with traffic resulting in a
degradation of performance for CTC. The data originating from an IP tunnel can be throttled to a
user-specified rate, which is a percentage of the total SDCC bandwidth.
Each ONS 15454 supports up to ten IP-encapsulated tunnels. You can convert a traditional DCC tunnel
to an IP-encapsulated tunnel or an IP-encapsulated tunnel to a traditional DCC tunnel. Only tunnels in
the DISCOVERED status can be converted.
Caution Converting from one tunnel type to the other is service-affecting.
11.6 SDH Tunneling
The Cisco ONS 15454 SONET MSPP provides a SDH traffic transport solution with scalable SONET,
data or DWDM multiservice capabilities. The SDH traffic is aggregated and transported across an ONS
15454 network, similar to the SONET TDM and data services. STM-1 to STM-64 payloads are
transported over SONET from any port on a Cisco ONS 15454 OC-N card provisioned to support SDH
signals. For more information on SDH tunneling, refer to the "SDH Tunneling Over Cisco ONS 15454
SONET MSPP Systems Application Note.
11.7 Multiple Destinations for Unidirectional Circuits
Unidirectional circuits can have multiple destinations for use in broadcast circuit schemes. In broadcast
scenarios, one source transmits traffic to multiple destinations, but traffic is not returned to the source.
When you create a unidirectional circuit, the card that does not have its backplane receive (Rx) input
terminated with a valid input signal generates a loss of signal (LOS) alarm. To mask the alarm, create an
alarm profile suppressing the LOS alarm and apply the profile to the port that does not have its Rx input
terminated.
11.8 Monitor Circuits
Monitor circuits are secondary circuits that monitor traffic on primary bidirectional circuits. Figure 11-6
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, plug test equipment into Port 2 of the EC1-12 card and provision a monitor
circuit to Port 2. Circuit monitors are one-way. The monitor circuit in Figure 11-6 monitors VT1.5 traffic
received by Port 1 of the EC1-12 card.

With STS bi-directional circuit between source and destination and with VT-MAPPED at "circuit

1) src->even portless port
2) odd portless port->dest
Traffic flow from source to dest is as follows:
src->even port->odd port->dest
While creating Monitor circuit using Even portless port as source, the circuit will get created in the
direction towards:
dest-> odd portless port-> Even portless port -> dest Monitored port
While creating Monitor circuit using odd portless port as source, the circuit will get created in the
direction towards:
src-> Even portless port-> odd portless port -> dest Monitored port
Note Monitor circuits cannot be used with Ethernet circuits.

11.9.1 Open-Ended Path Protection Circuits
If ONS 15454s are connected to a third-party network, you can create an open-ended path protection
circuit to route a circuit through it. To do this, you create four circuits. One circuit is created on the
source ONS 15454 network. This circuit has one source and two destinations, each destination
provisioned to the ONS 15454 interface that is connected to the third-party network. The second and
third circuits are created on the third-party network so that the circuit travels across the network on two
diverse paths to the far end ONS 15454. At the destination node, the fourth circuit is created with two
sources, one at each node interface connected to the third-party network. A selector at the destination
node chooses between the two signals that arrive at the node, similar to a regular path protection circuit.

be the shortest path. If a fault occurs, both the working and protection fibers are not affected. This feature
only applies to bidirectional path protection circuits. The go-and-return option appears in the Circuit
Attributes panel of the Circuit Creation wizard.
Figure 11-8 Path Protection Go-and-Return Routing
11.10 BLSR Protection Channel Access Circuits
You can provision circuits to carry traffic on BLSR protection channels when conditions are fault-free.
Traffic routed on BLSR PCA circuits, called extra traffic, has lower priority than the traffic on the
working channels and has no means for protection. During ring or span switches, PCA circuits are
preempted and squelched. For example, in a two-fiber OC-48 BLSR, STSs 25 to 48 can carry extra traffic
when no ring switches are active, but PCA circuits on these STSs are preempted when a ring switch
occurs. When the conditions that caused the ring switch are remedied and the ring switch is removed,
PCA circuits are restored. If the BLSR is provisioned as revertive, this occurs automatically after the
fault conditions are cleared and the reversion timer has expired.
Traffic provisioning on BLSR protection channels is performed during circuit provisioning. The
Protection Channel Access check box appears whenever Fully Protected Path is unchecked in the circuit
creation wizard. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide for more information. When
provisioning PCA circuits, two considerations are important to keep in mind:

11.11 BLSR STS and VT Squelch Tables
• If BLSRs are provisioned as nonrevertive, PCA circuits are not restored automatically after a ring
or span switch. You must switch the BLSR manually.
• PCA circuits are routed on working channels when you upgrade a BLSR from a two-fiber to a
four-fiber or from one optical speed to a higher optical speed. For example, if you upgrade a
two-fiber OC-48 BLSR to an OC-192, STSs 25 to 48 on the OC-48 BLSR become working channels
on the OC-192 BLSR.
11.11 BLSR STS and VT Squelch Tables
ONS 15454 nodes display STS and VT squelch tables depending on the type of circuits created. For
example, if a fiber cut occurs, the BLSR squelch tables show STSs or VTs that will be squelched for
every isolated node. Squelching replaces traffic by inserting the appropriate alarm indication signal path
(AIS-P) and prevents traffic misconnections. For an STS with a VT-access check mark, the AIS-P will
be removed after 100 ms. To view the squelch tables, refer to the “Manage Circuits” chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide for detailed instructions. For more information about BLSR
squelching, refer to Telcordia GR-1230.
11.11.1 BLSR STS Squelch Table
BLSR STS squelch tables show STSs that will be squelched for every isolated node.
The BLSR Squelch Table window displays the following information:
• STS Number—Shows the BLSR STS numbers. For two-fiber BLSRs, the number of STSs is half
the BLSR OC-N, for example, an OC-48 BLSR squelch table will show 24 STSs. For four-fiber
BLSRs, the number of STSs in the table is the same as the BLSR OC-N.
• West Source—If traffic is received by the node on its west span, the BLSR node ID of the source
appears. (To view the BLSR node IDs for all nodes in the ring, click the Ring Map button.)
• West VT (from the West Source) — A check mark indicates that the STS carries incoming VT
traffic. The traffic source is coming from the west side.
• West VT (from the West Destination) — A check mark indicates that the STS carries outgoing VT
traffic. The traffic is dropped on the west side.
• West Dest—If traffic is sent on the node’s west span, the BLSR node ID of the destination appears.
• East Source—If traffic is received by the node on its east span, the BLSR node ID of the source
appears.
• East VT — (from the East Source) - A check mark indicates that the STS carries incoming VT
traffic. The traffic source is coming from the east side.
• East VT — (from the East Destination) - A check mark indicate that the STS carries outgoing VT
traffic. The traffic is dropped on the east side.
• East Dest—If traffic is sent on the node’s east span, the BLSR node ID of the destination appears.
Note BLSR squelching is performed on STSs that carry STS circuits only. Squelch table entries will not
appear for STSs carrying VT circuits or Ethernet circuits to or from E-Series Ethernet cards provisioned
in a multicard Ethergroup.

11.11.2 BLSR VT Squelch Table
11.11.2 BLSR VT Squelch Table
BLSR VT squelch tables only appear on the node dropping VTs from a BLSR and are used to perform
VT-level squelching when a node is isolated. VT squelching is supported on the ONS 15454 and the
ONS 15327 platforms. The ONS 15600 platform does not support VT squelching; however, when an
ONS 15454 and an ONS 15600 are in the same network, the ONS 15600 node allows the ONS 15454
node to carry VT circuits in a VT tunnel. The ONS 15600 performs 100-ms STS-level squelching for
each VT-access STS at the switching node in case of a node failure.
When using a VT circuit on a VT tunnel (VTT), the VTT allows multiple VT circuits to be passed
through on a single STS without consuming VT matrix resources on the cross-connect card. Both
endpoints of the VTT are the source and destination nodes for the VTT. The node carrying VT circuits
through a VTT is called a VT-access node. In case of a source and destination node failure of the VTT,
the switching node performs 100-ms STS-level squelching for the VTT STS. The node dropping VT
traffic performs VT-level squelching. VT traffic on the VTT that is not coming from the failed node is
protected.
When using a VT circuit on a VT aggregation point (VAP), the VAP allows multiple VT circuits to be
aggregated into a single STS without consuming VT matrix resources on the cross-connect card. The
source for each VAP STS timeslot is the STS-grooming end where VT1.5 circuits are aggregated into a
single STS. The destination for each VAP STS is the VT-grooming end where VT1.5 circuits originated.
The source node for each VT circuit on a VAP is the STS-grooming end where the VT1.5 circuits are
aggregated into a single STS. The STS grooming node is not a VT-access node. The non VT-access node
performs STS-level squelching for each STS timeslot at the switching node in case the VT-grooming
node fails. The node dropping VT traffic performs VT-level squelching for each VT timeslot in case the
STS-grooming end node fails. No VT traffic on the VAP is protected during a failure of the
STS-grooming node or the VT-grooming node.
To view the VT squelch table, double-click the VT with a check mark in the BLSR STS squelch table
window. The check mark appears on every VT-access STS; however, the VT-squelch table appears only
by double-clicking the check mark on the node dropping the VT. The intermediate node of the VT does
not maintain the VT-squelch table.
The VT squelch table provides the following information:
• VT Number—Shows the BLSR VT numbers. The VT number includes VT group number and VT
number in group (VT group 2 and channel 1 are displayed as 2-1.)
• West Source—If traffic is received by the node on its west span, the BLSR node ID of the source
appears. (To view the BLSR node IDs for all nodes in the ring, click the Ring Map button.)
• East Source—If traffic is received by the node on its east span, the BLSR node ID of the source
appears.

The OC192-XFP and MRC-12 cards support J0 section trace. Ta ble 1 1-9 shows the ONS 15454 cards
that support J1 path trace. DS-1 and DS-3 cards can transmit and receive the J1 field, while the EC-1,
OC-3, OC-48 AS, and OC-192 can only receive the J1 bytes. Cards that are not listed in the table do not
support the J1 byte. The DS3XM-12 card supports J2 path trace for VT circuits.

11.14 Path Signal Label, C2 Byte
If the string received at a circuit drop port does not match the string the port expects to receive, an alarm

• Automatic—The receiving port assumes that the first string it receives is the baseline string.
• Manual—The receiving port uses a string that you manually enter as the baseline string.
11.14 Path Signal Label, C2 Byte
One of the overhead bytes in the SONET frame is the C2 byte. The SONET standard defines the C2 byte
as the path signal label. The purpose of this byte is to communicate the payload type being encapsulated
by the STS path overhead (POH). The C2 byte functions similarly to EtherType and Logical Link Control

interface to transport multiple payload types simultaneously. C2 byte hex values are provided in
Table 11-10.
If a circuit is provisioned using a terminating card, the terminating card provides the C2 byte. A VT
circuit is terminated at the XCVT, XC10G, or XC-VXC-10G card, which generates the C2 byte (0x02)
downstream to the STS terminating cards. The XCVT, XC10G, or XC-VXC-10G card generates the C2
value (0x02) to the DS1 or DS3XM terminating card. If an optical circuit is created with no terminating
cards, the test equipment must supply the path overhead in terminating mode. If the test equipment is in
pass-through mode, the C2 values usually change rapidly between 0x00 and 0xFF. Adding a terminating
card to an optical circuit usually fixes a circuit having C2 byte problems. Table 11-11 lists label

11.15 Automatic Circuit Routing
11.15 Automatic Circuit Routing
If you select automatic routing during circuit creation, CTC routes the circuit by dividing the entire
circuit route into segments based on protection domains. For unprotected segments of circuits
provisioned as fully protected, CTC finds an alternate route to protect the segment, creating a virtual path
protection configuration. Each segment of a circuit path is a separate protection domain. Each protection
domain is protected in a specific protection scheme including card protection (1+1, 1:1, etc.) or SONET
topology (path protection, BLSR, etc.).
The following list provides principles and characteristics 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 can still contain protected
segments. Because circuit routing always selects the shortest path, one or more links and/or
segments can have some protection. CTC does not look at link protection while computing a path
for unprotected circuits.

Chapter 11 Circuits and Tunnels
11.15.1 Bandwidth Allocation and Routing
• Circuit routing does 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 the shortest path from the new drop to any nodes on the existing circuit.
• If the network has a mixture of VT-capable nodes and VT-incapable nodes, CTC can automatically
create a VT tunnel. Otherwise, CTC asks you whether a VT tunnel is needed.
• To create protected circuits between topologies, install an XCVT, XC10G, or XC-VXC-10G
cross-connect card on the shared node.
• For STS circuits, you can use portless transmux interfaces if a DS3XM-12 card is installed in the
network. CTC automatically routes the circuit over the portless transmux interfaces on the specified
node creating an end-to-end STS circuit.
Note Automatic routing and its associated subfields are not available if both the Automatic Circuit Routing
NE default and the Network Circuit Automatic Routing Overridable NE default are set to FALSE. For a
full description of these defaults see Appendix C, “Network Element Defaults.”
11.15.1 Bandwidth Allocation and Routing
Within a given network, CTC routes circuits on the shortest possible path between source and destination
based on the circuit attributes, such as protection and type. CTC considers 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 BLSRs.
If CTC cannot find a link that meets these requirements, an error appears.
The same logic applies to VT circuits on VT tunnels. Circuit routing typically favors VT tunnels because
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.
11.15.2 Secondary Sources and Destinations
CTC supports secondary circuit sources and destinations (drops). Secondary sources and destinations
typically interconnect two third-party networks, as shown in Figure 11-9. Traffic is protected while it
goes through a network of ONS 15454s.

78-18106-01
Chapter 11 Circuits and Tunnels
11.16 Manual Circuit Routing
Figure 11-9 Secondary Sources and Destinations
Several rules apply to secondary sources and destinations:
• CTC does not allow a secondary destination for unidirectional circuits because you can always
specify additional destinations after you create the circuit.
• The sources and destinations cannot be DS-3, DS3XM, or DS-1-based STS-1s or VT1.5s.
• Secondary sources and destinations are permitted only for regular STS/VT1.5 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 destinations.
For bidirectional circuits, CTC creates a path protection 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 path protection 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 path protection drop-and-continue connection is created at the source node.
11.16 Manual Circuit Routing
Routing circuits manually allows you to:
• Choose a specific path, not necessarily the shortest path.
• Choose a specific STS/VT1.5 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 path protection
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.
• If you enabled Fully Path Protected, choose a diverse protect (alternate) path for every unprotected
segment (Figure 11-10).

• For multicard EtherSwitch circuits, the Fully Path Protected option is ignored.
• For a node that has a path protection selector based on the links chosen, the input links to the path
protection selectors cannot be 1+1 or BLSR protected (Figure 11-11). The same rule applies at the
path protection bridge.

• Multicard EtherSwitch circuits can have virtual path protection segments if the source or destination
is not in the path protection domain. This restriction also applies after circuit creation; therefore, if
you create a circuit with path protection segments, Ethernet destinations cannot exist anywhere on
the path protection segment (Figure 11-13).
Figure 11-13 Ethernet and Path Protection
• A VT tunnel cannot be the endpoint of a path protection segment. A path protection segment
endpoint is where the path protection selector resides.
If you provision full path protection, 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 scheme.

Chapter 11 Circuits and Tunnels
11.17 Constraint-Based Circuit Routing
Although virtual path protection segments are possible in VT tunnels, VT tunnels are still considered
unprotected. If you need to protect VT circuits, use two independent VT tunnels that are diversely routed
or use a VT tunnel that is routed over 1+1, BLSR, or a mixture of 1+1 and BLSR links.
11.17 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 that CTC calculates for the circuit. If
the network is composed entirely of BLSR or 1+1 links, or the path between source and destination can
be entirely protected using 1+1 or BLSR links, no path-protected mesh network (PPMN), or virtual path
protection, protection is used.
If PPMN protection is needed to protect the path, set the level of node diversity for the PPMN portions
of the complete path in the Circuit Routing Preferences area of the Circuit Creation dialog box:
• Nodal Diversity Required—Ensures that the primary and alternate paths of each PPMN domain in
the complete path have a diverse set of nodes.
• Nodal Diversity 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.
• Link Diversity Only—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 or
exclude nodes and links in the calculated route. You can use this option to achieve the following results:
• 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 have most of their bandwidth available. By selecting a required node and/or
a link, you force the CTC to use (or not use) an element, resulting in more efficient 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 that 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.

11.18 Virtual Concatenated Circuits
11.18 Virtual Concatenated Circuits
Virtual concatenated (VCAT) circuits, also called VCAT groups (VCGs), transport traffic using
noncontiguous TDM time slots, avoiding the bandwidth fragmentation problem that exists with
contiguous concatenated (CCAT) circuits. The cards that support VCAT circuits are the CE-Series,
FC_MR-4 (both line rate and enhanced mode), and ML-Series cards.
In a VCAT circuit, circuit bandwidth is divided into smaller circuits called VCAT members. The
individual members act as independent TDM circuits. All VCAT members should be the same size and
must originate and terminate at the same end points. For two-fiber BLSR configurations, some members
can be routed on protected time slots and others on PCA time slots.
To enable end-to-end connectivity in a VCAT circuit that traverses through a third-party network, you
can use Open-Ended VCAT circuit creation, or you can create a server trail between the ports. For more
details, refer to the "Create Circuits and VT Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
11.18.1 VCAT Circuit States
The state of a VCAT circuit is an aggregate of its member circuits. You can view whether a VCAT
member is In Group or Out of Group in the VCAT State column in the Edit Circuits window.
• If all member circuits are in the IS state, the VCAT circuit state is IS.
• If all In Group member circuits are in the OOS state, the VCAT circuit state is OOS.
• If no member circuits exist or if all member circuits are Out of Group, the VCAT circuit state is
OOS.
• A VCAT circuit is in OOS-PARTIAL state when In Group member states are mixed and not all are
in the IS state.
11.18.2 VCAT Member Routing
The automatic and manual routing selection applies to the entire VCAT circuit, that is, all members are
manually or automatically routed. Bidirectional VCAT circuits are symmetric, which means that the
same number of members travel in each direction. With automatic routing, you can specify the
constraints for individual members; with manual routing, you can select different spans for different
members.
Two types of automatic and manual routing are available for VCAT members: common fiber routing and
split routing. CE-Series, FC_MR-4 (both line rate and enhanced mode), and ML-Series cards support
common fiber routing. In common fiber routing, all VCAT members travel on the same fibers, which
eliminates delay between members. Three protection options are available for common fiber routing:
Fully Protected, PCA, and Unprotected. Figure 11-14 shows an example of common fiber routing.

Chapter 11 Circuits and Tunnels
11.18.2 VCAT Member Routing
Figure 11-14 VCAT Common Fiber Routing
CE-Series cards also support split fiber routing, which allows the individual members to be routed on
different fibers or each member to have different routing constraints. This mode offers the greatest
bandwidth efficiency and also the possibility of differential delay, which is handled by the buffers on the
terminating cards. Four protection options are available for split fiber routing: Fully Protected, PCA,
Unprotected, and DRI. Figure 11-15 shows an example of split fiber routing.
Figure 11-15 VCAT Split Fiber Routing
In both common fiber and split fiber routing, each member can use a different protection scheme;
however, for common fiber routing, CTC checks the combination to make sure that a valid route exists.
If it does not, the user must modify the protection type. In both common fiber and split fiber routing,
intermediate nodes treat the VCAT members as normal circuits that are independently routed and
protected by the SONET network. At the terminating nodes, these member circuits are multiplexed into
a contiguous stream of data.
The switch time for split fiber routing depends on the type of circuits traversing the path.
• CCAT circuits carry traffic after the SONET defects are cleared.
• VCAT circuits carry traffic after the SONET defects are cleared and VCAT framers are in frame for
ALL the time slots that are part of the group. Hence the switchover takes extra time.
• LCAS circuits carry traffic after the SONET defects are cleared, and the VCAT framers are in frame
for any time slots that are part of the group, and the LCAS protocol has fed back MST=OK
(MST=Member Status) to the far end so the far end can enable the time slot to carry traffic.

Chapter 11 Circuits and Tunnels
11.18.3 Link Capacity Adjustment
Note The switch time values shown in Table 11-16 does not include differential delay. The maximum
differential delay for CE100T-8 is 122ms. This differential delay is added to the switch time to
get the maximum time.
11.18.3 Link Capacity Adjustment
The CE-100T-8 card supports the link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS), which is a signaling
protocol that allows dynamic bandwidth adjustment of VCAT circuits. When a member fails, a brief
traffic hit occurs. LCAS temporarily removes the failed member from the VCAT circuit for the duration
of the failure, leaving the remaining members to carry the traffic. When the failure clears, the member
circuit is automatically added back into the VCAT circuit without affecting traffic. You can select LCAS
during VCAT circuit creation.
Note Although LCAS operations are errorless, a SONET error can affect one or more VCAT members. If this
occurs, the VCAT Group Degraded (VCG-DEG) alarm is raised. For information on clearing this alarm,
refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.
Instead of LCAS, the FC_MR-4 (enhanced mode), CE-1000-4 card, and ML-Series cards support
software LCAS (SW-LCAS). SW-LCAS is a limited form of LCAS that allows the VCAT circuit to adapt
to member failures and keep traffic flowing at a reduced bandwidth. SW-LCAS uses legacy SONET
failure indicators like AIS-P and remote defect indication, path (RDI-P) to detect member failure.
SW-LCAS removes the failed member from the VCAT circuit, leaving the remaining members to carry
the traffic. When the failure clears, the member circuit is automatically added back into the VCAT
circuit. For ML-Series cards, SW-LCAS allows circuit pairing over two-fiber BLSRs. With circuit
pairing, a VCAT circuit is set up between two ML-Series cards: one is a protected circuit (line
protection) and the other is a PCA circuit. For four-fiber BLSRs, member protection cannot be mixed.
You select SW-LCAS during VCAT circuit creation. The FC_MR-4 (line rate mode) does not support
SW-LCAS.
In addition, you can create non-LCAS VCAT circuits, which do not use LCAS or SW-LCAS. While
LCAS and SW-LCAS member cross-connects can be in different service states, all In Group non-LCAS
members must have cross-connects in the same service state. A non-LCAS circuit can mix Out of Group
and In Group members, as long as the In Group members are in the same service state. Non-LCAS
members do not support the OOS-MA,OOG service state; to put a non-LCAS member in the Out
of Group VCAT state, use the OOS-MA,DSBLD administrative state.

11.18.4 VCAT Circuit Size
Note Protection switching for LCAS, SW-LCAS, and non-LCAS VCAT circuits might exceed 60ms. Traffic
loss for VT VCAT circuits is approximately two times more than an STS VCAT circuit. You can
minimize traffic loss by reducing path differential delay.
11.18.4 VCAT Circuit Size
Table 11-17 lists supported VCAT circuit rates and number of members for each card.
Use the Members tab in the Edit Circuit window to add or delete members from a VCAT circuit. The
capability to add or delete members depends on the card and whether the VCAT circuit is LCAS,
SW-LCAS, or non-LCAS.
• CE-100T-8 cards—You can add or delete members to an LCAS VCAT circuit without affecting
service. Before deleting a member of an LCAS VCAT circuit, Cisco recommends that you put the
member in the OOS-MA,OOG service state. If you create non-LCAS VCAT circuits, adding and
deleting members to the circuit is possible, but service-affecting.
• CE-1000-4 cards—You can add or delete SW-LCAS VCAT members, although it might affect
service. Before deleting a member, Cisco recommends that you put the member in the
OOS-MA,OOG service state. If you create non-LCAS VCAT circuits, adding and deleting members
to the circuit is possible, but service-affecting.
• FC_MR-4 (enhanced mode) card—You can add or delete SW-LCAS VCAT members, although it
might affect service. Before deleting a member, Cisco recommends that you put the member in the
OOS-MA,OOG service state. You cannot add or delete members from non-LCAS VCAT circuits on
FC_MR-4 cards.

11.18.5 Open-Ended VCAT
Figure 11-16 Open-Ended VCAT
Open-ended VCAT circuits can originate or terminate on any pair of OC-N ports and you can route
open-ended VCAT circuits using any of the cards and ports supported by VCAT. The CTC circuit
creation wizard provides an additional check box in the VCAT attributes pane to enable Open-VCAT
circuit creation. Enabling the check box differentiates open-ended VCAT from regular VCAT Circuits.
The routing preferences for an open-ended VCAT circuit must be specified in the initial stages of circuit
provisioning. For example, if the circuit is independent fiber routing, then multiple OC-N ports can be
involved. Alternatively, the source of an open-VCAT circuit should always be a card capable of
participating in a VCG. This allows CTC to determine which routing preferences are permissible.
Auto ranging of 12 STS1 circuits is supported.

11.19 Bridge and Roll
The CTC Bridge and Roll wizard reroutes live traffic without interrupting service. The bridge process
takes traffic from a designated “roll from” facility and establishes a cross-connect to the designated “roll
to” facility. When the bridged signal at the receiving end point is verified, the roll process creates a new
cross-connect to receive the new signal. When the roll completes, the original cross-connects are
released. You can use the bridge and roll feature for maintenance functions such as card or facility
replacement, or for load balancing. You can perform a bridge and roll on the following ONS platforms:
ONS 15454, ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15600, ONS 15327, and ONS 15310-CL.

The Rolls window information includes:
• Roll From Circuit—The circuit that has connections that will no longer be used when the roll
process is complete.
• Roll To Circuit—The circuit that will carry the traffic after the roll process is complete. The
Roll To Circuit is the same as the Roll From Circuit if a single circuit is involved in a roll.
• Roll State—The roll status; see the “11.19.2 Roll Status” section on page 11-42.
• Roll Valid Signal—If the Roll Valid Signal status is true, a valid signal was found on the new port.
If the Roll Valid Signal status is false, a valid signal was not found. It is not possible to get a
Roll Valid Signal status of true for a one-way destination roll.
• Roll Mode—The mode indicates whether the roll is automatic or manual.
Note CTC implements a roll mode at the circuit level. TL1 implements a roll mode at the
cross-connect level. If a single roll is performed, CTC and TL1 behave the same. If a dual
roll is performed, the roll mode specified in CTC might be different than the roll mode
retrieved in TL1. For example, if you select Automatic, CTC coordinates the two rolls to
minimize possible traffic hits by using the Manual mode behind the scenes. When both rolls
have a good signal, CTC signals the nodes to complete the roll.
–
Automatic—When a valid signal is received on the new path, CTC completes the roll on the
node automatically. One-way source rolls are always automatic.
–
Manual—You must complete a manual roll after a valid signal is received. One-way destination
rolls are always manual.
• Roll Path—The fixed point of the roll object.

• Roll From Path— The old path that is being rerouted.
• Roll To Path—The new path where the Roll From Path is rerouted.
• Complete—Completes a manual roll after a valid signal is received. You can do this when a manual
roll is in a ROLL_PENDING status and you have not yet completed the roll or have not cancelled
its sibling roll.
• Force Valid Signal—Forces a roll onto the Roll To Circuit destination without a valid signal.
Note If you choose Force Valid Signal, traffic on the circuit that is involved in the roll will be
dropped when the roll is completed.
• Finish—Completes the circuit processing of both manual and automatic rolls and changes the circuit
status from ROLL_PENDING to DISCOVERED. After a roll, the Finish button also removes any
cross-connects that are no longer used from the Roll From Circuit field.
• Cancel—Cancels the roll process.
Note When the roll mode is Manual, cancelling a roll is only allowed before you click the
Complete button. When the roll mode is Auto, cancelling a roll is only allowed before a good
signal is detected by the node or before clicking the Force Valid Signal button.
11.19.2 Roll Status
Table 11-20 lists the roll statuses.
Table 11-20 Roll Statuses
State Description
ROLL_PENDING Roll is awaiting completion or cancellation.
ROLL_COMPLETED Roll is complete. Click the Finish button.
ROLL_CANCELLED Roll has been canceled.
TL1_ROLL A TL1 roll was initiated.
Note If a roll is created using TL1, a CTC user cannot complete or
cancel the roll. Also, if a roll is created using CTC, a TL1 user
cannot complete or cancel the roll. You must use the same
interface to complete or change a roll.
INCOMPLETE This state appears when the underlying circuit becomes incomplete. To
correct this state, you must fix the underlying circuit problem before the
roll state will change.
For example, a circuit traveling on Nodes A, B, and C can become
INCOMPLETE if Node B is rebooted. The cross-connect information
is lost on Node B during a reboot. The Roll State on Nodes A and C will
change to INCOMPLETE.

Note You can only reroute circuits in the DISCOVERED status. You cannot reroute circuits that are in the
ROLL_PENDING status.
11.19.3 Single and Dual Rolls
Circuits have an additional layer of roll types: single and dual. A single roll on a circuit is a roll on one
of its cross-connects. Use a single roll to:
• Change either the source or destination of a selected circuit (Figure 11-18 and Figure 11-19,
respectively).
• Roll a segment of the circuit onto another chosen circuit (Figure 11-20). This roll also results in a
new destination or a new source.
In Figure 11-18, you can select any available STS on Node 1 for a new source.
Figure 11-18 Single Source Roll
In Figure 11-19, you can select any available STS on Node 2 for a new destination.
Figure 11-19 Single Destination Roll
Figure 11-20 shows one circuit rolling onto another circuit at the destination. The new circuit has
cross-connects on Node 1, Node 3, and Node 4. CTC deletes the cross-connect on Node 2 after the roll.

Figure 11-21 Single Roll from One Circuit to Another Circuit (Source Changes)
Note Create a Roll To Circuit before rolling a circuit with the source on Node 3 and the destination on Node 4.
A dual roll involves two cross-connects. It allows you to reroute intermediate segments of a circuit, but
keep the original source and destination. If the new segments require new cross-connects, use the Bridge
and Roll wizard or create a new circuit and then perform a roll.
Caution Only single rolls can be performed using TL1. Dual rolls require the network-level view that only CTC
or CTM provide.
Dual rolls have several constraints:
• You must complete or cancel both cross-connects rolled in a dual roll. You cannot complete one roll
and cancel the other roll.
• When a Roll To circuit is involved in the dual roll, the first roll must roll onto the source of the
Roll To circuit and the second roll must roll onto the destination of the Roll To circuit.

When using the bridge and roll feature to reroute traffic using two circuits, the following constraints
apply:
• DCC must be enabled on the circuits involved in a roll before roll creation.
• A maximum of two rolls can exist between any two circuits.
• If two rolls are involved between two circuits, both rolls must be on the original circuit. The second
circuit should not carry live traffic. The two rolls loop from the second circuit back to the original
circuit. The roll mode of the two rolls must be identical (either automatic or manual).
• If a single roll exists on a circuit, you must roll the connection onto the source or the destination of
the second circuit and not an intermediate node in the circuit.

11.19.5 Protected Circuits
CTC allows you to roll the working or protect path regardless of which path is active. You can upgrade
an unprotected circuit to a fully protected circuit or downgrade a fully protected circuit to an unprotected
circuit with the exception of a path protection circuit. When using bridge and roll on path protection
circuits, you can roll the source or destination or both path selectors in a dual roll. However, you cannot
roll a single path selector.
11.20 Merged Circuits
A circuit merge combines a single selected circuit with one or more circuits. You can merge VT tunnels,
VAP circuits, VCAT members, CTC-created circuits, and TL1-created circuits. To merge circuits, you
choose a circuit in the CTC Circuits window and the circuits that you want to merge with the chosen
(master) circuit on the Merge tab in the Edit Circuits window. The Merge tab shows only the circuits that
are available for merging with the master circuit:
• Circuit cross-connects must create a single, contiguous path.
• Circuits types must be a compatible. For example, you can combine an STS circuit with a VAP
circuit to create a longer VAP circuit, but you cannot combine a VT circuit with an STS circuit.
• Circuit directions must be compatible. You can merge a one-way and a two-way circuit, but not two
one-way circuits in opposing directions.
• Circuit sizes must be identical.
• VLAN assignments must be identical.
• Circuit end points must send or receive the same framing format.
• The merged circuits must become a DISCOVERED circuit.
If all connections from the master circuit and all connections from the merged circuits align to form one
complete circuit, the merge is successful. If all connections from the master circuit and some, but not
all, connections from the other circuits align to form a single complete circuit, CTC notifies you and
gives you the chance to cancel the merge process. If you choose to continue, the aligned connections
merge successfully into the master circuit, and the unaligned connections remain in the original circuits.
All connections in the completed master circuit use the original master circuit name.
All connections from the master circuit and at least one connection from the other selected circuits must
be used in the resulting circuit for the merge to succeed. If a merge fails, the master circuit and all other
circuits remain unchanged. When the circuit merge completes successfully, the resulting circuit retains
the name of the master circuit.
You can also merge orderwire and user data channel (UDC) overhead circuits, which use the overhead
bytes instead of frame payload to transfer data. To merge overhead circuits, you choose the overhead
circuits on the network view Provisioning > Overhead Circuits window. You can only merge orderwire
and UDC circuits.

11.21 Reconfigured Circuits
11.21 Reconfigured Circuits
You can reconfigure multiple circuits, which is typically necessary when a large number of circuits are
in the PARTIAL status. When reconfiguring multiple circuits, the selected circuits can be any
combination of DISCOVERED, PARTIAL, DISCOVERED_TL1, or PARTIAL_TL1 circuits. You can
reconfigure tunnels, VAP circuits, VLAN-assigned circuits, VCAT circuits, CTC-created circuits, and
TL1-created circuits. The Reconfigure command maintains the names of the original cross-connects.
Use the CTC Tools > Circuits > Reconfigure Circuits menu item to reconfigure selected circuits. During
reconfiguration, CTC reassembles all connections of the selected circuits and VCAT members into
circuits based on path size, direction, and alignment. Some circuits might merge and others might split
into multiple circuits. If the resulting circuit is a valid circuit, it appears as a DISCOVERED circuit.
Otherwise, the circuit appears as a PARTIAL or PARTIAL_TL1 circuit.
Note If CTC cannot reconfigure all members in a VCAT circuit, the reconfigure operation fails for the entire
VCAT circuit and it remains in the PARTIAL or PARTIAL_TL1 status. If CTC does reconfigure all
members in a VCAT circuit, the VCAT circuit may still remain in the PARTIAL or PARTIAL_TL1
status. This occurs if the ports defined in the VCAT termination do not match the source/drop ports of
the member circuits or if one or two VCAT terminations are missing.
Note PARTIAL tunnel and PARTIAL VLAN-capable circuits do not split into multiple circuits during
reconfiguration.
11.22 VLAN Management
In Software Release 4.6 and later, VLANs are populated within topologies to limit broadcasts to each
topology rather than to the entire network. Using the Manage VLANs command in the Tools menu, you
can view a list of topology hosts and provisioned VLANs. You create VLANs during circuit creation or
with the Manage VLANs command. When creating a VLAN, you must identify the topology host (node)
where the VLAN will be provisioned. The Manage VLANs command also allows you to delete existing
VLANs.
11.23 Server Trails
A server trail is a non-DCC (logical or virtual) link across a third-party network that connects two CTC
network domains. A server trail allows A-Z circuit provisioning when no DCC is available. You can
create server trails between two distant optical or EC-1 ports. The end ports on a server trail can be
different types (for example, an OC-3 port can be linked to an OC-12 port). Server trails are not allowed
on DCC-enabled ports.
The server trail link is bidirectional and can be VT1.5, VT2, STS1, STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-12c, STS-48c,
or STS-192c; you cannot change an existing server trail to another size. It must be deleted and recreated.
A circuit provisioned over a server trail must match the type and size of the server trail it uses. For
example, an STS-3c server trail can carry only STS-3c circuits and not three STS-1 circuits.
Note There is no OSPF or any other management information exchange between NEs over a server trail.

11.23.1 Server Trail Protection Types
11.23.1 Server Trail Protection Types
The server trail protection type determines the protection type for any circuits that traverse it. A server
trail link can be one of the following protection types:
• Preemptible—PCA circuits will use server trails with the Preemptible attribute.
• Unprotected—In Unprotected Server Trail, CTC assumes that the circuits going out from that
specific port will not be protected by provider network and will look for a secondary path from
source to destination if you are creating a protected circuit.
• Fully Protected—In Fully Protected Server Trail, CTC assumes that the circuits going out from that
specific port will be protected by provider network and will not look for a secondary path from
source to destination.
Note Only path protection is available on server trails. BLSR protection is not available on server trail.
11.23.2 VCAT Circuit Routing over Server Trails
An STS-3c server trail can be used to route STS-3c circuits and an STS-1 server trail can be used to route
STS-1 circuits. Similarly, a VT1.5 server trail can be used to route VT1.5 circuits and an STS-12c server
trail can only be used for STS-12c circuits.
For example, to route a STS-3c-2v circuit over a server trail, you must enable split fiber routing and
create two STS-3c server trails and route each member manually or automatically over each server trail.
To route a STS-12c-2v circuit over a server trail, you must enable split fiber routing and create two
STS-12c server trails and route each member manually or automatically over each server trail.
Note Server trails can only be created between any two optical ports or EC-1 ports.
VCAT circusits can be created over server trails in the following ways:
• Manual routing
• Automatic routing
–
Diverse routing: This method enables VCAT circuit routing over diverse server trail links.
Note When creating circuits or VCATs, you can choose a server trail link during manual circuit routing. CTC
may also route circuits over server trail links during automatic routing. VCAT common-fiber automatic
routing is not supported.
For a detailed procedure on how to route a VCAT circuit over a server trail, refer “Chapter 6, Create
Circuits and VT Tunnels, Section NTP-A264, Create an Automatically Routed VCAT Circuit and
Section NTP-A265, Create a Manually Routed VCAT Circuit” in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure
Guide.

11.23.2.1 Shared Resource Link Group
The Shared Resource Link Group (SRLG) attribute can be assigned to a server trail link using a
commonly shared resource such as port, fiber or span. For example, if two server trail links are routed
over the same fiber, an SRLG attribute can be assigned to these links. SRLG is used by Cisco Transport
Manager (CTM) to specify link diversity. If you create multiple server trails from one port, you can
assign the same SRLG value to all the links to indicate that they originate from the same port.

SONET Topologies and Upgrades
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This chapter explains Cisco ONS 15454 SONET topologies and upgrades. To provision topologies, refer

12.2 Bidirectional Line Switched Rings
12.2 Bidirectional Line Switched Rings
The ONS 15454 can support five concurrent bidirectional line switch rings (BLSRs) in one of the
following configurations:
• Five two-fiber BLSRs
• Four two-fiber and one four-fiber BLSR
Each BLSR can have up to 32 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.
Note For best performance, BLSRs should have one LAN connection for every ten nodes in the BLSR.
12.2.1 Two-Fiber BLSRs
In two-fiber BLSRs, each fiber is divided into working and protect bandwidths. For example, in an
OC-48 BLSR (Figure 12-1), STSs 1 to 24 carry the working traffic, and STSs 25 to 48 are reserved for
protection. Working traffic (STSs 1 to 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 user requirements, traffic patterns, and
distance. For example, in Figure 12-1, circuits going from Node 0 to Node 1 typically travel on Fiber 1,
unless that fiber is full, in which case circuits are routed on Fiber 2 through Node 3 and Node 2. Traffic
from Node 0 to Node 2 (or Node 1 to Node 3) can be routed on either fiber, depending on circuit
provisioning requirements and traffic loads.
Path protection with LDCC and SDCC 265
1. Total SDCC usage must be equal to or less than 84 SDCCs.
2. See the “12.3 Path Protection” section on page 12-14.
3. Total LDCC usage must be equal to or less than 28 LDCCs.
4. See the “12.3 Path Protection” section on page 12-14.
5. Total LDCC and SDCC usage must be equal to or less than 84. When LDCC is provisioned, an
SDCC termination is allowed on the same port, but is not recommended. Using SDCC and LDCC on
the same port is only needed during a software upgrade if the other end of the link does not support
LDCC. You can provision SDCCs and LDCCs on different ports in the same node.

12.2.1 Two-Fiber BLSRs
Figure 12-1 Four-Node, Two-Fiber BLSR
The SONET K1, K2, and K3 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 a reverse direction on the protect bandwidth until it
reaches its destination node. At that point, traffic is switched back to the working bandwidth.
Figure 12-2 shows a traffic pattern sample on a four-node, two-fiber BLSR.

12.2.1 Two-Fiber BLSRs
Figure 12-2 Four-Node, Two-Fiber BLSR Traffic Pattern Sample
Figure 12-3 shows how traffic is rerouted following a line break between Node 0 and Node 3.
• All circuits originating on Node 0 that carried traffic to Node 2 on Fiber 2 are switched to the protect
bandwidth of Fiber 1. For example, a circuit carrying traffic 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 normally carried traffic to Node 0 on Fiber 1 are switched to the
protect bandwidth of Fiber 2 at Node 3. For example, a circuit carrying traffic 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.

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 12-4. To
implement a four-fiber BLSR, you must install four OC-48, OC-48 AS, or OC-192 cards at each BLSR
node.

12.2.3 BLSR Bandwidth

12.2.3 BLSR Bandwidth
BLSR nodes can terminate traffic coming 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 path protection
configuration operating at the same OC-N rate. Table 12-2 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 12-3 shows the bidirectional bandwidth capacities of four-fiber BLSRs.

12.2.4 BLSR Application Example
Figure 12-7 shows an example of BLSR bandwidth reuse. The same STS carries three different traffic
sets simultaneously on different spans around the ring: one set from Node 3 to Node 1, another set from
Node 1 to Node 2, and another set from Node 2 to Node 3.

12.2.4 BLSR Application Example
Figure 12-8 shows a two-fiber BLSR implementation example with five nodes. 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.

12.2.5 BLSR Fiber Connections
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 slot to the left. Plug fiber connected to an east
port at one node into the west port on an adjacent node. Figure 12-11 shows fiber connections for a
two-fiber BLSR with trunk cards in Slot 5 (west) and Slot 12 (east). Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide for fiber connection procedures.
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 display an SF LED when Tx and Rx
connections are mismatched.
Figure 12-11 Connecting Fiber to a Four-Node, Two-Fiber BLSR
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 does not function if working and protect cards
are interconnected. Figure 12-12 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.

12.3 Path Protection
Figure 12-12 Connecting Fiber to a Four-Node, Four-Fiber BLSR
12.3 Path Protection
Path Protection Configurations(PPC) 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 with the
working traffic path, the receiving node switches to the path coming from the opposite direction.
CTC automates ring configuration. path protection 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 path protection as the default.
A path protection circuit requires two DCC-provisioned optical spans per node. Path protection circuits
can be created across these spans until their bandwidth is consumed.
Note If a path protection circuit is created manually by TL1, data communications channels (DCCs) are not
needed; therefore, path protection circuits are limited by the cross-connection bandwidth or the span
bandwidth, but not by the number of DCCs.
The span bandwidth consumed by a path protection circuit is two times the circuit bandwidth, because
the circuit is duplicated. The cross-connection bandwidth consumed by a path protection circuit is three
times the circuit bandwidth at the source and destination nodes only. The cross-connection bandwidth
consumed by an intermediate node has a factor of one.

12.3 Path Protection
The path protection circuit limit is the sum of the optical bandwidth containing 84 section data
communication channels (SDCCs) or 28 line data communication channels (LDCCs), divided by two if
you are using redundant TCC2/TCC2P cards. The spans can be of any bandwidth from OC-3 to OC-192.
The circuits can be of any size from VT1.5 to 192c.
Figure 12-13 shows a basic four-node path protection 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.
Figure 12-13 Basic Four-Node Path Protection
If a fiber break occurs (Figure 12-14), 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, path protection configurations are best
suited for networks where traffic concentrates at one or two locations and is not widely distributed. Path
protection capacity is equal to its bit rate. Services can originate and terminate on the same path
protection, or they can be passed to an adjacent access or interoffice ring for transport to the
service-terminating location.

12.4 Dual-Ring Interconnect
12.4 Dual-Ring Interconnect
Dual-ring interconnect (DRI) topologies provide an extra level of path protection for circuits on
interconnected rings. DRI allows users to interconnect BLSRs, path protection configurations, or a path
protection with a BLSR, with additional protection provided at the transition nodes. In a DRI topology,
ring interconnections occur at two or four nodes.
The drop-and-continue DRI method is used for all ONS 15454 DRIs. In drop-and-continue DRI, a
primary node drops the traffic to the connected ring and routes traffic to a secondary node within the
same ring. The secondary node also routes the traffic to the connected ring; that is, the traffic is dropped
at two different interconnection nodes to eliminate single points of failure. To route circuits on DRI, you
must choose the Dual Ring Interconnect option during circuit provisioning. Dual transmit is not
supported.
Two DRI topologies can be implemented on the ONS 15454:
• A traditional DRI requires two pairs of nodes to interconnect two networks. Each pair of
user-defined primary and secondary nodes drops traffic over a pair of interconnection links to the
other network.
• An integrated DRI requires one pair of nodes to interconnect two networks. The two interconnected
nodes replace the interconnection ring.
For DRI topologies, a hold-off timer sets the amount of time before a selector switch occurs. It reduces
the likelihood of multiple switches, such as:
• Both a service selector and a path selector
• Both a line switch and a path switch of a service selector
For example, if a path protection DRI service selector switch does not restore traffic, then the path
selector switches after the hold-off time. The path protection DRI hold-off timer default is 100 ms. You
can change this setting in the Path Protection Selectors tab of the Edit Circuits window. For BLSR DRI,
if line switching does not restore traffic, then the service selector switches. The hold-off time delays the
recovery provided by the service selector. The BLSR DRI default hold-off time is 100 ms, but it can be
changed.
12.4.1 BLSR DRI
Unlike BLSR automatic protection switching (APS) protocol, BLSR-DRI is a path-level protection
protocol at the circuit level. Drop-and-continue BLSR-DRI requires a service selector in the primary
node for each circuit routing to the other ring. Service selectors monitor signal conditions from dual feed
sources and select the one that has the best signal quality. Same-side routing drops the traffic at primary
nodes set up on the same side of the connected rings, and opposite-side routing drops the traffic at
primary nodes set up on the opposite sides of the connected rings. For BLSR-DRI, primary and
secondary nodes cannot be the circuit source or destination.
Note A DRI circuit cannot be created if an intermediate node exists on the interconnecting link. However, an
intermediate node can be added on the interconnecting link after the DRI circuit is created.
DRI protection circuits act as protection channel access (PCA) circuits. In CTC, you set up DRI
protection circuits by selecting the PCA option when setting up primary and secondary nodes during DRI
circuit creation.

(Ring 1) and Node 8 (Ring 2). The primary nodes (Nodes 4 and 9) are on the same side, and the
secondary nodes (Nodes 3 and 8) provide an alternative route. In Ring 1, traffic at Node 4 is dropped (to
Node 9) and continued (to Node 3). Similarly, at Node 9, traffic is dropped (to Node 4) and continued
(to Node 8).

12.7 Linear ADM Configurations
After subtending two BLSRs, you can route circuits from nodes in one ring to nodes in the second ring.
For example, in Figure 12-29 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.
12.7 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, point-to-point ADMs
(two-node configurations) and linear ADMs (three-node configurations) 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 12-30 shows three ONS 15454 nodes in a linear ADM configuration. Working traffic flows from
Slot 5/Node 1 to Slot 5/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.
Figure 12-30 Linear (Point-to-Point) ADM Configuration
12.8 Path-Protected Mesh Networks
In addition to single BLSRs, path protection configurations, 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 path protection 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 12-31 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.

12.9 Four-Shelf Node Configurations
You can link multiple ONS 15454s using their OC-N cards (that is, create a fiber-optic bus) to
accommodate more access traffic than a single ONS 15454 can support. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide. For example, 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 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 grouped in one facility to aggregate more local traffic.
Figure 12-33 on page 12-34 shows a four-shelf node setup. Each shelf assembly is recognized as a
separate node in the ONS 15454 software interface and traffic is mapped using CTC cross-connect
options. In Figure 12-33, 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-shelf node example presented here is one of many ways to set up a multiple-node configuration.

12.11 OC-N Speed Upgrades
A span is the optical fiber connection between two ONS 15454 nodes. In a span (optical speed) upgrade,
the transmission rate of a span is upgraded from a lower to a higher OC-N signal but all other span
configuration attributes remain unchanged. With multiple nodes, a span upgrade is a coordinated series
of upgrades on all nodes in the ring or protection group. You can perform in-service span upgrades for
the following ONS 15454 cards:
• Single-port OC-12 to OC-48
• Single-port OC-12 to OC-192
• Single-port OC-12 to four-port OC-12
• Single-port OC-12 to MRC-12
• Four-port OC-12 to MRC-2.5G-4
• OC-48 to OC-192
• MRC-12 to OC-192 or OC192-XFP
• MRC-2.5G-4 to OC-192 or OC192-XFP
• OC-48 to OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach or OC192/STM64 Any Reach
Note Only Software Release 8.5.3 or higher supports span upgrades on MRC-12 and MRC-2.5G-4
cards to OC-192 or OC192-XFP. To perform this span upgrade the card’s SFP must be in PPM
Slot 1 only.
You can also perform in-service card upgrades for the following ONS 15454 cards:
• Four-port OC-3 to eight-port OC-3

12.11 OC-N Speed Upgrades
Note Replacing cards that are the same speed are not considered span upgrades. For example replacing a
four-port OC-3 with an eight-port OC-3 card or replacing a single-port OC-12 with a four-port OC-12
card.
To perform a span upgrade, the higher-rate OC-N card must replace the lower-rate card in the same slot.
If the upgrade is conducted on spans residing in a BLSR, all spans in the ring must be upgraded. The
protection configuration of the original lower-rate OC-N card (two-fiber BLSR, four-fiber BLSR, path
protection, and 1+1) is retained for the higher-rate OC-N card.
To perform a span upgrade on either the OC192-XFP or MRC-12 card with an SFP/XFP (known as
pluggable port modules, PPMs, in CTC), the higher-rate PPM must replace the lower-rate PPM in the
same slot. If you are using a multi-rate PPM, you do not need to physically replace the PPM but can
provision the PPM for a different line rate. All spans in the network must be upgraded. The 1+1
protection configuration of the original lower-rate PPM is retained for the higher-rate PPM.
When performing span upgrades on a large number of nodes, we recommend that you upgrade all spans
in a ring consecutively and in the same maintenance window. Until all spans are upgraded, mismatched
card types or PPM types are present.
We recommend using the Span Upgrade Wizard to perform span upgrades. Although you can also use
the manual span upgrade procedures, the manual procedures are mainly provided as error recovery for
the wizard. The Span Upgrade Wizard and the Manual Span Upgrade procedures require at least two
technicians (one at each end of the span) who can communicate with each other during the upgrade.
Upgrading a span is non-service affecting and causes no more than three switches, each of which is less
than 50 ms in duration.

Chapter 12 SONET Topologies and Upgrades
12.11.1 Span Upgrade Wizard
Note Span upgrades do not upgrade SONET topologies (for example, a 1+1 group to a two-fiber BLSR). Refer
to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide for topology upgrade procedures.
12.11.1 Span Upgrade Wizard
The Span Upgrade Wizard automates all steps in the manual span upgrade procedure (BLSR, path
protection, and 1+1). The wizard can upgrade both lines on one side of a four-fiber BLSR or both lines
of a 1+1 group; the wizard upgrades path protection configurations and two-fiber BLSRs one line at a
time. The Span Upgrade Wizard requires that all working spans have DCC enabled.
The Span Upgrade Wizard provides no way to back out of an upgrade. In the case of an error, you must
exit the wizard and initiate the manual procedure to either continue with the upgrade or back out of it.
To continue with the manual procedure, examine the standing conditions and alarms to identify the stage
in which the wizard failure occurred.
12.11.2 Manual Span Upgrades
Manual span upgrades are mainly provided as error recovery for the Span Upgrade Wizard, but they can
be used to perform span upgrades. Downgrading can be performed to back out of a span upgrade. The
procedure for downgrading is the same as upgrading except that you choose a lower-rate card type. You
cannot downgrade if circuits exist on the STSs that will be removed (the higher STSs).
Procedures for manual span upgrades can be found in the “Upgrade Cards and Spans” chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide. Five manual span upgrade options are available:
• Upgrade on a two-fiber BLSR
• Upgrade on a four-fiber BLSR
• Upgrade on a path protection configuration
• Upgrade on a 1+1 protection group
• Upgrade on an unprotected span
12.12 In-Service Topology Upgrades
Topology upgrades can be performed in-service to convert a live network to a different topology. An
in-service topology upgrade is potentially service-affecting, and generally allows a traffic hit of 50 ms
or less. Traffic might not be protected during the upgrade. The following in-service topology upgrades
are supported:
• Unprotected point-to-point or linear ADM to path protection
• Point-to-point or linear ADM to two-fiber BLSR
• Path protection to two-fiber BLSR
• Two-fiber to four-fiber BLSR
• Node addition or removal from an existing topology
You can perform in-service topology upgrades irrespective of the service state of the involved
cross-connects or circuits; however, a circuit must have a DISCOVERED status.

78-18106-01
Chapter 12 SONET Topologies and Upgrades
12.12.1 Unprotected Point-to-Point or Linear ADM to Path Protection
Circuit types supported for in-service topology upgrades are:
• STS, VT, and VT tunnels
• Virtual concatenated circuits (VCAT)
• Unidirectional and bidirectional
• Automatically routed and manually routed
• CTC-created and TL1-created
• Ethernet (unstitched)
• Multiple source and destination (both sources should be on one node and both drops on one node)
You cannot upgrade stitched Ethernet circuits during topology conversions. For in-service topology
upgrade procedures, refer to the “Convert Network Configurations” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide. For procedures to add or remove a node, refer to the “Add and Remove Nodes” chapter
of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Note A database restore on all nodes in a topology returns converted circuits to their original topology.
Note Open-ended path protection and DRI configurations do not support in-service topology upgrades.
12.12.1 Unprotected Point-to-Point or Linear ADM to Path Protection
CTC provides a topology conversion wizard for converting an unprotected point-to-point or linear ADM
topology to path protection. This conversion occurs at the circuit level. CTC calculates the additional
path protection circuit route automatically or you can do it manually. When routing the path protection
circuit, you can provision the USPR as go-and-return or unidirectional.
When performing an in-service topology upgrade on a configuration with VCAT circuits, CTC allows
you to select member circuits to upgrade individually. When upgrading VT tunnels, CTC does not
convert the VT tunnel to path protection, but instead creates a secondary tunnel for the alternate path.
The result is two unprotected VT tunnels using alternate paths.
To convert from point-to-point or linear ADM to a path protection, the topology requires an additional
circuit route to complete the ring. When the route is established, CTC creates circuit connections on any
intermediate nodes and modifies existing circuit connections on the original circuit path. The number
and position of network spans in the topology remains unchanged during and after the conversion.
Figure 12-35 shows an unprotected point-to-point ADM configuration converted to a path protection. An
additional circuit routes through Node 3 to complete the path protection.

Figure 12-35 Unprotected Point-to-Point ADM to Path Protection Conversion
12.12.2 Point-to-Point or Linear ADM to Two-Fiber BLSR
A 1+1 point-to-point or linear ADM to a two-fiber BLSR conversion is manual. You must remove the
protect fibers from all nodes in the linear ADM and route them from the end node to the protect port on
the other end node. In addition, you must delete the circuit paths that are located in the bandwidth that
will become the protection portion of the two-fiber BLSR (for example, circuits in STS 25 or higher on
an OC-48 BLSR) and recreate them in the appropriate bandwidth. Finally, you must provision the nodes
as BLSR nodes.
To complete a conversion from an unprotected point-to-point or linear ADM to a two-fiber BLSR, use
the CTC Convert Unprotected/Path Protection to BLSR wizard from the Tools > Topology Upgrade
menu.
12.12.3 Path Protection to Two-Fiber BLSR
CTC provides a topology conversion wizard to convert a path protection to a two-fiber BLSR. An
upgrade from a path protection to a two-fiber BLSR changes path protection to line protection. A path
protection can have a maximum of 16 nodes before conversion. Circuits paths must occupy the same time
slots around the ring. Only the primary path through the path protection is needed; the topology
conversion wizard removes the alternate path protection path during the conversion. Because circuit
paths can begin and end outside of the topology, the conversion might create line-protected segments
within path protection paths of circuits outside the scope of the ring. The physical arrangement of the
ring nodes and spans remains the same after the conversion.

12.12.4 Two-Fiber BLSR to Four-Fiber BLSR
CTC provides a wizard to convert two-fiber OC-48 or OC-192 BLSRs to four-fiber BLSRs. To convert
the BLSR, you must install two OC-48 or OC-192 cards at each two-fiber BLSR node, then log into CTC
and convert 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.
12.12.5 Add or Remove a Node from a Topology
You can add or remove a node from a linear ADM, BLSR, or path protection configuration. Adding or
removing nodes from BLSRs is potentially service affecting; however, adding and removing nodes from
an existing 1+1 linear ADM or path protection configuration does not disrupt traffic. CTC provides a
wizard for adding a node to a point-to-point or 1+1 linear ADM. This wizard is used when adding a node
between two other nodes.

Management Network Connectivity
This chapter provides an overview of ONS 15454 data communications network (DCN) connectivity.
Cisco Optical Networking System (ONS) network communication is based on IP, including
communication between Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) computers and ONS 15454 nodes, and
communication among networked ONS 15454 nodes. The chapter provides scenarios showing Cisco
ONS 15454 nodes in common IP network configurations as well as information about provisionable
patchcords, the IP routing table, external firewalls, and open gateway network element (GNE) networks.
Although ONS 15454 DCN communication is based on IP, ONS 15454 nodes can be networked to
equipment that is based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocol suites. This chapter also
describes the ONS 15454 OSI implementation and provides scenarios that show how the ONS 15454 can
be networked within a mixed IP and OSI environment.
Note This chapter does not provide a comprehensive explanation of IP networking concepts and procedures,
nor does it provide IP addressing examples to meet all networked scenarios. For ONS 15454 networking
setup instructions, refer to the “Turn Up a Node” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Chapter topics include:
• 13.1 IP Networking Overview, page 13-1
• 13.2 IP Addressing Scenarios, page 13-2
• 13.3 Routing Table, page 13-24
• 13.4 External Firewalls, page 13-25

• 13.7 IPv6 Network Compatibility, page 13-62
• 13.8 FTP Support for ENE Database Backup, page 13-62
Note To connect ONS 15454s to an IP network, you must work with a LAN administrator or other individual
at your site who has IP networking training and experience.
13.1 IP Networking Overview
ONS 15454s can be connected in many different ways within an IP environment:

Chapter 13 Management Network Connectivity
13.2 IP Addressing Scenarios
• They can be connected to LANs through direct connections or a router.
• IP subnetting can create multiple logical ONS 15454 networks within a single Class A, B, or C IP
network. If you do not subnet, you will only be able to use one network from your Class A, B, or C
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.
• Static routes can be created to enable connections among multiple CTC sessions with ONS 15454s
that reside on the same subnet.
• ONS 15454s can be connected to Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) networks so that ONS 15454
network information is automatically communicated across multiple LANs and WANs.
• The ONS 15454 SOCKS (network proxy protocol) proxy server can control the visibility and
accessibility between CTC computers and ONS 15454 element nodes.
13.2 IP Addressing Scenarios
ONS 15454 IP addressing generally has eight common scenarios or configurations. Use the scenarios as
building blocks for more complex network configurations. Table 13-1 provides a general list of items to
check when setting up ONS 15454 nodes in IP networks.
The TCC2P card secure mode option allows two IP addresses to be provisioned for the node: one for the
backplane LAN port and one for the TCC2P LAN (TCP/IP) port. Secure mode IP addressing examples
are provided in the “13.2.9 IP Scenario 9: IP Addressing with Secure Mode Enabled” section on
page 13-20. IP addresses shown in the other scenarios assume that secure mode is not enabled. If secure
mode is enabled, the IP addresses shown in the examples apply to the backplane LAN port. See the
“13.2.9 IP Scenario 9: IP Addressing with Secure Mode Enabled” section on page 13-20 for information
about secure mode, repeater (single IP address) mode, and configuration locks.

Item What to Check
Link integrity Verify that link integrity exists between:
• CTC computer and network hub/switch
• ONS 15454s (backplane wire-wrap pins or RJ-45 port) and network
hub/switch
• Router ports and hub/switch ports

13.2.1 IP Scenario 1: CTC and ONS 15454s on Same Subnet
13.2.1 IP Scenario 1: CTC and ONS 15454s on Same Subnet
IP Scenario 1 shows a basic ONS 15454 LAN configuration (Figure 13-1). 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.
Figure 13-1 IP Scenario 1: CTC and ONS 15454s on Same Subnet
13.2.2 IP Scenario 2: CTC and ONS 15454 Nodes Connected to a Router
In IP Scenario 2 the CTC computer resides on a subnet (192.168.1.0) and attaches to LAN A
(Figure 13-2). 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 Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), the default gateway and IP address are assigned automatically. In the
Figure 13-2 example, a DHCP server is not available.

Figure 13-2 IP Scenario 2: CTC and ONS 15454 Nodes Connected to a Router
13.2.3 IP Scenario 3: Using Proxy ARP to Enable an ONS 15454 Gateway
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.

Chapter 13 Management Network Connectivity
13.2.3 IP Scenario 3: Using Proxy ARP to Enable an ONS 15454 Gateway
IP Scenario 3 is similar to IP Scenario 1, but only one ONS 15454 (1) connects to the LAN (Figure 13-3).
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 15454 2 and 3.
Note This scenario assumes all CTC connections are to Node 1. If you connect a laptop to either ONS 15454
2 or 3, network partitioning occurs; neither the laptop nor the CTC computer can see all nodes. If you
want laptops to connect directly to end network elements, you must create static routes (see “13.2.5 IP
Scenario 5: Using Static Routes to Connect to LANs” section on page 13-7) or enable the ONS 15454
SOCKS proxy server (see “13.2.7 IP Scenario 7: Provisioning the ONS 15454 SOCKS Proxy Server”
section on page 13-12).
Figure 13-3 IP Scenario 3: Using Proxy ARP
You can also use proxy ARP to communicate with hosts attached to the craft Ethernet ports of
DCC-connected nodes (Figure 13-4). The node with an attached host must have a static route to the host.
Static routes are propagated to all DCC peers using OSPF. The existing proxy ARP node is the gateway
for additional hosts. Each node examines its routing table for routes to hosts that are not connected to
the DCC network but are within the subnet. The existing proxy server replies to ARP requests for these
additional hosts with the node MAC address. The existence of the host route in the routing table ensures
that the IP packets addressed to the additional hosts are routed properly. Other than establishing a static
route between a node and an additional host, no provisioning is necessary. The following restrictions
apply:
• Only one node acts as the proxy ARP server for any given additional host.
• A node cannot be the proxy ARP server for a host connected to its Ethernet port.

13.2.4 IP Scenario 4: Default Gateway on a CTC Computer
In Figure 13-4, Node 1 announces to Node 2 and 3 that it can reach the CTC host. Similarly, Node 3
announces that it can reach the ONS 152xx. The ONS 152xx is shown as an example; any network
element (NE) can be set up as an additional host.
Figure 13-4 IP Scenario 3: Using Proxy ARP with Static Routing
13.2.4 IP Scenario 4: Default Gateway on a CTC Computer
IP Scenario 4 is similar to IP Scenario 3, but Nodes 2 and 3 reside on different subnets, 192.168.2.0 and
192.168.3.0, respectively (Figure 13-5). Node 1 and the CTC computer are on subnet 192.168.1.0. Proxy
ARP is not used because the network includes different subnets. For the CTC computer to communicate
with Nodes 2 and 3, Node 1 is entered as the default gateway on the CTC computer.

Figure 13-5 IP Scenario 4: Default Gateway on a CTC Computer
13.2.5 IP 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. “13.2.6 IP
Scenario 6: Using OSPF” section on page 13-10 shows an OSPF example.)
• To enable multiple CTC sessions among ONS 15454s residing on the same subnet.
In Figure 13-6, 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 different subnets are connected through Node
1 to the router through interface B. Because Nodes 2 and 3 are on different subnets, proxy ARP does not
enable Node 1 as a gateway. To connect to the CTC computer on LAN A (subnet 192.168.1.0), you must
create a static route on Node 1. You must also manually add static routes between the CTC computer on
LAN A and Nodes 2 and 3 because these nodes are on different subnets.

13.2.5 IP Scenario 5: Using Static Routes to Connect to LANs
Figure 13-6 IP Scenario 5: Static Route With One CTC Computer Used as a Destination
The destination and subnet mask entries control access to the ONS 15454s:
• If a single CTC computer is connected to a 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 a 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 a router, enter a destination of 0.0.0.0 and a subnet mask of
0.0.0.0. Figure 13-7 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. You must manually add static routes between the CTC computers on LAN A, B, and
C and Nodes 2 and 3 because these nodes are on different subnets.

Chapter 13 Management Network Connectivity
13.2.6 IP Scenario 6: Using OSPF
13.2.6 IP Scenario 6: 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 recalculated when topology changes occur.
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 the need to manually enter static routes for ONS 15454 subnetworks. Figure 13-8 shows a
network enabled for OSPF. Figure 13-9 shows the same network without OSPF. Static routes must be
manually added to the router for CTC computers on LAN A to communicate with Nodes 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. Every OSPF network has one backbone area called “area 0.” All other
OSPF areas must connect to area 0.
When you enable an ONS 15454 OSPF topology for advertising to an OSPF network, you must assign
an OSPF area ID in decimal format to the ONS 15454 network. Coordinate the area ID number
assignment with your LAN administrator. All DCC-connected ONS 15454s should be assigned the same
OSPF area ID.

Figure 13-9 IP Scenario 6: OSPF Not Enabled
13.2.7 IP Scenario 7: Provisioning the ONS 15454 SOCKS Proxy Server
The ONS 15454 SOCKS proxy is an application that allows an ONS 15454 node to serve as an internal
gateway between a private enterprise network and the ONS 15454 network. (SOCKS is a standard proxy
protocol for IP-based applications developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force.) Access is allowed
from the private network to the ONS 15454 network, but access is denied from the ONS 15454 network
to the private network. For example, you can set up a network so that field technicians and network
operations center (NOC) personnel can both access the same ONS 15454s while preventing the field
technicians from accessing the NOC LAN. To do this, one ONS 15454 is provisioned as a gateway
network element (GNE) and the other ONS 15454s are provisioned as end network elements (ENEs).
The GNE ONS 15454 tunnels connections between CTC computers and ENE ONS 15454s, providing
management capability while preventing access for non-ONS 15454 management purposes.

Chapter 13 Management Network Connectivity
13.2.7 IP Scenario 7: Provisioning the ONS 15454 SOCKS Proxy Server
The ONS 15454 gateway setting performs the following tasks:
• Isolates DCC IP traffic from Ethernet (craft port) traffic and accepts packets based on filtering rules.
The filtering rules (see Table 13-3 on page 13-17 and Table 13-4 on page 13-18) depend on whether
the packet arrives at the ONS 15454 DCC or the TCC2/TCC2P Ethernet interface.
• Processes Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) and Network Time Protocol (NTP) requests.
ONS 15454 ENEs can derive time-of-day from an SNTP/NTP LAN server through the GNE
ONS 15454.
• Processes Simple Network Management Protocol version 1 (SNMPv1) traps. The GNE ONS 15454
receives SNMPv1 traps from the ENE ONS 15454s and forwards or relays the traps to SNMPv1 trap
destinations or ONS 15454 SNMP relay nodes.
The ONS 15454 SOCKS proxy server is provisioned using the Enable SOCKS proxy server on port
check box on the Provisioning > Network > General tab (Figure 13-10).
Figure 13-10 SOCKS Proxy Server Gateway Settings
If checked, the ONS 15454 serves as a proxy for connections between CTC clients and ONS 15454s that
are DCC-connected to the proxy ONS 15454. The CTC client establishes connections to DCC-connected
nodes through the proxy node. The CTC client can connect to nodes that it cannot directly reach from
the host on which it runs. If not selected, the node does not proxy for any CTC clients, although any
established proxy connections continue until the CTC client exits. In addition, you can set the SOCKS
proxy server as an ENE or a GNE:

Chapter 13 Management Network Connectivity
13.2.7 IP Scenario 7: Provisioning the ONS 15454 SOCKS Proxy Server
• External Network Element (ENE)—If set as an ENE, the ONS 15454 neither installs nor advertises
default or static routes. CTC computers can communicate with the ONS 15454 using the
TCC2/TCC2P craft port, but they cannot communicate directly with any other DCC-connected
ONS 15454.
In addition, firewall is enabled, which means that the node prevents IP traffic from being routed
between the DCC and the LAN port. The ONS 15454 can communicate with machines connected to
the LAN port or connected through the DCC. However, the DCC-connected machines cannot
communicate with the LAN-connected machines, and the LAN-connected machines cannot
communicate with the DCC-connected machines. A CTC client using the LAN to connect to the
firewall-enabled node can use the proxy capability to manage the DCC-connected nodes that would
otherwise be unreachable. A CTC client connected to a DCC-connected node can only manage other
DCC-connected nodes and the firewall itself.
• Gateway Network Element (GNE)—If set as a GNE, the CTC computer is visible to other
DCC-connected nodes and firewall is enabled.
• Proxy-only—If Proxy-only is selected, firewall is not enabled. CTC can communicate with any
other DCC-connected ONS 15454s.
Note If you launch CTC against a node through a Network Address Translation (NAT) or Port Address
Translation (PAT) router and that node does not have proxy enabled, your CTC session starts and initially
appears to be fine. However, CTC never receives alarm updates and disconnects and reconnects every
two minutes. If the proxy is accidentally disabled, it is still possible to enable the proxy during a
reconnect cycle and recover your ability to manage the node, even through a NAT/PAT firewall.
Note ENEs that belong to different private subnetworks do not need to have unique IP addresses. Two ENEs
that are connected to different GNEs can have the same IP address. However, ENEs that connect to the
same GNE must always have unique IP addresses.
Figure 13-11 shows an ONS 15454 SOCKS proxy server implementation. A GNE ONS 15454 is
connected to a central office LAN and to ENE ONS 15454s. The central office LAN is connected to a
NOC LAN, which has CTC computers. Both the NOC CTC computer and the craft technicians must be
able to access the ONS 15454 ENEs. However, the craft technicians must be prevented from accessing
or seeing the NOC or central office LANs.
In the example, the ONS 15454 GNE is assigned an IP address within the central office LAN and is
physically connected to the LAN through its LAN port. ONS 15454 ENEs are assigned IP addresses that
are outside the central office LAN and are given private network IP addresses. If the ONS 15454 ENEs
are collocated, the craft LAN ports could be connected to a hub. However, the hub should have no other
network connections.

13.2.8 IP Scenario 8: Dual GNEs on a Subnet
If you implement the SOCKS proxy server, note that all DCC-connected ONS 15454s on the same
Ethernet segment must have the same gateway setting. Mixed values produce unpredictable results, and
might leave some nodes unreachable through the shared Ethernet segment.
If nodes become unreachable, correct the setting with one of the following actions:
• Disconnect the craft computer from the unreachable ONS 15454. Connect to the ONS 15454
through another network ONS 15454 that has a DCC connection to the unreachable ONS 15454.
• Disconnect all DCCs to the node by disabling them on neighboring nodes. Connect a CTC computer
directly to the ONS 15454 and change its provisioning.
13.2.8 IP Scenario 8: Dual GNEs on a Subnet
The ONS 15454 provides GNE load balancing, which allows CTC to reach ENEs over multiple GNEs
without the ENEs being advertised over OSPF. This feature allows a network to quickly recover from
the loss of a GNE, even if the GNE is on a different subnet. If a GNE fails, all connections through that
GNE fail. CTC disconnects from the failed GNE and from all ENEs for which the GNE was a proxy, and
then reconnects through the remaining GNEs. GNE load balancing reduces the dependency on the launch
GNE and DCC bandwidth, both of which enhance CTC performance. Figure 13-14 shows a network with
dual GNEs on the same subnet.

Figure 13-15 IP Scenario 8: Dual GNEs on Different Subnets
13.2.9 IP Scenario 9: IP Addressing with Secure Mode Enabled
The TCC2 card and TCC2P card both default to nonsecure mode. In this mode, the front and back
Ethernet (LAN) ports share a single MAC address and IP address. TCC2P cards allow you to place a
node in secure mode, which prevents a front-access craft port user from accessing the LAN through the
backplane port. Secure mode can be locked, which prevents the mode from being altered. To place a node
in secure mode or to lock secure node, refer to the “Change Node Settings” chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
13.2.9.1 Secure Mode Behavior
Changing a TCC2P node from repeater mode to secure mode allows you to provision two IP addresses
for the ONS 15454 and causes the node to assign the ports different MAC addresses. In secure mode,
one IP address is provisioned for the ONS 15454 backplane LAN port, and the other IP address is
provisioned for the TCC2P Ethernet port. Both addresses reside on different subnets, providing an
additional layer of separation between the craft access port and the ONS 15454 LAN. If secure mode is

enabled, the IP addresses provisioned for both TCC2P TCP/IP LAN ports must follow general IP
addressing guidelines and must reside on different subnets from each other and the default router IP
address.
In secure mode, the IP address assigned to the front LAN (Ethernet) port becomes a private address,
while the backplane connects the node to an Operations Support System (OSS) through a central office
LAN or private enterprise network. A superuser can configure the node to hide or reveal the backplane's
LAN IP address in CTC, the routing table, or autonomous message reports.
In nonsecure mode, a node can be a GNE or ENE. Placing the node into secure mode automatically turns
on SOCKS proxy and defaults the node to GNE status. However, the node can be changed back to an
ENE. In nonsecure mode, an ENE’s SOCKS proxy can be disabled—effectively isolating the node
beyond the LAN firewall—but it cannot be disabled in secure mode.To change a node’s GNE or ENE
status and disable the SOCKS proxy, refer to the “Turn Up a Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide.
Caution Enabling secure mode causes the TCC2P card to reboot; a TCC2P card reboot affects traffic.
Note The secure mode option does not appear in CTC if TCC2 cards are installed. If one TCC2 and one
TCC2P card are installed in a node, secure mode will appear in CTC but it cannot be modified.
Note If both front and backplane access ports are disabled in an ENE and the node is isolated from DCC
communication (due to user provisioning or network faults), the front and backplane ports are
automatically reenabled.
Figure 13-16 on page 13-22 shows an example of secure-mode ONS 15454 nodes with front-access
Ethernet port addresses that reside on the same subnet.

13.2.9.2 Secure Node Locked and Unlocked Behavior
Secure mode can operate on a node in either locked or unlocked mode. By default, secure mode’s status
is unlocked; only a superuser can convert it to locked mode. Doing so permanently changes the hardware
configuration on the active and standby TCC2P cards as well as the chassis.
Locked mode must be used carefully because the cards and shelf retain their locked status even if
separated from each other. For example, if a node is in secure, locked mode and you perform a card pull
on its standby TCC2P, then insert that as the active card into another node, the secure, locked mode is
written to the new node’s chassis and standby TCC2P. If you perform a card pull on a secure, locked
node’s active and standby TCC2Ps and insert both of them into a chassis that previously was in unlocked
mode, the node becomes locked.
When it is secure and locked, a node’s configuration, Ethernet port status, its secure mode, and the
locked status cannot be changed by any network user— including a superuser. To have a secure node’s
lock removed, contact Cisco Technical Support to arrange a Return Material Authorization (RMA) for
the chassis and for the TCC2Ps. Refer to the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service
Request” section on page lii as needed.

13.3 Routing Table
ONS 15454 routing information appears on the Maintenance > Routing Table tab. The routing table
provides the following information:
• Destination—Displays the IP address of the destination network or host.
• Mask—Displays the subnet mask used to reach the destination host or network.
• Gateway—Displays the IP address of the gateway used to reach the destination network or host.
• Usage—Shows the number of times the listed route has been used.
• Interface—Shows the ONS 15454 interface used to access the destination. Values are:
–
motfcc0—The ONS 15454 Ethernet interface, that is, the RJ-45 jack on the TCC2/TCC2P and
the LAN 1 pins on the backplane
–
pdcc0—A DCC/OSC/GCC interface
–
lo0—A loopback interface
Table 13-5 shows sample routing table entries for an ONS 15454.
Entry 1 shows the following:
• Destination (0.0.0.0) is the default route entry. All undefined destination network or host entries on
this routing table are mapped to the default route entry.
• Mask (0.0.0.0) is always 0 for the default route.
• Gateway (172.20.214.1) is the default gateway address. All outbound traffic that cannot be found in
this routing table or is not on the node’s local subnet is sent to this gateway.
• Interface (motfcc0) indicates that the ONS 15454 Ethernet interface is used to reach the gateway.
Entry 2 shows the following:
• Destination (172.20.214.0) is the destination network IP address.
• Mask (255.255.255.0) is a 24-bit mask, meaning all addresses within the 172.20.214.0 subnet can
be destinations.
• Gateway (172.20.214.92) is the gateway address. All outbound traffic belonging to this network is
sent to this gateway.
• Interface (motfcc0) indicates that the ONS 15454 Ethernet interface is used to reach the gateway.
Entry 3 shows the following:
• Destination (172.20.214.92) is the destination host IP address.

13.5 Open GNE
The ONS 15454 can communicate with non-ONS nodes that do not support Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) vendor extensions or OSPF type 10 opaque link-state advertisements (LSA), both of which are
necessary for automatic node and link discovery. An open GNE configuration allows the DCC-based
network to function as an IP network for non-ONS nodes.
To configure an open GNE network, you can provision SDCC, LDCC, and GCC terminations to include
a far-end, non-ONS node using either the default IP address of 0.0.0.0 or a specified IP address. You
provision a far-end, non-ONS node by checking the Far End is Foreign check box during SDCC, LDCC,
and GCC creation. The default 0.0.0.0 IP address allows the far-end, non-ONS node to provide the IP
address; if you set an IP address other than 0.0.0.0, a link is established only if the far-end node identifies
itself with that IP address, providing an extra level of security.
By default, the SOCKS proxy server only allows connections to discovered ONS peers and the firewall
blocks all IP traffic between the DCC network and LAN. You can, however, provision proxy tunnels to
allow up to 12 additional destinations for SOCKS version 5 connections to non-ONS nodes. You can also
provision firewall tunnels to allow up to 12 additional destinations for direct IP connectivity between the
DCC network and the LAN. Proxy and firewall tunnels include both a source and destination subnet. The
connection must originate within the source subnet and terminate within the destination subnet before
either the SOCKS connection or IP packet flow is allowed.
To set up proxy and firewall subnets in CTC, use the Provisioning > Network > Proxy and Firewalls
subtabs. The availability of proxy and/or firewall tunnels depends on the network access settings of the
node:
• If the node is configured with the SOCKS proxy server enabled in GNE or ENE mode, you must set
up a proxy tunnel and/or a firewall tunnel.
• If the node is configured with the SOCKS proxy server enabled in proxy-only mode, you can set up
proxy tunnels. Firewall tunnels are not allowed.
• If the node is configured with the SOCKS proxy server disabled, neither proxy tunnels nor firewall
tunnels are allowed.
Figure 13-18 shows an example of a foreign node connected to the DCC network. Proxy and firewall
tunnels are useful in this example because the GNE would otherwise block IP access between the PC
and the foreign node.

ONS 15454 DCN communication is based on the TCP/IP protocol suite. However, ONS 15454s can also
be networked with equipment that uses the OSI protocol suite. While TCP/IP and OSI protocols are not

13.6.1 Point-to-Point Protocol
13.6.1 Point-to-Point Protocol
PPP is a data link (Layer 2) encapsulation protocol that transports datagrams over point-to-point links.
Although PPP was developed to transport IP traffic, it can carry other protocols including the OSI CLNP.
PPP components used in the transport of OSI include:
• High-level data link control (HDLC)—Performs the datagram encapsulation for transport across
point-to-point links.
• Link control protocol (LCP)—Establishes, configures, and tests the point-to-point connections.
CTC automatically enables IP over PPP whenever you create an SDCC or LDCC. The SDCC or LDCC
can be provisioned to support OSI over PPP.

13.6.2 Link Access Protocol on the D Channel
LAP-D is a data link protocol used in the OSI protocol stack. LAP-D is assigned when you provision an
ONS 15454 SDCC as OSI-only. Provisionable LAP-D parameters include:
• Transfer Service—One of the following transfer services must be assigned:
–
Acknowledged Information Transfer Service (AITS)—(Default) Does not exchange data until
a logical connection between two LAP-D users is established. This service provides reliable
data transfer, flow control, and error control mechanisms.
–
Unacknowledged Information Transfer Service (UITS)—Transfers frames containing user data
with no acknowledgement. The service does not guarantee that the data presented by one user
will be delivered to another user, nor does it inform the user if the delivery attempt fails. It does
not provide any flow control or error control mechanisms.
• Mode—LAP-D is set to either Network or User mode. This parameter sets the LAP-D frame
command/response (C/R) value, which indicates whether the frame is a command or a response.
• Maximum transmission unit (MTU)—The LAP-D N201 parameter sets the maximum number of
octets in a LAP-D information frame. The range is 512 to 1500 octets.
Note The MTU must be the same size for all NEs on the network.
• Transmission Timers—The following LAP-D timers can be provisioned:
–
The T200 timer sets the timeout period for initiating retries or declaring failures.
–
The T203 timer provisions the maximum time between frame exchanges, that is, the trigger for
transmission of the LAP-D “keep-alive” Receive Ready (RR) frames.
Fixed values are assigned to the following LAP-D parameters:
• Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI)—A fixed value of 0 is assigned.
• Service Access Point Identifier (SAPI)—A fixed value of 62 is assigned.
• N200 supervisory frame retransmissions—A fixed value of 3 is assigned.
13.6.3 OSI Connectionless Network Service
OSI connectionless network service is implemented by using the Connectionless Network Protocol
(CLNP) and Connectionless Network Service (CLNS). CLNP and CLNS are described in the ISO 8473
standard. CLNS provides network layer services to the transport layer through CLNP. CLNS does not
perform connection setup or termination because paths are determined independently for each packet
that is transmitted through a network. CLNS relies on transport layer protocols to perform error detection
and correction.
CLNP is an OSI network layer protocol that carries upper-layer data and error indications over
connectionless links. CLNP provides the interface between the CLNS and upper layers. CLNP performs
many of the same services for the transport layer as IP. The CLNP datagram is very similar to the IP
datagram. It provides mechanisms for fragmentation (data unit identification, fragment/total length, and
offset). Like IP, a checksum computed on the CLNP header verifies that the information used to process
the CLNP datagram is transmitted correctly, and a lifetime control mechanism (Time to Live) limits the
amount of time a datagram is allowed to remain in the system.

Chapter 13 Management Network Connectivity
13.6.3 OSI Connectionless Network Service
CLNP uses network service access points (NSAPs) to identify network devices. The CLNP source and
destination addresses are NSAPs. In addition, CLNP uses a network element title (NET) to identify a
network-entity in an end system (ES) or intermediate system (IS). NETs are allocated from the same
name space as NSAP addresses. Whether an address is an NSAP address or a NET depends on the
network selector value in the NSAP.
The ONS 15454 supports the ISO Data Country Code (ISO-DCC) NSAP address format as specified in
ISO 8348. The NSAP address is divided into an initial domain part (IDP) and a domain-specific part
(DSP). NSAP fields are shown in Table 13-8. NSAP field values are in hexadecimal format. All NSAPs
are editable. Shorter NSAPs can be used. However NSAPs for all NEs residing within the same OSI
network area usually have the same NSAP format.

13.6.4 OSI Routing
OSI architecture includes ESs and ISs. The OSI routing scheme includes:
• A set of routing protocols that allow ESs and ISs to collect and distribute the information necessary
to determine routes. Protocols include the ES-IS and IS-IS protocols. ES-IS routing establishes
connectivity and reach ability among ESs and ISs attached to the same (single) subnetwork.
• A routing information base (RIB) (see containing this information, from which routes between ESs
can be computed. The RIB consists of a table of entries that identify a destination (for example, an
NSAP), the subnetwork over which packets should be forwarded to reach that destination, and a
routing metric. The routing metric communicates characteristics of the route (such as delay
properties or expected error rate) that are used to evaluate the suitability of a route compared to
another route with different properties, for transporting a particular packet or class of packets.
• A routing algorithm, Shortest Path First (SPF), that uses information contained in the RIB to derive
routes between ESs.

Chapter 13 Management Network Connectivity
13.6.4 OSI Routing
In OSI networking, discovery is based on announcements. An ES uses the ES-IS protocol end system
hello (ESH) message to announce its presence to ISs and ESs connected to the same network. Any ES
or IS that is listening for ESHs gets a copy. ISs store the NSAP address and the corresponding
subnetwork address pair in routing tables. ESs might store the address, or they might wait to be informed
by ISs when they need such information.
An IS composes intermediate system hello (ISH) messages to announce its configuration information to
ISs and ESs that are connected to the same broadcast subnetwork. Like the ESHs, the ISH contains the
addressing information for the IS (the NET and the subnetwork point-of-attachment address [SNPA])
and a holding time. ISHs might also communicate a suggested ES configuration time recommending a
configuration timer to ESs.
The exchange of ISHs is called neighbor greeting or initialization. Each router learns about the other
routers with which they share direct connectivity. After the initialization, each router constructs a
link-state packet (LSP). The LSP contains a list of the names of the IS’s neighbors and the cost to reach
each of the neighbors. Routers then distribute the LSPs to all of the other routers. When all LSPs are
propagated to all routers, each router has a complete map of the network topology (in the form of LSPs).
Routers use the LSPs and the SPF algorithm to compute routes to every destination in the network.
OSI networks are divided into areas and domains. An area is a group of contiguous networks and
attached hosts that is designated as an area by a network administrator. A domain is a collection of
connected areas. Routing domains provide full connectivity to all ESs within them. Routing within the
same area is known as Level 1 routing. Routing between two areas is known as Level 2 routing. LSPs
that are exchanged within a Level 1 area are called L1 LSPs. LSPs that are exchanged across Level 2
areas are called L2 LSPs. Figure 13-22 shows an example of Level 1 and Level 2 routing.
Figure 13-22 Level 1 and Level 2 OSI Routing
When you provision an ONS 15454 for a network with NEs that use both the TCP/IP and OSI protocol
stacks, you will provision it as one of the following:
• End System—The ONS 15454 performs OSI ES functions and relies upon an IS for communication
with nodes that reside within its OSI area.
• Intermediate System Level 1—The ONS 15454 performs OSI IS functions. It communicates with IS
and ES nodes that reside within its OSI area. It depends upon an IS L1/L2 node to communicate with
IS and ES nodes that reside outside its OSI area.

• Intermediate System Level 1/Level 2—The ONS 15454 performs IS functions. It communicates
with IS and ES nodes that reside within its OSI area. It also communicates with IS L1/L2 nodes that
reside in other OSI areas. This option should not be provisioned unless the node is connected to
another IS L1/L2 node that resides in a different OSI area. The node must also be connected to all
nodes within its area that are provisioned as IS L1/L2.
13.6.4.1 End System-to-Intermediate System Protocol
ES-IS is an OSI protocol that defines how ESs (hosts) and ISs (routers) learn about each other. ES-IS
configuration information is transmitted at regular intervals through the ES and IS hello messages. The
hello messages contain the subnetwork and network layer addresses of the systems that generate them.
The ES-IS configuration protocol communicates both OSI network layer addresses and OSI subnetwork
addresses. OSI network layer addresses identify either the NSAP, which is the interface between OSI
Layer 3 and Layer 4, or the NET, which is the network layer entity in an OSI IS. OSI SNPAs are the
points at which an ES or IS is physically attached to a subnetwork. The SNPA address uniquely identifies
each system attached to the subnetwork. In an Ethernet network, for example, the SNPA is the 48-bit
MAC address. Part of the configuration information transmitted by ES-IS is the NSAP-to-SNPA or
NET-to-SNPA mapping.
13.6.4.2 Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System Protocol
IS-IS is an OSI link-state hierarchical routing protocol that floods the network with link-state
information to build a complete, consistent picture of a network topology. IS-IS distinguishes between
Level 1 and Level 2 ISs. Level 1 ISs communicate with other Level 1 ISs in the same area. Level 2 ISs
route between Level 1 areas and form an intradomain routing backbone. Level 1 ISs need to know only
how to get to the nearest Level 2 IS. The backbone routing protocol can change without impacting the
intra-area routing protocol.
OSI routing begins when the ESs discover the nearest IS by listening to ISH packets. When an ES wants
to send a packet to another ES, it sends the packet to one of the ISs on its directly attached network. The
router then looks up the destination address and forwards the packet along the best route. If the
destination ES is on the same subnetwork, the local IS knows this from listening to ESHs and forwards
the packet appropriately. The IS also might provide a redirect (RD) message back to the source to tell it
that a more direct route is available. If the destination address is an ES on another subnetwork in the
same area, the IS knows the correct route and forwards the packet appropriately. If the destination
address is an ES in another area, the Level 1 IS sends the packet to the nearest Level 2 IS. Forwarding
through Level 2 ISs continues until the packet reaches a Level 2 IS in the destination area. Within the
destination area, the ISs forward the packet along the best path until the destination ES is reached.
Link-state update messages help ISs learn about the network topology. Each IS generates an update
specifying the ESs and ISs to which it is connected, as well as the associated metrics. The update is then
sent to all neighboring ISs, which forward (flood) it to their neighbors, and so on. (Sequence numbers
terminate the flood and distinguish old updates from new ones.) Using these updates, each IS can build
a complete topology of the network. When the topology changes, new updates are sent.
IS-IS uses a single required default metric with a maximum path value of 1024. The metric is arbitrary
and typically is assigned by a network administrator. Any single link can have a maximum value of 64,
and path links are calculated by summing link values. Maximum metric values were set at these levels
to provide the granularity to support various link types while at the same time ensuring that the
shortest-path algorithm used for route computation is reasonably efficient. Three optional IS-IS metrics
(costs)—delay, expense, and error—are not supported by the ONS 15454. IS-IS maintains a mapping of
the metrics to the quality of service (QoS) option in the CLNP packet header. IS-IS uses the mappings
to compute routes through the internetwork.

13.6.5 TARP
13.6.5 TARP
TARP is used when TL1 target identifiers (TIDs) must be translated to NSAP addresses. The
TID-to-NSAP translation occurs by mapping TIDs to the NETs, then deriving NSAPs from the NETs by
using the NSAP selector values (Table 13-8 on page 13-32).
TARP uses a selective PDU propagation methodology in conjunction with a distributed database (that
resides within the NEs) of TID-to-NET mappings. TARP allows NEs to translate between TID and NET
by automatically exchanging mapping information with other NEs. The TARP PDU is carried by the
standard CLNP Data PDU. TARP PDU fields are shown in Table 13-9.
Table 13-10 shows the TARP PDUs types that govern TARP interaction and routing.

13.6.5.1 TARP Processing
A TARP data cache (TDC) is created at each NE to facilitate TARP processing. In CTC, the TDC is
displayed and managed on the node view Maintenance > OSI > TDC subtab. The TDC subtab contains
the following TARP PDU fields:
• TID—TID of the originating NE (tar-tor).
• NSAP—NSAP of the originating NE.
• Type— Indicates whether the TARP PDU was created through the TARP propagation process
(dynamic) or manually created (static).
Provisionable timers, shown in Table 13-11, control TARP processing.
Table 13-12 shows the main TARP processes and the general sequence of events that occurs in each
process.
3 Sent as a response to Type 1, Type 2, or
Type 5 PDUs.
After a TARP Request (Type 1 or 2) PDU is received,
a TARP Type 3 PDU is sent to the request originator.
Type 3 PDUs do not use the TARP propagation
procedures.
4 Sent as a notification when a change
occurs locally, for example, a TID or
NSAP change. It might also be sent
when an NE initializes.
A Type 4 PDU is a notification of a TID or Protocol
Address change at the NE that originates the
notification. The PDU is sent to all adjacencies inside
and outside the NE’s routing area.
5 Sent when a device needs a TID that
corresponds to a specific NSAP.
When a Type 5 PDU is sent, the CLNP destination
address is known, so the PDU is sent to only that
address. Type 5 PDUs do not use the TARP
propagation procedures.

13.6.5 TARP
13.6.5.2 TARP Loop Detection Buffer
The TARP loop detection buffer (LDB) can be enabled to prevent duplicate TARP PDUs from entering
the TDC. When a TARP Type 1, 2, or 4 PDU arrives, TARP checks its LDB for a NET address (tar-por)
of the PDU originator match. If no match is found, TARP processes the PDU and assigns a tar-por,
tar-seq (sequence) entry for the PDU to the LDB. If the tar-seq is zero, a timer associated with the LDB
entry is started using the provisionable LDB entry timer on the node view OSI > TARP > Config tab. If
a match exists, the tar-seq is compared to the LDB entry. If the tar-seq is not zero and is less than or equal
to the LDB entry, the PDU is discarded. If the tar-seq is greater than the LDB entry, the PDU is processed
and the tar-seq field in the LDB entry is updated with the new value. The Cisco ONS 15454 LDB holds
approximately 500 entries. The LDB is flushed periodically based on the time set in the LDB Flush timer
on the node view OSI > TARP > Config tab.
13.6.5.3 Manual TARP Adjacencies
TARP adjacencies can be manually provisioned in networks where ONS 15454s must communicate
across routers or non-SONET NEs that lack TARP capability. In CTC, manual TARP adjacencies are
provisioned on the node view Provisioning > OSI > TARP > MAT (Manual Area Table) subtab. The
manual adjacency causes a TARP request to hop through the general router or non-SONET NE, as shown
in Figure 13-23.

TIDs can be manually linked to NSAPs and added to the TDC. Static TDC entries are similar to static

that NSAP. No TARP network propagation or instantaneous replies are involved. Static entries allow you
to forward TL1 commands to NEs that do not support TARP. However, static TDC entries are not
dynamically updated, so outdated entries are not removed after the TID or the NSAP changes on the

an FTAM responder (server) and an FTP client, allowing FTAM initiators (clients) to store, retrieve,
or delete files from an FTP server. The FT–TD gateway is unidirectional and is driven by the FTAM
initiator. The FT–TD FTAM responder exchanges messages with the FTAM initiator over the full
OSI stack. Figure 13-25 shows the FT–TD protocol flow.
Figure 13-25 FT–TD Protocol Flow
The ONS 15454 uses FT–TD for the following file transfer processes:
• Software downloads
• Database backups and restores
• Cisco IOS configuration backups and restores for ML and ML2 Series cards.
13.6.7 OSI Virtual Routers
The ONS 15454 supports three OSI virtual routers. The routers are provisioned on the Provisioning >

13.6.7 OSI Virtual Routers
Figure 13-26 Provisioning OSI Routers
Each router has an editable manual area address and a unique NSAP System ID that is set to the node
MAC address + n. For Router 1, n = 0. For Router 2, n = 1. For Router 3, n = 2. Each router can be
enabled and connected to different OSI routing areas. However, Router 1 is the primary router, and it
must be enabled before Router 2 and Router 3 can be enabled. The Router 1 manual area address and
System ID create the NSAP address assigned to the node’s TID. In addition, Router 1 supports OSI
TARP, mediation, and tunneling functions that are not supported by Router 2 and Router 3. These
include:
• TID-to-NSAP resolution
• TARP data cache
• IP-over-CLNS tunnels
• FTAM
• FT-TD
• T-TD
• LAN subnet
OSI virtual router constraints depend on the routing mode provisioned for the node. Table 13-13 shows
the number of IS L1s, IS L1/L2s, and DCCs that are supported by each router. An IS Level1 and IS
Level1/Level2 support one ES per DCC subnet and up to 100 ESs per LAN subnet.

13.6.8 IP-over-CLNS Tunnels
Each OSI virtual router has a primary manual area address. You can also create two additional manual
area addresses. These manual area addresses can be used to:
• Split up an area—Nodes within a given area can accumulate to a point that they are difficult to
manage, cause excessive traffic, or threaten to exceed the usable address space for an area.
Additional manual area addresses can be assigned so that you can smoothly partition a network into
separate areas without disrupting service.
• Merge areas—Use transitional area addresses to merge as many as three separate areas into a single
area that shares a common area address.
• Change to a different address—You might need to change an area address for a particular group of
nodes. Use multiple manual area addresses to allow incoming traffic intended for an old area address
to continue being routed to associated nodes.
13.6.8 IP-over-CLNS Tunnels
IP-over-CLNS tunnels are used to encapsulate IP for transport across OSI NEs. The ONS 15454 supports
two tunnel types:
• GRE—Generic Routing Encapsulation is a tunneling protocol that encapsulates one network layer
for transport across another. GRE tunnels add both a CLNS header and a GRE header to the tunnel
frames. GRE tunnels are supported by Cisco routers and some other vendor NEs.
• Cisco IP—The Cisco IP tunnel directly encapsulates the IP packet with no intermediate header.
Cisco IP is supported by most Cisco routers.
Figure 13-24 shows the protocol flow when an IP-over-CLNS tunnel is created through four NEs (A, B,
C, and D). The tunnel ends are configured on NEs A and D, which support both IP and OSI. NEs B and
C only support OSI, so they only route the OSI packets.

13.6.8.1 Provisioning IP-over-CLNS Tunnels
IP-over-CLNS tunnels must be carefully planned to prevent nodes from losing visibility or connectivity.
Before you begin a tunnel, verify that the tunnel type, either Cisco IP or GRE, is supported by the
equipment at the other end. Always verify IP and NSAP addresses. Provisioning of IP-over-CLNS
tunnels in CTC is performed on the node view Provisioning > OSI > IP over CLNS Tunnels tab. For
procedures, refer to the “Turn Up a Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Provisioning IP-over-CLNS tunnels on Cisco routers requires the following prerequisite tasks, as well
as other OSI provisioning:
• (Required) Enable IS-IS
• (Optional) Enable routing for an area on an interface
• (Optional) Assign multiple area addresses
• (Optional) Configure IS-IS interface parameters
• (Optional) Configure miscellaneous IS-IS parameters
The Cisco IOS commands used to create IP-over-CLNS tunnels (CTunnels) are shown in Table 13-14.

13.6.9 OSI/IP Networking Scenarios
The following eight scenarios show examples of ONS 15454s in networks with OSI-based NEs. The
scenarios show ONS 15454 nodes in a variety of roles. The scenarios assume the following:
• ONS 15454 NEs are configured as dual OSI and IP nodes with both IP and NSAP addresses. They
run both OSPF and OSI (IS-IS or ES-IS) routing protocols as “Ships-In-The-Night,” with no route
redistribution.
• ONS 15454 NEs run TARP, which allows them to resolve a TL1 TID to a NSAP address. A TID
might resolve to both an IP and an NSAP address when the destination TID is an ONS 15454 NE
that has both IP and NSAP address.
• DCC links between ONS 15454 NEs and OSI-only NEs run the full OSI stack over LAP-D, which
includes IS-IS, ES-IS, and TARP.
• DCC links between ONS 15454 NEs run the full OSI stack and IP (OSPF) over PPP.

• All ONS 15454 NEs participating in an OSI network run OSI over PPP between themselves. This is
needed so that other vendor GNEs can route TL1 commands to all ONS 15454 NEs participating in
the OSI network.

OSI/IP Scenario 2 (Figure 13-32) shows an ONS 15454 GNE in a multivendor OSI network. Both the
ONS 15454 GNE and the other vendor NEs are managed by an IP OSS using TL1 and FTP. The
ONS 15454 is also managed by CTC and Cisco Transport Manager (CTM). Because the other vendor
NE only supports TL1 and FTAM over the full OSI stack, the ONS 15454 GNE provides T–TD and
FT–TD mediation to convert TL1/IP to TL1/OSI and FTAM/OSI to FTP/IP.

The ONS 15454 GNE routes TL1 traffic to the correct NE by resolving the TL1 TID to either an IP or
NSAP address. For TL1 traffic to other vendor NEs (OSI-only nodes), the TID is resolved to an NSAP
address. The ONS 15454 GNE passes the TL1 to the mediation function, which encapsulates it over the
full OSI stack and routes it to the destination using the IS-IS protocol.
For TL1 traffic to ONS 15454 NEs, the TID is resolved to both an IP and an NSAP address. The
ONS 15454 GNE follows the current TL1 processing model and forwards the request to the destination
NE using the TCP/IP stack and OSPF routing.

13.6.9 OSI/IP Networking Scenarios
OSS-initiated software downloads consist of two parts: the OSS to destination NE TL1 download request
and the file transfer. The TL1 request is handled the same as described in the previous paragraph. The
ONS 15454 NEs use FTP for file transfers. OSI-only NEs use FTAM to perform file transfers. The
FTAM protocol is carried over OSI between the OSI NE and the ONS 15454 GNE. The GNE mediation
translates between FTAM to FTP.
13.6.9.3 OSI/IP Scenario 3: IP OSS, IP DCN, Other Vendor GNE, OSI DCC, and ONS ENE
In OSI/IP Scenario 3 (Figure 13-33), all TL1 traffic between the OSS and GNE is exchanged over the IP
DCN. TL1 traffic targeted for the GNE is processed locally. All other TL1 traffic is forwarded to the OSI
stack, which performs IP-to-OSI TL1 translation. The TL1 is encapsulated in the full OSI stack and sent
to the target NE over the DCC. The GNE can route to any node within the IS-IS domain because all NEs,
ONS 15454 and non-ONS 15454, have NSAP addresses and support IS-IS routing.
TL1 traffic received by an ONS 15454 NE and not addressed to its NSAP address is forwarded by IS-IS
routing to the correct destination. TL1 traffic received by an ONS 15454 NE and addressed to its NSAP
is sent up the OSI stack to the mediation function, which extracts the TL1 and passes it to the ONS 15454
TL1 processor.
An OSS initiated software download includes the OSS-to-destination node TL1 download request and
the file transfer. The TL1 request is handled as described in the previous paragraph. The target node uses
FTAM for file transfers because the GNE does not support IP on the DCC and cannot forward FTP. The
ONS 15454 NEs therefore must support an FTAM client and initiate file transfer using FTAM when
subtended to an OSI GNE.
In this scenario, the GNE has both IP and OSI DCN connections. The GNE only supports TL1 and FTP
over IP. Both are translated and then carried over OSI to the destination ENE (ONS 15454 or OSI-only
NE). All other IP traffic is discarded by the GNE. The CTC/CTM IP traffic is carried over an IP-over-OSI
tunnel to an ONS 15454 NE. The tunnel is created between an external router and an ONS 15454 NE.
The traffic is sent to the ONS 15454 terminating the tunnel. That ONS 15454 then forwards the traffic
over the tunnel to CTC/CTM by way of the external router.

13.6.9.4 OSI/IP Scenario 4: Multiple ONS DCC Areas
OSI/IP Scenario 4 (Figure 13-35) is similar to OSI/IP Scenario 3 except that the OSI GNE is subtended
by multiple isolated ONS 15454 areas. A separate IP-over-CLNS tunnel is required to each isolated
ONS 15454 OSPF area. An alternate approach is to create a single IP-over-CLNS tunnel from CTC/CTM
to an ONS 15454 NE, and then to configure a tunnel from that NE to an NE in each isolated OSPF area.
This approach requires additional static routes.
1The IP OSS manages ONS and other vendor NEs using TL1 and FTP.
2The router routes requests to the other vender GNE.
3The other vendor GNE performs mediation for TL1 and FTP, so the DCCs to ONS 15454 and

OSI/IP Scenario 5 (Figure 13-36) is similar to OSI/IP Scenario 3 except that the OSI GNE only has an
IP connection to the DCN. It does not have an OSI DCN connection to carry CTC/CTM IP traffic through
an IP-over-OSI tunnel. A separate DCN to ONS 15454 NE connection is created to provide CTC/CTM
access.

13.6.9.6 OSI/IP Scenario 6: IP OSS, OSI DCN, ONS GNE, OSI DCC, and Other Vendor ENE
OSI/IP Scenario 6 (Figure 13-37) shows how the ONS 15454 supports OSI DCNs. The OSI DCN has no
impact on the ONS 15454 because all IP traffic (CTC/CTM, FTP, and TL1) is tunneled through the OSI
DCN.
1The IP OSS manages ONS 15454 and other vendor NEs using TL1 and FTP.
2The other vendor GNE performs mediation on TL1 and FTP, so DCCs are OSI-only.
3CTC/CTM communicates with ONS 15454 NEs over a separate IP DCN connection.

• TL1 management is not required.
• FTP file transfer is not required.
• TL1 and FTAM to FTP mediation is not required.
Management traffic between CTC/CTM and ONS 15454 NEs is carried over an IP-over-CLNS tunnel.
A static route is configured on the ONS 15454 that terminates the tunnel (ONS 15454 NE 1) so that
downstream ONS 15454 NEs (ONS 15454 NE 2 and 3) know how to reach CTC/CTM.
13.6.9.8 OSI/IP Scenario 8: OSI OSS, OSI DCN, ONS GNE, OSI DCC, and Other Vender NEs
OSI/IP Scenario 8 (Figure 13-39) is another example of a European network. Similar to OSI/IP Scenario
7, the ONS 15454 NEs are solely managed by CTC/CTM. The CTC/CTM IP traffic is carried over a
IP-over-OSI tunnel between an external router and the ONS 15454 GNE. The GNE extracts the IP from
the tunnel and forwards it to the destination ONS 15454. Management traffic between the OSS and other
vendor NEs is routed by the ONS 15454 GNE and NEs. This is possible because all ONS 15454 NEs run
dual stacks (OSI and IP).

13.7 IPv6 Network Compatibility
13.7 IPv6 Network Compatibility
Cisco ONS 15xxx products can function in an IPv6 network when an internet router that supports
Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) is positioned between the GNE, such as
an ONS 15454, and the client workstation. NAT-PT is defined in RFC-2766. IPv4 and IPv6 nodes
communicate with each other using NAT-PT by allowing both IPv6 and IPv4 stacks to interface between
the IPv6 DCN and the IPv4 DCC networks.
NAT-PT binds addresses in IPv6 networks with addresses in IPv4 networks and vice versa to provide
transparent routing for the packets traveling between address types. This requires no changes to end
nodes and IP packet routing is completely transparent to end nodes. It does, however, require NAT-PT
to track the sessions it supports and mandates that inbound and outbound datagrams pertaining to a
session traverse the same NAT-PT router. Protocol translation is used to extend address translation with
protocol syntax/semantics translation.
Note Only Mozilla 1.7 is supported on clients interfacing with IPv6 networks.
13.8 FTP Support for ENE Database Backup
The Cisco ONS 15454 provides FTP database backup and restore download to ENEs when
proxy/firewall is enabled. This feature allows you to provision a list of legal FTP hosts in CTC, that can
be used with TL1 commands to perform database backup/restore or software download. The FTP hosts
can be provisioned to elapse after a specified time interval with the enable FTP relay function.
Once FTP host are provisioned, and FTP Releay is enabled, TL1 users can then use the COPY-RFILE
command to perform database backup/restore or software download to and from this list of legal FTP
hosts that are provisioned to ENEs. Also, TL1 supports TID to IP address translation for the GNE TID
that is specified in the FTP URL of COPY-RFILE and COPY-IOSCFG commands.
Using the FTP Host provisioning feature in CTC and TL1 you can configure up to 12 valid FTP hosts.
ENEs are allowed access through the firewall according to the time configured in the FTP Relay Timer
in CTC or TL1. The time interval is 1 to 60 minutes, and once the timer elapses, all FTP access to the
FTP host is blocked again. A time of 0 disallows ENE access to FTP commands through the firewall.
When the firewall is not enabled (Proxy only), all FTP operations to the ENE will be allowed – software
download, database backup/restore and IOS config file backup/restore. All FTP operations to the ENEs
will be blocked when firewall is enabled.

Alarm Monitoring and Management
This chapter describes Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) alarm management. To troubleshoot specific
alarms, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide. Chapter topics include:
• 14.1 Overview, page 14-1
• 14.2 LCD Alarm Counts, page 14-1
• 14.3 Alarm Information, page 14-2
• 14.4 Alarm Severities, page 14-9
• 14.5 Alarm Profiles, page 14-9
• 14.6 Alarm Suppression, page 14-13
• 14.7 External Alarms and Controls, page 14-14
14.1 Overview
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 the card, node, or network level. Alarming
conforms to Telcordia GR-253 standard. Severities conform to Telcordia GR-474, but you can set alarm
severities in customized alarm profiles or suppress CTC alarm reporting. For a detailed description of
the standard Telcordia categories employed by Optical Networking System (ONS) nodes, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.
Note ONS 15454 alarms can also be monitored and managed through Transaction Language One (TL1) or a
network management system (NMS).
14.2 LCD Alarm Counts
You can view node, slot, or port-level alarm counts and summaries using the buttons on the ONS 15454
LCD panel. The Slot and Port buttons toggle between display types; the Slot button toggles between
node display and slot display, and the Port button toggles between slot and port views. Pressing the
Status button after you choose the display mode changes the display from alarm count to alarm summary.

14.3 Alarm Information
The ONS 15454 has a one-button update for some commonly viewed alarm counts. If you press the Slot
button once and then wait eight seconds, the display automatically changes from a slot alarm count to a
slot alarm summary. If you press the Port button to toggle to port-level display, you can use the Port
button to toggle to a specific slot and to view each port’s port-level alarm count. Figure 14-1 shows the
LCD panel layout.
Figure 14-1 Shelf LCD Panel
14.3 Alarm Information
You can use the Alarms tab to view card, node, or network-level alarms. The Alarms window shows
alarms in conformance with Telcordia GR-253. This means that if a network problem causes two alarms,
such as loss of frame (LOF) and loss of signal (LOS), CTC only shows the LOS alarm in this window
because it supersedes LOF. (The LOF alarm can still be retrieved in the Conditions window.)
The Path Width column in the Alarms and Conditions tabs expands upon alarmed object information
contained in the access identifier (AID) string (such as “STS-4-1-3”) by giving the number of STSs
contained in the alarmed path. For example, the Path Width will tell you whether a critical alarm applies
to an STS1 or an STS48c. The column reports the width as a 1, 3, 6, 12, 48, etc. as appropriate,
understood to be “STS-N.”

14.3 Alarm Information
Note When an entity is put in the OOS,MT administrative state, the ONS 15454 suppresses all standing alarms
on that entity. All alarms and events appear on the Conditions tab. You can change this behavior for the
LPBKFACILITY and LPBKTERMINAL alarms. To display these alarms on the Alarms tab, set the
NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnPortsInOOS-MT to TRUE on the NE Defaults tab.
Table 14-2 lists the color codes for alarm and condition severities. The inherited (I) and unset (U)
severities are only listed in the network view Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tab.
Note Major and Minor alarms might appear yellow in CTC under certain circumstances. This is not due to a
CTC problem but to a workstation memory and color utilization problem. For example, a workstation
might run out of colors if many color-intensive applications are running. When using Netscape, you can
limit the number of colors used by launching it from the command line with either the -install option or
the -ncols 32 option.

14.3.1 Viewing Alarms With Each Node’s Time Zone
By default, alarms and conditions are displayed with the time stamp of the CTC workstation where you
are viewing them. But you can set the node to report alarms (and conditions) using the time zone where
the node is located by clicking Edit > Preferences, and clicking the Display Events Using Each Node’s
Timezone check box.
14.3.2 Controlling Alarm Display
You can control the display of the alarms shown on the Alarms window. Table 14-3 shows the actions
you can perform in the Alarms window.
14.3.3 Filtering Alarms
The alarm display can be filtered to prevent display of alarms with certain severities or alarms that
occurred between certain dates and times. You can set the filtering parameters by clicking the Filter
button at the bottom-left of the Alarms window. You can turn the filter on or off by clicking the Filter
tool at the bottom-right of the window. CTC retains your filter activation setting. For example, if you
turn the filter on and then log out, CTC keeps the filter active the next time you log in.
Table 14-3 Alarm Display
Button/Check Box/Tool Action
Filter button Allows you to change the display on the Alarms window to show only
alarms that meet a certain severity level, occur in a specified time frame,
and/or reflect specific conditions. For example, you can set the filter so that
only critical alarms display on the window.
If you enable the Filter feature by clicking the Filter button in one CTC
view, such as node view, it is enabled in the others as well (card view and
network view).
Synchronize button Updates the alarm display. Although CTC displays alarms in real time, the
Synchronize button allows you to verify the alarm display. This is
particularly useful during provisioning or troubleshooting.
Delete Cleared Alarms

Filter tool Enables or disables alarm filtering in the card, node, or network view. When
enabled or disabled, this state applies to other views for that node and for
all other nodes in the network. For example, if the Filter tool is enabled in
the node (default login) view Alarms window, the network view Alarms
window and card view Alarms window also show the tool enabled. All other
nodes in the network also show the tool enabled.

14.3.4 Viewing Alarm-Affected Circuits
A user can view which ONS 15454 circuits are affected by a specific alarm by positioning the cursor
over the alarm in the Alarm window and right-clicking. A shortcut menu appears (Figure 14-2). When
the user selects the Select Affected Circuits option, the Circuits window opens to show the circuits that
are affected by the alarm.
Figure 14-2 Select Affected Circuits Option
14.3.5 Conditions Tab
The Conditions window displays retrieved fault conditions. A condition is a fault or status detected by
ONS 15454 hardware or software. When a condition occurs and continues for a minimum period, CTC
raises a condition, which is a flag showing that this particular condition currently exists on the
ONS 15454.
The Conditions window shows all conditions that occur, including those that are superseded. For
instance, if a network problem causes two alarms, such as LOF and LOS, CTC shows both the LOF and
LOS conditions in this window (even though LOS supersedes LOF). Having all conditions visible can
be helpful when troubleshooting the ONS 15454. If you want to retrieve conditions that obey a
root-cause hierarchy (that is, LOS supersedes and replaces LOF), you can exclude the same root causes
by checking “Exclude Same Root Cause” check box in the window.
Fault conditions include reported alarms and Not Reported or Not Alarmed conditions. Refer to the
trouble notifications information in the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for more information
about alarm and condition classifications.

14.3.6.1 Retrieving and Displaying Conditions
The current set of all existing conditions maintained by the alarm manager can be seen when you click
the Retrieve button. The set of conditions retrieved is relative to the view. For example, if you click the
button while displaying the node view, node-specific conditions are displayed. If you click the button
while displaying the network view, all conditions for the network (including ONS 15454 nodes and other
connected nodes) are displayed, and the card view shows only card-specific conditions.
You can also set a node to display conditions using the time zone where the node is located, rather than
the time zone of the PC where they are being viewed. See the “14.3.1 Viewing Alarms With Each Node’s
Time Zone” section on page 14-4 for more information.

14.3.6.3 Filtering Conditions
The condition display can be filtered to prevent display of conditions (including alarms) with certain
severities or that occurred between certain dates. You can set the filtering parameters by clicking the
Filter button at the bottom-left of the Conditions window. You can turn the filter on or off by clicking
the Filter tool at the bottom-right of the window. CTC retains your filter activation setting. For example,
if you turn the filter on and then log out, CTC keeps the filter active the next time your user ID is
activated.
14.3.7 Viewing History
The History window displays historic alarm or condition data for the node or for your login session. You
can choose to display only alarm history, only events, or both by checking check boxes in the History >
Shelf window. You can view network-level alarm and condition history, such as for circuits, for all the
nodes visible in network view. At the node level, you can see all port (facility), card, STS, and
system-level history entries for that node. For example, protection-switching events or
performance-monitoring threshold crossings appear here. If you double-click a card, you can view all
port, card, and STS alarm or condition history that directly affects the card.
Note In the Preference dialog General tab, the Maximum History Entries value only applies to the Session
window.
Different views of CTC display different kinds of history:
• The History > Session window is shown in network view, node view, and card view. It shows alarms
and conditions that occurred during the current user CTC session.
• The History > Shelf window is only shown in node view. It shows the alarms and conditions that
occurred on the node since CTC software was operated on the node.
• The History > Card window is only shown in card view. It shows the alarms and conditions that
occurred on the card since CTC software was installed on the node.
Tip Double-click an alarm in the History window 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.

14.3.7 Viewing History
If you check the History window Alarms check box, you display the node history of alarms. If you check
the Events check box, you display the node history of Not Alarmed and transient events (conditions). If
you check both check boxes, you retrieve node history for both.
14.3.7.1 History Column Descriptions
Table 14-6 lists the History window column headings and the information recorded in each column.
14.3.7.2 Retrieving and Displaying Alarm and Condition History
You can retrieve and view the history of alarms and conditions, as well as transients (passing
notifications of processes as they occur) in the CTC history window. The information in this window is
specific to the view where it is shown (that is, network history in the network view, node history in the
node view, and card history in the card view).
The node and card history views are each divided into two tabs. In node view, when you click the
Retrieve button, you can see the history of alarms, conditions, and transients that have occurred on the
node in the History > Shelf window, and the history of alarms, conditions, and transients that have
occurred on the node during your login session in the History > Session window. In the card-view history
window, after you retrieve the card history, you can see the history of alarms, conditions, and transients

14.3.8 Alarm History and Log Buffer Capacities
on the card in the History > Card window, or a history of alarms, conditions, and transients that have
occurred during your login session in the History > Session window. You can also filter the severities
and occurrence period in these history windows.
14.3.8 Alarm History and Log Buffer Capacities
The ONS 15454 alarm history log, stored in the TCC2/TCC2P RSA memory, contains four categories
of alarms. These include:
• CR severity alarms
• MJ severity alarms
• MN severity alarms
• the combined group of cleared, Not Alarmed severity, and Not Reported severity alarms
Each category can store between 4 and 640 alarm chunks, or entries. In each category, when the upper
limit is reached, the oldest entry in the category is deleted. The capacity is not user-provisionable.
CTC also has a log buffer, separate from the alarm history log, that pertains to the total number of entries
displayed in the Alarms, Conditions, and History windows. The total capacity is provisionable up to
5,000 entries. When the upper limit is reached, the oldest entries are deleted.
14.4 Alarm Severities
ONS 15454 alarm severities follow the Telcordia GR-253 standard, so a condition might be Alarmed (at
a severity of Critical [CR], Major [MJ], or Minor [MN]), Not Alarmed (NA), or Not Reported (NR).
These severities are reported in the CTC software Alarms, Conditions, and History windows at all levels:
network, shelf, and card.
ONS equipment provides a standard profile named Default listing all alarms and conditions with severity
settings based on Telcordia GR-474 and other standards, but users can create their own profiles with
different settings for some or all conditions and apply these wherever desired. (See the “14.5 Alarm
Profiles” section on page 14-9.) For example, in a custom alarm profile, the default severity of a carrier
loss (CARLOSS) alarm on an Ethernet port could be changed from major to critical. The profile allows
setting to Not Reported or Not Alarmed, as well as the three alarmed severities.
Critical and Major severities are only used for service-affecting alarms. If a condition is set as Critical
or Major by profile, it will raise as Minor alarm in the following situations:
• In a protection group, if the alarm is on a standby entity (side not carrying traffic)
• If the alarmed entity has no traffic provisioned on it, so no service is lost
Because of this possibility of being raised at two different levels, the alarm profile pane shows Critical
as CR / MN and Major as MJ / MN.
14.5 Alarm Profiles
The alarm profiles feature allows you to change default alarm severities by creating unique alarm profiles
for individual ONS 15454 ports, cards, or nodes. A created alarm profile can be applied to any node on
the network. Alarm profiles can be saved to a file and imported elsewhere in the network, but the profile
must be stored locally on a node before it can be applied to the node, its cards, or its cards’ ports.

Chapter 14 Alarm Monitoring and Management
14.5.1 Creating and Modifying Alarm Profiles
CTC can store up to ten active alarm profiles at any time to apply to the node. Custom profiles can take
eight of these active profile positions. Two other profiles, Default profile and Inherited profile, are
reserved by the NE, and cannot be edited.The reserved Default profile contains Telcordia GR-474
severities. The reserved Inherited profile allows port alarm severities to be governed by the card-level
severities, or card alarm severities to be determined by the node-level severities.
If one or more alarm profiles have been stored as files from elsewhere in the network onto the local PC
or server hard drive where CTC resides, you can use as many profiles as you can physically store by
deleting and replacing them locally in CTC so that only eight are active at any given time.
14.5.1 Creating and Modifying Alarm Profiles
Alarm profiles are created in the network view using the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tabs. Figure 14-3
shows the default list of alarm severities. A default alarm severity following Telcordia GR-253 standards
is preprovisioned for every alarm. After loading the default profile or another profile on the node, you
can clone a profile to create custom profiles. After the new profile is created, the Alarm Profiles window
shows the original profile (frequently Default) and the new profile.
Figure 14-3 Network View Alarm Profiles Window
The alarm profile list contains a master list of alarms that is used for a mixed node network. Some of
these alarms might not be used in all ONS nodes.

You must load a profile before you can clone it.

Chapter 14 Alarm Monitoring and Management
14.5.2 Alarm Profile Buttons
Note Up to 10 profiles, including the two reserved profiles (Inherited and Default) can be stored in CTC.
Wherever it is applied, the Default alarm profile sets severities to standard Telcordia GR-253 settings.
In the Inherited profile, alarms inherit, or copy, severity from the next-highest level. For example, a card
with an Inherited alarm profile copies the severities used by the node housing the card. If you choose the
Inherited profile from the network view, the severities at the lower levels (node and card) are copied from
this selection.
You do not have to apply a single severity profile to the node, card, and port alarms. Different profiles
can be applied at different levels. You could use the inherited or default profile on a node and on all cards
and ports, but apply a custom profile that downgrades an alarm on one particular card. For example, you
might choose to downgrade an OC-N unequipped path alarm (UNEQ-P) from Critical (CR) to Not
Alarmed (NA) on an optical card because this alarm raises and then clears every time you create a circuit.
UNEQ-P alarms for the card with the custom profile would not display on the Alarms tab. (But they
would still be recorded on the Conditions and History tabs.)
When you modify severities in an alarm profile:
• All Critical (CR) or Major (MJ) default or user-defined severity settings are demoted to Minor (MN)
in Non-Service-Affecting (NSA) situations as defined in Telcordia GR-474.
• Default severities are used for all alarms and conditions until you create a new profile and apply it.
The Load and Store buttons are not available for Retrieve and Maintenance users.
The Delete and Store options will only display nodes to delete profiles from or store profiles to if the
user has provisioning permission for those nodes. If the user does not have the proper permissions, CTC
greys out the buttons and they are not available to the user.
14.5.2 Alarm Profile Buttons
The Alarm Profiles window displays six buttons at the bottom of the window. Table 14-7 lists and
describes each of the alarm profile buttons and their functions.

• Not Reported (NR)
• Not Alarmed (NA)
• Minor (MN)
• Major (MJ)
• Critical (CR)
• Use Default
• Inherited
Inherited and Use Default severity levels only appear in alarm profiles. They do not appear when you
view alarms, history, or conditions.
14.5.5 Row Display Options
The Alarm Profiles window (from network view) or the Alarm Profile Editor (from node view) displays
three check boxes at the bottom of the window:
• Only show service-affecting severities—If unchecked, the editor shows severities in the format
<sev1>/<sev2> where <sev1> is a service-affecting severity and <sev2> is not service-affecting. If
checked, the editor only shows <sev1> alarms.
• Hide reference values—Highlights alarms with non-default severities by clearing alarm cells with
default severities. This check-box is normally greyed out. It becomes active only when more than
one profile is listed in the Alarm Profile Editor window. (The check box text changes to “Hide
Values matching profile Default” in this case.
• Hide identical rows—Hides rows of alarms that contain the same severity for each profile.

14.5.6 Applying Alarm Profiles
14.5.6 Applying Alarm Profiles
In CTC node view, the Alarm Behavior window displays alarm profiles for the node. In card view, the
Alarm Behavior window displays the alarm profiles for the selected card. Alarm profiles form a
hierarchy. A node-level alarm profile applies to all cards in the node except cards that have their own
profiles. A card-level alarm profile applies to all ports on the card except ports that have their own
profiles.
At the node level, you can apply profile changes on a card-by-card basis or set a profile for the entire
node. At the card-level view, you can apply profile changes on a port-by-port basis or set alarm profiles
for all ports on that card. Figure 14-4 shows the DS1 card alarm profile.
Figure 14-4 DS1 Card Alarm Profile
14.6 Alarm Suppression
The following sections explain alarm suppression features for the ONS 15454.
14.6.1 Alarms Suppressed for Maintenance
When you place a port in OOS,MT administrative state, this raises the alarm suppressed for maintenance
(AS-MT) alarm in the Conditions and History windows1 and causes subsequently raised alarms for that
port to be suppressed.
1. AS-MT can be seen in the Alarms window as well if you have set the Filter dialog box to show NA severity
events.
![](asset-210.png)

Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual, R8.5.x
78-18106-01
Chapter 14 Alarm Monitoring and Management
14.6.2 Alarms Suppressed by User Command
While the facility is in the OOS,MT state, any alarms or conditions that are raised and suppressed on it
(for example, a transmit failure [TRMT] alarm) are reported in the Conditions window and show their
normal severity in the Sev column. The suppressed alarms are not shown in the Alarms and History
windows. (These windows only show AS-MT). When you place the port back into IS,AINS
administrative state, the AS-MT alarm is resolved in all three windows. Suppressed alarms remain raised
in the Conditions window until they are cleared.
14.6.2 Alarms Suppressed by User Command
In the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs, the ONS 15454 has an alarm suppression
option that clears raised alarm messages for the node, chassis, one or more slots (cards), or one or more
ports. Using this option raises the alarms suppressed by user command, or AS-CMD alarm. The
AS-CMD alarm, like the AS-MT alarm, appears in the Conditions, and History1 windows. Suppressed
conditions (including alarms) appear only in the Conditions window--showing their normal severity in
the Sev column. When the Suppress Alarms check box is unchecked, the AS-CMD alarm is cleared from
all three windows.
A suppression command applied at a higher level does not supersede a command applied at a lower level.
For example, applying a node-level alarm suppression command makes all raised alarms for the node
appear to be cleared, but it does not cancel out card-level or port-level suppression. Each of these
conditions can exist independently and must be cleared independently.
Caution Use alarm suppression with caution. If multiple CTC or TL1 sessions are open, suppressing the alarms
in one session suppresses the alarms in all other open sessions.
14.7 External Alarms and Controls
External alarm inputs can be provisioned on the Alarm Interface Controller-International (AIC-I) card
for external sensors such as an open door and flood sensors, temperature sensors, and other
environmental conditions. External control outputs on these two cards allow you to drive external visual
or audible devices such as bells and lights. They can control other devices such as generators, heaters,
and fans.
You provision external alarms in the AIC-I card view Provisioning > External Alarms tab and controls
in the AIC-I card view Provisioning > External Controls tab. Up to 12 external alarm inputs and four
external controls are available. If you also provision the alarm extension panel (AEP), there are 32 inputs
and 16 outputs.
14.7.1 External Alarms
You can provision each alarm input separately. Provisionable characteristics of external alarm inputs
include:
• Alarm Type—List of alarm types.
• User Defined Alarm Types
• Severity—CR, MJ, MN, NA, and NR.
• Virtual Wire—The virtual wire associated with the alarm.
![](asset-211.png)
14-15
Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual, R8.5.x
78-18106-01
Chapter 14 Alarm Monitoring and Management
14.7.2 User Defined Alarm Types
• Raised When—Open means that the normal condition is to not have current flowing through the
contact, and the alarm is generated when current does flow; closed means that the normal condition
is to have current flowing through the contact, and the alarm is generated when current stops
flowing.
• Description—CTC alarm log description (up to 63 characters).
Note If you provision an external alarm to raise when a contact is open, and you have not attached the
alarm cable, the alarm will remain raised until the alarm cable is connected.
Note When you provision an external alarm, the alarm object is ENV-IN-nn. The variable nn refers to
the external alarm’s number, regardless of the name you assign.
14.7.2 User Defined Alarm Types
User Defined Alarm Types allows you to dynamically add and delete the alarm types. In addition to the
existing hard coded alarm type attributes, you can define up to 50 alarm types. These dynamically added
alarm types can be associated, or disassociated, to any external alarm input and the added alarm type can
use the same behavior as hard coded alarm type attributes.
The following limits and guidelines apply:
• An AIC or AIC-I card must be installed
• Up to 50 Alarm Types can be defined
• The User Defined name can be up to 20 alphanumeric characters (upper case).
• The User Defined name can not contain special characters or spaces (Hyphen (-) is allowed)
14.7.3 External Controls
You can provision each alarm output separately. Provisionable characteristics of alarm outputs include:
• Control type.
• Trigger type (alarm or virtual wire).
• Description for CTC display.
• Closure setting (manually or by trigger). If you provision the output closure to be triggered, the
following characteristics can be used as triggers:
–
Local NE alarm severity—A chosen alarm severity (for example, major) and any higher-severity
alarm (in this case, critical) causes output closure.
–
Remote NE alarm severity—Similar to local NE alarm severity trigger setting, but applies to
remote alarms.
–
Virtual wire entities—You can provision an alarm that is input to a virtual wire to trigger an
external control output.

Performance Monitoring
Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds
for, and report performance data for early detection of problems. In this chapter, PM parameters and
concepts are defined for electrical cards, ethernet cards, optical cards, optical multirate cards, and
storage access networking (SAN) cards in the Cisco ONS 15454.
For information about enabling and viewing PM values, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Chapter 15 Performance Monitoring
15.1 Threshold Performance Monitoring
15.1 Threshold Performance Monitoring
Thresholds are used to set error levels for each PM parameter. You can set individual PM threshold
values from the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) card view Provisioning tab. For procedures on
provisioning card thresholds, such as line, path, and SONET thresholds, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide.
During the accumulation cycle, if the current value of a PM parameter reaches or exceeds its
corresponding threshold value, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is generated by the node and displayed
by 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 zero is entered as the threshold
value, generation of TCAs is disabled, but performance monitoring continues.
Change the threshold if the default value does not satisfy your error monitoring needs. For example,
customers with a critical DS-1 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.
When TCAs occur, they appear in CTC. An example is T-UASP-P in the Cond column (shown in
Figure 15-1), where the “T-” indicates a threshold crossing. For certain electrical cards, “RX” or “TX”
is appended to the TCA description, as indicated by the red circles in Figure 15-1. The RX indicates that
the TCA is associated with the receive direction, and TX indicates that the TCA is associated with the
transmit direction.
Figure 15-1 TCAs Displayed in CTC
Table 15-1 shows the electrical cards for which RX and TX are appended to the TCA descriptions.

Chapter 15 Performance Monitoring
15.2 Intermediate Path Performance Monitoring
Due to memory limitations and the number of TCAs generated by different platforms, you can manually
add/modify the following two properties to the platform property file (CTC.INI for Windows and .ctcrc
for UNIX):
• ctc.15xxx.node.tr.lowater=yyy where xxx is the platform and yyy is the number of the lowater
mark. The default lowater mark is 25.
• ctc.15xxx.node.tr.hiwater=yyy where xxx is the platform and yyy is the number of the hiwater
mark. The default hiwater mark is 50.
If the number of the incoming TCA is greater than the hiwater mark, the node will keep the latest lowater
mark and discard older ones.
15.2 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
networks only use line terminating equipment (LTE), not path terminating equipment (PTE). Table 15-2
shows ONS 15454 cards that are considered LTE.

Chapter 15 Performance Monitoring
15.3 Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring
ONS 15454 Software R3.0 and higher allows LTE cards to monitor near-end PM data on individual
synchronous transport signal (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 that have IPPM enabled, and TCAs are raised only for PM parameters
on the IPPM enabled paths. The monitored IPPM parameters are STS CV-P, STS ES-P, STS SES-P,
STS UAS-P, and STS FC-P.
Note Far-end IPPM is not supported by all OC-N cards. It is supported by OC3-4 and EC-1 cards. 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
the near-end path PM values in the incoming direction of transmission. The IPPM process allows the
path signal to pass bidirectionally through the node completely unaltered.
See Table 15-3 on page 15-5 for detailed information and definitions of specific IPPM parameters.
15.3 Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring
Pointers are used to compensate for frequency and phase variations. Pointer justification counts indicate
timing errors on SONET networks. When a network is out of synchronization, jitter and wander occur
on the transported signal. Excessive wander can cause terminating equipment to slip.
Slips cause different effects in service. Voice service has intermittent audible clicks. Compressed voice
technology has short transmission errors or dropped calls. Fax machines lose scanned lines or experience
dropped calls. Digital video transmission has distorted pictures or frozen frames. Encryption service
loses the encryption key, causing data to be transmitted again.
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.
There are positive (PPJC) and negative (NPJC) pointer justification count parameters. PPJC is a count
of path-detected (PPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (PPJC-PGEN-P) positive pointer justifications.
NPJC is a count of path-detected (NPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (NPJC-PGEN-P) negative pointer
justifications depending on the specific PM name. PJCDIFF is the absolute value of the difference
between the total number of detected pointer justification counts and the total number of generated
pointer justification counts. PJCS-PDET-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or more
PPJC-PDET or NPJC-PDET. PJCS-PGEN-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or
more PPJC-PGEN or NPJC-PGEN.
A consistent pointer justification count indicates clock synchronization problems between nodes. A
difference between the counts means that 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.
You must enable PPJC and NPJC performance monitoring parameters for LTE cards. See Table 15-2 on
page 15-3 for a list of Cisco ONS 15454 LTE cards. In CTC, the count fields for PPJC and NPJC PMs
appear white and blank unless they are enabled on the card view Provisioning tab.
See Table 15-3 on page 15-5 for detailed information and definitions of specific pointer justification
count PM parameters.

Note If the CV-L(NE and FE) falls in the range 51-61 for EC1,then, the user might see discrepancy in the SES
and the UAS-L values. However, ES-L will be in the nearest accuracy. For a few seconds, in a given 10
seconds interval, the number of CV-L counted may not cross the CV count criteria for SES, (due to
system/application limitation for the below mentioned ranges); as a consequence of which there may not
be 10 continuous SES, thus UAS will not be observed.

15.5.4 DS3-12 and DS3N-12 Card Performance Monitoring Parameters
15.5.3.1 DS-1 Facility Data Link Performance Monitoring
Facility Data Link (FDL) performance monitoring enables an ONS 15454 DS1N-14 card to calculate and
report DS-1 error rate performance measured at both the near-end and far-end of the FDL. The far-end
information is reported as received on the FDL in a performance report message (PRM) from an
intelligent channel service unit (CSU).
To monitor DS-1 FDL PM values, the DS-1 must be set to use ESF format and the FDL must be
connected to an intelligent CSU. For procedures for provisioning ESF on the DS1N-14 card, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
The monitored DS-1 FDL PM parameters are CV-PFE, ES-PFE, ESA-PFE, ESB-PFE, SES-PFE,
SEFS-PFE, CSS-PFE, UAS-PFE, FC-PFE, and ES-LFE. See Table 15-3 on page 15-5 for detailed
information and definitions of specific FDL DS1 PM parameters.
15.5.4 DS3-12 and DS3N-12 Card Performance Monitoring Parameters
Figure 15-8 shows the signal types that support near-end and far-end PMs. Figure 15-9 shows where
overhead bytes detected on the ASICs produce PM parameters for the DS3-12 and DS3N-12 cards.

15.6 Performance Monitoring for Ethernet Cards
Note If the CV-L(NE and FE) falls in the range 51-61 for DS3,then, the user might see discrepancy in the SES
and the UAS-L values. However, ES-L will be in the nearest accuracy. For a few seconds, in a given 10
seconds interval, the number of CV-L counted may not cross the CV count criteria for SES, (due to
system/application limitation for the below mentioned ranges); as a consequence of which there may not
be 10 continuous SES, thus UAS will not be observed.
15.6 Performance Monitoring for Ethernet Cards
The following sections define PM parameters and definitions for the ONS 15454 E-Series, G-Series,
ML-Series, and CE-Series Ethernet cards.
15.6.1 E-Series Ethernet Card Performance Monitoring Parameters
CTC provides Ethernet performance information, including line-level parameters, port bandwidth
consumption, and historical Ethernet statistics. The E-Series Ethernet performance information is
divided into the Statistics, Utilization, and History tabbed windows within the card view Performance
tab window.
15.6.1.1 E-Series Ethernet Statistics Window
The Ethernet Statistics window lists Ethernet parameters at the line level. The Statistics window provides
buttons to change the statistical values shown. The Baseline button resets the displayed statistics values
to zero. The Refresh button manually refreshes statistics. Auto-Refresh sets a time interval at which

15.6.1 E-Series Ethernet Card Performance Monitoring Parameters
15.6.1.2 E-Series Ethernet Utilization Window
The Utilization window shows the percentage of transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) line bandwidth used by
the Ethernet ports during consecutive time segments. The Mode field displays the real-time mode status,
such as 100 Full, which is the mode setting configured on the E-Series port. However, if the E-Series
port is set to autonegotiate the mode (Auto), this field shows the result of the link negotiation between
the E-Series and the peer Ethernet device attached directly to the E-Series port.
The Utilization window provides an Interval drop-down list that enables you to set time intervals of
1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line utilization is calculated with the following formulas:
Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction
for the Ethernet port (that is, 1 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for E-Series Ethernet cards is shown in
Table 15-14.
Note Line utilization numbers express the average of ingress and egress traffic as a percentage of capacity.
Note The E-Series Ethernet card is a Layer 2 device or switch and supports Trunk Utilization statistics. The
Trunk Utilization statistics are similar to the Line Utilization statistics, but shows the percentage of
circuit bandwidth used rather than the percentage of line bandwidth used. The Trunk Utilization statistics
are accessed through the card view Maintenance tab.
15.6.1.3 E-Series Ethernet History Window
The Ethernet History window lists past Ethernet statistics for the previous time intervals. Depending on
the selected time interval, the History window displays the statistics for each port for the number of
previous time intervals as shown in Table 15-15. The parameters are defined in Table 15-13 on
page 15-29.

15.6.2 G-Series Ethernet Card Performance Monitoring Parameters
15.6.2 G-Series Ethernet Card Performance Monitoring Parameters
CTC provides Ethernet performance information, including line-level parameters, port bandwidth
consumption, and historical Ethernet statistics. The G-Series Ethernet performance information is
divided into the Statistics, Utilization, and History tabbed windows within the card view Performance
tab window.
15.6.2.1 G-Series Ethernet Statistics Window
The Ethernet Statistics window lists Ethernet parameters at the line level. The Statistics window provides
buttons to change the statistical values shown. The Baseline button resets the displayed statistics values
to zero. The Refresh button manually refreshes statistics. Auto-Refresh sets a time interval at which
automatic refresh occurs. The G-Series Statistics window also has a Clear button. The Clear button sets
the values on the card to zero, but does not reset the G-Series card.
Table 15-16 defines the G-Series Ethernet card statistics parameters.
Table 15-16 G-Series Ethernet Statistics Parameters
Parameter Definition
Time Last Cleared A time stamp indicating the last time statistics were reset.
Link Status Indicates whether the Ethernet link is receiving a valid Ethernet signal
(carrier) from the attached Ethernet device; up means present, and down
means not present.
Rx Packets Number of packets received since the last counter reset.
Rx Bytes Number of bytes received since the last counter reset.
Tx Packets Number of packets transmitted since the last counter reset.
Tx Bytes Number of bytes transmitted since the last counter reset.
Rx Total Errors Total number of receive errors.
Rx FCS Number of packets with a FCS error. FCS errors indicate frame corruption
during transmission.
Rx Alignment Number of packets with received incomplete frames.
Rx Runts Measures undersized packets with bad CRC errors.
Rx Shorts Measures undersized packets with good CRC errors.
Rx Jabbers The total number of frames received that exceed the 1548-byte maximum
and contain CRC errors.
Rx Giants Number of packets received that are greater than 1530 bytes in length.
Rx Pause Frames Number of received Ethernet IEEE 802.3z pause frames.
Tx Pause Frames Number of transmitted IEEE 802.3z pause frames.
Rx Pkts Dropped Internal
Congestion
Number of received packets dropped due to overflow in G-Series frame
buffer.
Tx Pkts Dropped Internal
Congestion
Number of transmit queue drops due to drops in the G-Series frame buffer.
HDLC Errors High-level data link control (HDLC) errors received from SONET/SDH
(see Note).

Chapter 15 Performance Monitoring
15.6.2 G-Series Ethernet Card Performance Monitoring Parameters
Note Do not use the HDLC errors counter to count the number of frames dropped because of HDLC errors,
because each frame can fragment into several smaller frames during HDLC error conditions and spurious
HDLC frames can be generated. If HDLC error counters are incrementing when no SONET path
problems should be present, it might indicate a problem with the quality of the SONET path. For
example, a SONET protection switch generates a set of HDLC errors. However, the actual values of these
counters are less significant than the fact that they are changing.
15.6.2.2 G-Series Ethernet Utilization Window
The Utilization window shows the percentage of Tx and Rx line bandwidth used by the Ethernet ports
during consecutive time segments. The Mode field displays the real-time mode status, such as 100 Full,
which is the mode setting configured on the G-Series port. However, if the G-Series port is set to
autonegotiate the mode (Auto), this field shows the result of the link negotiation between the G-Series
and the peer Ethernet device attached directly to the G-Series port.
The Utilization window provides an Interval drop-down list that enables you to set time intervals of
1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line utilization is calculated with the following formulas:
Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction
for the Ethernet port (that is, 1 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for G-Series Ethernet cards is shown in
Table 15-14.
Note Line utilization numbers express the average of ingress and egress traffic as a percentage of capacity.
Note Unlike the E-Series, the G-Series card does not have a display of Trunk Utilization statistics, because
the G-Series card is not a Layer 2 device or switch.
Rx Unicast Packets Number of unicast packets received since the last counter reset.
Tx Unicast Packets Number of unicast packets transmitted.
Rx Multicast Packets Number of multicast packets received since the last counter reset.
Tx Multicast Packets Number of multicast packets transmitted.
Rx Broadcast Packets Number of broadcast packets received since the last counter reset.
Tx Broadcast Packets Number or broadcast packets transmitted.

previous time intervals as shown in Table 15-15 on page 15-31. The listed parameters are defined in
Table 15-16 on page 15-32.
15.6.3 ML-Series Ethernet Card Performance Monitoring Parameters
CTC provides Ethernet performance information for line-level parameters and historical Ethernet
statistics. The ML-Series Ethernet performance information is divided into the Ether Ports,
Packet-over-SONET (POS) Ports, and RPR Span tabbed windows within the card view Performance tab
window. These tabs may vary depending on the card selected.
15.6.3.1 ML-Series Ether Ports Statistics Window
The Ethernet Ether Ports Statistics window lists Ethernet parameters at the line level. The Statistics
window provides buttons to change the statistical values shown. The Baseline button resets the displayed
statistics values to zero. The Refresh button manually refreshes statistics. Auto-Refresh sets a time
interval at which automatic refresh occurs. The ML-Series Statistics window also has a Clear button. The
Clear button sets the values on the card to zero, but does not reset the ML-Series card.
During each automatic cycle, whether auto-refreshed or manually refreshed (using the Refresh button),
statistics are added cumulatively and are not immediately adjusted to equal total received packets until
testing ends. To see the final PM count totals, allow a few moments for the PM window statistics to finish
testing and update fully. PM counts are also listed in the ML-Series card Performance > History window.

15.6.4 CE-Series Ethernet Card Performance Monitoring Parameters
15.6.4.1 CE-Series Card Ether Port Statistics Window
The Ethernet Ether Ports Statistics window lists Ethernet parameters at the line level. The Statistics
window provides buttons to change the statistical values shown. The Baseline button resets the displayed
statistics values to zero. The Refresh button manually refreshes statistics. Auto-Refresh sets a time
interval at which automatic refresh occurs. The CE-Series Statistics window also has a Clear button. The
Clear button sets the values on the card to zero, but does not reset the CE-Series card.
During each automatic cycle, whether auto-refreshed or manually refreshed (using the Refresh button),
statistics are added cumulatively and are not immediately adjusted to equal total received packets until
testing ends. To see the final PM count totals, allow a few moments for the PM window statistics to finish
testing and update fully. PM counts are also listed in the CE-Series card Performance > History window.
Table 15-21 defines the CE-Series card Ethernet port parameters.

15.6.4.2 CE-Series Card Ether Ports Utilization Window
The Ether Ports Utilization window shows the percentage of Tx and Rx line bandwidth used by the
Ethernet ports during consecutive time segments. The Utilization window provides an Interval
drop-down list that enables you to set time intervals of 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line
utilization is calculated with the following formulas:
Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction
for the Ethernet port (that is, 1 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for CE-Series Ethernet cards is shown in
Table 15-14.

15.8 Performance Monitoring for Optical Multirate Cards
Note If the CV-L(NE and FE) falls in a specific range, then, the user might see discrepancy in the SES and the
UAS-L values. However, ES-L will be in the nearest accuracy. For a few seconds, in a given 10 seconds
interval, the number of CV-L counted may not cross the CV count criteria for SES, (due to
system/application limitation for the below mentioned ranges); as a consequence of which there may not
be 10 continuous SES, thus UAS will not be observed. The corresponding (error) range for the line rates
is as shown in Table 15-26.

15.9.1 FC_MR-4 Statistics Window
CTC provides FC_MR-4 performance information, including line-level parameters, port bandwidth
consumption, and historical statistics. The FC_MR-4 card performance information is divided into the
Statistics, Utilization, and History tabbed windows within the card view Performance tab window.
15.9.1 FC_MR-4 Statistics Window
The Statistics window lists parameters at the line level. The Statistics window provides buttons to change
the statistical values shown. The Baseline button resets the displayed statistics values to zero. The
Refresh button manually refreshes statistics. Auto-Refresh sets a time interval at which automatic
refresh occurs. The Statistics window also has a Clear button. The Clear button sets the values on the
card to zero. All counters on the card are cleared. Table 15-28 defines the FC_MR-4 card statistics
parameters.

15.9.2 FC_MR-4 Utilization Window
15.9.2 FC_MR-4 Utilization Window
The Utilization window shows the percentage of Tx and Rx line bandwidth used by the ports during
consecutive time segments. The Utilization window provides an Interval drop-down list that enables you
to set time intervals of 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line utilization is calculated with the
following formulas:
Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 24) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 24) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction
for the port (that is, 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for FC_MR-4 cards is shown in Table 15-29.

16.1 SNMP Overview
SNMP is an application-layer communication protocol that allows ONS 15454 network devices to
exchange management information among these systems and with other devices outside the network.
Through SNMP, network administrators can manage network performance, find and solve network
problems, and plan network growth. Up to 10 SNMP trap destinations and five concurrent Cisco
Transport Controller (CTC) user sessions are allowed per node.
The ONS 15454 uses SNMP for asynchronous event notification to a network management system
(NMS). Cisco ONS system SNMP implementation uses standard Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) management information bases (MIBs) to convey node-level inventory, fault, and performance
management information for generic DS-1, DS-3, SONET, and Ethernet read-only management. SNMP
allows a generic SNMP manager such as HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) or Open
Systems Interconnection (OSI) NetExpert to be utilized for limited management functions.
The Cisco ONS 15454 supports SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) and SNMP Version 2c (SNMPv2c). These
versions share many features, but SNMPv2c includes additional protocol operations and 64-bit
performance monitoring support. This chapter describes both versions and gives SNMP configuration
parameters for the ONS 15454.

16.2 Basic SNMP Components
Note It is recommended that the SNMP Manager timeout value be set to 60 seconds. Under certain conditions,
if this value is lower than the recommended time, the TCC card can reset. However, the response time
depends on various parameters such as object being queried, complexity, and number of hops in the
node, etc.
Note In Software Release 8.0 and later, you can retrieve automatic in service (AINS) state and soak time
through the SNMP and Transaction Language One (TL1) interfaces.
Note The CERENT-MSDWDM-MIB.mib, CERENT-FC-MIB.mib, and CERENT-GENERIC-PM-MIB.mib
in the CiscoV2 directory support 64-bit performance monitoring counters. The SNMPv1 MIB in the
CiscoV1 directory does not contain 64-bit performance monitoring counters, but supports the lower and
higher word values of the corresponding 64-bit counter. The other MIB files in the CiscoV1 and CiscoV2
directories are identical in content and differ only in format.
Figure 16-1 illustrates the basic layout idea of an SNMP-managed network.
Figure 16-1 Basic Network Managed by SNMP
16.2 Basic SNMP Components
In general terms, an SNMP-managed network consists of a management system, agents, and managed
devices.
A management system such as HP OpenView executes monitoring applications and controls managed
devices. Management systems execute most of the management processes and provide the bulk of
memory resources used for network management. Additionally, a network might be managed by one or
several management systems. Figure 16-2 illustrates the relationship between the network manager, the
SNMP agent, and the managed devices.

16.2 Basic SNMP Components
Figure 16-2 Example of the Primary SNMP Components
An agent (such as SNMP) residing on each managed device translates local management information
data—such as performance information or event and error information caught in software traps—into a
readable form for the management system. Figure 16-3 illustrates SNMP agent get-requests that
transport data to the network management software.
Figure 16-3 Agent Gathering Data from a MIB and Sending Traps to the Manager
The SNMP agent captures data from MIBs, which are device parameter and network data repositories,
or from error or change traps.
A managed element—such as a router, access server, switch, bridge, hub, computer host, or network
element (such as an ONS 15454)—is accessed through the SNMP agent. Managed devices collect and
store management information, making it available through SNMP to other management systems having
the same protocol compatibility.

16.3 SNMP External Interface Requirement
16.3 SNMP External Interface Requirement
Since all SNMP requests come from a third-party application, the only external interface requirement is
that a third-party SNMP client application should have the ability to upload RFC 3273 SNMP MIB
variables in the etherStatsHighCapacityTable, etherHistoryHighCapacityTable, or
mediaIndependentTable.
16.4 SNMP Version Support
The ONS 15454 supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps and get requests. The ONS 15454 SNMP MIBs
define alarms, traps, and status. Through SNMP, NMS applications can query a management agent for
data from functional entities such as Ethernet switches and SONET multiplexers using a supported MIB.
Note ONS 15454 MIB files in the CiscoV1 and CiscoV2 directories are almost identical in content except for
the difference in 64-bit performance monitoring features. The CiscoV2 directory contains three MIBs
with 64-bit performance monitoring counters:. CERENT-MSDWDM-MIB.mib, CERENT-FC-MIB.mib,
and CERENT-GENERIC-PM-MIB.mib The CiscoV1 directory does not contain any 64-bit counters, but
it does support the lower and higher word values used in 64-bit counters. The two directories also have
somewhat different formats.
16.5 SNMP Message Types
The ONS 15454 SNMP agent communicates with an SNMP management application using SNMP
messages. Table 16-1 describes these messages.
Table 16-1 ONS 15454 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 Replies to a get-request, get-next-request, get-bulk-request, or set-request sent by
an NMS.
get-bulk-request Fills the get-response with up to the max-repetition number of get-next interactions,
similar to a get-next-request.
set-request Provides remote network monitoring (RMON) MIB.
trap Indicates that an event has occurred. An unsolicited message is sent by an SNMP
agent to an SNMP manager.

16.6 SNMP Management Information Bases
16.6 SNMP Management Information Bases
A managed object, sometimes called a MIB object, is one of many specific characteristics of a managed
device. The MIB consists of hierarchically organized object instances (variables) that are accessed by
network-management protocols such as SNMP. Section 16.6.1 lists the IETF standard MIBs
implemented in the ONS 15454 SNMP agent. Section 16.6.2 lists the proprietary MIBs implemented
in the ONS 15454.
16.6.1 IETF-Standard MIBs for the ONS 15454
Table 16-2 lists the IETF-standard MIBs implemented in the ONS 15454 SNMP agents.
You must first compile the MIBs in Table 16-2. Compile the Table 16-3 MIBs next.

16.6.3 Generic Threshold and Performance Monitoring MIBs
16.6.3 Generic Threshold and Performance Monitoring MIBs
A MIB called CERENT-GENERIC-PM-MIB allows network management stations (NMS) to use a
single, generic MIB for accessing threshold and performance monitoring data of different interface
types. The MIB is generic in the sense that it is not tied to any particular kind of interface. The MIB
objects can be used to obtain threshold values, current performance monitoring (PM) counts, and historic
PM statistics for each kind of monitor and any supported interval at the near end and far end.
Previously existing MIBs in the ONS 15454 system provide some of these counts. For example, SONET
interface 15-minute current PM counts and historic PM statistics are available using the SONET-MIB.
DS-1 and DS-3 counts and statistics are available through the DS1-MIB and DS-3 MIB respectively. The
generic MIB provides these types of information and also fetches threshold values and single-day
statistics. In addition, the MIB supports optics and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
threshold and performance monitoring information.
The CERENT-GENERIC-PM-MIB is organized into three different tables:
• cerentGenericPmThresholdTable
• cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentTable
• cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalTable
• The cerentGenericPmThresholdTable is used to obtain the threshold values for the monitor types. It
is indexed based on the following items:
• Interface index (cerentGenericPmThresholdIndex)
• Monitor type (cerentGenericPmThresholdMonType). The syntax of
cerentGenericPmThresholdMonType is type cerentMonitorType, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
• Location (cerentGenericPmThresholdLocation). The syntax of cerentGenericPmThresholdLocation
is type cerentLocation, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
• Time period (cerentGenericPmThresholdPeriod). The syntax of cerentGenericPmThresholdPeriod
is type cerentPeriod, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
Threshold values can be provided in 64-bit and 32-bit formats. (For more information about 64-bit
counters, see the “16.10.2 HC-RMON-MIB Support” section on page 16-18.) The 64-bit values in
cerentGenericPmThresholdHCValue can be used with agents that support SNMPv2. The two 32-bit
values (cerentGenericPmThresholdValue and cerentGenericPmThresholdOverFlowValue) can be used
by NMSs that only support SNMPv1. The objects compiled in the cerentGenericPmThresholdTable are
shown in Table 16-4.
The second table within the MIB, cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentTable, compiles the current performance
monitoring (PM) values for the monitor types. The table is indexed based on interface index
(cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentIndex), monitor type (cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentMonType), location
(cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentLocation) and time period (cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentPeriod). The

syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentIndex is type cerentLocation, defined in CERENT-TC.mib. The
syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentMonType is type cerentMonitor, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
The syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentPeriod is type cerentPeriod, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
The cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentTable validates the current PM value using the
cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentValid object and registers the number of valid intervals with historical PM
statistics in the cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentValidIntervals object.
PM values are provided in 64-bit and 32-bit formats. The 64-bit values in
cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentHCValue can be used with agents that support SNMPv2. The two 32-bit
values (cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentValue and cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentOverFlowValue) can be
used by NMS that only support SNMPv1. The cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentTable is shown in
Table 16-5.
The third table in the MIB, cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalTable, obtains historic PM values for the
monitor types. It validates the current PM value in the cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalValid object. This
table is indexed based on interface index (cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalIndex), monitor type
(cerentGenericPMStatsIntervalMonType), location (cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalLocation), and period
(cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalPeriod). The syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalIndex is type
cerentLocation, defined in CERENT-TC.mib. The syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalMonType is
type cerentMonitor, defined in CERENT-TC.mib. The syntax of cerentGernicPmStatsIntervalPeriod is
type cerentPeriod, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
The table provides historic PM values in 64-bit and 32-bit formats. The 64-bit values contained in the
cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalHCValue table can be used with SNMPv2 agents. The two 32-bit values
(cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalValue and cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalOverFlowValue) can be used by
SNMPv1 NMS. The cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalTable is shown in Table 16-6.

• Object IDs that uniquely identify each event with information about the generating entity (the slot
or port; synchronous transport signal [STS] and Virtual Tributary [VT]; bidirectional line switched

16.8 SNMP Community Names
16.8 SNMP Community Names
Community names are used to group SNMP trap destinations. All ONS 15454 trap destinations can be
provisioned as part of SNMP communities in CTC. When community names are assigned to traps, the
ONS 15454 treats the request as valid if the community name matches one that is provisioned in CTC.
In this case, all agent-managed MIB variables are accessible to that request. If the community name does
not match the provisioned list, SNMP drops the request.
16.9 Proxy Over Firewalls
SNMP and NMS applications have traditionally been unable to cross firewalls used for isolating security
risks inside or from outside networks. CTC enables network operations centers (NOCs) to access
performance monitoring data such as RMON statistics or autonomous messages across firewalls by
using an SNMP proxy element installed on a firewall.
The application-level proxy transports SNMP protocol data units (PDU) between the NMS and NEs,
allowing requests and responses between the NMS and NEs and forwarding NE autonomous messages
to the NMS. The proxy agent requires little provisioning at the NOC and no additional provisioning at
the NEs.
The firewall proxy is intended for use in a gateway network element-end network element (GNE-ENE)
topology with many NEs through a single NE gateway. Up to 64 SNMP requests (such as get, getnext,
or getbulk) are supported at any time behind single or multiple firewalls. The proxy interoperates with
common NMS such as HP OpenView.
For security reasons, the SNMP proxy feature must be enabled at all receiving and transmitting NEs to
function. For instructions to do this, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
16.10 Remote Monitoring
The ONS 15454 incorporates RMON to allow network operators to monitor Ethernet card performance
and events. The RMON thresholds are user-provisionable in CTC. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide for instructions.
Note Typical RMON operations, other than threshold provisioning, are invisible to the CTC user.

16.10.1 64-Bit RMON Monitoring over DCC
ONS 15454 system RMON is based on the IETF-standard MIB RFC 2819 and includes the following
five groups from the standard MIB: Ethernet Statistics, History Control, Ethernet History, Alarm, and
Event.
Certain statistics measured on the ML card are mapped to standard MIB if one exists else mapped to a
non standard MIB variable. The naming convention used by the standarad/non-standard MIB is not the
same as the statistics variable used by the card. Hence when these statistics are obtained via
get-reques/get-next-request/SNMP Trap they don’t match the name used on the card or as seen by
CTC/TL1.
• For ex: STATS_MediaIndStatsRxFramesTooLong stats is mapped to
cMediaIndependentInFramesTooLong variable in CERENT MIB. STATS_RxTotalPkts is mapped to
mediaIndependentInPkts in HC-RMON-rfc3273.mib
16.10.1 64-Bit RMON Monitoring over DCC
The ONS 15454 DCC is implemented over the IP protocol, which is not compatible with Ethernet. The
system builds Ethernet equipment History and Statistics tables using high data level control (HDLC)
statistics that are gathered over the data communications channel (DCC) that is running point-to-point
protocol (PPP). RMON DCC monitors the health of remote DCC connections for IP and Ethernet.
RMON DCC contains two MIBS for DCC interfaces. They are:
• cMediaIndependentTable—standard, RFC3273; the proprietary extension of the HC-RMON MIB
used for reporting statistics
• cMediaIndependentHistoryTable—proprietary MIB used to support history
16.10.1.1 Row Creation in MediaIndependentTable
The SetRequest PDU contains all needed values to activate a row of the mediaIndependentTable in a
single operation as well as assign the status variable to createRequest (2). In order to create the row and
status, the SetRequest PDU for entry creation must have a value of zero for each of the object IDs. That
is, all object IDs (OIDs) should be of the type OID.0.
In order to create a row, the SetRequest PDU should contain the following:
• mediaIndependentDataSource and its desired value
• mediaIndependentOwner and its desired value (up to 32 characters)
• mediaIndependentStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
The mediaIndependentTable creates a row if the SetRequest PDU is valid according to these rules. The
SNMP agent decides the value of mediaIndependentIndex when the row is created, and a value can
change if an Ethernet interface is added or deleted. The values are not sequentially allotted or
contiguously numbered. The newly created row will have an mediaIndependentTable value of valid (1).
If the row already exists, or if the SetRequest PDU values are insufficient or do not make sense, the
SNMP agent returns an error code.
Note mediaIndependentTable entries are not preserved if the SNMP agent is restarted.
The mediaIndependentTable deletes a row if the SetRequest PDU contains a mediaIndependentStatus
with a value of invalid (4). The varbind’s OID instance value identifies the row for deletion. You can
recreate a deleted row in the table if desired.

16.10.1.2 Row Creation in cMediaIndependentHistoryControlTable
SNMP row creation and deletion for the cMediaIndependentHistoryControlTable follows the same
processes as for the MediaIndependentTable; only the variables differ. In order to create a row, the
SetRequest PDU should contain the following:
• cMediaIndependentHistoryControlDataSource and its desired value
• cMediaIndependentHistoryControlOwner and its desired value
• cMediaIndependentHistoryControlStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
16.10.2 HC-RMON-MIB Support
For the ONS 15454, the implementation of the high-capacity remote monitoring information base
(HC-RMON-MIB, or RFC 3273) enables 64-bit support of existing RMON tables. This support is
provided with the etherStatsHighCapacityTable and the etherHistoryHighCapacityTable. An additional
table, the mediaIndependentTable, and an additional object, hcRMONCapabilities, are also added for
this support. All of these elements are accessible by any third-party SNMP client should have the ability
to upload RFC 3273 SNMP MIB variables in the etherStatsHighCapacityTable,
etherHistoryHighCapacityTable, or mediaIndependentTable.
16.10.3 Ethernet Statistics RMON Group
The Ethernet Statistics group contains the basic statistics monitored for each subnetwork in a single table
called the etherStatsTable.
16.10.3.1 Row Creation in etherStatsTable
The SetRequest PDU for creating a row in this table contains all needed values to activate a table row in
a single operation as well as assign the status variable to createRequest. The SetRequest PDU OID)
entries must have an instance value, or type OID, of 0.
In order to create a row, the SetRequest PDU should contain the following:
• The etherStatsDataSource and its desired value
• The etherStatsOwner and its desired value (up to 32 characters)
• The etherStatsStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
The etherStatsTable creates a row if the SetRequest PDU is valid according to these rules. The SNMP
agent decides the value of etherStatsIndex when the row is created and this value changes when an
Ethernet interface is added or deleted; it is not sequentially allotted or contiguously numbered. A newly
created row will have an etherStatsStatus value of valid (1). If the etherStatsTable row already exists, or
if the SetRequest PDU values are insufficient or do not make sense, the SNMP agent returns an error
code.
Note EtherStatsTable entries are not preserved if the SNMP agent is restarted.

16.10.3.2 Get Requests and GetNext Requests
Get requests and getNext requests for the etherStatsMulticastPkts and etherStatsBroadcastPkts columns
return a value of zero because the variables are not supported by ONS 15454 Ethernet cards.
16.10.3.3 Row Deletion in etherStatsTable
To delete a row in the etherStatsTable, the SetRequest PDU should contain an etherStatsStatus “invalid”
value (4). The OID marks the row for deletion. If required, a deleted row can be recreated.
16.10.3.4 64-Bit etherStatsHighCapacityTable
The Ethernet statistics group contains 64-bit statistics in the etherStatsHighCapacityTable, which
provides 64-bit RMON support for the HC-RMON-MIB. The etherStatsHighCapacityTable is an
extension of the etherStatsTable that adds 16 new columns for performance monitoring data in 64-bit
format. There is a one-to-one relationship between the etherStatsTable and etherStatsHighCapacityTable
when rows are created or deleted in either table.
16.10.4 History Control RMON Group
The History Control group defines sampling functions for one or more monitor interfaces in the
historyControlTable. The values in this table, as specified in RFC 2819, are derived from the
historyControlTable and etherHistoryTable.
16.10.4.1 History Control Table
The RMON is sampled at one of four possible intervals. Each interval, or period, contains specific
history values called buckets. Table 16-9 lists the four sampling periods and corresponding buckets.
The historyControlTable maximum row size is determined by multiplying the number of ports on a card
by the number of sampling periods. For example, an ONS 15454 E100 card contains 24 ports, which
multiplied by periods allows 96 rows in the table. An E1000 card contains 14 ports, which multiplied by
four periods allows 56 table rows.
16.10.4.2 Row Creation in historyControlTable
To activate a historyControlTable row, the SetRequest PDU must contain all needed values and have a
status variable value of 2 (createRequest). All OIDs in the SetRequest PDU should be type OID.0 for
entry creation.

16.10.5 Ethernet History RMON Group
To create a SetRequest PDU for the historyControlTable, the following values are required:
• The historyControlDataSource and its desired value
• The historyControlBucketsRequested and it desired value
• The historyControlInterval and its desired value
• The historyControlOwner and its desired value
• The historyControlStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
The historyControlBucketsRequested OID value is ignored because the number of buckets allowed for
each sampling period, based upon the historyControlInterval value, is already fixed as listed in
Table 16-9.
The historyControlInterval value cannot be changed from the four allowed choices. If you use another
value, the SNMP agent selects the closest smaller time period from the set buckets. For example, if the
set request specifies a 25-minute interval, this falls between the 15-minute (32 bucket) variable and the
60-minute (24 bucket) variable. The SNMP agent automatically selects the lower, closer value, which is
15 minutes, so it allows 32 buckets.
If the SetRequest PDU is valid, a historyControlTable row is created. If the row already exists, or if the
SetRequest PDU values do not make sense or are insufficient, the SNMP agent does not create the row
and returns an error code.
16.10.4.3 Get Requests and GetNext Requests
These PDUs are not restricted.
16.10.4.4 Row Deletion in historyControl Table
To delete a row from the table, the SetRequest PDU should contain a historyControlStatus value of 4
(invalid). A deleted row can be recreated.
16.10.5 Ethernet History RMON Group
The ONS 15454 implements the etherHistoryTable as defined in RFC 2819. The group is created within
the bounds of the historyControlTable and does not deviate from the RFC in its design.
16.10.5.1 64-Bit etherHistoryHighCapacityTable
64-bit Ethernet history for the HC-RMON-MIB is implemented in the etherHistoryHighCapacityTable,
which is an extension of the etherHistoryTable. The etherHistoryHighCapacityTable adds four columns
for 64-bit performance monitoring data. These two tables have a one-to-one relationship. Adding or
deleting a row in one table will effect the same change in the other.
16.10.6 Alarm RMON Group
The Alarm group consists of the alarmTable, which periodically compares sampled values with
configured thresholds and raises an event if a threshold is crossed. This group requires the
implementation of the event group, which follows this section.

16.10.6.1 Alarm Table
The NMS uses the alarmTable to determine and provision network performance alarmable thresholds.
16.10.6.2 Row Creation in alarmTable
To create a row in the alarmTable, all OIDs in the SetRequest PDU should be type OID.0. The table has
a maximum number of 256 rows.
To create a SetRequest PDU for the alarmTable, the following values are required:
• The alarmInterval and its desired value
• The alarmVariable and its desired value
• The alarmSampleType and its desired value
• The alarmStartupAlarm and its desired value
• The alarmOwner and its desired value
• The alarmStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
If the SetRequest PDU is valid, a historyControlTable row is created. If the row already exists, or if the
SetRequest PDU values do not make sense or are insufficient, the SNMP agent does not create the row
and returns an error code.
In addition to the required values, the following restrictions must be met in the SetRequest PDU:
• The alarmOwner is a string of length 32 characters.
• The alarmRisingEventIndex always takes value 1.
• The alarmFallingEventIndex always takes value 2.
• The alarmStatus has only two values supported in SETs: createRequest (2) and invalid (4).
• The AlarmVariable is of the type OID.ifIndex, where ifIndex gives the interface this alarm is created
on and OID is one of the OIDs supported in Table 16-10.

16.10.7 Event RMON Group
16.10.7 Event RMON Group
The Event group controls event generation and notification. It consists of two tables: the eventTable,
which is a read-only list of events to be generated, and the logTable, which is a writable set of data
describing a logged event. The ONS 15454 implements the logTable as specified in RFC 2819.
16.10.7.1 Event Table
The eventTable is read-only and unprovisionable. The table contains one row for rising alarms and
another for falling ones. This table has the following restrictions:
• The eventType is always log-and-trap (4).
• The eventCommunity value is always a zero-length string, indicating that this event causes the trap
to be despatched to all provisioned destinations.
• The eventOwner column value is always “monitor.”
• The eventStatus column value is always valid(1).
16.10.7.2 Log Table
The logTable is implemented exactly as specified in RFC 2819. The logTable is based upon data that is
locally cached in a controller card. If there is a controller card protection switch, the existing logTable
is cleared and a new one is started on the newly active controller card. The table contains as many rows
as provided by the alarm controller.

Administrative and Service States
This appendix describes administrative and service states for Cisco ONS 15454 cards, ports, and
cross-connects. For circuit state information, refer to Chapter 11, “Circuits and Tunnels.” Entity states
in Software Release 5.0 and later are based on the generic state model defined in
Telcordia GR-1093-CORE, Issue 2 and ITU-T X.731.
This appendix contains the following sections:
• B.1 Service States, page B-1
• B.2 Administrative States, page B-2
• B.3 Service State Transitions, page B-3
B.1 Service States
Service states include a Primary State (PST), a Primary State Qualifier (PSTQ), and one or more
Secondary States (SST). Table B-1 lists the service state PSTs and PSTQs supported by the ONS 15454.
Table B-2 defines the SSTs supported by the ONS 15454.
Table B-1 ONS 15454 Service State Primary States and Primary State Qualifiers
Primary State, Primary
State Qualifier Definition
IS-NR (In-Service and Normal) The entity is fully operational and will perform as
provisioned.
OOS-AU (Out-of-Service and Autonomous) The entity is not operational because of
an autonomous event.
OOS-AUMA (Out-of-Service and Autonomous Management) The entity is not operational
because of an autonomous event and has also been manually removed from
service.
OOS-MA (Out-of-Service and Management) The entity has been manually removed
from service.

Appendix B Administrative and Service States
B.2 Administrative States
B.2 Administrative States
Administrative states are used to manage service states. Administrative states consist of a PST and an
SST. Table B-3 lists the administrative states supported by the ONS 15454. See Table B-2 for SST
definitions.
Note A change in the administrative state of an entity does not change the service state of supporting or
supported entities.
Table B-2 ONS 15454 Secondary States
Secondary State Definition
AINS (Automatic In-Service) The entity is delayed before transitioning to the IS-NR
service state. The transition to IS-NR depends on the correction of conditions, or
on a soak timer. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried. Raised fault
conditions, whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC
Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.
DSBLD (Disabled) The entity was manually removed from service and does not provide its
provisioned functions. All services are disrupted; the entity is unable to carry
traffic.
Note OC-N ports and connections in the DSBLD state continue to send an Alarm
Indication Signal Line (AIS-L).
FLT (Fault) The entity has a raised alarm or condition.
LPBK (Loopback) The entity is in loopback mode.
MEA (Mismatched Equipment) An improper card is installed. For example, an installed
card is not compatible with the card preprovisioning or the slot. This SST applies
only to cards.
MT (Maintenance) The entity has been manually removed from service for a
maintenance activity but still performs its provisioned functions. Alarm reporting
is suppressed, but traffic is carried. Raised fault conditions, whether or not their
alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the
TL1 RTRV-COND command.
OOG (Out of Group) The virtual concatenation (VCAT) member cross-connect is not
used to carry VCAT group traffic. This state is used to put a member circuit out of
the group and to stop sending traffic. OOS-MA,OOG only applies to the
cross-connects on an end node where VCAT resides. The cross-connects on
intermediate nodes are in the OOS-MA,MT service state.
SWDL (Software Download) The card is involved in a software and database download.
This SST applies only to cards.
UAS (Unassigned) The card is not provisioned in the database. This SST applies only to
cards.
UEQ (Unequipped) The card is not physically present (that is, an empty slot). This SST
applies only to cards.

B.3 Service State Transitions
B.3 Service State Transitions
This section describes the transition from one service state to the next for cards, ports, and
cross-connects. A service state transition is based on the action performed on the entity.
Note When an entity is put in the OOS,MT administrative state, the ONS 15454 suppresses all standing alarms
on that entity. All alarms and events appear on the Conditions tab. You can change this behavior for the
LPBKFACILITY and LPBKTERMINAL alarms. To display these alarms on the Alarms tab, set the
NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnOOS-MTPorts to TRUE on the NE Defaults tab.
B.3.1 Card Service State Transitions
Table B-4 lists card service state transitions.
Table B-3 ONS 15454 Administrative States

IS Puts the entity in service.
IS,AINS Puts the entity in automatic in-service.
OOS,DSBLD Removes the entity from service and disables it.
OOS,MT Removes the entity from service for maintenance.
OOS,OOG (VCAT circuits only) Removes a VCAT cross-connect cross-connect
from service and from the group of members.
Note Only CE-100T-8 cards in link capacity adjustment scheme
(LCAS) mode and FC_MR-4 (enhanced mode) cards in
software LCAS (SW-LCAS) mode accept the OOG state.

B.3.2 Port and Cross-Connect Service State Transitions
B.3.2 Port and Cross-Connect Service State Transitions
Table B-5 lists the port and cross-connect service state transitions. Port states do not impact
cross-connect states with one exception. A cross-connect in the OOS-AU,AINS service state cannot
transition autonomously into the IS-NR service state until the parent port is in the IS-NR service state.
You cannot transition a port from the IS-NR service state to the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. You
must first put the port in the OOS-MA,MT service state. Once a port is in the OOS-MA,MT state, the
NODE.general.ForceToOosDsbldStateChange default setting of TRUE allows you to put a port in
OOS-MA,DSBLD even if the following conditions exist:
• The port is a timing source.
• The port is used for line, section, or tunneling DCC.
• The port supports 1+1 protection or bidirectional line switched rings (BLSRs).
• Cross-connects are present on the port.
• Overhead connections or overhead terminations are in use (such as express orderwire, local
orderwire, or user data channels [UDCs]).

B.3.2 Port and Cross-Connect Service State Transitions
To change this behavior so that you cannot put a port in OOS-MA,DSBLD if any of these conditions
exist, set the NODE.general.ForceToOosDsbldStateChange default setting to FALSE. For the procedure
to change node defaults, refer to the “Maintain the Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure
Guide.
The following ports do not support all of the service states listed in Table B-5:
• E-Series Ethernet ports do not support service states; these ports are either enabled or disabled.
• FC_MR-4 ports support the IS-NR; OOS-MA,DSBLD; and OOS-MA,MT service states; they do not
support the OOS-AU,AINS service state.
Note Deleting a port or cross-connect removes the entity from the system. The deleted entity does not
transition to another service state.
Note The DS1 port service state on the DS3XM-12 card is based on the DS3 service state.

APPENDIX
C
Network Element Defaults
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This appendix describes the factory-configured (default) network element (NE) settings for the
Cisco ONS 15454. It includes descriptions of card, node, and Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) default
settings. To import, export, or edit the settings, refer to the “Maintain the Node” chapter of the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide. Cards supported by this platform that are not listed in this appendix
are not supported by user-configurable NE defaults settings.
To change card settings individually (that is, without directly changing the NE defaults), refer to the
“Change Card Settings” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide. To change node settings,
refer to the “Change Node Settings” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
This appendix includes the following sections:
• C.1 Network Element Defaults Description, page C-1
• C.2 Card Default Settings, page C-2
• C.3 Node Default Settings, page C-99
• C.4 CTC Default Settings, page C-120
C.1 Network Element Defaults Description
The NE defaults are preinstalled on each Cisco ONS 15454 Advanced Timing, Communications, and
Control (TCC2) and Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control Plus (TCC2P) card. Cisco also
ships a file named 15454-defaults.txt on the CTC software CD in case you want to import the defaults
onto existing TCC2/TCC2P cards. The NE defaults include card-level, CTC, and node-level defaults.
Changes to card provisioning that are made manually using the procedures in the “Change Card
Settings” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide override default settings. If you use the CTC
Defaults editor (on the node view Provisioning > Defaults tab) or import a new defaults file, any changes
to card or port settings that result only affect cards that are installed or preprovisioned after the defaults
have changed.

Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual, R8.5.x
78-18106-01
Appendix C Network Element Defaults
C.2 Card Default Settings
Changes that are made manually to most node-level default settings override the current settings,
whether default or provisioned. If you change node-level default settings, either by using the Defaults
editor or by importing a new defaults file, the new defaults reprovision the node immediately for all
settings except those relating to protection (1+1 bidirectional switching, 1+1 reversion time, 1+1
revertive switching, bidirectional line switched ring [BLSR] ring reversion time, BLSR ring revertive
switching, BLSR span reversion time, and BLSR span revertive switching). Settings relating to
protection apply to subsequent provisioning.
Note Changing some node-level provisioning through NE defaults can cause CTC disconnection or a
reboot of the node in order for the provisioning to take effect. Before you change a default, check
in the Side Effects column of the Defaults editor (right-click a column header and select
Show Column > Side Effects) and be prepared for the occurrence of any side effects listed for
that default.
C.2 Card Default Settings
The tables in this section list the default settings for each SONET card. Cisco provides several types of
user-configurable defaults for Cisco ONS 15454 optical, electrical, storage access networking, and
Ethernet (or data) cards. Types of card defaults can be broadly grouped by function, as outlined in the
following subsections. For information about individual card settings, refer to the “Change Card
Settings” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
Note To view DWDM card defaults consult the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.
Note When the card level defaults are changed, the new provisioning done after the defaults have changed is
affected. Existing provisioning remains unaffected.
The following types of defaults are defined for SONET cards.
C.2.1 Configuration Defaults
Most card-level and port-level configuration defaults correspond to settings found in the CTC card-level
Provisioning tabs.
Note The full set of Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) configuration defaults can be found in the CTC
card-level Maintenance > ALS tab for supported cards. ALS defaults are supported for OC3-8,
OC-48ELR, OC-192, OC192-XFP, MRC-2.5G-4, and MRC-12 cards.
Configuration defaults that correspond to settings that are reachable from the CTC card-level
Provisioning tabs (except as noted) include the following types of options (arranged by CTC subtab):
• Line—(DS-N, EC1-12, OC-N, MRC-12, MRC-2.5G-4, G-series, and CE-series cards) Line-level
configuration settings.

Appendix C Network Element Defaults
C.2.2 Threshold Defaults
Note MRC-12 and MRC-2.5G-4 line configuration defaults are defined on a per OC-N rate basis.
• SONET STS—(OC-N and EC1-12 cards) SONET STS-level configuration settings.
• Port—(FC_MR-4 cards only) Port line-level configuration, distance extension, and enhanced
FC/FICON ISL settings.
• Card—(DS1/E1-56, ML-series, and FC_MR-4 cards) Transport mode, operating mode,
enable/disable retiming, and port to Virtual Tributary (VT) mapping standard settings (DS1/E1-56
only); or FC_MR-4 card mode settings (FC_MR-4 only); or framing mode (ML-series cards).
• DS1—(DS3XM-12 cards only) DS-1 rate virtual port-level line configuration settings.
• Broadband Ports—(DS3/EC1-48 cards only) Set the port rate as DS3, EC1, or unassigned (DS3 is
the default).
• DS3—(DS3/EC1-48 cards only) DS-3 rate port-level line configuration settings.
• EC1—(DS3/EC1-48 cards only) EC-1 rate port-level line configuration, section trace, and SONET
STS settings.
• ALS (card-level Maintenance > ALS tab)—(OC3-8, OC-48ELR, OC-192, OC192-XFP,
MRC-2.5G-4, and MRC-12 cards) ALS configuration defaults.
• IOS (card-level IOS tab)—(ML-series and RAN-SVC cards) Console port and RADIUS server
access settings.
• Ether Ports—(CE-series cards) Line configuration settings (including 802 class of service [IEEE
802.1p CoS] and IP type of service [ToS]).
• POS Ports—(CE-series cards) Line configuration settings.
Note Line configuration defaults for the CE-100T-8 card apply to both Ethernet port and packet-over-SONET
(POS) port settings where the same setting exists for both.
Note For further information about each card, consult the appropriate card reference chapter, that is,Chapter 3,
“Electrical Cards,” Chapter 4, “Optical Cards,” Chapter 5, “Ethernet Cards,” and Chapter 6, “Storage
Access Networking Cards.”
Note For further information about IOS configuration defaults for ML-series cards, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration
Guide.
C.2.2 Threshold Defaults
Threshold default settings define the default cumulative values (thresholds) beyond which a threshold
crossing alert (TCA) will be raised, making it possible to monitor the network and detect errors early.
Card threshold default settings are provided as follows:
• PM thresholds—(DS-N, EC-1, OC-N, MRC-2.5G-4, and MRC-12 cards) Can be expressed in
counts or seconds; includes line, electrical path, and SONET thresholds.

C-4
Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual, R8.5.x
78-18106-01
Appendix C Network Element Defaults
C.2.3 Defaults by Card
• Physical Layer thresholds—(OC3-8, OC-192, OC-192XFP, MRC-2.5G-4, and MRC-12 cards)
Expressed in percentages; includes optics thresholds.
Threshold defaults are defined for near end and/or far end, at 15-minute and one-day intervals.
Thresholds are further broken down by type, such as Section, Line, STS, or VT for performance
monitoring (PM) thresholds, and TCA (warning) or Alarm for physical thresholds. PM threshold types
define the layer to which the threshold applies. Physical threshold types define the level of response
expected when the threshold is crossed.
Note For full descriptions of the thresholds you can set for each card, see Chapter 15, “Performance
Monitoring.”
Note For additional information regarding PM parameter threshold defaults as defined by Telcordia
specifications, refer to Telcordia GR-820-CORE and GR-253-CORE.
C.2.3 Defaults by Card
In the tables that follow, card defaults are defined by the default name, its factory-configured value, and
the domain of allowable values that you can assign to it.
Note Some default values, such as certain thresholds, are interdependent. Before changing a value, review the
domain for that default and any other related defaults for potential dependencies.
C.2.3.1 DS-1 Card Default Settings
Table C-1 lists the DS-1 (DS1-14 and DS1N-14) card default settings.

to be disabled when they are providing services (when the default is set to FALSE users must remove
or disable the services first, then put the ports out of service), and whether to report loopback
conditions on Out-of-Service, Maintenance (OOS-MT) state ports.
• Power Monitor settings—Set default voltage thresholds for the node.
• Network settings—Set whether to prevent display of node IP addresses in CTC (applicable for all
users except Superusers); default gateway node type; whether to raise an alarm when the backplane
LAN cable is disconnected; and whether to display the IP address in the LCD in an editable mode
(in which you can change the IP address directly from LCD screen), to display the IP address on the
LCD as read-only, or to suppress display of the IP on the LCD entirely.
• OSI settings—Set the Open System Interconnection (OSI) main setup, generic routing
encapsulation (GRE) tunnel default, the link access protocol on the D channel (LAP-D), the router
subnet, and the TID address resolution protocol (TARP) settings.
• 1+1 and Optimized 1+1 protection settings—Set whether or not protected circuits have bidirectional
switching, are revertive, and what the reversion time is; set optimized 1+1 detection, recovery, and
verify guard timer values.
Note Optimized 1+1 supports three timers that ensure the correct state of the cards at key points
in card communication. A verification guard timer is used when a Force is issued, to ensure
that the far end has a chance to respond. A detection guard timer is used to ensure the
presence of an SF/SD condition before switching away from a card. A recover guard timer
ensures the absence of SF/SD prior to switching to a card. You can change the default
number of seconds before these timers expire by changing the NE default for the
corresponding timer to a value within its domain of allowable values.
• BLSR protection settings—Set whether BLSR-protected circuits are revertive, and what the
reversion time is, at both the ring and span levels.
• Legal Disclaimer—Set the legal disclaimer that warns users at the login screen about the possible
legal or contractual ramifications of accessing equipment, systems, or networks without
authorization.
• Security Grant Permissions—Set default user security levels for activating/reverting software, PM
data clearing, database restoring, and retrieving audit logs.
• Security DataComm settings—Set default security settings for TCC Ethernet IP address and IP
netmask, and CTC backplane IP suppression; set secure mode on and secure mode locked (for
TCC2P cards only).
Note The secure mode supported setting is not user-configurable; rather, it depends upon the presence
or absence of TCC2P cards on the node for its setting.
• Security Access settings—Set default security settings for LAN access, shell access, serial craft
access, element management system (EMS) access (including Internet Inter-Object Request Broker
Protocol [IIOP] listener port number), TL1 access, and Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) access.
• Security RADIUS settings—Set default RADIUS server settings for the accounting port number and
the authentication port number, and whether to enable the node as a final authenticator.

• Security Policy settings—Set the allowable failed logins before lockout, idle user timeout for each
user level, optional lockout duration or manual unlock enabled, password reuse and change
frequency policies, number of characters difference that is required between the old and new
password, password aging by security level, enforced single concurrent session per user, and option
to disable inactive user after a set inactivity period.
• Security Password settings—Set when passwords can be changed, how many characters they must
differ by, whether or not password reuse is allowed, and whether a password change is required on
first login to a new account; set password aging enforcement and user-level specific aging and
warning periods; set how many consecutive identical characters are allowed in a password,
maximum password length, minimum password length, minimum number and combination of
nonalphabetical characters required, and whether or not to allow a password that is a reversal of the
login ID associated with the password.
• BITS Timing settings—Set the AIS threshold, Admin synchronization status messaging (SSM),
coding, facility type, framing, state, and line build-out (LBO) settings for building integrated timing
supply 1 (BITS-1) and BITS2 timing.
• General Timing settings—Set the mode (External, Line, or Mixed), quality of reserved (RES) timing
(the rule that defines the order of clock quality from lowest to highest), revertive, reversion time,
and SSM message set for node timing.
Note Any node level defaults changed using the Provisioning > Defaults tab, changes existing node level
provisioning. Although this is service affecting, it depends on the type of defaults changed, for example,
general, and all timing and security attributes. The “Changing default values for some node level
attributes overrides the current provisioning.” message is displayed. The Side Effects column of the
Defaults editor (right-click a column header and select Show Column > Side Effects) explains the effect
of changing the default values. However, when the card level defaults are changed using the
Provisioning > Defaults tab, existing card provisioning remains unaffected.
Note For more information about each individual node setting, refer to the “Change Node Settings” chapter
of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

C.4 CTC Default Settings
Table C-23 on page C-121 lists the CTC-level default settings for the Cisco ONS 15454. Cisco provides
the following user-configurable defaults for CTC:
• Automatic Circuit Routing—Set circuit creation with the Route Automatically check box selected
by default.
• Network Circuit Automatic Routing Overridable—Set by default whether or not a user creating
circuits can change (override) the Automatic Circuit Routing setting (also provisionable as a default)
in the CTC Circuit Routing Preferences area. When this default is set to TRUE it enables users to
change whether or not Route Automatically is selected in the check box. When this default is set to
FALSE it ensures that users cannot change the Route Automatically setting while creating circuits
in CTC.
Note When the Route Automatically check box is not selectable (and is not checked) during circuit
creation, the following automatic routing suboptions are also unavailable: Using Required
Nodes/Spans, Review Route Before Creation, and VT-DS3 Mapped Conversion.
• Create TL1-like—Set whether to create only TL1-like circuits; that is, instruct the node to create
only cross-connects, allowing the resulting circuits to be in an upgradable state.
• Network Map—Set the default network map (which country’s map is displayed in CTC network
view).
