Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Software Release 4.6.0

Cisco Systems® announces Cisco® ONS 15454 Software Release 4.6.0 for the industry-leading Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Multiservice Provisioning Platform (MSPP). Cisco ONS 15454 Software Release 4.6.0 increases its multiservice support through the addition of Fibre Channel service interfaces. As well, software consolidation has been completed for the intelligent DWDM functionality (MSTP) with the industry leading MSPP to deliver unprecedented transport capabilities from a single platform.

Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Software Release 4.6.0 Hardware Features and Benefits

Cisco Systems® announces the Cisco® ONS 15454 Software Release 4.6.0. Table 1 outlines the new hardware features supported by this release.

Cisco 15454 SL Series Fibre Channel-over-SDH (FCoS) Card

The Cisco 15454 SL Series FCoS Card enables the support for storage-area-network (SAN) transport over a converged, multiservice SDH network. The 4-port card supports 1- or 2-Gbps Fibre Channel encapsulated using ITU-T G.707 General Framing Procedure (GFP) and transported over contiguously concatenated or virtually concatenated SDH-protected circuits.

10-Gbps multirate transponder card

The 10-Gbps multirate transponder card enables efficient mapping of STM-64 or 10-Gigabit Ethernet LAN physical sublayer (PHY) signals to an ITU-T compliant, 100-GHz spaced, 50-GHz stabilized, tunable, 10-Gbps wavelength for multiplexing over a dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) network. The card uses G.709 digital wrapper technology with provisionable Forward Error Correction (FEC) for improved performance and management capabilities.

4 x STM-16 muxponder card

The 4 x STM-16 muxponder card expands the interface density of the platform, lowering the cost per bit for high-count, 2.5-Gbps interface requirements. Four STM-16 client interfaces are mapped to an ITU-T compliant, 100-GHz spaced, 50-GHz stabilized, tunable, STM-64 wavelength for multiplexing over a DWDM network. Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) client optics provide user flexibility and lower networking cost. The card uses G.709 digital wrapper technology with provisionable FEC for improved performance and management capabilities.

12-port STM-1/E4 electrical card

This card provides 12 cost-effective STM-1 electrical ports per card for high-speed, 155-Mbps carrier interconnection between voice switches, digital cross-connects (DXCs), add/drop multiplexers (ADMs), and other existing network equipment. Four ports can be provisioned to support E4 services. This module is either unprotected or belongs to a 1:1 or 1:3 protection group. Related front-mount electrical connections (FMECs) are released for front access to the connectors.

Feature
Benefit

Consolidated intelligent DWDM and multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP) software image

A consolidated software load allows the Cisco ONS 15454 to be deployed as an MSPP node, a multiservice transport platform (MSTP) intelligent DWDM node, or as a hybrid node. This simplifies networking and operations through a common user interface.

Cisco ONS 15454 ML Series Ethernet Card feature enhancements

Software enhancements enable existing Cisco ONS ML Series 10/100BASE-T and Gigabit Ethernet cards to support virtual concatenation (VCAT), a software-based link capacity adjustment scheme (SW-LCAS), a subinterface, per-VLAN performance statistics, as well as Ethernet over Multiprotocol Label Switching (EoMPLS). These new features expand the network applications supported by the Cisco 15454 ML Series card in addition to simplifying operations.

Cisco ONS 15454 Timing, Communications, and Control Version 2 (TCC2) Processor Card feature enhancements

Software enhancements enable existing TCC2-equipped network elements to support up to 68 data-communications-channel (DCC) terminations, providing hosting of up to 34 subnetwork-connection-protection (SNCP) rings, five multiplex section-shared protection rings (MS-SPRs), or a combination of the two. These enhancements support user-provisionable regenerator section or multiplexer section DCC usage. They further strengthen the networking capabilities of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH and drive significant reductions in capital expenditures (CapEx).

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/optical/ps2006/prod_release_notes_list.html.

Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Software Release 4.6.0 features are incremental additions to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH platform. Cisco ONS hardware and software features previously supported in Release 4.x will continue to be supported unless specified in the Cisco ONS 15454 Software Release 4.6.0 release notes.

Cisco IOS Software Release Information

The Cisco ONS 15454 ML Series cards, which use Cisco IOS® Software to deliver Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions, are provisioned through the Cisco IOS Software command-line interface. Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(20)EO is integrated into Cisco ONS 15454 Software Release 4.6.0, enabling a single, unified software image for installation and operation. The Cisco IOS Software image is not upgradable independently from Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Software.

For details on the capabilities offered by the Cisco IOS Software release on the Cisco ONS 15454 ML Series cards, review the Cisco ONS 15454 Software Release 4.6.0 user documentation, available at:
