You encounter several common issues when you configure IP addresses and static routes you require on a network that runs ONS 15454 optical switches. This document uses a documented lab setup to guide you through a typical network configuration, and explains where these common issues occur.
There are no specific requirements for this document.
This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
This document begins with how to establish link level connectivity, and moves on to describe how to configure and troubleshoot IP connectivity on the 15454, Cisco routers, and the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC). This document then provides a series of troubleshooting guides for the most common IP scenarios.
Although each IP network is unique, this document uses the network topology in Figure 1 to illustrate the principles that guide you to configure a 15454 IP network. After you read through the configuration steps for the sample network, you can apply them to your specific network.
Typically, you would plug the 15454 and the Personal Computer (PC) into a switch on the edge of each side of the routed network. Then create a routed network connection between the switches. In the topology diagram in Figure 1, Switch-A and Switch-B represent the switches on either side of the network, and Router-C represents the routed network.
Figure 1 – Sample Network Topology
Configure the ONS 15454 to see the IP address on the PC. The personal computer uses the ping and tracert commands to verify the IP connectivity to the ONS 15454.
The sample network uses two types of Ethernet cable, namely, straight-through and crossover. This table enables you to verify which type of Ethernet cable to use between the various network connections:
TCC | Wire wrapped backplane pins | ||
---|---|---|---|
PC or Workstation | Straight through cable | A1 | RJ-45 pin 2 |
B1 | RJ-45 pin 1 | ||
A2 | RJ-45 pin 6 | ||
Router | B2 | RJ-45 pin 3 | |
Hub or Switch | Cross over cable | A1 | RJ-45 pin 6 |
B1 | RJ-45 pin 3 | ||
A2 | RJ-45 pin 2 | ||
B2 | RJ-45 pin 1 |
Figure 2 shows an example of a straight-through Ethernet cable.
Note: The snap tab at both ends is to the back of the connector.
Figure 2 – Example of a Straight-through Ethernet Cable
Figure 3 illustrates an example of a crossover Ethernet cable.
Note: The snap tab at both ends is to the back of the connector.
Figure 3 – Example of a Crossover Ethernet Cable
The sample network uses the cables as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 – Cable Usage
If you need to troubleshoot the link level connectivity, the best place to begin is the LEDs on the RJ-45 ports.
Note: No LED is available on the RJ-45 port on the Timing Communication and Control (TCC) card.
In order to troubleshoot link level connectivity, ensure that you check for these issues:
Bad cable
Incorrect cable or pinouts
Bad port on TCC, PC, hub, or router (try another port or swap the port out)
Incorrect speed or duplex (the Ethernet port of TCC is 10baseT half duplex)
You can store upto 16 static routes in the 15454 network element database in order to provide IP connectivity to remote CTC workstations that attach to the 15454 through routers. Provision the static routes on the 15454 network element through the CTC.
Note: The current version of CTC software (v2.2.x) limits the number of concurrent CTC sessions per 15454 node to four. Release 3.x and later can handle up to five concurrent CTC sessions. CTC performance can vary, based upon the volume of activity in each session, network bandwidth, TCCx card load and the size of the DCC connected network.
For example, a Network Operations Center (NOC) can remotely monitor a 15454 through CTC, while at the same time an on-site employee is logged into a 15454 on the network with a separate CTC session.
In order to provision these static routes, you need to configure changes in the 15454 and CTC workstations. The next section provides an example of how to provision a static route on the 15454 for the router linked CTC workstation in the sample network topology.
For other typical IP address scenarios, see the Common IP Addressing Scenarios section of this document. These scenarios contain additional details on router and CTC workstation setup that support the static route provisioning on the 15454 network element described here.
Complete these steps to configure the 15454:
Select the Provisioning > Network tabs from the Node view of CTC.
Select Create in the Static Routes panel.
The Create Static Route panel appears:
Figure 5 – Create Static Routes
The Create Static Route panel provisions a static route to enable the 15454 to establish an IP session through the router to a CTC workstation at the destination IP address that you specify in the static route. In the sample network, the workstation resides in a Class B network with a 16-bit subnet mask. The IP address of the CTC workstation is 144.254.14.38.
The 15454 resides in a Class A network with an eight-bit subnet mask. The IP address of the Ethernet management interface (cpm0) on the TCC card is 10.200.100.11. On Router-C, the IP address of the Ethernet interface (E1) on the same segment as the 15454 is 10.200.100.5.
Figure 6 – Static Routes
If you experience problems when you try to configure static routes on the 15454, check for these issues:
Incorrect IP address or subnet mask:
Interfaces on the same network must have IP addresses that are within the same subnet to communicate directly.
Duplicate IP addresses:
IP addresses must be unique. The network portion can be the same for all addresses, but the host portion must be unique.
Incorrect or missing default gateway in 15454 gateway node:
Configure default router on gateway 15454 node as the Ethernet IP address of adjacent routers.
Incorrect or missing static routes in 15454 gateway node:
Configure the destination IP address in the static route to point to the IP address assigned to the CTC workstation. The static route is automatically redistributed to all other 15454 nodes.
In order to achieve CTC connectivity to each other, all of the interconnected 15454 network elements in a ring form an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) area. The nodes use the Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Data Communication Channel (SDCC) links for communication. The elements advertise the routing table information in the individual nodes to the other 15454s that the DCCs connect.
Assume that the 15454 in the sample network topology was one of four nodes in a Bi-Directional Line Switch Ring (BLSR) ring (see Figure 7).
Figure 7 – BLSR
The Node advertises the static route that you configured to the other three nodes in the ring.
Figure 8 indicates that the top left 15454 (10.200.100.11) advertises the static route to the other three nodes in the ring. All the nodes now share the static route in their routing tables.
Figure 8 – 10.200.100.11 Advertises the Static Route
Here are the possible causes of SDCC connectivity problems:
You have not configured SDCC terminations, or configured the terminations incorrectly. When you configure the SDCC, never change the area ID or Disable OSPF on the SDCC unless you want to divide the network into different OSPF areas for management purposes. You would generally use these parameters when you integrate the ONS network with OSPF on the LAN.
Fiber path is not established (Loss of Signal (LOS) and Loss of Frame (LOF) alarms and signal degradation).
Optical Carrier, level N (OC-N) ports are not in service.
You have not configured SDCC tunnels.
This section extends the sample network topology to include the four-node BLSR ring (see Figure 9):
Figure 9 – Network Topology with the 4-Node BLSR
The four nodes in the BLSR form an internal OSPF area, and redistribute the static routes learned among themselves. However, the OSPF area does not advertise the learned routes out of the Ethernet management interface (cpm0) on the TCC card on each of the nodes.
Router-C learns the IP address 10.200.100.11 of 15454-1 because the router sees the node as directly connected. However, the other three class A subnets that form the OSPF area within the BLSR are not directly connected to Router-C, and remain hidden. 15454-1 does not advertise the routes of these nodes out of the cpm0 interface to Router-C.
Note: From Cisco ONS15454 Release 3.3 onwards, Proxy server functionality is available. This functionality allows the Gateway ONS15454 to act as proxy for all nodes behind the gateway. This action alleviates the need for the router to have routes that point to all subnets behind the Gateway ONS15454.
Hence, Router C requires that you configure static routes for the three nodes to which the router is not directly connected. The static routes have the next hop IP address assigned to interface cpm0 on 15454-1 to which Router-C is directly connected. View the static route statements in the configuration of Router C, as shown here:
! hostname Router-C ! . . interface Ethernet0 ip address 10.200.100.5 255.0.0.0 ! interface Ethernet1 ip address 144.254.14.37 255.255.0.0 ! . . ip route 11.200.100.12 255.255.255.255 10.200.100.11 ip route 12.200.100.13 255.255.255.255 10.200.100.11 ip route 13.200.100.14 255.255.255.255 10.200.100.11 !. . line con 0 exec-timeout 0 0 password 7 131200 login line aux 0 line vty 0 4 password 7 010411 login ! end Router-C#
Figure 10 shows the output from the show ip route command on Router-C. Both Ethernet interfaces are directly connected, and the three 15454 nodes that are not directly connected are reachable via static routes.
Figure 10 – Output of the show ip route Command on Router-C
Refer to the IP Routing Scenario 5 section of this document for an example of how to define static routes.
Here are the common issues to check for in the enterprise network:
Verify IP connectivity between the IP subnets of the CTC workstations and the 15454 gateway nodes.
Check whether the routers in the enterprise Internet between the CTC workstation and 15454 gateway node have entries in the forwarding table for the CTC workstations IP subnet/major/super net, and the 15454 gateway nodes subnet/major/super net.
From router adjacent to 15454 gateway node, perform ping sourced from 15454 gateway nodes default gateway to CTC workstations default gateway.
Configure static routes for non-gateway 15454 nodes IP address subnet/major/super net in router adjacent to 15454 gateway node:
Ping from the router adjacent to the 15454 gateway node to each 15454 node.
Note: In networks that use the Proxy Server feature, only a SOCKS V5-aware ping application is successful.
Redistribute static routes into enterprise network:
Check whether static routes are redistributed into enterprise networks dynamic routing protocol or statically configured on each router between CTC workstation and 15454 gateway node?
Ping from the CTC workstation to each 15454 node.
Note: In networks that use the Proxy Server feature, only a SOCKS V5-aware ping application is successful.
Verify whether the nodes have a name in CTC map view. In other words, ensure that the nodes are not greyed out with just their IP address showing up.
From the DOS command line prompt on the workstation that runs the CTC application, issue the ping command to verify the IP reachability between the workstation and the Ethernet management interface of the TCC card on the 15454. Ping sends Internet Control Management Protocol (ICMP) type eight echo request packets to the destination host IP address you specify. The destination host must reply with ICMP type 0 echo reply packets.
Note: If you run Cisco ONS 15454 Release 3.3 or higher, and use the Proxy Server feature, ping and tracert is successful only to the Gateway NE. You require a SOCKS V5-aware Ping and tracert client to reach any Network Elements (NEs) behind the Gateway NE.
See Figure 11 for a list of the available operands you can specify with the ping command:
Figure 11 – List of the Available Operands
Use ping to send 10 ICMP type eight echo request packets to the IP address assigned to the Ethernet management interface of the 15454 (10.200.100.11). As you go over Ethernet, also send the requests with the maximum Ethernet packet size of 1500 bytes.
Figure 12 – Send 10 ICMP Type Eight Echo Request Packets to 10.200.100.11
As you can see, despite a 10% loss that occurs due to the timeout of the echo requests, you can successfully reach the IP address assigned to the Ethernet management interface on the TCC card in the 15454.
In order to verify the path taken to the 15454, issue the tracert command from the DOS command line prompt (see Figure 13).
Figure 13 – Issue the tracert Command from the DOS Prompt
Next, use the tracert command to specify the destination IP address (10.200.100.11) assigned to the Ethernet management interface of the TCC card on the 15454.
Figure 14 – Specify the Destination IP address of the Ethernet Management Interface
Here, you can see that the destination IP address is two hops away. The first hop is 144.254.14.37, which is the IP address assigned to the Ethernet 0 interface of the Ethernet segment to which the CTC workstation is connected. The second hop is 10.200.100.11, which is the IP address assigned to the Ethernet management interface of the TCC card in the 15454.
If you experience IP connectivity problems from the CTC, check for these issues:
Incorrect IP addresses or subnet mask:
Interfaces on the same network must have IP addresses that are within the same subnet to communicate directly.
Duplicate IP addresses:
IP addresses must be unique. The network portion can be the same for all addresses but the host portion must be unique.
Incorrect or missing default gateway or static route.
Unexpected IP address on a dual honed PC:
Check whether the CTC application sees an unexpected IP address on a dual honed PC. In other words, check whether you have dual Network Interface Cards (NIC) installed on the PC.
You can set up the IP address, subnet mask, and default router addresses of the ONS 15454 through the slot, status, and port buttons on the front panel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). You can accomplish these basic operations without a computer.
You can lock out the front panel LCD access to network configuration. Click the Provisioning > Network tabs in the Node view of CTC. Select the Prevent LCD IP Config button, and click Apply.
Note: The LCD reverts to normal display mode after 30 seconds of button inactivity.

15454 IP addressing generally has seven common IP addressing scenarios or configurations. Refer to these illustrations and checklists when you set IP addresses and configue subnets. You must be able to answer with a "yes" to each checklist question to be sure that all you meet all IP addressing guidelines. If you answer with a "no" to any of the questions, you need to see the IPScenario Troubleshooting section of this document.
