Step 1 Complete the "DLP-A60 Log into CTC" task for the node you will turn up. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > General tabs.

Step 3 Enter the following information in the fields listed:

•Node Name—Type a name for the node. For Transaction Language 1 (TL1) compliance, names must begin with an alpha character and have no more than 20 alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) characters.

•Contact—(Optional) Type the name of the node contact person and the phone number, up to 255 characters.

•Latitude—Enter the node latitude: N (North) or S (South), degrees, and minutes (optional).

•Longitude—Enter the node longitude: E (East) or W (West), degrees, and minutes (optional).

Tip You can also position nodes manually on the network view map. Press Ctrl while you drag and drop the node icon. To create the same network map visible for all ONS 15454 users, complete the "NTP-A172 Create a Logical Network Map" procedure.

CTC uses the latitude and longitude to position ONS 15454 icons on the network view map. To convert a coordinate in degrees to degrees and minutes, multiply the number after the decimal by 60. For example, the latitude 38.250739 converts to 38 degrees, 15 minutes (0.250739 x 60 = 15.0443, rounded to the nearest whole number).

•Description—Type a description of the node. The description can be a maximum of 255 characters.

•Use NTP/SNTP Server—When checked, CTC uses a Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server to set the date and time of the node.

If you do not use an SNTP or NTP server, complete the Date and Time fields. The ONS 15454 will use these fields for alarm dates and times. By default, CTC displays all alarms in the CTC computer time zone for consistency. To change the display to the node time zone, complete the "DLP-A112 Display Alarms and Conditions Using Time Zone" task.

Note Using an NTP or SNTP server ensures that all ONS 15454 network nodes use the same date and time reference. The server synchronizes the node's time after power outages or software upgrades.

If you check the Use NTP/SNTP Server check box, type the IP address of one of the following:

–An NTP/SNTP server connected to the ONS 15454

–Another ONS 15454 with NTP/SNTP enabled that is connected to the ONS 15454

If you check gateway network element (GNE) for the ONS 15454 SOCKS proxy server (see "DLP-A249 Provision IP Settings" task), external ONS 15454s must reference the gateway ONS 15454 for NTP/SNTP timing. For more information about the ONS 15454 gateway settings, refer to the "Management Network Connectivity" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.

Caution If you reference another ONS 15454 for the NTP/SNTP server, make sure the second ONS 15454 references an NTP/SNTP server and not the first ONS 15454 (that is, do not create an NTP/SNTP timing loop by having two ONS 15454 nodes reference each other).

•Date—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not checked, type the current date (mm/dd/yyyy, for example, September 24, 2002 is 09/24/2002).

•Time—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not checked, type the current time in the format hh:mm:ss, for example, 11:24:58. The ONS 15454 uses a 24-hour clock, so 10:00 PM is entered as 22:00:00.

•Time Zone—Click the field and choose a city within your time zone from the drop-down list. The list displays the 80 World Time Zones from -11 through 0 (GMT) to +14. Continental United States time zones are GMT-05:00 (Eastern), GMT-06:00 (Central), GMT-07:00 (Mountain), and GMT-08:00 (Pacific).

•Use Daylight Savings Time—Check this check box if the time zone that you chose uses Daylight Savings Time.

•Insert AIS-V on STS-1 SD-P—Check this check box if you want Alarm Indication Signal Virtual Tributary (AIS-V) conditions inserted on VT circuits carried by STS-1s when the STS-1 crosses its Signal Degrade Path (SD-P) bit error rate (BER) threshold. On protected circuits, traffic will be switched. If the switch cannot be performed, or if circuits are not protected, traffic will be dropped when the STS-1 SD-P BER threshold is reached.

•SD-P BER—If you selected Insert AIS-V, you can choose the SD-P BER level from the SD-P BER drop-down list.

Step 4 Click Apply.

Step 5 In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.

Step 6 Review the node information. If you need to make corrections, repeat Steps 3 through 5 to enter the corrections. If the information is correct, continue with the "NTP-A261 Set Power Monitor Thresholds" procedure.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-A261 Set Power Monitor Thresholds

1:1

DS1-14

DS3-12

DS3-12E

EC1-12

DS3XM-6

DS3XM-12

DS3/EC1-48

Pairs one working card with one protect card. The protect card should be installed in an odd-numbered slot and the working card in an even-numbered slot next to the protect slot towards the TCC2/TCC2P, for example: protect in Slot 1, working in Slot 2; protect in Slot 3, working in Slot 4; protect in Slot 15, working in Slot 14. 1:1 protection can be revertive or nonrevertive. For more information, refer to the "Card Protection" chapter and the card reference material specific to the card in the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.

1:N

DS1N-14

DS3N-12

DS3N-12E

DS3XM-12

DS3/EC1-48

DS1/E1-56

Assigns one protect card for several working cards. The maximum is 1:5. These protect cards must be installed in Slot 3 or 15 and the cards they protect must be on the same side of the shelf.

Protect cards must match the cards they protect. For example, a DS1N-14 can only protect DS1-14 or DS1N-14 cards. If a failure clears, traffic reverts to the working card after the reversion time has elapsed.

For more information, refer to the "Card Protection" chapter and the card reference material specific to the card in the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.

1+1

Any OC-N

Pairs a working OC-N card/port with a protect OC-N card/port. For multiport OC-N cards, the protect port must match the working port on the working card. For example, Port 1 of an OC-3 card can only be protected by Port 1 of another OC-3 card. The ports on multiport cards must be either working or protect. You cannot mix working and protect ports on the same card. Cards do not need to be in adjoining slots. 1+1 protection can be revertive or nonrevertive, bidirectional or unidirectional.

Optimized 1+1

OC-3-4

OC-3-8

Ports must be provisioned to SDH. Optimized 1+1 protection is mainly used in networks that have linear 1+1 bidirectional protection schemes. Optimized 1+1 is a line-level protection scheme that includes two lines, working and protect. One of the two lines assumes the role of the primary channel, from which traffic gets selected, and the other port assumes the role of the secondary channel, which protects the primary channel. Traffic switches from the primary to the secondary channel based on either an external switching command or line conditions. After the line condition or the external switching command that was responsible for a switch clears, the roles of the two sides are reversed.

Y Cable

MXP_2.5_10G

MXP_2.5_10E

MXP_2.5G_10E_C

MXP_2.5G_10E_L

MXP_MR_10DME_L

TXP_MR_10E

TXP_MR_10E_L

TXP_MR_10E_C

MXP_2.5G_10E

MXP_MR_2.5G

Pairs a working transponder or muxponder card/port with a protect transponder or muxponder card/port. The protect port must be on a different card than the working port and it must be the same card type as the working port. The working and protect port numbers must be the same, that is, Port 1 can only protect Port 1, Port 2 can only protect Port 2, etc. For more information, see the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.

Splitter

TXPP_MR_2.5G

MXPP_MR_2.5G

Splitter protection is automatically provided with the TXPP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards. For more information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.

Unprotected

Any

Unprotected cards can cause signal loss if a card fails or incurs a signal error. However, because no card slots are reserved for protection, unprotected schemes maximize the service available for use on the ONS 15454. Unprotected is the default protection type.


Step 2 Complete one or more of the following tasks depending on the protection groups you want to create:

•A71 Create a 1:1 Protection Group

•A72 Create a 1:N Protection Group

•A73 Create a 1+1 Protection Group

•A34 Create an Optimized 1+1 Protection Group

Note If a protect card is not installed, you can complete the "DLP-A330 Preprovision a Card Slot" task and continue with the card protection provisioning.

Note A 1+1 protection group can only be provisioned between the same equipment type, using the same port number, and the same port rate. The MRC-12 cards used must be in the same slot type; either the low speed-slots or high-speed slots.

Note To create Y-cable protection groups for TXP and MXP cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.

Step 5 Click OK. The node IP address of the node where you provisioned the new trap destination appears in the Trap Destinations area.

Step 6 Click the node IP address in the Trap Destinations area. Verify the SNMP information that appears in the Selected Destination list.

Step 7 If you want to set up SNMP remote monitoring (RMON) on gateway node elements (GNEs) and end node elements (ENEs), complete the following tasks as required, depending on the protection groups you want to create:

•A449 Set Up SNMP for a GNE

•A450 Set Up SNMP for an ENE

•A451 Format and Enter NMS Community String for SNMP Command or Operation

Step 8 Click Apply.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-A318 Provision OSI

Purpose

This procedure provisions the ONS 15454 so it can be networked with other vendor NEs that use the OSI (Open Systems Interface) protocol stack for data communications network (DCN) communications. This procedure provisions the TID Address Resolution Protocol (TARP), OSI routers, manual area addresses, subnetwork points of attachment, and IP over OSI tunnels.

Caution This procedure requires an understanding of OSI protocols, parameters, and functions. Before you begin, review the OSI reference sections in the "Management Network Connectivity" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.
Caution Do not begin this procedure until you know the role of the ONS 15454 within the OSI and IP network.

Note This procedure requires provisioning of non-ONS equipment including routers and third party network elements. Do not begin until you have the capability to complete that provisioning.

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-A60 Log into CTC" task at the node where you want to provision the OSI routing mode. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 As needed, complete the following tasks:

•A534 Provision OSI Routing Mode—Complete this task first.

•A535 Provision or Modify TARP Operating Parameters—Complete this task next.

•A536 Add a Static TID to NSAP Entry to the TARP Data Cache—Complete this task as needed.

•A538 Add a TARP Manual Adjacency Table Entry—Complete this task as needed.

•A539 Provision OSI Routers—Complete this task as needed.

•A540 Provision Additional Manual Area Addresses—Complete this task as needed.

•A541 Enable the OSI Subnet on the LAN Interface—Complete this task as needed.

•A542 Create an IP-Over-CLNS Tunnel—Complete this task as needed.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.
