Note If a single-rate PPM is installed, the PPM screen will autoprovision and no further steps are necessary.



Note The hardware device that plugs into a TXP or MXP card faceplate to provide a fiber interface to the card is called a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP or XFP). In Cisco Transport Controller (CTC), SFPs and XFPs are called PPMs. SFPs/XFPs are hot-swappable input/output devices that plug into a TXP, MXP, or line card port to link the port with the fiber-optic network. For more information about SFPs and XFPs, refer "Hardware Specifications" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, or the Installing GBIC, SFP and XFP Optics Modules in Cisco ONS 15454, 15454 SDH, 15327, 15600, and 15310-CL Platforms document available in the ONS 15454 production documentation website on www.cisco.com.

A splitter protection group is automatically created when a TXPP_MR_2.5G or MXPP_MR_2.5G card is installed. You can edit the splitter protection group name.


Step 3 Verify that pluggable ports are provisioned for the same payload and payload rate on the TXP and MXP cards where you will create the Y-cable protection group:

a. Display the TXP or MXP card in card view.

b. Click the Provisioning > Pluggable Port Module tabs.

c. Verify that a pluggable port is provisioned in the Pluggable Port Module area, and the payload type and rate is provisioned for it in the Pluggable Ports area. If they are not the same, for example, if the pluggable port and rate are not the same, you must either delete the provisioned rate and create a new rate to match using the "DLP-G273 Preprovision an SFP or XFP Slot" task or replace the pluggable port (SFP or XFP). using the "DLP-G64 Remove an SFP or XFP" task.

Step 4 In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf view), click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.

Step 5 In the Protection Groups area, click Create.

Step 6 In the Create Protection Group dialog box, enter the following:

Step 6 From the Alarm Type drop-down list, indicate whether the event will be triggered by the rising threshold, the falling threshold, or both the rising and falling thresholds.

Step 7 From the Sample Type drop-down list, choose either Relative or Absolute. Relative restricts the threshold to use the number of occurrences in the user-set sample period. Absolute sets the threshold to use the total number of occurrences, regardless of time period.

Step 8 Type in an appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period.

Step 9 Type in the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold.

For a rising type of alarm, the measured value must move from below the falling threshold to above the rising threshold. For example, if a network is running below a rising threshold of 1000 collisions every 15 seconds and a problem causes 1001 collisions in 15 seconds, the excess occurrences trigger an alarm.

Step 10 Enter the appropriate number of occurrences in the Falling Threshold field. In most cases a falling threshold is set lower than the rising threshold.

A falling threshold is the counterpart to a rising threshold. When the number of occurrences is above the rising threshold and then drops below a falling threshold, it resets the rising threshold. For example, when the network problem that caused 1001 collisions in 15 seconds subsides and creates only 799 collisions in 15 seconds, occurrences fall below a falling threshold of 800 collisions. This resets the rising threshold so that if network collisions again spike over a 1000 per 15-second period, an event again triggers when the rising threshold is crossed. An event is triggered only the first time a rising threshold is exceeded (otherwise, a single network problem might cause a rising threshold to be exceeded multiple times and cause a flood of events).

Step 11 Click OK.

Step 12 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Step 6 From the Alarm Type drop-down list, indicate whether the event will be triggered by the rising threshold, the falling threshold, or both the rising and falling thresholds.

Step 7 From the Sample Type drop-down list, choose either Relative or Absolute. Relative restricts the threshold to use the number of occurrences in the user-set sample period. Absolute sets the threshold to use the total number of occurrences, regardless of time period.

Step 8 Type in an appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period.

Step 9 Type in the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold.

For a rising type of alarm, the measured value must move from below the falling threshold to above the rising threshold. For example, if a network is running below a rising threshold of 1000 collisions every 15 seconds and a problem causes 1001 collisions in 15 seconds, the excess occurrences trigger an alarm.

Step 10 Enter the appropriate number of occurrences in the Falling Threshold field. In most cases a falling threshold is set lower than the rising threshold.

A falling threshold is the counterpart to a rising threshold. When the number of occurrences is above the rising threshold and then drops below a falling threshold, it resets the rising threshold. For example, when the network problem that caused 1001 collisions in 15 seconds subsides and creates only 799 collisions in 15 seconds, occurrences fall below a falling threshold of 800 collisions. This resets the rising threshold so that if network collisions again spike over a 1000 per 15-second period, an event again triggers when the rising threshold is crossed. An event is triggered only the first time a rising threshold is exceeded (otherwise, a single network problem might cause a rising threshold to be exceeded multiple times and cause a flood of events).

Step 11 Click OK.

Description
Options

Termination Mode

Sets the mode of operation. Options that do not apply to a card do not display.

The MXP_2.5G_10G card is based on SONET/SDH multiplexing. The transparent mode terminates and rebuilds the B1 byte (as well as other bytes) of the incoming OC-48/STM-16 signal. The B2 byte is not touched.

The MXP_2.5G_10E, MXP_2.5G_10E_C, and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards are fully transparent in transparent mode based on the OTN/ITU-T G.709 multiplexing scheme. It does not terminate the B1 byte or other bytes.

It encapsulates OC-48/STM-16 bytes into ODU1 first, then multiplexes them into an OTU2.

Refer to the "Card Reference" chapter in the e Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual for more details.

For ANSI platforms:

Note Distance extension settings can be changed only if the facilities are out of service (OOS).



Note If distance extension is enabled for one MXP_MR_2.5G/MXPP_MR_2.5G card, it must be enabled on the MXP_MR_2.5G/MXPP_MR_2.5G card at the other end. A GFP-DE-MISMATCH alarm is raised if distance extension is enabled for a card at only one end.



Note The MXP_MR_2.5G/MXPP_MR_2.5G cards can operate with different Fibre Channel switch buffers at each end. However, the traffic flow will be unequal.



Note The distance extension parameters only apply to client ports (Ports 1 to 8) and not to the trunk ports (Port 9 for MXP_MR_2.5G card or Ports 9 and 10 for the MXPP_MR_2.5G card).



Step 1 In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf view), double-click the MXP_MR_2.5G or MXPP_MR_2.5G card where you want to change the distance extension settings.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Line > Service tabs, where Service is the service type provisioned on the Pluggable Port Modules tab, such as SONET (ANSI), SDH (ETSI), 1G Ethernet, and others.

Step 3 Locate the Trunk port table row and verify that the Service State column value is OOS-MA,DSBLD (ANSI) or Locked-enabled,disabled (ETSI). If yes, continue with Step 4. If not, complete the following steps:

a. Click the Admin State table cell and choose OOS,MT (ANSI) or Locked,Maintenance (ETSI).

Enable Distance Extension

If checked, allows end-to-end distances up to 1600 km for FC1G and up to 800 km for FC2G through a flow control scheme based on the transparent-mode Generic Framing Protocol (GFP-T). GFP-T flow control enables the node to be part of a storage area network (SAN) with long-distance remote nodes. Cisco recommends that you enable distance extension when one or both of the following conditions exist:

The distance between the source and destination MXP_MR_2.5G/ MXPP_MR_2.5G cards is greater than 5 km.

The FC switch buffer at either end is less than 128 bytes.

If distance extension is enabled, the Fibre Channel switch must be set to Interop or Open Fabric mode, depending on the switch. By default, the MXP_MR_2.5G/ MXPP_MR_2.5G card interoperates with the Cisco Multilayer Director Switch (MDS) storage products.

Checked or unchecked

Auto Detect Credits

(Available only when distance extension is enabled). If checked, enables the node to detect the transmit credits from a remote node. Credits are used for link flow control and for Extended Link Protocol (ELP) login frames between Fibre Channel/FICON switch E ports. If distance extension is enabled, Cisco recommends that you enable Auto Detect Credits.

Checked or unchecked

Credits Available

If Auto Detect Credits is not enabled, sets the number of credits when an ELP login frame setting is missing or if the ELP login frame cannot be detected.

Numeric. Values are 2 through 256 in multiples of 2.

Autoadjust GFP Buffer Threshold

If checked, the threshold of the GFP buffer between two MXP_MR_2.5G or two MXPP_MR_2.5G cards is automatically adjusted. This guarantees the best utilization of the SONET/SDH transport by balancing bandwidth and latency.

Checked or unchecked

GFP Buffers Available

If Autoadjust GFP Buffer Threshold is not checked, sets the GFP buffer depth. For shorter SONET transport distances, Cisco recommends lower values to decrease latency. For longer SONET transport distances, Cisco recommends higher values to provide higher bandwidth.

Numeric. Possible values are 16 through 1200 in multiples of 16.

Number of bytes received since the last counter reset.

rxTotalPkts

Total number of receive packets.

ifInDiscards

Number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

ifInErrors

Total number of receive errors.

ifOutOctets

The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.

txTotalPkts

Total number of transmitted packets.

ifOutDiscards

Number of outbound packets that were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted.

mediaIndStatsRxFramesTruncated

Total number of frames received that are less than 5 bytes. This value is a part of high-level data link control (HDLC) and GFP port statistics.

mediaIndStatsRxFramesTooLong

Number of received frames that exceed the maximum transmission unit (MTU). This value is part of HDLC and GFP port statistics.

mediaIndStatsRxFramesBadCRC

Number of receive data frames with payload cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors when HDLC framing is used.

mediaIndStatsTxFramesBadCRC

Number of transmitted data frames with payload CRC errors when HDLC framing is used.

Step 6 From the Alarm Type drop-down list, indicate whether the event will be triggered by the rising threshold, the falling threshold, or both the rising and falling thresholds.

Step 7 From the Sample Type drop-down list, choose either Relative or Absolute. Relative restricts the threshold to use the number of occurrences in the user-set sample period. Absolute sets the threshold to use the total number of occurrences, regardless of time period.

Step 8 Type in an appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period.

Step 9 Type in the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold.

For a rising type of alarm, the measured value must move from below the falling threshold to above the rising threshold. For example, if a network is running below a rising threshold of 1000 collisions every 15 seconds and a problem causes 1001 collisions in 15 seconds, the excess occurrences trigger an alarm.

Step 10 Enter the appropriate number of occurrences in the Falling Threshold field. In most cases a falling threshold is set lower than the rising threshold.

A falling threshold is the counterpart to a rising threshold. When the number of occurrences is above the rising threshold and then drops below a falling threshold, it resets the rising threshold. For example, when the network problem that caused 1001 collisions in 15 seconds subsides and creates only 799 collisions in 15 seconds, occurrences fall below a falling threshold of 800 collisions. This resets the rising threshold so that if network collisions again spike over a 1000 per 15-second period, an event again triggers when the rising threshold is crossed. An event is triggered only the first time a rising threshold is exceeded (otherwise, a single network problem might cause a rising threshold to be exceeded multiple times and cause a flood of events).

Step 11 Click OK.

Step 6 From the Alarm Type drop-down list, indicate whether the event will be triggered by the rising threshold, the falling threshold, or both the rising and falling thresholds.

Step 7 From the Sample Type drop-down list, choose either Relative or Absolute. Relative restricts the threshold to use the number of occurrences in the user-set sample period. Absolute sets the threshold to use the total number of occurrences, regardless of time period.

Step 8 Type in an appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period.

Step 9 Type in the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold.

For a rising type of alarm, the measured value must move from below the falling threshold to above the rising threshold. For example, if a network is running below a rising threshold of 1000 collisions every 15 seconds and a problem causes 1001 collisions in 15 seconds, the excess occurrences trigger an alarm.

Step 10 Enter the appropriate number of occurrences in the Falling Threshold field. In most cases a falling threshold is set lower than the rising threshold.

A falling threshold is the counterpart to a rising threshold. When the number of occurrences is above the rising threshold and then drops below a falling threshold, it resets the rising threshold. For example, when the network problem that caused 1001 collisions in 15 seconds subsides and creates only 799 collisions in 15 seconds, occurrences fall below a falling threshold of 800 collisions. This resets the rising threshold so that if network collisions again spike over a 1000 per 15-second period, an event again triggers when the rising threshold is crossed. An event is triggered only the first time a rising threshold is exceeded (otherwise, a single network problem might cause a rising threshold to be exceeded multiple times and cause a flood of events).

Step 11 Click OK.
