Step 1 Complete the "DLP-C29 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/TID—Type a name for the node. For TL1 compliance, names must begin with an alpha character and have no more than 20 alphanumeric characters.

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

•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 the desired location. To create a network map that is visible to all ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA users, complete the "NTP-C35 Create a Logical Network Map" procedure. This procedure requires a Superuser security level.

Note The latitude and longitude values only indicate the geographical position of the nodes in the actual network and not the CTC node position.

•Description—Type a description of the node. The description can have 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 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA 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-C75 Display Alarms and Conditions Using Time Zone" task.

Note Using an NTP or SNTP server ensures that all ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA 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 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA

–Another ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA with NTP/SNTP enabled that is connected to the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA

If you check the gateway network element (GNE) for the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA proxy server, end ONS 15310 network elements (ENEs) must reference the gateway ONS 15310 for NTP/SNTP timing. For more information about the proxy server feature, refer to the "Management Network Connectivity" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Reference Manual.

Caution If you reference another ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA for the NTP/SNTP server, make sure the second ONS 15310 references an NTP/SNTP server and not the first ONS 15310 (that is, do not create an NTP/SNTP timing loop by having two ONS 15310s reference each other).

•Date—If the Use NTP/SNTP Server check box is not checked, type the current date in the format mm/dd/yyyy, for example, September 24, 2004 is 09/24/2004.

•Time—If the Use NTP/SNTP Server check box is not checked, type the current time in the format hh:mm:ss, for example, 11:24:58. The ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA 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 menu 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 is using Daylight Savings Time.

Note The ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA clock is not running on battery backup, if power is lost the date and time must be reset.

•Insert AIS-V on STS-1 SD-P—Check this check box if you want AIS-Vs inserted on VT circuits carried by STS-1s when the STS-1 crosses its SD-P 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 to 5 to enter the corrections. If the information is correct, continue with the "NTP-C21 Set Up CTC Network Access" procedure.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

Table 4-1 Protection Types 

Type
Cards
Description and Installation Requirements

1:1

DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3

DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3

Pairs one working card with one protect card. 1:1 protection groups are created automatically and do not require provisioning. There are two sets of paired expansion slots for the electrical cards. Card slots 1 and 2 are a pair and slots 5 and 6 are a pair. The pairing is due to the configuration of the backplane connectors. When two electrical cards are plugged into either of the card slot pairs, a 1:1 protection group is automatically created for the two cards, if possible. If a protection group cannot be created, one of the cards goes into the Mismatched Equipment Alarm (MEA) state, because the 15310-MA cannot support two unprotected electrical cards in the 1-2 or 5-6 card slot pairs. The 1:1 automatic protection group is created when the second electrical card of a pair is either plugged in or is preprovisioned. All ONS 15310-MA electrical cards, by default, are made part of a 1:1 protection group. The 1:1 protection group cannot be deleted. For more information, refer to the "Card Protection" chapter and the card reference material specific to the card in the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Reference Manual.

1+1

CTX2500

Pairs a working OC-N port with a protect OC-N port. 1+1 protection can be created between any of the four total optical ports in any combination. For example, 1+1 can created between two ports on the same CTX 2500 card, or it can be created between port 2-1 on one CTX2500 and port 1-1 on the second CTX 2500. You can create a maximum of two 1+1 protection groups, one with the working port on slot 3 and one with the working port on slot 4. The same card can have both working and protect ports on it. 1+1 protection can be revertive or nonrevertive, bidirectional or unidirectional.

Optimized 1+1

CTX2500

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.

Unprotected

Any

Unprotected cards can cause signal loss if a card fails or incurs a signal error. Unprotected is the default for Ethernet cards and for the first electrical card plugged into any of the IO slots. For more information about electrical cards, see 1:1 in this table.


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

•1:1 protection groups are created automatically when two electrical cards are physically installed or preprovisioned and do not require provisioning.

•C242 Create a 1+1 Protection Group for the ONS 15310-MA

•C243 Create an Optimized 1+1 Protection Group for the ONS 15310-MA

Note If a protect card is not installed, you can complete the "NTP-C162 Preprovision a Card Slot" procedure and continue with the card protection provisioning.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

•Destination IP Address—Type the IP address of your network management system. If the node you are logged into is an end ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA network element (ENE), set the destination address to the GNE.

•Community—Type the SNMP community name. For a description of SNMP community names, refer to the "SNMP" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Reference Manual.

Note The community name is a form of authentication and access control. The community name assigned to the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA is case-sensitive and must match the community name of the network management system (NMS).

•UDP Port—The default User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for SNMP is 162. (More information about provisioning the UDP port is also given in the "DLP-C225 Set Up SNMP for a GNE" task and "DLP-C226 Set Up SNMP for an ENE" task.

•Trap Version—Choose either SNMPv1 or SNMPv2. Refer to your NMS documentation to determine whether to use SNMP v1 or v2.

•Max Traps Per Second—Choose a number from 0 to 32767. This field limits the number of traps per second to reduce network congestion.

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:

•C225 Set Up SNMP for a GNE

•C226 Set Up SNMP for an ENE

•C227 Format and Enter NMS Community String for SNMP Command or Operation

Step 8 Click Apply.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-C131 Provision OSI

Purpose

This procedure provisions the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA 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 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Reference Manual.
Caution Do not begin this procedure until you know the role of the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA within the OSI and IP network.

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

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-C29 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:

•C200 Provision OSI Routing Mode—Complete this task first.

•C201 Provision or Modify TARP Operating Parameters—Complete this task next.

•C202 Add a Static TID to NSAP Entry to the TARP Data Cache—Complete this task as needed.

•C204 Add a TARP Manual Adjacency Table Entry—Complete this task as needed.

•C205 Provision OSI Routers—Complete this task as needed.

•C206 Provision Additional Manual Area Addresses—Complete this task as needed.

•C207 Enable the OSI Subnet on the LAN Interface—Complete this task as needed.

•C208 Create an IP-Over-CLNS Tunnel—Complete this task as needed.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.
