Note The CE-100T-8 uses the ONG RMON. The ONG RMON contains the statistics, history, alarms, and events MIB groups from the standard RMON MIB.
Note ONG RMON is recommended for the ML-100T-8 card. The standard Cisco IOS RMON is also available.
Step 1 Double-click the Ethernet card where you want to create the RMON alarm thresholds.
Step 2 In card view, click the Provisioning > Ether Ports > RMON Thresholds tabs or the Provisioning > POS Ports > RMON Thresholds for CE-Series and ML-Series Ethernet cards.
Step 3 Click Create.
The Create Threshold dialog box appears (Figure 18-5).
Figure 18-5 Creating RMON Thresholds
Step 4 From the Slot drop-down list, choose the appropriate Ethernet card.
Step 5 From the Port drop-down list, choose the applicable port on the Ethernet card you selected.
Step 6 From the Variable drop-down list, choose the variable.
In the POS Ports Create Threshold window, the variables that appear in the Variable drop-down list depend on the framing mode used by the cards. The two framing modes for the POS port on the CE-Series and ML-Series cards are HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control) and GFP-F (frame-mapped generic framing procedure).
Table 18-1 provides a list of the Ether ports threshold variables available in this field.
Table 18-2 provides a list of the POS ports threshold variables for HDLC mode.
Table 18-3 provides a list of the POS ports threshold variables for GFP-F mode.
Step 7 From the Alarm Type drop-down list, indicate whether the event will be triggered by the rising threshold, falling threshold, or both the rising and falling thresholds.
Step 8 From the Sample Type drop-down list, choose 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 9 Enter an appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period.
Step 10 Enter the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold.
Note 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 11 Enter the appropriate number of occurrences in the Falling Threshold field. In most cases a falling threshold is set lower than the rising threshold.
Note 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 12 Click OK to complete the procedure.
Step 13 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Step 2 Right-click the green line containing the circuits you want to view and choose Circuits to view path protection, 1+1, or unprotected circuits on the span.
In the Circuits on Span dialog box, you can view the following information for circuits provisioned on the span:
•STS—Displays STSs used by the circuits.
•VT—Displays VTs used by the circuits (VT circuits).
•Path Protection—(Path protection span only) If checked, path protection circuits are on the span.
•Circuit—Displays the circuit name.
•Switch State—(Path protection span only) Displays the switch state of the circuit, that is, whether any span switches are active. For path protection spans, switch types include: CLEAR (no spans are switched), MANUAL (a Manual switch is active), FORCE (a Force switch is active), and LOCKOUT OF PROTECTION (a span lockout is active).
Note You can perform other procedures from the Circuits on Span dialog box. If the span is in a path protection configuration, you can switch the span traffic. See the "DLP-C166 Initiate a Path Protection Force Switch on a Span" task for instructions. If you want to edit a circuit on the span, double-click the circuit. See the "DLP-C112 Edit a Circuit Name" task or the "DLP-C114 Edit Path Protection Circuit Path Selectors" task for instructions.
Step 3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-C111 Change a Circuit Service State
Step 1 In node or network view, click the Circuits tab.
Step 2 Click the circuit with the service state that you want to change.
Step 3 From the Tools menu, choose Circuits > Set Circuit State.
Step 4 In the Set Circuit State dialog box, choose the administrative state from the Target Circuit Admin State drop-down list:
•IS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the IS-NR service state.
•OOS,DSBLD—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
•IS,AINS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS) service state. When the connections receive a valid signal, the cross-connect service states automatically change to IS-NR.
•OOS,MT—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,MT service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit, but suppresses alarms and conditions. Use the OOS,MT administrative state for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the administrative state to IS; OOS; or IS,AINS when testing is complete.
•OOS,OOG—(LCAS VCAT circuits only) Puts VCAT member cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and Management, Out-of-Group (OOS-MA,OOG) service state. This administrative state is used to put a member circuit out of the group and to stop sending traffic. OOS-MA,OOG applies only 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.
Note You can also change the administrative state by clicking the Edit button on the Circuits tab, then clicking the State tab on the Edit Circuits window.
For additional information about circuit service states, refer to the "Circuits and Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Reference Manual.
Step 5 If you want to apply the administrative state to the circuit source and destination ports, check the Apply to drop ports check box.
Note CTC will not allow you to change a drop port service state from IS-NR to OOS-MA,DSBLD. You must first change a port to the OOS-MA,MT service state before putting it in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state.
Step 6 Click Apply.
Step 7 If a confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes to continue. If the Circuit State Transitions dialog box appears, view the results and click OK.
CTC will not change the service state of the circuit source and destination port in certain circumstances. For example, if a port is in loopback (OOS-MA,LPBK & MT), CTC will not change the port to IS-NR. In another example, if the circuit size is smaller than the port, CTC will not change the port service state from IS-NR to OOS-MA,DSBLD. If CTC cannot change the port service state, you must change the port service state manually. For more information, see the "DLP-C50 Change the Service State for a Port" task.
Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-C116 Add a Member to a VCAT Circuit
Purpose |
This task adds a member to non-LCAS and LCAS circuits on CE-100T-8 or ML-100T-8 cards. Adding a member to a VCAT circuit changes the size of the circuit. The new members use the VCAT member source, destination, and routing preference (common fiber or split fiber) specified during the VCAT circuit creation procedure. |
Tools/Equipment |
CE-100T-8 or ML-100T-8 card |

Adding a member to non-LCAS VCAT circuits can be service affecting.
Adding a member to LCAS VCAT circuits in the IS-NR; OOS-AU,AINS; or OOS-MA,MT service state could be service affecting. Cisco recommends using the OOS-MA,OOG service state when adding new members. You can put the member in the desired state after adding the member.
Note You cannot add members to VCAT circuits that use a Cisco ONS 15454 ML-Series card as a source or destination.
Step 1 In node or network view, click the Circuits tab.
Step 2 Click the VCAT circuit that you want to edit, then click Edit.
Step 3 Click the Members tab.
Step 4 If you want to add a member to a non-LCAS VCAT circuit, complete the following substeps. If you want to add a member to an LCAS VCAT circuit, skip this step and continue with Step 5.
a. Select a member with a VCAT State of In Group. The In Group state indicates that a member has cross-connects in the IS-NR; OOS-MA,AINS; or OOS-MA,MT service states.
b. Click Edit Member.
c. In the Edit Member Circuit window, click the State tab.
d. View the cross-connect service state in the CRS Service State column. You will need this information when choosing the new member state.
Cross-connects of all In Group non-LCAS members must be in the same service state. If all existing members are in the Out of Group VCAT state, which for non-LCAS members is the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state, you can choose any service state for the new member.
e. From the File menu, choose Close to return to the Edit Circuit window.
Step 5 Click Add Member. The Add Member button is enabled if the VCAT circuit has sufficient bandwidth for an added member.
Step 6 Define the number of members and member attributes (Figure 18-6):
•Number of members to add—Choose the number of members to add from the drop-down list. If the drop-down list does not show a number, the VCAT circuit has the maximum number of members allowed. The number of members allowed depends on the source and destination card and the existing size of the circuit. For more information on the number of members allowed for a card, refer to the "Circuits and Tunnels" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Reference Manual.
•New Circuit Size—(Display only) Automatically updates based on the number of added members.
•Create cross-connects only (TL1-like)—Check this box if you want to create one or more cross-connects to complete a signal path for TL1-generated circuits. If this box is checked, you cannot assign a name to the circuit.
•State—To add a non-LCAS member to a VCAT with In Group members, choose the state you viewed in Step 4. To add a non-LCAS member to a VCAT with only Out of Group members, choose any of the following states. To add LCAS members, Cisco recommends the OOS,OOG state.
–IS—Puts the member cross-connects in the IS-NR service state.
–OOS,DSBLD—Puts the member cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
–IS,AINS—Puts the member cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS) service state. When the connections receive a valid signal, the cross-connect service states automatically change to IS-NR. IS,AINS is the default state.
–OOS,MT—Puts the member cross-connects in the OOS-MA,MT service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit, but suppresses alarms and conditions. Use the OOS,MT administrative state for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the administrative state to IS; OOS; or IS,AINS when testing is complete. See the "DLP-C180 Change a VCAT Member Service State" task.
–OOS,OOG—(LCAS VCAT only) Puts VCAT member cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and Management, Out-of-Group (OOS-MA,OOG) service state. This administrative state is used to put a member circuit out of the group and to stop sending traffic.

Step 8 To route the members automatically, check Route Automatically. To manually route the members, leave Route Automatically unchecked.
Step 9 If you want to set preferences for individual members, complete the following in the Member Preferences area. To set identical preferences for all added members, skip this step and continue with Step 10.
Note Common fiber or split routing cannot be changed.
•Number—Choose a number from the drop-down list to identify the member.
•Name—Enter a unique name to identify the member. The name can be alphanumeric and up to 48 characters (including spaces). If you leave the field blank, CTC assigns a default name to the circuit.
•Protection—Choose the member protection type:
–Fully Protected—Routes the circuit on a protected path.
–Unprotected—Creates an unprotected circuit.
–PCA—(Future use) Routes the member on a BLSR protection channel.
Note Although ONS 15310-CLs do not support BLSR, you can route an LCAT VCAT circuit over a BLSR network of ONS 15600s, ONS 15454s, or ONS 15327s.
–DRI—(Split routing only) Routes the member on a dual ring interconnect circuit.
•Node-Diverse Path—(Split routing only) Available for each member when Fully Protected is chosen.
Step 10 To set preferences for all members, complete the following in the Set Preferences for All Members area:
•Protection—Choose the member protection type:
–Fully Protected—Routes the circuit on a protected path.
–Unprotected—Creates an unprotected circuit.
–PCA—(Future use) Routes the member on a BLSR protection channel.
Note Although ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MAs do not support BLSR, you can route an LCAT VCAT circuit over a BLSR network of ONS 15600, ONS 15454, or ONS 15327 nodes.

Note This task assumes you are setting up path trace on a bidirectional circuit and setting up transmit strings at the circuit source and destination.
Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 2 Click the Circuits tab.
For the STS circuit you want to monitor, verify that the source and destination ports are on a card that can transmit and receive the path trace string. Table 18-6 shows the ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA cards and/or ports that support J1 and/or J2 path trace.
Step 3 If neither port is transmit/receive, you will not be able to complete this task. If one port is transmit/receive and the other is a receive-only port, you can set up the transmit string at the transmit/receive port and the receive string at the receive-only port, but you will not be able to transmit in both directions.
Step 4 Choose the STS circuit you want to trace, then double-click it (or click Edit).
Step 5 If you chose a VCAT circuit, complete the following. If not, continue with Step 6.
a. In the Edit Circuit window, click the Members tab.
b. Click Edit Member and continue with Step 6.

b. In the New Transmit String field, enter the circuit source transmit string. Enter a string that makes the source port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.
c. Click Apply, then click Close.
Step 8 Provision the circuit destination transmit string:
a. In the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit destination port and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.
b. In the New Transmit String field, enter the string that you want the circuit destination to transmit. Enter a string that makes the destination port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.
c. Click Apply.
Step 9 Provision the circuit destination expected string:
a. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•Auto—The first string received from the source port is the baseline. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
•Manual—The string entered in the Current Expected String is the baseline. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
b. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit destination should receive from the circuit source in the New Expected String field. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Auto, skip this step.
c. Check the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the alarm indication signal (AIS) and RDI when the STS Path Trace Identifier Mismatch Path (TIM-P) alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and conditions.
d. (Check box visibility depends on card selection.) Check the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check box if you want to suppress the Alarm Indication Signal when a C2 mis-match occurs.
e. Click Apply, then click Close.
Note It is not necessary to set the format (16 bytes for VT circuits or 64 bytes for STS circuits) for the circuit destination expected string; the path trace process automatically determines the format.
Step 10 Provision the circuit source expected string:
a. In the Edit Circuit window (with Show Detailed Map chosen) right-click the circuit source port and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.
b. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other end as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
•Manual—Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
c. If you set Path Trace Mode to Manual, enter the string that the circuit source should receive from the circuit destination in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto, skip this step.
d. Check the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the alarm indication signal (AIS) and RDI when the STS Path Trace Identifier Mismatch Path (TIM-P) alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and conditions.
e. (Check box visibility depends on card selection.) Check the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check box if you want to suppress the Alarm Indication Signal when a C2 mis-match occurs.
f. Click Apply.
Note It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the circuit destination expected string; the path trace process automatically determines the format.
Step 11 After you set up the path trace, the received string appears in the Received field on the path trace setup window. The following options are available:
•Click Hex Mode to display path trace in hexadecimal format. The button name changes to ASCII Mode. Click it to return the path trace to ASCII format.
•Click Reset to reread values from the port.
•Click Default to return to the path trace default settings (Path Trace Mode is set to Off and the New Transmit and New Expected Strings are null).
Clicking Default will generate alarms if the port on the other end is provisioned with a different string.
The Expect and Receive strings are updated every few seconds if the Path Trace Mode field is set to Auto or Manual.
Step 12 Click Close.
When you display the detailed circuit window, path trace is indicated by an M (manual path trace) or an A (automatic path trace) at the circuit source and destination ports.
Step 13 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Step 3 Choose the STS circuit that has path trace provisioned on the source and destination ports, then click Edit.
Step 4 In the Edit Circuit window, check the Show Detailed Map check box at the bottom of the window. A detailed circuit graphic showing source and destination ports appears.
Step 5 In the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit OC-N port (the square on the left or right of the source node icon) and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.
Step 6 In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other end as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received. For OC-N ports, Auto is recommended, since Manual mode requires you to trace the circuit on the Edit Circuit window to determine whether the port is the source or destination path.
•Manual—Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
Step 7 If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the OC-N port should receive in the New Expected String field. To do this, trace the circuit path on the detailed circuit window to determine whether the port is in the circuit source or destination path, then set the New Expected String field to the string transmitted by the circuit source or destination. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Auto, skip this step.

DLP-C139 Change the Node Timing Source
The following task can be service affecting; perform it during a scheduled maintenance window.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Timing tabs.
Step 2 In the General Timing area, change any of the following information:
•Timing Mode
Note Because mixed timing can cause timing loops, Cisco does not recommend using the Mixed Timing option. Use this mode with care.
•SSM Message Set
•Quality of RES
•Revertive
•Reversion Time
See the "DLP-C45 Set Up External or Line Timing" task for field descriptions.
Step 3 In the Reference Lists area, you can change the following information:
Note Reference lists define up to three timing references for the node and up to six BITS Out references. BITS Out references define the timing references used by equipment that can be attached to the node's Mechanical Interface Cards (MICs). If you attach equipment to the BITS Out pins, you normally attach it to a node with Line mode because equipment near the external timing reference can be directly wired to the reference.
•NE Reference
•BITS 1 Out
Step 4 In the BITS Facilities area, you can change the following information:
Note The BITS Facilities section sets the parameters for your BITS1 timing references. Many of these settings are determined by the timing source manufacturer. If equipment is timed through BITS Out, you can set timing parameters to meet the requirements of the equipment.
•In/Out State
•Coding
•Framing
•Sync Messaging
•AIS Threshold
•Admin SSM
•LBO
Step 5 Click Apply.
Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-C140 Verify Timing in a Reduced Ring
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Timing > General tabs.
Step 2 Identify the type of timing (Line, External, Mixed) in the Timing Mode field.
Step 3 Scroll down to the Reference Lists and observe the NE Reference fields to see the timing references provisioned for that node.
Step 4 If the removed node was the only BITS timing source, perform the following:
a. Look for another node on the ring that can be used as a BITS source and set the Timing Mode for that node to External. Choose that node as the primary timing source for all other nodes in the ring. See the "DLP-C139 Change the Node Timing Source" task.
b. If no node in the reduced ring can be used as a BITS source, choose one node to be your internal timing source. Set the Timing Mode for that node to External, set the BITS 1 and 2 State field to OOS, and set the NE Reference to Internal Clock. Then, choose line timing for all other nodes in the ring. This forces the first node to be the primary timing source. See the "DLP-C139 Change the Node Timing Source" task.
Note Internal timing conforms to Stratum 3 requirements and is not considered optimal.
Step 5 If the removed node was not the only BITS timing source, provision the adjacent nodes to line timing using SONET links (east and west) as timing sources, traceable to the node with external BITS timing. See the "NTP-C23 Set Up Timing" procedure.
Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-C143 Change Node Access and PM Clearing Privilege
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Security > Access tabs.
Step 2 In the Access area, provision the following:
•LAN access—Choose one of the following options to set the access paths to the node:
–No LAN Access—Allows access to the node only through data communications channel (DCC) connections. Access through the TCC2/TCC2P RJ-45 port and backplane is not permitted.
–Front only—Allows access through the TCC2/TCC2P RJ-45 port. Access through the DCC and the backplane is not permitted.
–Backplane only—Allows access through DCC connections and the backplane. Access through the TCC2/TCC2P RJ-45 port is not allowed.
–Front and Backplane—Allows access through DCC, TCC2/TCC2P RJ-45, and backplane connections.
•Restore Timeout—Sets a time delay for enabling of front and backplane access when DCC connections are lost and "DCC only" is chosen in LAN Access. Front and backplane access is enabled after the restore timeout period has passed. Front and backplane access is disabled as soon as DCC connections are restored.
Step 3 In the Shell Access area, set the shell program used to access the node:
•Access State: Allows you to set the shell program access mode to Disable (disables shell access), Non-Secure, Secure. Secure mode allows access to the node using the Secure Shell (SSH) program. SSH is a terminal-remote host Internet protocol that uses encrypted links. Non-Secure mode allows access to the shell using telnet.
•Telnet Port: Allows access to the node using the Telnet port. Telnet is the terminal-remote host Internet protocol developed for the Advanced Agency Research Project Network (ARPANET). Port 23 is the default.
•Enable Shell Password: If checked, enables the shell password. To disable the password, you must uncheck the check box and click Apply. You must type the password in the confirmation dialog box and click OK to disable it.
Step 4 In the TL1 Access area, select the desired level of TL1 access. Disabled completely disables all TL1 access; Non-Secure allows telnet access through ports 2361, 3082 and 3083; Secure allows SSH access through port 4083.
Step 5 In the PM Clearing Privilege field, choose the minimum security level that can clear node PM data: PROVISIONING or SUPERUSER.
Step 6 Select the Enable Craft Port check box to turn on the shelf controller serial ports.
Step 7 Select the EMS access state from the list. Available states are Non-secure (allows access using IIOP and HTTP), and Secure (allows access using SSLIOP and HTTPS).
In the TCC CORBA (IIOP/SSLIOP) Listener Port area, choose a listener port option:
•Default - TCC Fixed—Uses Port 57790 (non-secure IIOP port) and Port 57791 (secure SSLIOP port) to connect to ONS 15454s on the same side of the firewall or if no firewall is used (default). This option can be used for access through a firewall if Port 57790 or Port 57791 is open. 57790 is the non-secure IIOP port, 57791 is the secure SSLIOP port.
•Standard Constant—Uses Port 683 (IIOP) or Port 684 (SSLIOP), the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) default port number.
•Other Constant—If the default port is not used, type the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) or SSLIOP port specified by your firewall administrator.
Step 8 In the SNMP Access area, set the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) access state to Non-Secure or Disabled (disables SNMP access).

•IS,AINS—Puts the member cross-connects in the OOS-AU,AINS service state and suppresses alarms and conditions. When the connections receive a valid signal, the service state automatically changes to IS-NR.
•OOS,MT—Puts the member cross-connects in the OOS-MA,MT service state. The maintenance state does not interrupt traffic flow; it suppresses alarms and conditions and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit. Use OOS,MT for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the administrative state to IS; IS,AINS; or OOS,DSBLD when testing is complete.
•OOS,OOG—(LCAS and Sw-LCAS VCAT only.) Puts VCAT member cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and Management, Out-of-Group (OOS-MA,OOG) service state. This administrative state is used to put a member circuit out of the group and to stop sending traffic.

Step 13 To route the circuit over a protected path, check Fully Protected Path. (If you do not want to route the circuit on a protected path, continue with Step 14.) CTC creates a primary and alternate circuit route (virtual path protection) based on the following nodal diversity options. Select one of the following choices and follow subsequent window prompts to complete the routing:
•Nodal Diversity Required—Ensures that the primary and alternate paths within path-protected mesh network (PPMN) portions of the complete circuit path are nodally diverse.
•Nodal Diversity Desired—Specifies that node diversity should be attempted, but if node diversity is not possible, CTC creates link diverse paths for the PPMN portion of the complete circuit path.
•Link Diversity Only—Specifies that only link-diverse primary and alternate paths for PPMN portions of the complete circuit path are needed. The paths might be node-diverse, but CTC does not check for node diversity.
Step 14 If you checked Route Automatically in Step 12:
•If you checked Using Required Nodes/Spans, continue with Step 15.
•If you checked only Review Route Before Creation, continue with Step 16.

See the "NTP-C47 Create an Automatically Routed Optical Circuit" procedure or the "NTP-C51 Create an Automatically Routed VCAT Circuit" procedure, as needed.
Step 1 In the node view, double-click the CE-100T-8 card graphic to open the card.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Ether Ports tabs.
Step 3 For each CE-100T-8 port, provision the following parameters:
•Port Name—If you want to label the port, enter the port name.
•Admin State—Choose IS to put the port in service. Putting an Ethernet port into IS-NR also puts the mapped POS port in IS-NR.
•Expected Speed—Choose the expected speed of the device that is or will be attached to the Ethernet port. If you know the speed, choose 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps (for CE-100T-8), or 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps to match the attached device. If you do not know the speed, choosing Auto enables autonegotiation for the speed of the port, and the CE-100T-8 port will attempt to negotiate a mutually acceptable speed with the attached device. If the expected speed is set to Auto, you cannot enable selective autonegotiation.
•Expected Duplex—Choose the expected duplex of the device that is or will be attached to the Ethernet port. If you know the duplex, choose Full or Half to match the attached device. If you do not know the duplex, choosing Auto enables autonegotiation for the duplex of the port, and the CE-100T-8 port will attempt to negotiate a mutually acceptable duplex with the attached device. If the expected duplex is set to Auto, you cannot enable selective autonegotiation.
•Enable Selective Auto Negotiation—Click this check box to enable selective autonegotiation on the Ethernet port. If you do not want to enable selective autonegotiation, uncheck the box. If checked, the CE-100T-8 port attempts to autonegotiate only to the selected expected speed and duplex. The link will come up if both the expected speed and duplex of the attached autonegotiating device matches that of the port. You cannot enable selective autonegotiation if either the expected speed or expected duplex is set to Auto.
•Enable Flow Control—Click this check box to enable flow control on the port (default). If you do not want to enable flow control, uncheck the box. The CE-100T-8 card attempts to negotiate symmetrical flow control with the attached device.
•802.1Q VLAN CoS—For a CoS-tagged frame, the CE-100T-8 card can map the eight priorities specified in CoS for either priority or best effort treatment. Any CoS class higher than the class specified in CTC is mapped to priority, which is the treatment geared towards low latency. By default, the CoS is set to 7, which is the highest CoS value. The default results in all traffic being treated as best effort.
•IP ToS—The CE-100T-8 card can also map any of the 256 priorities specified in IP ToS to either priority or best effort treatment. Any ToS class higher than the class specified in CTC is mapped to priority, which is the treatment geared towards low latency. By default, the ToS is set to 255, which is the highest ToS value. This results in all traffic being sent to the best effort queue by default.
Note Untagged traffic is treated as best effort.
Note If traffic is tagged with both CoS and IP ToS, then the CoS value is used, unless the CoS value is 7.
Step 4 Click Apply.
Step 5 Refresh the Ethernet statistics:
a. In card view, click the Performance > POS Ports > Statistics tabs.

Step 1 In the node view, double-click the CE-100T-8 card graphic to open the card.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > POS Ports tabs.
Step 3 For each CE-100T-8 port, provision the following parameters:
•Port Name—If you want to label the port, enter the port name.
•Admin State—Choose IS to put the port in the IS-NR service state. Putting a POS port in IS-NR also puts the mapped Ethernet port in IS-NR.
•Framing Type—Choose GPF-F POS framing (the default) or HDLC POS framing. The framing type needs to match the framing type of the POS device at the end of the SONET circuit.
•Encap CRC—With GFP-F framing, the user can configure a 32-bit CRC (the default) or none (no CRC). HDLC framing provides a set 32-bit CRC. The CRC should be set to match the CRC of the POS device on the end of the SONET circuit.
Note For more details on the interoperabilty of ONS Ethernet cards, including information on encapsulation, framing, and CRC, refer to the "POS on ONS Ethernet Cards" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.

Step 2 Click Create to add a RADIUS server to the list of authenticators. The Create RADIUS Server Entry window appears (Figure 18-17).
Figure 18-17 Create RADIUS Server Entry Window
Step 3 Enter the RADIUS server IP address in the IP Address field. If the node is an end network element (ENE), enter the IP address of the gateway network element (GNE) in this field.
The GNE passes authentication requests from the ENEs in its network to the RADIUS server, which grants authentication if the GNE is listed as a client on the server.
Because the ENE nodes use the GNE to pass authentication requests to the RADIUS server, you must add the ENEs to the RADIUS server individually for authentication. If you do not add the ENE node to a RADIUS server prior to activating RADIUS authentication, no user will be able to access the node. Refer to the
User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server for more information about adding a node to a RADIUS server.
Step 4 Enter the shared secret in the Shared Secret field. A shared secret is a text string that serves as a password between a RADIUS client and RADIUS server.
Step 5 Enter the RADIUS authentication port number in the Authentication Port field. The default port is 1812. If the node is an ENE, set the authentication port to a number within the range of 1860 to 1869.
Step 6 Enter the RADIUS accounting port in the Accounting Port field. The default port is 1813. If the node is an ENE, set the accounting port to a number within the range of 1870 to 1879.
Step 7 Click OK. The RADIUS server is added to the list of RADIUS authenticators.
Note You can add up to 10 RADIUS servers to a node's list of authenticators.
Step 8 Click Edit to make changes to an existing RADIUS server. You can change the IP address, the shared secret, the authentication port, and the accounting port.
Step 9 Click Delete to delete the selected RADIUS server.
Step 10 Click Move Up or Move Down to reorder the list of RADIUS authenticators. The node requests authentication from the servers sequentially from top to bottom. If one server is unreachable, the node will request authentication from the next RADIUS server on the list.
Step 11 Click the Enable RADIUS Authentication check box to activate remote-server authentication for the node.
Step 12 Click the Enable RADIUS Accounting check box if you want to show RADIUS authentication information in the audit trail.
Step 13 Click the Enable the Node as the Final Authenticator check box if you want the node to be the final autheticator. This means that if every RADIUS authenticator is unavailable, the node will authenticate the login rather than locking the user out.
Step 14 Click Apply to save all changes or Reset to clear all changes.
Step 15 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
