ALS tabs for supported cards. ALS defaults are supported for PPM (SFP) OC-N ports on the CTX2500
card.
Note ML-100T-8 console port access and RADIUS server access defaults can be found in the CTC card-level
IOS tab for ML-100T-8 cards.
Configuration defaults that correspond to settings that are reachable from the CTC card-level
Provisioning tabs (except as noted) include the following types of options (arranged by CTC subtab):
• Broadband Ports—(DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3 and DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 cards only) Set the BBE port rate
as DS3, EC1, or unassigned (DS3 is the default).
• DS1—(DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3 and DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 cards only) DS-1 rate port-level line
configuration settings.
• DS3—(DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3 and DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 cards only) DS-3 rate port-level line
configuration settings.
• EC1—(DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3 and DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 cards only) EC-1 rate port-level line
configuration and SONET STS settings.
• Pluggable Port Modules—(CTX2500 cards only) PPM (SFP) slot and port rate configuration
settings.
• Optical—(CTX2500 cards only) OC-N rate port-level line configuration and SONET STS settings.
• ALS (card-level Maintenance > Optical > ALS tab)—(CTX2500 cards only) PPM (SFP) OC-N port

C.5.2 Threshold Defaults
Note Line configuration defaults for the CE-100T-8 apply to both Ethernet port and POS port settings, where
the same setting exists for both.
Note PPM (SFP) slots and ports are unassigned by default. You can optionally use the Defaults editor to
change these defaults to automatically assign PPM slots to take a single-port PPM, and to automatically
assign PPM port OC-N rates. However, use discretion in changing the default PPM port rate in cases
where single-rate PPMs might be inserted in a card, since preprovisioned PPM port rates that are applied
to a single-rate PPM of the wrong rate will result in a mismatch of equipment and software.
Note For further information about the supported features of each individual card, see Chapter 3, “Card
Reference.”For further information about the supported features of Ethernet cards, consult the
Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration
Guide.
C.5.2 Threshold Defaults
Threshold default settings define the default cumulative values (thresholds) beyond which a TCA will
be raised, making it possible to monitor the network and detect errors early.
Card threshold default settings are provided as follows:
• PM thresholds—(CTX2500, DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3, and DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 cards) Applicable to
DS-1, DS-3, EC-1, and OC-N ports. Can be expressed in counts or seconds; includes line, electrical,
and SONET thresholds.
• Physical Layer thresholds—(CTX2500 cards only) Applicable to OC-N ports. Expressed in
percentages; includes optics thresholds.
Threshold defaults are defined for near end and/or far end, at 15-minute and one-day intervals.
Thresholds are further broken down by type, such as Section, Line, STS, or VT for PM thresholds, and
TCA (warning) or Alarm (for physical thresholds). PM threshold types define the layer to which the
threshold applies. Physical threshold types define the level of response expected when the threshold is
crossed.
Note For full descriptions of the thresholds you can set for each card, see Chapter 12, “Performance
Monitoring.”
Note For additional information regarding PM parameter threshold defaults as defined by Telcordia
specifications, refer to Telcordia GR-820-CORE and GR-253-CORE.
C.5.3 Defaults by Card
In the tables that follow, card defaults are defined by the default name, its factory-configured value, and
the domain of allowable values that you can assign to it.C-32

Note Some default values, such as certain thresholds, are interdependent. Before changing a value, review the
domain for that default and any other related defaults for potential dependencies.

C.6 Cisco ONS 15310-MA Node Default Settings
Table C-9 on page C-65 lists the node-level default settings for the Cisco ONS 15310-MA. Cisco
provides the following types of node-level user-configurable defaults:
• Circuit settings—Set the administrative state and path protection circuit defaults.
• General settings—Set general node management defaults, including whether to use DST, whether
to insert AIS-V in each VT when the carrying STS crosses the SD path BER threshold, the IP
address of the NTP/SNTP server to be used, the time zone where the node is located, the SD path
BER value, the defaults description, whether to raise a condition on an empty card slot, and whether
to report loopback conditions on ports with an OOS-MT service state.
• Network settings—Set whether to prevent the display of node IP addresses in CTC (applicable for
all users except Superusers), default gateway node type, and whether to raise an alarm when the
backplane LAN cable is disconnected.
• OSI settings—Set OSI main setup, GRE tunnel, LAP-D, router subnet, and TARP settings.
• 1+1 and Optimized 1+1 protection settings—Set whether or not protected circuits have bidirectional
switching, are revertive, and what the reversion time is; set optimized 1+1 detection, recovery, and
verify guard timer values.

Note Optimized 1+1 supports three timers that ensure the correct state of the cards at key points
in card communication. A verification guard timer is used when a Force is issued, to ensure
that the far end has a chance to respond. A detection guard timer is used to ensure the
presence of an SF/SD condition before switching away from a card. A recover guard timer
ensures the absence of SF/SD prior to switching to a card. You can change the default
number of seconds before these timers expire by changing the NE default for the
corresponding timer to a value within its domain of allowable values.
• Legal Disclaimer—Set the legal disclaimer that warns users at the login screen about the possible
legal or contractual ramifications of accessing equipment, systems, or networks without
authorization.
• Security Access settings—Set default security settings for LAN access, shell access, serial craft
access, EMS access (including IIOP listener port number), TL1 access, and SNMP access.
• Security Grant Permissions—Set default user security levels for activating/reverting software, PMC
learning, database restoring, and retrieving audit logs.
• Security RADIUS settings—Sets default RADIUS server settings for accounting port number,
authentication port number, and whether to enable the node as a final authenticator.
• Security Policy settings—Set the allowable failed logins before lockout, idle user timeout for each
user level, optional lockout duration or manual unlock enabled, password reuse and change
frequency policies, number of characters difference between the old and new password, password
aging by security level, enforced single concurrent session per user, and option to disable inactive
user after a set inactivity period.
• BITS Timing settings—Set the AIS threshold, coding, framing, State, State Out, and LBO settings
for BITS-1 and BITS-2 timing.
• General Timing settings—Set the mode (External, Line, or Mixed), quality of reserved (RES) timing
(set the rule that defines the order of clock quality from lowest to highest), revertive, reversion time,
and SSM message set for node timing.
Note For more information about each individual node setting, refer to the “Change Node Settings” chapter

Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
TCC2 Card
The node database, IP address, and system software are stored in TCC2 nonvolatile memory, which
allows quick recovery in the event of a power or card failure.
The TCC2 performs all system-timing functions for each ONS 15454. The TCC2 monitors the recovered
clocks from each traffic card and two building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports for frequency
accuracy. The TCC2 selects a recovered clock, a BITS, or an internal Stratum 3 reference as the
system-timing reference. You can provision any of the clock inputs as primary or secondary timing
sources. A slow-reference tracking loop allows the TCC2 to synchronize with the recovered clock, which
provides holdover if the reference is lost.
The TCC2 monitors both supply voltage inputs on the shelf. An alarm is generated if one of the supply
voltage inputs has a voltage out of the specified range.
Install TCC2 cards in Slots 7 and 11 for redundancy. If the active TCC2 fails, traffic switches to the
protect TCC2.
The TCC2 card has two built-in interface ports for accessing the system: an RJ-45 10BaseT LAN
interface and an EIA/TIA-232 ASCII interface for local craft access. It also has a 10BaseT LAN port for
user interfaces via the backplane.
2.3.2 Redundant TCC2 Card Installation
Cisco does not support operation of the ONS 15454 with only one TCC2 card. For full functionality and
to safeguard your system, always operate with two TCC2 cards.
When a second TCC2 card is inserted into a node, it synchronizes its software, its backup software, and
its database with the active TCC2. If the software version of the new TCC2 does not match the version
on the active TCC2, the newly inserted TCC2 copies from the active TCC2, taking about 15 to 20
minutes to complete. If the backup software version on the new TCC2 does not match the version on the
active TCC2, the newly inserted TCC2 copies the backup software from the active TCC2 again, taking
about 15 to 20 minutes. Copying the database from the active TCC2 takes about 3 minutes. Depending
on the software version and backup version the new TCC2 started with, the entire process can take
between 3 and 40 minutes.
2.3.3 TCC2 Card-Level Indicators
The TCC2 faceplate has ten LEDs. Table 2-2 describes the two card-level LEDs on the TCC2 faceplate.
Table 2-2 TCC2 Card-Level Indicators
Card-Level LEDs Definition

TCC2P Card
2.4 TCC2P Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 only)
Note For TCC2P card specifications, see the “A.3.2 TCC2P Card Specifications” section on page A-5.
The Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control Plus (TCC2P) card is an enhanced version of the
TCC2 card. The primary enhancements are Ethernet security features and 64K composite clock BITS
timing.
The TCC2P card performs system initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance,
diagnostics, IP address detection/resolution, SONET SOH DCC/GCC termination, and system fault
detection for the ONS 15454. The TCC2P also ensures that the system maintains Stratum 3
(Telcordia GR-253-CORE) timing requirements. It monitors the supply voltage of the system.
The TCC2P card supports multi-shelf management. The TCC2P card acts as a shelf controller and node
controller for the ONS 15454. The TCC2P card supports up to 12 subtended shelves through the
MSM-ISC card or external switch. In a multi-shelf configuration, the TCC2P card allows the ONS 15454
node to be a node controller if an M6 shelf is subtended to it.
The TCC2P card is compliant to the following standards:
• The LAN interface of the TCC2P card meets the standard Ethernet specifications by supporting a
cable length of 328 ft (100 m) at temperatures from 32 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 65 degrees
Celsius). The interfaces can operate with a cable length of 32.8 ft (10 m) maximum at temperatures
from –40 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit (–40 to 0 degrees Celsius).
• The TCC2P card is Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) complaint. The RoHS
regulations limit or ban the specific substances such as lead, cadmium, polybrominated biphenyl
(PBB), mercury, hexavalent chromium, and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants
in a new electronic and electric equipment.

TCC2P Card
2.4.1 TCC2P Functionality
The TCC2P card supports multichannel, high-level data link control (HDLC) processing for the DCC.
Up to 84 DCCs can be routed over the TCC2P card and up to 84 section DCCs can be terminated at the
TCC2P card (subject to the available optical digital communication channels). The TCC2P selects and
processes 84 DCCs to facilitate remote system management interfaces.
The TCC2P card also originates and terminates a cell bus carried over the module. The cell bus supports
links between any two cards in the node, which is essential for peer-to-peer communication. Peer-to-peer
communication accelerates protection switching for redundant cards.
The node database, IP address, and system software are stored in TCC2P card nonvolatile memory,
which allows quick recovery in the event of a power or card failure.
The TCC2P card performs all system-timing functions for each ONS 15454. The TCC2P card monitors
the recovered clocks from each traffic card and two BITS ports for frequency accuracy. The TCC2P card
selects a recovered clock, a BITS, or an internal Stratum 3 reference as the system-timing reference. You
can provision any of the clock inputs as primary or secondary timing sources. A slow-reference tracking
loop allows the TCC2P card to synchronize with the recovered clock, which provides holdover if the
reference is lost.
The TCC2P card supports 64/8K composite clock and 6.312 MHz timing output.
The TCC2P card monitors both supply voltage inputs on the shelf. An alarm is generated if one of the
supply voltage inputs has a voltage out of the specified range.
Install TCC2P cards in Slots 7 and 11 for redundancy. If the active TCC2P card fails, traffic switches to
the protect TCC2P card. All TCC2P card protection switches conform to protection switching standards
when the bit error rate (BER) counts are not in excess of 1 * 10 exp – 3 and completion time is less than
50 ms.
The TCC2P card has two built-in Ethernet interface ports for accessing the system: one built-in RJ-45
port on the front faceplate for on-site craft access and a second port on the backplane. The rear Ethernet
interface is for permanent LAN access and all remote access via TCP/IP as well as for Operations
Support System (OSS) access. The front and rear Ethernet interfaces can be provisioned with different
IP addresses using CTC.
Two EIA/TIA-232 serial ports, one on the faceplate and a second on the backplane, allow for craft
interface in TL1 mode.
Note To use the serial port craft interface wire-wrap pins on the backplane, the DTR signal line on the
backplane port wire-wrap pin must be connected and active.
2.4.2 Redundant TCC2P Card Installation
Cisco does not support operation of the ONS 15454 with only one TCC2P card. For full functionality
and to safeguard your system, always operate with two TCC2P cards.
When a second TCC2P card is inserted into a node, it synchronizes its software, its backup software, and

2.5 TCC3 Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 only)
Note For TCC3 card specifications, see the “A.3.3 TCC3 Card Specifications” section on page A-6.
The Timing Communications Control Three (TCC3) card is an enhanced version of the TCC2P card. The
primary enhancements include the increase in memory size and compact flash space. The TCC3 card
boots up as TCC2P card in older releases and as TCC3 card from Release 9.2 onwards.
The TCC3 card performs system initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, diagnostics,
IP address detection/resolution, SONET SOH DCC/GCC termination, and system fault detection for the
ONS 15454. The TCC3 also ensures that the system maintains Stratum 3 (Telcordia GR-253-CORE)
timing requirements. It monitors the supply voltage of the system.
The TCC3 card supports multi-shelf management. The TCC3 card acts as a shelf controller and node
controller for the ONS 15454. The TCC3 card supports up to 30 subtended shelves through the
MSM-ISC card or external switch. In a multi-shelf configuration, the TCC3 card allows the ONS 15454
node to be a node controller if an M6 shelf is subtended to it. We recommend the use the TCC3 card as
a node controller when the number of subtended shelves exceeds 12.

Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
TCC3 Card
2.5.1 TCC3 Functionality
The TCC3 card supports multichannel, high-level data link control (HDLC) processing for the DCC. Up
to 84 DCCs can be routed over the TCC3 card and up to 84 section DCCs can be terminated at the TCC3
card (subject to the available optical digital communication channels). The TCC3 selects and processes
84 DCCs to facilitate remote system management interfaces.
The TCC3 card also originates and terminates a cell bus carried over the module. The cell bus supports
links between any two cards in the node, which is essential for peer-to-peer communication. Peer-to-peer
communication accelerates protection switching for redundant cards.
The node database, IP address, and system software are stored in the TCC3 card’s nonvolatile memory,
which allows quick recovery of data in the event of a power or card failure.
The TCC3 card performs all system-timing functions for the ONS 15454. The TCC3 card monitors the
recovered clocks from each traffic card and two BITS ports for frequency accuracy. The TCC3 card
selects a recovered clock, a BITS, or an internal Stratum 3 reference as the system-timing reference. You
can provision any of the clock inputs as primary or secondary timing sources. A slow-reference tracking
loop allows the TCC3 card to synchronize with the recovered clock, which provides holdover if the
reference is lost.
The TCC3 card supports 64/8K composite clock and 6.312 MHz timing output.
The TCC3 card monitors both the supply voltage inputs on the shelf. An alarm is generated if one of the
supply voltage inputs has a voltage level above the specified range.
The TCC3 card has two built-in Ethernet interface ports for accessing the system: one built-in RJ-45 port
on the front faceplate for on-site craft access and a second port on the backplane. The rear Ethernet
interface is for permanent LAN access and all remote access via TCP/IP as well as for Operations
Support System (OSS) access. The front and rear Ethernet interfaces can be provisioned with different
IP addresses using CTC.
Two EIA/TIA-232 serial ports, one on the faceplate and a second on the backplane, allow for craft
interface in TL1 mode.
Note To use the serial port craft interface wire-wrap pins on the backplane, the DTR signal line on the
backplane port wire-wrap pin must be connected and active.
2.5.2 Redundant TCC3 Card Installation
We do not recommend the operation of the ONS 15454 with only one TCC3 card. For full functionality
and to safeguard your system, always operate with two TCC3 cards.
Install TCC3 cards in Slots 7 and 11 for redundancy. If the active TCC3 card fails, traffic switches to the
protect TCC3 card. All TCC3 card protection switches conform to protection switching standards when
the bit error rate (BER) counts are not in excess of 1 * 10 exp – 3 and completion time is less than 50 ms.
When a second TCC3 card is inserted into a node, it synchronizes its software, backup software, and
database with those of the active TCC3 card. If the software version of the new TCC3 card does not
match the version on the active TCC3 card, the newly inserted TCC3 card copies from the active TCC3
card, taking about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Copying the database from the active TCC3 card takes
about 3 minutes. Depending on the software version and backup version the new TCC3 card started with,
the entire process can take between 3 and 40 minutes. 2-15

Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
TNC Card
The TNC card monitors both the supply voltage inputs on the 15454-M6 shelf. The TNC card raises an
alarm if one of the supply voltage inputs has a voltage out of the specified range. The 15454-M2 shelf
has dual power supply.
You can insert and remove the TNC card even when the system is online, without impacting the system
traffic.
You can upgrade the TSC card to a TNC card. During the upgrade, the TNC card does not support OSC
functions such as UDC, VoIP, DCC, and timing function. However, you can still provision the SFP ports
on the TNC card during the upgrade. The TNC and TSC cards cannot be inserted in the same shelf.
Note Downgrade procedures from TNC cards to TSC cards are not supported. For information on upgrading
TSC card to a TNC card, refer chapter, "Upgrade, Add, and Remove Cards and Nodes" in the Cisco ONS
15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
The TNC card supports all the alarms supported by the TCC2P and AIC-I cards. The card adjusts the fan
speed according to the temperature and reports a fan failure alarm.
Note The LAN interface of the TNC card meets the standard Ethernet specifications by supporting a cable
length of 328 ft (100 m) at temperatures from 32 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 65 degrees Celsius).
The interfaces can operate with a cable length of 32.8 ft (10 m) maximum at temperatures from -40 to
32 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 0 degrees Celsius).
2.6.1 Functions of TNC
The functions of the TNC card are explained in the following sections:
2.6.1.1 Communication and Control
The TNC card acts as node controller and shelf controller. The control tasks include system
initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, diagnostics, IP address detection, and
resolution. The control tasks also include SONET and SDH data communications channel (DCC)
termination, 84 section SDCC and multiplex section MSDCC terminations, 28 SDCC tunnels or
SDCC-to-line LDCC terminations, and system fault detection for the 15454-M2 and 15454-M6 shelves.
The system initialization tasks include assigning the network parameters to the system and loading the
system with the provisioning data stored in the database. The line cards in the system do not boot without
the TNC card.
The TNC card supports and provides the following:
• OSC communication to implement the Optical DCN, User Data Channels and Voice over IP
interface.
• Supervisory data channel (SDC) for communication between the nodes.
• Two point-to-point Ethernet channels at 10 Mbps to carry Voice over IP traffic.
• Two point-to-point Ethernet channels at 10/100 Mbps to carry UDC traffic.
• Passive inventory of external devices on the 15454-M2 and 15454-M6 shelves.
• Supports OSC, UDC, and VoIP traffic. Two UDC/VoIP ports are present on the external connection
unit that can be configured to carry UDC/VoIP traffic.2-18
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
TNC Card
Note The TNC card supports UDC and VoIP configuration only when OSC is configured on the ports. To
delete the OSC channel on a port, delete the UDC and VoIP configuration on that port. For more
information, refer chapter, "Install the Cisco ONS 15454 Shelf Assembly" in the Cisco ONS 15454
DWDM Procedure Guide.
On the 15454-M2 and 15454-M6 shelves, the TNC card must adhere to the following rules for
SDCC/LDCC allocation:
• SDCC + SDCC Tunnels <= 68
• LDCC <= 28
• IP Tunnels <= 10
• SDCC + SDCC tunnels + (LDCC * 3) <= 84
2.6.1.2 Optical Service Channel
The TNC card supports two optical service channels (OSC) through two small-form factor pluggable
(SFP) ports. The two SFP ports are named SFP1 and SFP2. The supported SFPs on TNC ports are
ONS-SC-OSC-ULH, ONS-SE-155-1510, and ONS-SC-Z3-1510.
Note When you replace SFPs on the TNC card, provisioning for the current SFP has to be deleted before the
new SFP is plugged in.
SFP1 supports the following payloads:
• OC-3/STM-1
• Fast Ethernet (FE)
• Gigabit Ethernet (GE)
SFP2 supports the following payloads:
• Fast Ethernet (FE)
• Gigabit Ethernet (GE)
2.6.1.3 Timing and Synchronization
The TNC card performs all the system-timing functions for the 15454-M2 and 15454-M6 shelves. This
includes short-term clock recovery, reducing the need to reset the calendar and time-of-day settings after
a power failure.
The TNC card ensures that the system maintains Stratum 3 (Telcordia GR-253-CORE) timing and
synchronization requirements. The TNC card supports external, line, and internal timing inputs.
The TNC card supports 64KHz+8KHz composite clock and 6.312 MHz timing output.
Note The TNC card supports the BITS-1 and BITS-2 external timing interfaces on the ONS 15454 M6 shelf.
The card supports the BITS-1 interface on the ONS 15454 M2 shelf.2-19
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
TNC Card
The TNC card monitors the recovered clocks from each traffic card and two building integrated timing
supply (BITS-1 and BITS-2) ports for accurate frequencies. The card selects a recovered clock, a BITS,
OC-N/STM-N, or an internal Stratum 3 reference as the system-timing reference. You can provision any
of the clock inputs as primary or secondary timing sources. A slow-reference tracking loop allows the
TNC card to synchronize with the recovered clock, which provides holdover if the reference is lost.
The card supports SNTP operation that allows the nodes to synchronize the system clock automatically
with a reference SNTP server following system reboots, card resets, and software upgrades.
For more information on the timing function, see the Timing Reference chapter.
2.6.1.4 MultiShelf Management
The TNC card supports multishelf management of up to 30 shelves including the node controller. The
card supports up to 29 subtending shelves. The subtending shelves can be the ONS 15454 M6 or ONS
15454 shelves. This allows network administrators to isolate faults and provision new services across
the DWDM network.
In the ONS 15454 M6 shelf, there are six FE RJ45 ports on the ECU and each TNC card supports three
FE RJ45 connections to connect subtending shelves.
2.6.1.5 Database Storage
The TNC card provides 4 GB of non-volatile database storage (IDE Compact Flash Module) for
communication, provisioning, and system control. This allows full database recovery during power
failure.
The TNC card supports writing and reading to and from an external non-volatile memory device. The
card also communicates with the non-volatile memory device through a USB 2.0 standard interface.
The USB-WRITE-FAIL alarm may be raised on the TNC card when synchronization occurs between
Compact Flash and USB Flash. If this alarm does not clear even after 20 minutes duration, it is
recommended to contact TAC.
For information on USB-WRITE-FAIL alarm, see the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide.
Note The configuration details are stored in the database of the TNC card. The database restore from a TNC
card to a TSC card or vice versa is not supported.
2.6.1.6 Interface Ports
The TNC card has three built-in interface ports:
• RJ-45 LAN port
• RJ-45 console port
• RS-232 port (serial port)
The RJ-45 LAN port and RS-232 port are located on the faceplate of the TNC card. The RJ-45 console
port is behind the faceplate of the TNC card.
The front access RJ-45 LAN port provides 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet connectivity to the system. The
RJ-45 LAN port has LEDs to provide link and activity status. The RJ-45 LAN port provides local and
remote access to the Cisco Transport Controller through a common Web interface.
The RJ-45 console port is used to launch a debug session on the TNC card.2-20
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
TNC Card
The RS-232 port is used to connect to the Transaction Language 1 (TL1) management interface. In TL1
mode, the RS-232 port runs at 9.6 Kbps without any flow control.
The front access LAN port and RJ-45 EMS LAN port can be provisioned with different IP addresses by
configuring the TNC card in secure mode using CTC. On 15454 M2, the EMS port is on the power
module. On 15454 M6, the EMS port is on the ECU.
The two SFP ports (SFP1 and SFP2) are used for primary OSC and secondary OSC connections. SFP1
supports OC-3/STM-1, FE, or GE payloads; SFP2 supports FE or GE payloads.
The two SFP ports on the TNC card are in IS,AINS administrative state during payload creation. In this
state, only the following alarms are raised:
• AS-MT alarm on PPM
• AS-CMD alarm on PPM and facility
• Prov-Mismatch alarm on PPM
The TX power is -40 and RX power is -50 for Ultra long-haul SFPs. The TX power is -40 and RX power
is -40 for other SFPs. When the OSC is created, the two SFP ports move to IS state. In this state, all the
supported alarms are raised.
Note VLAN tagged traffic is not supported on UDC or VoIP ports that are present on the external connection
unit.
2.6.1.7 External Alarms and Controls
The TNC card provides customer-defined (environmental) alarms and external controls on the ONS
15454 M6 shelf. The card provides input/output alarm contact closures. The TNC card operates in two
modes:
• External alarms mode - This is the default mode and up to 14 alarm input ports can be configured.
External alarms (input contacts) are typically used for external sensors such as open doors,
temperature sensors, flood sensors, and other environmental conditions.
• External control mode - Up to 10 alarm input ports and four alarm output ports can be configured.
External controls (output contacts) are typically used to drive visual or audible devices such as bells
and lights, but they can control other devices such as generators, heaters, and fans.
To configure the external alarms and external controls, go to Provisioning -> Alarm Extenders tab in the
CTC node view. To view the external alarms and external controls, go to Maintenance -> Alarm
Extenders tab in the CTC node view. For information on how to configure and view the external alarms
and external controls, refer chapter “Manage Alarms” in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Note The LCD module must be present in the ONS 15454 M6 shelf assembly to provision alarms from the
ECU, fan-tray assembly, or power modules.
For information on pinouts of external alarms and external controls, see the “ONS 15454 ANSI Alarm,
Timing, LAN, and Craft Pin Connections” section in the Cisco ONS 15454 Hardware Installtion Guide.2-21

2.6.3 Lamp Test
The TNC card supports a lamp test function that is activated by pressing the Lamp Test button on the
faceplate or from CTC. The lamp test function allows the user to test the working state of LEDs and
ensures that all LEDs are functional. When you activate the lamp test function, all the port LEDs
illuminate simultaneously for several seconds.
2.6.4 TNC Card Installation (ONS 15454 M6)
On the ONS 15454 M6 shelf, the TNC card operates in either simplex or duplex (redundant) control
mode. In redundant control mode, high availability is achieved.
When a redundant TNC card is inserted into a node, it synchronizes its software, backup software, and
database with the active TNC card. If the software versions do not match, the redundant TNC card copies
from the active TNC card, taking about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. If the software versions match, the
redundant TNC card copies the backup software from the active TNC card, taking about 15 to 20
minutes. Copying the database from the active TNC card takes about 3 minutes. Depending on the
software version and backup version the redundant TNC card started with, the entire process can take
between 3 and 40 minutes.
2.6.5 Card-Level Indicators
The TNC faceplate has twelve LEDs. Table 2-11 describes the two card-level LEDs on the TNC
faceplate.
2.6.6 Network-Level Indicators

2.6.10 Protection Schemes
The TNC card supports active and redundant architecture. The ONS 15454 M6 shelf supports 1:1
equipment protection with one TNC card acting as active and the other TNC card as redundant.
The ONS 15454 M2 shelf supports simplex control mode. In this mode, the active TNC card operates
without a redundant TNC card.
The ONS 15454 M6 shelf supports both simplex and redundant control mode. In redundant control
mode, the active TNC card operates with a redundant TNC card as the backup. If the active TNC card is
removed, system traffic switches to the redundant TNC card. If the redundant TNC card is not present
or not in the standby state, removing the active TNC card results in loss of system traffic and
management connectivity.
In redundant control mode, a TNC card can protect another TNC card. However, a TNC card cannot
protect a TSC card or vice versa.
2.6.11 Cards Supported by TNC
The TNC card supports 15454 MSTP line cards except the following cards:
• OSCM
• ISC
• AIC
• AIC-I
The TNC card is not interoperable with TCC2 /TCC2P/TCC3 cards. The TNC and TCC cards cannot be
inserted in the same shelf.
The line cards such as Transponder and Muxponder cards can be inserted in the ONS 15454 M2 and ONS
15454 M6 shelves along with the TNC card.
2.7 TSC Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 M2 and ONS 15454 M6 only)
The TSC card combines the functions of multiple cards such as TCC2P, ISC, and AIC-I cards. The card
has a similar look and feel to TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards.

Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
TSC Card
Note For TSC card specifications, see the A.3.5 TSC Card Specifications (ONS 15454 M2 and ONS 15454
M6), page A-7 section.
The TSC card is provisioned as master and slave in the ONS 15454 M6 shelf, and as a stand-alone card
in the ONS 15454 M2 shelf. The TSC card serves as the processor card for the node.
On the ONS 15454 M6 shelf, install redundant TSC cards in slots 1 and 8. If the active TSC card fails,
system traffic switches to the redundant TSC card. The TSC card supports line cards from slots 2 to 7.
On the ONS 15454 M2 shelf, install the stand-alone TSC card in slot 1. The TSC card supports line cards
in slots 2 and 3.
The TSC card monitors both the supply voltage inputs on the 15454-M6 shelf. The TSC card raises an
alarm if one of the supply voltage inputs has a voltage out of the specified range. The 15454-M2 shelf
has dual power supply.
You can insert and remove the TSC card even when the system is online, without impacting the system
traffic.
The TSC card does not support optical service channel (OSC) and SFP ports.
You can upgrade the TSC card to a TNC card. During the upgrade, the TNC card does not support OSC
functions such as UDC, VoIP, DCC, and timing function. However, you can still provision SFP ports on
the TNC card during the upgrade. The TNC and TSC cards cannot be inserted in the same shelf.
The TSC card supports all the alarms supported by the TCC2P and AIC-I cards. The card adjusts the fan
speed according to the temperature and reports a fan failure alarm.
Note The LAN interface of the TSC card meets the standard Ethernet specifications by supporting a cable
length of 328 ft (100 m) at temperatures from 32 to 149 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 65 degrees Celsius).
The interfaces can operate with a cable length of 32.8 ft (10 m) maximum at temperatures from -40 to
32 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 0 degrees Celsius).
2.7.1 Functions of TSC
The functions of the TSC card are explained in the following sections:
2.7.1.1 Communication and Control
The TSC card acts as a shelf controller. The control tasks include system initialization, provisioning,
alarm reporting, maintenance, diagnostics, IP address detection, and resolution. The control tasks also
include SONET and SDH data communications channel (DCC) termination, 84 section SDCC and
multiplex section MSDCC terminations, 28 SDCC tunnels or SDCC-to-line LDCC terminations, and
system fault detection for the ONS 15454 M2 and ONS 15454 M6 shelves.
The system initialization tasks include assigning the network parameters to the system and loading the
system with the provisioning data stored in the database. The line cards in the system do not boot without
the TSC card.
The TSC card supports and provides the following:
• Passive inventory of external devices on the 15454-M2 and 15454-M6 shelves.
• 100 Mbps UDC on the 15454-M6 shelf. 2-27
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
TSC Card
On the 15454-M2 and 15454-M6 shelves, the TSC card must adhere to the following rules for
SDCC/LDCC allocation.
• SDCC + SDCC Tunnels <= 68
• LDCC <= 28
• IP Tunnels <= 10
• SDCC + SDCC tunnels + (LDCC * 3) <= 84
2.7.1.2 Timing and Synchronization
The TSC card performs all the system-timing functions for the 15454-M2 and 15454-M6 shelves. This
includes short-term clock recovery, reducing the need to reset the calendar and time-of-day settings after
a power failure.
The TSC card ensures that the system maintains Stratum 3 (Telcordia GR-253-CORE) timing and
synchronization requirements. The TSC card supports external, line, and internal timing inputs.
The TSC card supports 64KHz+8KHz composite clock and 6.312 MHz timing output.
Note The TSC card supports the BITS-1 and BITS-2 external timing interfaces on the 15454-M6 shelf. The
card supports the BITS-1 interface on the 15454-M2 shelf.
The TSC card monitors the recovered clocks from each traffic card and two building integrated timing
supply (BITS-1 and BITS-2) ports for accurate frequencies. The card selects a recovered clock, a BITS,
OC-N/STM-N, or an internal Stratum 3 reference as the system-timing reference. You can provision any
of the clock inputs as primary or secondary timing sources. A slow-reference tracking loop allows the
TSC card to synchronize with the recovered clock, which provides holdover if the reference is lost.
The card supports SNTP operation that allows the nodes to synchronize the system clock automatically
with a reference SNTP server following system reboots, card resets, and software upgrades.
For more information on the timing function, see the Timing Reference chapter.
2.7.1.3 MultiShelf Management
The TSC card supports multishelf management with support for up to 30 shelves including the node
controller. The card supports up to 29 subtending shelves. The subtending shelves can be the 15454-M6
or 15454-DWDM shelves. This allows network administrators to isolate faults and provision new
services across the DWDM network.
In the 15454-M6 shelf, there are six FE RJ45 ports on the ECU. Each TSC card supports three FE RJ45
connections to connect subtending shelves.
2.7.1.4 Database Storage
The TSC card provides 4 GB of non-volatile database storage (IDE Compact Flash Module) for
communication, provisioning, and system control. This allows full database recovery during power
failure.
The TSC card supports writing and reading to and from an external non-volatile memory device. The
card also communicates with the non-volatile memory device through a USB 2.0 standard interface.2-28
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 2 Common Control Cards
TSC Card
Note The configuration details are stored in the database of the TSC card. The database restore from a TSC
card to a TNC card or vice versa is not supported.
2.7.1.5 Interface Ports
The TSC card has three built-in interface ports:
• RJ-45 LAN port
• RJ-45 console port
• RS-232 port (serial port)
The RJ-45 LAN port and RS-232 port are located on the faceplate of the TSC card. The RJ-45 console
port is behind the faceplate of the TSC card.
The front access RJ-45 LAN port provides 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet connectivity to the system. The
RJ-45 LAN port has LEDs to provide link and activity status. The RJ-45 LAN port provides local and
remote access to the Cisco Transport Controller through a common Web interface.
The RJ-45 console port is used to launch a debug session on the TSC card.
The RS-232 port is used to connect to the TL1 management interface. In TL1 mode, the RS-232 port
runs at 9.6 Kbps without any flow control.
The front access LAN port and RJ-45 EMS LAN port can be provisioned with different IP addresses by
configuring the TSC card in secure mode using CTC. On 15454 M2, the EMS port is on the power
module. On 15454 M6, the EMS port is on the ECU.
2.7.1.6 External Alarms and Controls
The TSC card provides customer-defined (environmental) alarms and external controls on the ONS
15454 M6 shelf. The card provides input/output alarm contact closures. The TSC card operates in two
modes:
• External alarms mode - This is the default mode and up to 14 alarm input ports can be configured.
External alarms (input contacts) are typically used for external sensors such as open doors,
temperature sensors, flood sensors, and other environmental conditions.
• External control mode - Up to 10 alarm input ports and four alarm output ports can be configured.
External controls (output contacts) are typically used to drive visual or audible devices such as bells
and lights, but they can control other devices such as generators, heaters, and fans.
To configure the external alarms and external controls, go to Provisioning -> Alarm Extenders tab in the
CTC node view. To view the external alarms and external controls, go to Maintenance -> Alarm
Extenders tab in the CTC node view. For information on how to configure and view the external alarms
and external controls, refer chapter “Manage Alarms” in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Note The LCD module must be present in the ONS 15454 M6 shelf assembly to provision alarms from the
ECU, fan-tray assembly, or power modules.
For information on pinouts of external alarms and external controls, see the “ONS 15454 ANSI Alarm,
Timing, LAN, and Craft Pin Connections” section in the Cisco ONS 15454 Hardware Installation Guide.2-29

2.7.1.7 Digital Image Signing (DIS)
The TSC card provides services that authenticate the origin of the software running on the
Cisco ONS 15454 M2 and Cisco ONS 15454 M6 platforms. For more information, see the 2.8 Digital
Image Signing, page 2-33 section.
2.7.2 Faceplate and Block Diagram
The faceplate design of the TSC card allows sufficient space to insert or remove cables while accessing
the Ethernet ports.
The TSC card can be installed only in slots 1 or 8 of the 15454-M6 shelf and in slot 1 of the 15454-M2
shelf. The TSC card has an identifier on the faceplate that matches with an identifier in the shelf. A key
is also provided on the backplane interface connectors as identifier in the shelf.
The TSC card supports field-programmable gate array (FPGA) for the backplane interface. The TSC
card has two FPGA: TCCA and SYNTIDE.

2.7.3 Lamp Test
The TSC card supports a lamp test function that is activated by pressing the Lamp Test button on the
faceplate or from CTC. The lamp test function allows the user to test the working state of LEDs and
ensures that all LEDs are functional. When you activate the lamp test function, all the port LEDs
illuminate simultaneously for several seconds.
2.7.4 TSC Card Installation (ONS 15454 M6)
On the ONS 15454 M6 shelf, the TSC card operates in either simplex or duplex (redundant) control
mode. In redundant control mode, high availability is achieved.
When a redundant TSC card is inserted into a node, it synchronizes its software, backup software, and
database with the active TSC card. If the software versions do not match, the redundant TSC card copies
from the active TSC card, taking about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. If the software versions match, the
redundant TSC card copies the backup software from the active TSC card, taking about 15 to 20 minutes.
Copying the database from the active TSC card takes about 3 minutes. Depending on the software
version and backup version the redundant TSC card started with, the entire process can take between 3
and 40 minutes.
2.7.5 Card-Level Indicators
The TSC faceplate has twelve LEDs. Table 2-11 describes the two card-level LEDs on the TSC faceplate.

2.8 Digital Image Signing
(Cisco ONS 15454 M2 and ONS 15454 M6 only)
The DIS feature complies with the new U.S. Government Federal Information
Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 to provide security for all software provided on the
Cisco ONS 15454 M6 and ONS 15454 M2 platforms. This standard requires software to be digitally
signed and verified for authenticity and integrity prior to load and execution.
DIS feature automatically provides increased protection. DIS focuses on software security and provides
increased protection from attacks and threats to Cisco ONS 15454 M2 and ONS 15454 M6 products.
DIS verifies software integrity and provides assurance that the software has not been tampered with or
modified. Digitally signed Cisco software provides counterfeit protection.
New controller cards, such as TNC/TSC, provide services that authenticate the origin of the software
running on the Cisco ONS 15454 M2 and Cisco ONS 15454 M6 platforms. The signage and verification
process is transparent until verification fails.
2.8.1 DIS Identification
Digitally signed software can be identified by the last three characters appended to the working version
and protected version field in CTC. The DIS conventions can be viewed under the working version
displayed in the Maintenance > Software tab in CTC. For example, 9.2.0 (09.20-X10C-29.09-SDA)

AIC-I Card
2.9.2 External Alarms and Controls
The AIC-I card provides input/output alarm contact closures. You can define up to 12 external alarm
inputs and 4 external alarm inputs/outputs (user configurable). The physical connections are made using
the backplane wire-wrap pins or FMEC connections. For information about increasing the number of
input/output contacts, see the “ONS 15454 ANSI Alarm Expansion Panel” section in the Cisco ONS
15454 Hardware Installation Guide.
LEDs on the front panel of the AIC-I indicate the status of the alarm lines, one LED representing all of
the inputs and one LED representing all of the outputs. External alarms (input contacts) are typically
used for external sensors such as open doors, temperature sensors, flood sensors, and other
environmental conditions. External controls (output contacts) are typically used to drive visual or
audible devices such as bells and lights, but they can control other devices such as generators, heaters,
and fans.
You can program each of the twelve input alarm contacts separately. You can program each of the sixteen
input alarm contacts separately. Choices include:
• Alarm on Closure or Alarm on Open
• Alarm severity of any level (Critical, Major, Minor, Not Alarmed, Not Reported)
• Service Affecting or Non-Service Affecting alarm-service level
• 63-character alarm description for CTC display in the alarm log
You cannot assign the fan-tray abbreviation for the alarm; the abbreviation reflects the generic name of
the input contacts. The alarm condition remains raised until the external input stops driving the contact
or you provision the alarm input.
The output contacts can be provisioned to close on a trigger or to close manually. The trigger can be a
local alarm severity threshold, a remote alarm severity, or a virtual wire:
• Local NE alarm severity: A hierarchy of Not Reported, Not Alarmed, Minor, Major, or Critical
alarm severities that you set to cause output closure. For example, if the trigger is set to Minor, a
Minor alarm or above is the trigger.
Green/Red PWR A LED The PWR A LED is green when a supply voltage within a specified range
has been sensed on supply input A. It is red when the input voltage on supply
input A is out of range.
Green/Red PWR B LED The PWR B LED is green when a supply voltage within a specified range has
been sensed on supply input B. It is red when the input voltage on supply
input B is out of range.
Yellow INPUT LED The INPUT LED is yellow when there is an alarm condition on at least one
of the alarm inputs.
Yellow OUTPUT LED The OUTPUT LED is yellow when there is an alarm condition on at least one
of the alarm outputs.
Green RING LED The RING LED on the local orderwire (LOW) side is flashing green when a
call is received on the LOW.
Green RING LED The RING LED on the express orderwire (EOW) side is flashing green when
a call is received on the EOW.

• Remote NE alarm severity: Same as the local NE alarm severity but applies to remote alarms only.
• Virtual wire entities: You can provision any environmental alarm input to raise a signal on any
virtual wire on external outputs 1 through 4 when the alarm input is an event. You can provision a
signal on any virtual wire as a trigger for an external control output.
You can also program the output alarm contacts (external controls) separately. In addition to
provisionable triggers, you can manually force each external output contact to open or close. Manual
operation takes precedence over any provisioned triggers that might be present.
Note For ANSI shelves, the number of inputs and outputs can be increased using the AEP. The AEP is
connected to the shelf backplane and requires an external wire-wrap panel.
2.9.3 Orderwire
Orderwire allows a craftsperson to plug a phoneset into an ONS 15454 and communicate with
craftspeople working at other ONS 15454s or other facility equipment. The orderwire is a pulse code
modulation (PCM) encoded voice channel that uses E1 or E2 bytes in section/line overhead.
The AIC-I allows simultaneous use of both local (section overhead signal) and express (line overhead
channel) orderwire channels on a SONET/SDH ring or particular optics facility. Express orderwire also
allows communication via regeneration sites when the regenerator is not a Cisco device.
You can provision orderwire functions with CTC similar to the current provisioning model for
DCC/GCC channels. In CTC, you provision the orderwire communications network during ring turn-up
so that all NEs on the ring can reach one another. Orderwire terminations (that is, the optics facilities
that receive and process the orderwire channels) are provisionable. Both express and local orderwire can
be configured as on or off on a particular SONET/SDH facility. The ONS 15454 supports up to four
orderwire channel terminations per shelf. This allows linear, single ring, dual ring, and small
hub-and-spoke configurations. Orderwire is not protected in ring topologies such as bidirectional line
switched ring (BLSR), multiplex section-shared protection ring (MS-SPRing), path protection, or
subnetwork connection protection (SNCP) ring.
Caution Do not configure orderwire loops. Orderwire loops cause feedback that disables the orderwire channel.
The ONS 15454 implementation of both local and express orderwire is broadcast in nature. The line acts
as a party line. Anyone who picks up the orderwire channel can communicate with all other participants
on the connected orderwire subnetwork. The local orderwire party line is separate from the express
orderwire party line. Up to four OC-N/STM-N facilities for each local and express orderwire are
provisionable as orderwire paths.
The AIC-I supports selective dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) dialing for telephony connectivity,
which causes one AIC-I card or all ONS 15454 AIC-I cards on the orderwire subnetwork to “ring.” The
ringer/buzzer resides on the AIC-I. There is also a “ring” LED that mimics the AIC-I ringer. It flashes
when a call is received on the orderwire subnetwork. A party line call is initiated by pressing *0000 on
the DTMF pad. Individual dialing is initiated by pressing * and the individual four-digit number on the
DTMF pad.
Table 2-22 shows the pins on the orderwire connector that correspond to the tip and ring orderwire
assignments. 2-38

When provisioning the orderwire subnetwork, make sure that an orderwire loop does not exist. Loops
cause oscillation and an unusable orderwire channel.

2.9.4 Power Monitoring
The AIC-I card provides a power monitoring circuit that monitors the supply voltage of –48 VDC for
presence, undervoltage, and overvoltage.
2.9.5 User Data Channel
The user data channel (UDC) features a dedicated data channel of 64 kbps (F1 byte) between two nodes
in an ONS 15454 network. Each AIC-I card provides two user data channels, UDC-A and UDC-B,
through separate RJ-11 connectors on the front of the AIC-I card. Each UDC can be routed to an
individual optical interface in the ONS 15454. For instructions, see the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Procedure Guide.
The UDC ports are standard RJ-11 receptacles. Table 2-23 lists the UDC pin assignments.

Optical Service Channel Cards
This chapter describes the optical service channel (OSC) cards for Cisco ONS 15454 dense wavelength
division multiplexing (DWDM) networks. For installation and card turn-up procedures, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. For card safety and compliance information, refer to the
Cisco Optical Transport Products Safety and Compliance Information document.
Note Unless noted otherwise, the cards described in this chapter are supported on the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco
ONS 15454 M6, Cisco ONS 15454 M2 platforms.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
Chapter topics include:
• 3.1 Card Overview, page 3-1
• 3.2 Class 1 Laser Safety Labels, page 3-3
• 3.3 OSCM Card, page 3-5
• 3.4 OSC-CSM Card, page 3-9
3.1 Card Overview
This section provides card summary and compatibility information.
Note Each card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 shelf assembly.
The cards are then installed into slots displaying the same symbols. For a list of slots and symbols, see
the “Card Slot Requirements” section in the Cisco ONS 15454 Hardware Installation Guide.
An optical service channel (OSC) is a bidirectional channel connecting two adjacent nodes in a DWDM
ring. For every DWDM node (except terminal nodes), two different OSC terminations are present, one
for the west side and another for the east side. The channel transports OSC overhead that is used to
manage ONS 15454 DWDM networks. An OSC signal uses the 1510-nm wavelength and does not affect
client traffic. The primary purpose of this channel is to carry clock synchronization and orderwire
channel communications for the DWDM network. It also provides transparent links between each node
in the network. The OSC is an OC-3/STM-1 formatted signal. 3-2

Card Overview
There are two versions of the OSC modules: the OSCM, and the OSC-CSM, which contains the OSC
wavelength combiner and separator component in addition to the OSC module.
The Mesh/Multiring Upgrade (MMU) card is used to optically bypass a given wavelength from one
section of the network or ring to another one without requiring 3R regeneration.
Note On 15454-M2 and 15454-M6 shelves, the TNC card includes the functions of the OSCM card. OSC can
be created on the OC3 port (SFP-0) of the TNC card.
The TNC card supports two optical service channels (OSC): primary OSC and secondary OSC.
The primary optical service channel (SFP-0) supports the following interfaces:
• OC-3/STM-1
• Fast Ethernet (FE)
• Gigabit Ethernet (GE).
The secondary optical service channel (SFP-1) supports the following interfaces:
• Fast Ethernet (FE)
• Gigabit Ethernet (GE).

3.2 Class 1 Laser Safety Labels
This section explains the significance of the safety labels attached to the OSCM and OSC-CSM cards.
The faceplates of the cards are clearly labeled with warnings about the laser radiation levels. You must
understand all warning labels before working on these cards.
3.2.1 Class 1 Laser Product Label
The Class 1 Laser Product label is shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Class 1 Laser Product Label
Class 1 lasers are products whose irradiance does not exceed the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE)
value. Therefore, for Class 1 laser products the output power is below the level at which it is believed
eye damage will occur. Exposure to the beam of a Class 1 laser will not result in eye injury and may
therefore be considered safe. However, some Class 1 laser products may contain laser systems of a
higher Class but there are adequate engineering control measures to ensure that access to the beam is not
reasonably likely. Anyone who dismantles a Class 1 laser product that contains a higher Class laser
system is potentially at risk of exposure to a hazardous laser beam
3.2.2 Hazard Level 1 Label
The Hazard Level 1 label is shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2 Hazard Level Label
The Hazard Level label warns users against exposure to laser radiation of Class 1 limits calculated in
accordance with IEC60825-1 Ed.1.2. This label is displayed on the faceplate of the cards.

Figure 3-6 Shock Hazard Label
This label alerts personnel to electrical hazard within the card. The potential of shock hazard exists when
removing adjacent cards during maintenance, and touching exposed electrical circuitry on the card itself.
This section describes the optical service channel cards. An optical service channel (OSC) is a
bidirectional channel connecting two adjacent nodes in a DWDM ring. For every DWDM node (except
terminal nodes), two different OSC terminations are present, one for the west side and another for the
east side. The channel transports OSC overhead that is used to manage ONS 15454 DWDM networks.
An OSC signal uses the 1510-nm wavelength and does not affect client traffic. The primary purpose of
this channel is to carry clock synchronization and orderwire channel communications for the DWDM
network. It also provides transparent links between each node in the network. The OSC is an
OC-3/STM-1 formatted signal.
There are two versions of the OSC modules: the OSCM, and the OSC-CSM, which contains the OSC
wavelength combiner and separator component in addition to the OSC module.
3.3 OSCM Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 only)
Note For OSCM card specifications, see the “A.4.1 OSCM Card Specifications” section on page A-11.
Note On 15454-M2 and 15454-M6 shelves, the TNC card includes the functions of the OSCM card.
The OSCM card is used in amplified nodes that include the OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, or OPT-BST-L
booster amplifier. The OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, and OPT-BST-L cards include the required OSC
wavelength combiner and separator component. The OSCM cannot be used in nodes where you use
OC-N/STM-N cards, electrical cards, or cross-connect cards. The OSCM uses Slots 8 and 10, which are
also cross-connect card slots.
The OSCM supports the following features:
• OC-3/STM-1 formatted OSC
• Supervisory data channel (SDC) forwarded to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards for processing
• Distribution of the synchronous clock to all nodes in the ring
• 100BaseT far-end (FE) User Channel (UC)
• Monitoring functions such as orderwire support and optical safety

Chapter 3 Optical Service Channel Cards
OSCM Card
The OC-3/STM-1 section data communications channel (SDCC or RS-DCC) overhead bytes are used
for network communications. An optical transceiver terminates the OC-3/STM-1, then it is regenerated
and converted into an electrical signal. The SDCC or RS-DCC bytes are forwarded to the active and
standby TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards for processing through the system communication link (SCL) bus on
the backplane. Orderwire bytes (E1, E2, F1) are also forwarded via the SCL bus to the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 for forwarding to the AIC-I card.
The payload portion of the OC-3/STM-1 is used to carry the fast Ethernet UC. The frame is sent to a
packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS) processing block that extracts the Ethernet packets and makes them
available at the RJ-45 connector.
The OSCM distributes the reference clock information by removing it from the incoming OC-3/STM-1
signal and then sending it to the DWDM cards. The DWDM cards then forward the clock information to
the active and standby TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards.3-7

3.3.3 OSCM Port-Level Indicators
You can find the status of the card ports using the LCD screen on the ONS 15454 fan-tray assembly. Use
the LCD to view the status of any port or card slot; the screen displays the number and severity of alarms
for a given port or slot. The OSCM has one OC-3/STM-1 optical port located on the faceplate. One
long-reach OSC transmits and receives the OSC to and from another DWDM node. Both DCN data and
FE payload are carried on this link.
3.4 OSC-CSM Card
Note For OSC-CSM card specifications, see the “A.4.2 OSC-CSM Card Specifications” section on
page A-12.
The OSC-CSM card is used in unamplified nodes. This means that the booster amplifier with the OSC
wavelength combiner and separator is not required for OSC-CSM operation. The OSC-CSM can be
installed in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. To operate in hybrid mode, the OSC-CSM cards must be
accompanied by cross-connect cards. The cross-connect cards enable functionality on the OC-N/STM-N
cards and electrical cards.
The OSC-CSM supports the following features:
• Optical combiner and separator module for multiplexing and demultiplexing the optical service
channel to or from the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) signal
• OC-3/STM-1 formatted OSC
• SDC forwarded to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards for processing
• Distribution of the synchronous clock to all nodes in the ring
• 100BaseT FE UC
• Monitoring functions such as orderwire support
• Optical safety: Signal loss detection and alarming, fast transmitted power shut down by means of an
optical 1x1 switch
• Optical safety remote interlock (OSRI), a feature capable of shutting down the optical output power
Green ACT LED The green ACT LED indicates that the OSCM is carrying traffic or is
traffic-ready.
Amber SF LED The amber SF LED indicates a signal failure or condition such as loss of
signal (LOS), loss of frame alignment (LOF), line alarm indication signal
(AIS-L), or high BER on one or more of the card’s ports. The amber signal
fail (SF) LED also illuminates when the transmit and receive fibers are
incorrectly connected. When the fibers are properly connected, the light
turns off.

• Automatic laser shutdown (ALS), a safety mechanism used in the event of a fiber cut. For details on
ALS provisioning for the card, see the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. For information
on using the card to implement ALS in a network, see the “12.11 Network Optical Safety” section
on page 12-27.
The WDM signal coming from the line is passed through the OSC combiner and separator, where the
OSC signal is extracted from the WDM signal. The WDM signal is sent along with the remaining
channels to the COM port (label on the front panel) for routing to the OADM or amplifier units, while
the OSC signal is sent to an optical transceiver.
The OSC is an OC-3/STM-1 formatted signal. The OC-3/STM-1 SDCC or RS-DCC overhead bytes are
used for network communications. An optical transceiver terminates the OC-3/STM-1, and then it is
regenerated and converted into an electrical signal. The SDCC or RS-DCC bytes are forwarded to the
active and standby TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards for processing via the SCL bus on the backplane.
Orderwire bytes (E1, E2, F1) are also forwarded via the SCL bus to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 for
forwarding to the AIC-I card.
The payload portion of the OC-3/STM-1 is used to carry the fast Ethernet UC. The frame is sent to a
POS processing block that extracts the Ethernet packets and makes them available at the RJ-45 front
panel connector.
The OSC-CSM distributes the reference clock information by removing it from the incoming
OC-3/STM-1 signal and then sending it to the active and standby TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards. The clock
distribution is different from the OSCM card because the OSC-CSM does not use Slot 8 or 10
(cross-connect card slots).
Note S1 and S2 (Figure 3-11 on page 3-13) are optical splitters with a splitter ratio of 2:98. The result is that
the power at the MON TX port is about 17 dB lower than the relevant power at the COM RX port, and
the power at the MON RX port is about 20 dB lower than the power at the COM TX port. The difference
is due to the presence of a tap coupler for the P1 photodiode.3-11

Chapter 4 Optical Amplifier Cards
Card Overview
Optical amplifiers are used in amplified nodes (such as hub nodes), amplified OADM nodes, and line
amplifier nodes. The nine types of ONS 15454 DWDM amplifiers are:
• Optical Preamplifier (OPT-PRE)
• Optical Booster amplifier (OPT-BST)
• Optical Booster Enhanced amplifier (OPT-BST-E)
• Optical Booster L-band amplifier (OPT-BST-L)
• Optical L-band preamplifier (OPT-AMP-L)
• Optical C-band amplifier (OPT-AMP-17-C).
• Optical C-band high-gain high-power amplifier (OPT-AMP-C)
• Optical C-band Raman amplifier (OPT-RAMP-C)
• Optical C-band enhanced Raman amplifier (OPT-RAMP-CE)
Optical amplifier card architecture includes an optical plug-in module with a controller that manages
optical power, laser current, and temperature control loops. An amplifier also manages communication
with the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card and operation, administration, maintenance, and
provisioning (OAM&P) functions such as provisioning, controls, and alarms.
4.1.1 Applications
Using CTC (CTC > Card > Provisioning), the following amplifiers can be configured as booster or
preamplifiers:
• OPT-AMP-C
• OPT-AMP-17C
• OPT-AMP-L
• OPT-BST-E
• OPT-BST
The amplifier functions as a booster amplifier by default. The amplifier role is automatically configured
when the CTP NE update configuration file is loaded in CTC. The amplifier role can also be manually
modified.
Note The OPT-BST and OPT-BST-E amplifiers are supported as preamplifiers in sites that are equipped with
the OPT-RAMP-C card. In any other configuration, the OPT-BST and OPT-BST-E cards must be
configured as a booster amplifier.
For more information about the supported configurations and network topologies, see Chapter 11, “Node
Reference” and Chapter 12, “Network Reference.”

4.8.3 OPT-AMP-17-C Automatic Power Control
A transient gain range of 20 to 23 dB is available to APC in order to permit other amplifiers to reach
their expected set points. However, operation in this range is not continuous. At startup, the
OPT-AMP-17-C card caps the gain at a maximum of 20 dB.
Note When the OPT-AMP-17-C operates as a booster amplifier, APC does not control its gain.
4.8.4 OPT-AMP-17-C Power Monitoring
Physical photodiodes P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 monitor power for the OPT-AMP-17-C card. Table 4-14
shows the returned power level values calibrated to each port.
The power on the OSC-TX and COM-TX ports are calculated by adding the insertion loss (IL) to the
power reported from P3 and P4.
The OSC power on the LINE TX is calculated by adding the IL to the power reported from P5.
The PM parameters for the power values are listed in Table 19-31.

The OPT-AMP-C card is a 20-dB output power, C-band, DWDM EDFA amplifier/preamplifier. It
contains mid-stage access loss for a Dispersion Compensation Unit (DCU). To control gain tilt, a VOA
is used. The VOA can also be used to attenuate the signal to the DCU to a reference value. The amplifier
module also includes the OSC add (TX direction) and drop (RX direction) optical filters.
The OPT-AMP-C card supports 80 channels at 50-GHz channel spacing in the C-band (that is, the 1529
nm to 1562.5 nm wavelength range). When an ONS 15454 has an OPT-AMP-C card installed, an OSCM
card is needed to process the OSC. You can install the OPT-AMP-C card in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
Slots 2 to 6 and Slots 12 to 16 are the default slots for provisioning the OPT-AMP-C card as a
preamplifier, and slots 1 and 17 are the default slots for provisioning the OPT-AMP-C card as a booster
amplifier.
The card’s features include:
• Fast transient suppression
• Nondistorting low-frequency transfer function
• Mid-stage access for DCU
• Constant pump current mode (test mode)
• Fixed output power mode (mode used during provisioning)
• Constant gain mode

assembly. Use the LCD to view the status of any port or card slot; the screen displays the number and

4.10 OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE Cards
(Cisco ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 M6 only)
Note For hardware specifications, see the “A.5.8 OPT-RAMP-C Amplifier Card Specifications” section on
page A-17 and “A.5.9 OPT-RAMP-CE Amplifier Card Specifications” section on page A-18.
Note For OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE card safety labels, see the “4.2 Class 1M Laser Safety Labels”
section on page 4-5.
The OPT-RAMP-C card is a double-slot card that improves unregenerated sections in long spans using
the span fiber to amplify the optical signal. Different wavelengths in C-band receive different gain
values. To achieve Raman amplification, two Raman signals (that do not carry any payload or overhead)
are required to be transmitted on the optical fiber because the gain generated by one signal is not flat.
The energy of these Raman signals transfer to the higher region of the spectrum thereby amplifying the
signals transmitted at higher wavelengths. The Raman effect reduces span loss but does not compensate
it completely.
When the Raman optical powers are set correctly, a gain profile with limited ripple is achieved. The
wavelengths of the Raman signals are not in the C-band of the spectrum (used by MSTP for payload
signals). The two Raman wavelengths are fixed and always the same. Due to a limited Raman gain, an
EDFA amplifier is embedded into the card to generate a higher total gain. An embedded EDFA gain
block provides a first amplification stage, while the mid stage access (MSA) is used for DCU loss
compensation.
The OPT-RAMP-CE card is a 20 dBm output power, gain-enhanced version of the OPT-RAMP-C card
and is optimized for short spans. The OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE cards can support up to 80
optical transmission channels at 50-GHz channel spacing over the C-band of the optical spectrum
(wavelengths from 1529 nm to 1562.5 nm). To provide a counter-propagating Raman pump into the
transmission fiber, the Raman amplifier provides up to 500 mW at the LINE-RX connector. The
OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE card can be installed in Slots 1 to 5 and 12 to 16, and supports all
network configurations. However, the OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE card must be equipped on both
endpoints of a span.
The Raman total power and Raman ratio can be configured using CTC. For information on how to
configure the Raman parameters, refer the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. The Raman
configuration can be viewed on the Maintenance > Installation tab.
The features of the OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE card include:
• Raman pump with embedded EDFA gain block
• Raman section: 500 mW total pump power for two pump wavelengths
• EDFA section:

Chapter 4 Optical Amplifier Cards
OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE Cards
Two Raman pump lasers are combined internally and launched in-fiber at the LINE-RX port, thereby
counter-propagating with the DWDM signal. An EDFA gain block provides further amplification of the
DWDM signal, which allows regulated output power entry in the mid stage access and acts upon the
VOA attenuation. While the optical filters are present for the OSC add and drop functions, the OSC
signal counter-propagates with the DWDM signal. Two monitor ports, MON-RX and MON-TX, are
provided at the EDFA input and output stages and are used to evaluate the total gain ripple. A total of 12
photodiodes (PDs) are provided, allowing full monitoring of RP power, DWDM power, and OSC power
in each section of the device. In particular, PD12 allows the detection of the remnant Raman pump power
at the end of the counter-pumped span, while PD11 detects the amount of Raman pump power
backscattered by the LINE-RX connector and transmission fiber.
The EDFA section calculates the signal power, considering the expected ASE power contribution to the
total output power. The signal output power or the signal gain can be used as feedback signals for the
EDFA pump power control loop. The ASE power is derived according to the working EDFA gain. PD2,
PD3, and PD4 provide the total power measured by the photodiode and the signal power is derived by
calculating the total power value. The insertion loss of the main optical path and the relative optical
attenuation of the two monitor ports are stored into the card’s not-volatile memory.
4.10.3 OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE Card Power Monitoring
Physical photodiodes PD1 through PD12 monitor the power for the OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE

Chapter 5 Multiplexer and Demultiplexer Cards
Card Overview
Table 5-6 lists the optical interface performance parameters for 2.5-Gbps cards that provide signal input
to multiplexer and demultiplexer cards.
5.1.4 Channel Allocation Plan
ONS 15454 DWDM multiplexer and demultiplexer cards are designed for use with specific channels in
the C band and L band. In most cases, the channels for these cards are either numbered (for example, 1
to 32 or 1 to 40) or delimited (odd or even). Client interfaces must comply with these channel
assignments to be compatible with the ONS 15454 system.
Table 5-7 lists the channel IDs and wavelengths assigned to the C-band DWDM channels.
1. OSNR = optical signal-to-noise ratio
2. BER = bit error rate
3. These values, decreased by patchcord and connector losses, are also the input power values for the OADM cards.

Safety Labels
Figure 5-1 Class 1 Laser Product Label
Class 1 lasers are products whose irradiance does not exceed the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE)
value. Therefore, for Class 1 laser products the output power is below the level at which it is believed
eye damage will occur. Exposure to the beam of a Class 1 laser will not result in eye injury and may
therefore be considered safe. However, some Class 1 laser products may contain laser systems of a higher
class but there are adequate engineering control measures to ensure that access to the beam is not
reasonably likely. Anyone who dismantles a Class 1 laser product that contains a higher Class laser
system is potentially at risk of exposure to a hazardous laser beam
5.2.1.2 Hazard Level 1 Label
The Hazard Level 1 label is shown in Figure 5-2. This label is displayed on the faceplate of the cards.

32MUX-O Card
5.3 32MUX-O Card
Note See the “A.7.1 32MUX-O Card Specifications” section on page A-20 for hardware specifications.
The 32-Channel Multiplexer (32MUX-O) card multiplexes 32 100-GHz-spaced channels identified in
the channel plan. The 32MUX-O card takes up two slots in an ONS 15454 and can be installed in
Slots 1 to 5 and 12 to 16.
The 32MUX-O features include:
• Arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) device that enables full multiplexing functions for the channels.
• Each single-channel port is equipped with VOAs for automatic optical power regulation prior to
multiplexing. In the case of electrical power failure, the VOA is set to its maximum attenuation for

Tunable Dispersion Compensating Units
This chapter explains the Tunable Dispersion Compensating Units (T-DCU) used in Cisco ONS 15454
dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks. For installation and card turn-up
procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. For card safety and compliance
information, refer to the Cisco Optical Transport Products Safety and Compliance Information
document.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
The T-DCU unit compensates for chromatic dispersion (CD) of the transmission fiber. The T-DCU
provides two line cards with varied set of tunable wavelengths to compensate for CD.
This chapter includes:
• 6.1 Card Overview, page 6-1
• 6.2 Class 1M Laser Safety Labels, page 6-2
• 6.3 TDC-CC and TDC-FC Cards, page 6-3
• 6.4 Monitoring Optical Performance, page 6-7
6.1 Card Overview
The T-DCU card provides a selectable set of discrete negative chromatic dispersion values to
compensate for chromatic dispersion of the transmission line. The card operates over the entire C-band
(in the range of 1529.0 nm to 1562.5 nm) and monitors the optical power at the input and the output
ports. The two types of T-DCU line cards are:
• TDC-CC (Coarse T-DCU)
• TDC-FC (Fine T-DCU)
Note Each T-DCU card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 shelf
assembly. Cards should be installed in slots that have the same symbols. See the 1.16.1 Card Slot
Requirements section on page 1-59 for a list of slots and symbols.6-2

6.3.3 Functioning of Optical Ports
The T-DCU unit contains the DC-RX (input) and DC-TX (output) ports. The optical signal enters the
DC-RX port, compensates the chromatic dispersion and then exits from the DC-TX port.
6.3.4 TDC-CC and TDC-FC Block Diagram
The TDC-CC and TDC-FC cards embed an optical module with four spools (D1, D2, D3, and D4) of
dispersion compensating fiber that connects through the 2x2 bypass switches (Figure 6-6). Each bypass
switch allows the corresponding dispersion compensation fiber spools to connect to the optical path from
the DC-RX (input port) to the DC-TX (output port). The switch configuration selects the requested CD
value and combines the four spools based on the 16 chromatic dispersion compensation values fetched.
The photodiodes PD1 and PD2 are used to monitor the input and output ports respectively.

Protection Switching Module
This chapter describes the Protection Switching Module (PSM) card used in Cisco ONS 15454 dense
wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks. For installation and card turn-up procedures,
refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. For card safety and compliance information,
refer to the Cisco Optical Transport Products Safety and Compliance Information document.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
Chapter topics include:

• 7.2 Key Features
• 7.3 PSM Block Diagram
• 7.4 PSM Faceplate Ports
• 7.5 PSM Card-Level Indicators
• 7.6 PSM Bidirectional Switching
7.1 PSM Card Overview
The PSM card performs splitter protection functions. In the transmit (TX) section of the PSM card (see
Figure 7-1), the signal received on the common receive port is duplicated by a hardware splitter to both
the working and protect transmit ports. In the receive (RX) section of the PSM card (Figure 7-1), a
switch is provided to select one of the two input signals (on working and protect receive ports) to be
transmitted through the common transmit port.
The PSM card supports multiple protection configurations:
• Channel protection—The PSM COM ports are connected to the TXP/MXP trunk ports.
• Line (or path) protection—The PSM working (W) and protect (P) ports are connected directly to the
external line.
• Multiplex section protection—The PSM is equipped between the MUX/DMX stage and the
amplification stage.
• Standalone—The PSM can be equipped in any slot and supports all node configurations.7-2

78-19285-02
Chapter 7 Protection Switching Module
Key Features
The PSM card is a single-slot card that can be installed in any node from Slot 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. The
PSM card includes six LC-PC-II optical connectors on the front panel. In channel protection
configuration, the PSM card can be installed in a different shelf from its peer TXP/MXP card.
Note It is strongly recommended that you use the default layouts designed by Cisco Transport
Planner, which place the PSM card and its peer TXP/MXP card as close as possible to simplify
cable management.
For more information on the node configurations supported for the PSM card, see the “11.3 Supported
Node Configurations for PSM Card” section on page 11-38.
For more information on the network topologies supported for the PSM card, see the “12.6 Network
Topologies for the PSM Card” section on page 12-19.
7.2 Key Features
The PSM card provides the following features:
• Operates over the C-band (wavelengths from 1529 nm to 1562.5 nm) and L-band (wavelengths from
1570.5 nm to 1604 nm) of the optical spectrum.
• Implements bidirectional nonrevertive protection scheme. For more details on bidirectional
switching, see the “7.6 PSM Bidirectional Switching” section on page 7-5.
• Supports automatic creation of splitter protection group when the PSM card is provisioned.
• Supports switching priorities based on ITU-T G.873.1.
• Supports performance monitoring and alarm handling with settable thresholds.
• Supports automatic laser shutdown (ALS), a safety mechanism used in the event of a fiber cut. ALS
is applicable only in line protection configuration. For details on ALS provisioning for the card,
refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. For information about using the card to
implement ALS in a network, see the “12.11 Network Optical Safety” section on page 12-27.

PSM Faceplate Ports
Figure 7-1 PSM Block Diagram
7.4 PSM Faceplate Ports
The PSM card has six optical ports located on the faceplate:
• COM-RX (receive) is the input signal port.
• COM-TX (transmit) is the output signal port.
• W-RX is the working input signal port (receive section).
• W-TX is the working output signal port (transmit section).
• P-RX is the protect input signal port (receive section).
• P-TX is the protect output signal port (transmit section).
All ports are equipped with photodiodes to monitor optical power and other related thresholds. The
COM-RX port is equipped with a virtual photodiode (firmware calculations of port optical power) to
monitor optical power. The W-RX, P-RX, W-TX, and P-TX ports have optical power regulation, which
are provided by variable optical attenuators (VOA). All VOAs equipped within the PSM card work in
control attenuation mode.

Chapter 7 Protection Switching Module
PSM Bidirectional Switching
7.6 PSM Bidirectional Switching
A VOA is equipped after the hardware splitter within the PSM card. The VOA implements bidirectional
switching when there is a single fiber cut in a protection configuration involving two peer PSM cards.
Figure 7-3 shows a sample configuration that explains the bidirectional switching capability of the PSM
card.
Figure 7-3 PSM Bidirectional Switching
In this example, there is a fiber cut in the working path from Station A to Station B as shown in
Figure 7-3. As a result of the fiber cut, an LOS alarm is raised on the W-RX port of Station B and it
immediately switches traffic on to its P-RX port. Station B simultaneously also stops transmission (for
approximately 25 milliseconds) on its W-TX port, which raises an LOS alarm on the W-RX port of
Station A. This causes Station A to also switch traffic to its P-RX port. In this way, PSM implements
bidirectional switching without any data exchange between the two stations.
Since the two stations do not communicate using signaling protocols (overhead bytes), a Manual or
Force protection switch on the PSM card is implemented by creating a traffic hit. For example, consider
that you perform a Manual or Force protection switch on Station A. The TX VOA on the active path is
set to automatic VOA shutdown (AVS) state for 25 milliseconds. This causes Station B to switch traffic
to the other path because it cannot differentiate between a maintenance operation and a real fail. After
25 milliseconds, the VOA in Station A is automatically reset. However, Station B will not revert back
by itself because of nonrevertive switching protection scheme used in the PSM card.
Green ACT LED The green ACT LED indicates that the PSM is carrying
traffic or is traffic-ready.
Amber SF LED The amber SF LED indicates a signal failure or condition
such as LOS on one or more of the card’s ports. The
amber SF LED also turns on when the transmit and
receive fibers are incorrectly connected. When the fibers
are properly connected, the light turns off.

Chapter 7 Protection Switching Module
PSM Bidirectional Switching
To effectively implement switching, the Lockout and Force commands must be performed on both the
stations. If these commands are not performed on both the stations, the far-end and near-end PSMs can
be misaligned. In case of misalignment, when a path recovers, traffic might not recover automatically.
You might have to perform a Force protection switch to recover traffic.
Note The order in which you repair the paths is important in the event of a double failure (both the working
and protect paths are down due to a fiber cut) on the PSM card in line protection configuration when the
active path is the working path. If you repair the working path first, traffic is automatically restored.
However, if you repair the protect path first, traffic is not automatically restored. You must perform a
Force protection switch to restore traffic on the protect path.CHAPTER

Card Overview
8.1.4 DWDM Card Channel Allocation Plan
ONS 15454 DWDM channel OADM and band OADM cards are designed for use with specific channels
in the C band. In most cases, the channels for these cards are either numbered (for example, 1 to 32) or
delimited (odd or even). Client interfaces must comply with these channel assignments to be compatible
with the ONS 15454 system.
Table 8-7 lists the channel IDs and wavelengths assigned to the C-band DWDM channels.
Note In some cases, a card uses only some or all of the channels listed in a band. Also, some cards use channels
on the 100-GHz ITU-T grid while others use channels on the 50-GHz ITU-T grid. See specific card
descriptions in Appendix A, “Hardware Specifications,” for more details.

8.5.4 AD-4C-xx.x Port-Level Indicators
You can find the status of the card port using the LCD screen on the ONS 15454 fan-tray assembly. Use
the LCD to view the status of any port or card slot; the screen displays the number and severity of alarms
for a given port or slot. The AD-4C-xx.x card has 12 LC-PC-II optical ports: eight for add/drop channel
client input and output, two for express channel input and output, and two for communication.
8.6 AD-1B-xx.x Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 only)
Note See the “A.9.4 AD-1B-xx.x Card Specifications” section on page A-47 for hardware specifications.
The 1-Band OADM (AD-1B-xx.x) card passively adds or drops a single band of four adjacent
100-GHz-spaced channels. Eight versions of this card with eight different part numbers—each version
designed for use with one band of wavelengths—are used in the ONS 15454 DWDM system. The card
bidirectionally adds and drops in two different sections on the same card to manage signal flow in both
directions. This card can be used when there is asymmetric adding and dropping on each side (east or
west) of the node; a band can be added or dropped on one side but not on the other.
The AD-1B xx.x can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to17 and has the following features:
• Passive cascaded interferential filters perform the channel add and drop functions.
• Two software-controlled VOAs regulate the optical power flowing in the express and drop OADM
paths (drop section).
• Output power of the dropped band is set by changing the attenuation of the VOA drop.
• The VOA express is used to regulate the insertion loss of the express path.
• VOA settings and functions, photodiode detection, and alarm thresholds are internally controlled.
• Virtual photodiode (firmware calculation of port optical power) at the common DWDM output are
monitored within the software.
Figure 8-16 shows the AD-1B-xx.x faceplate.
Green ACT LED The green ACT LED indicates that the AD-4C-xx.x card is carrying traffic
or is traffic-ready.
Amber SF LED The amber SF LED indicates a signal failure or condition. The amber SF
LED also illuminates when the transmit and receive fibers are incorrectly
connected. When the fibers are properly connected, the light turns off.

9.1.4 Channel Allocation Plans
ONS 15454 DWDM ROADM cards are designed for use with specific channels in the C band and
L band. In most cases, the channels for these cards are either numbered (for example, 1 to 32 or 1 to 40)
or delimited (odd or even). Client interfaces must comply with these channel assignments to be
compatible with the ONS 15454 system.
. The following cards operate in the C-band:
• 32WSS
• 32DMX
• 32DMX-C
• 40-MUX-C
• 40-WXC-C
• 80-WXC-C
• 40-SMR1-C
• 40-SMR2-C
• MMU
Table 9-10 lists the C-band channel IDs and wavelengths at ITU-T 50-GHz intervals. This is a

32WSS Card
9.3.1 32WSS Faceplate Ports
The 32WSS has six types of ports:
• ADD RX ports (1 to 32): These ports are used for adding channels (listed in Table 9-13 on
page 9-22). Each add channel is associated with an individual switch element that selects whether
that channel is added. Each add port has optical power regulation provided by a variable optical
attenuator (VOA). The 32WSS has four physical receive connectors that accept multifiber push-on
(MPO) cables on its front panel for the client input interfaces.Each MPO cable breaks out into eight
separate cables.
• EXP RX port: The EXP RX port receives an optical signal from another 32WSS card in the same
network element (NE).
• EXP TX port: The EXP TX port sends an optical signal to the other 32WSS card within the NE.
• COM TX port: The COM TX (line input) port sends an aggregate optical signal to a booster
amplifier card (for example, OPT-BST) for transmission outside of the NE.
• COM RX port: The COM RX port receives the optical signal from a preamplifier (such as the
OPT-PRE) and sends it to the optical splitter.
• DROP TX port: The DROP TX port sends the split-off optical signal containing drop channels to
the 32DMX card, where the channels are further processed and dropped.
Figure 9-7 shows the 32WSS card front panel and identifies the traffic flow through the ports. 9-18

32WSS Card
Figure 9-9 32WSS Optical Block Diagram
The EXP RX PORT and COM RX PORT operate as follows:
• EXP RX Port Add Channel/Pass-through Processing
The incoming optical signal is received at the EXP RX port from the other 32WSS card within the
NE. The incoming aggregate optical signal is demultiplexed into 32 individual wavelengths, or
channels. Each channel is then individually processed by the optical switch, which performs
add/pass-through processing. By using software controls, the switch either selects the optical
channel coming in from the demultiplexer (that is, the pass-through channel) or it selects the
external ADD channel. If the ADD port channel is selected this channel is transmitted and the
optical signal coming from the demultiplexer is blocked.
After the optical switch stage, all of the channels are multiplexed into an aggregate optical signal,
which is sent out on the COM TX port. The output is typically connected to an OPT-BST or
OPT-BST-E card (in the event a booster amplifier is needed) or to an OSC-CSM card (if no
amplification is needed).
• COM RX Port Optical Splitter Processing
The COM RX port receives the incoming optical signal and directs it to the 32WSS card’s optical
splitter. The splitter optically diverts channels that are designated to be dropped to the DROP TX
port. The DROP TX port is typically connected to the COM RX port of the 32DMX where the drop
channels are being dropped. Channels that are not dropped pass-through the optical splitter and flow
out of the 32WSS card EXP TX port. Typically, this optical signal is connected to the other 32WSS
module within the NE.

• COM TX Port Monitoring
The COM TX value can be measured by either a physical or a virtual photodiode of the
15454-32WSS card. If the vendor ID of the 15454-32WSS card is between 1024 (0x400) and
2047 (0x800) the COM TX value is measured by physical photodiode. If the vendor ID of the
15454-32WSS card is greater than 2048 (0x800), the COM TX value is measured by the virtual
photodiode. For COM TX values measured by virtual photodiode, check the values at the RX port
in the downstream of the COM TX port (COM-RX port on OPT-BST or OSC-CSM card).
9.3.3 32WSS ROADM Functionality
The 32WSS card works in combination with the 32DMX card to implement ROADM functionality. As
a ROADM node, the ONS 15454 can be configured to add or drop individual optical channels using
CTC, Cisco TransportPlanner, and Cisco Transport Manager (CTM). ROADM functionality using the
32WSS card requires two 32DMX single-slot cards and two 32WSS double-slot cards (totalling six slots
needed in the ONS 15454 chassis).
For other cards’ ROADM functionality, see that card’s description in this chapter. For a diagram of a
typical ROADM configuration, see the “11.1.3 ROADM Node” section on page 11-10.
Note A terminal site can be configured using only a 32WSS card and a 32DMX card plugged into the east or
west side of the shelf.
9.3.4 32WSS Power Monitoring
Physical photodiodes P1 through P69 monitor the power for the 32WSS card. Table 9-12 shows how the
returned power level values are calibrated to each port.
For information on the associated TL1 AIDs for the optical power monitoring points, refer the “CTC
Port Numbers and TL1 Aids” section in Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide, Release 9.2.

9.4.3 32WSS-L ROADM Functionality
The 32WSS-L works in combination with the 32DMX-L to implement L-band (1570 to 1620 nm)
functionality. As a ROADM node, the ONS 15454 can be configured to add or drop individual optical
channels using CTC, Cisco TransportPlanner, and CTM. ROADM functionality using the 32WSS-L card
requires two 32DMX-L single-slot cards and two 32WSS-L double-slot cards (totalling six slots needed
in the ONS 15454 chassis).
For other cards’ ROADM functionality, see that card’s description in this chapter. For a diagram of a
typical ROADM configuration, see the “11.1.3 ROADM Node” section on page 11-10.
Note A terminal site can be configured using a 32WSS-L card and a 32DMX-L card plugged into the east or
west side of the shelf.
9.4.4 32WSS-L Power Monitoring
Physical photodiodes P1 through P69 monitor the power for the 32WSS-L card. Table 9-15 shows the
returned power level values calibrated to each port.
For information on the associated TL1 AIDs for the optical power monitoring points, refer the “CTC
Port Numbers and TL1 Aids” section in Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide, Release 9.2.
9.4.5 32WSS-L Channel Plan
The 32WSS-L card uses 32 banded channels on the ITU-T 100-GHz grid, as shown in Table 9-16.

9.5 32DMX Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 only)
Note See the “A.8.1 32DMX Card Specifications” section on page A-22 for hardware specifications.
The single-slot 32-Channel Demultiplexer (32DMX) card is an optical demultiplexer. The card receives
an aggregate optical signal on its COM RX port and demultiplexes it into to (32) ITU-T 100-GHz-spaced
channels. The 32DMX card can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and in Slots 12 to 17.
9.5.1 32DMX Faceplate Ports
The 32DMX card has two types of ports:
• COM RX port: COM RX is the input port for the aggregate optical signal being demultiplexed. This
port is supported by a VOA for optical power regulation and a photodiode for optical power
monitoring.
• DROP TX ports (1 to 32): On its output, the 32DMX provides 32 drop ports (listed in Table 9-19 on
page 9-33) that are typically used for dropping channels within the ROADM node. These ports are
connected using four 8-fiber MPO ribbon connectors. The incoming optical signal to the
demultiplexer comes into the COM RX port. This input port is connected using a single LC duplex
optical connector.Each drop port has a photodiode for optical power monitoring. Unlike the two-slot
32DMX-O demultiplexer, the drop ports on the 32DMX do not have a VOA per channel for optical
power regulation. For a description of the 32DMX-O card, see the “5.4 32DMX-O Card” section
on page 5-17.
Figure 9-13 shows the 32DMX card front panel and the basic traffic flow through the ports.

(Cisco ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 M6 only)
Note See the “A.8.6 40-DMX-C Card Specifications” section on page A-30 for hardware specifications.
The single-slot 40-Channel Demultiplexer C-band (40-DMX-C) card demultiplexes 40 100-GHz-spaced
channels identified in the channel plan (Table 9-25 on page 9-43), and sends them to dedicated output
ports. The overall optical power can be adjusted using a single VOA that is common to all channels. The
40-DMX-C card is unidirectional, optically passive, and can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
9.7.1 40-DMX-C Faceplate Ports
The 40-DMX-C has two types of ports:
• COM RX port: COM RX is the line input port for the aggregate optical signal being demultiplexed.
This port is supported by a VOA for optical power regulation and a photodiode for per channel
optical power monitoring.
Note By default, the VOA is set to its maximum attenuation for safety purposes (for example,
electrical power failure). A manual VOA setting is also available.
• DROP TX ports (1 to 40): On its output, the 40-DMX-C card provides 40 drop ports that are
typically used for dropping channels within the ROADM node. These ports are connected using five
physical connectors on the front panel that accept MPO client input cables. (MPO cables break out
into eight separate cables.) The 40-DMX-C card also has one LC-PC-II optical connector for the
main input.

9.7.3 40-DMX-C ROADM Functionality
The 40-DMX-C card works in combination with the 40-WSS-C card to implement ROADM
functionality. As a ROADM node, the ONS 15454 can be configured at the optical channel level using
CTC, Cisco TransportPlanner, and CTM. ROADM functionality using the 40-DMX-C card requires two
single-slot 40-DMX-C cards and two 40-WSS-C double-slot cards (for a total of six slots in the
ONS 15454 chassis).

9.8 40-DMX-CE Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 M6 only)
Note See the “A.8.7 40-DMX-CE Card Specifications” section on page A-31 for hardware specifications.
The single-slot 40-Channel Demultiplexer C-band, even channels (40-DMX-CE) card demultiplexes 40
100-GHz-spaced even-numbered channels identified in the channel plan (Table 9-28 on page 9-48), and
sends them to dedicated output ports. The overall optical power can be adjusted using a single VOA that
is common to all channels. The 40-DMX-CE card is unidirectional, optically passive, and can be
installed in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
9.8.1 40-DMX-CE Card Faceplate Ports
The 40-DMX-CE card has two types of ports:
• COM RX port: COM RX is the line input port for the aggregate optical signal being demultiplexed.
This port is supported by a VOA for optical power regulation and a photodiode for per channel
optical power monitoring.
Note By default, the VOA is set to its maximum attenuation for safety purposes (for example,
electrical power failure). A manual VOA setting is also available.
Table 9-26 40-DMX-C Card-Level Indicators
Card-Level Indicators Description
Red FAIL LED The red FAIL LED indicates that the card’s processor is not ready or that an
internal hardware failure occurred. Replace the card if the red FAIL LED
persists.
Green ACT LED The green ACT LED indicates that the 40-DMX-C card is carrying traffic or
is traffic-ready.
Amber SF LED The amber SF LED indicates a signal failure on one or more of the card’s

You can find the alarm status of the 40-MUX-C card ports using the LCD screen on the ONS 15454
fan-tray assembly. The screen displays the number and severity of alarms on a given port or slot. For the
procedure to view these counts, refer to “Manage Alarms” in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure
Guide.
9.10 40-WSS-C Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 M6 only)
Note See the “A.8.8 40-WSS-C Card Specifications” section on page A-32 for hardware specifications.
The double-slot 40-channel Wavelength Selective Switch C-Band (40-WSS-C) card switches 40 ITU-T
100-GHz-spaced channels identified in the channel plan (Table 9-25 on page 9-43) and sends them to
dedicated output ports. The 40-WSS-C card is bidirectional and optically passive. The card can be
installed in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17
The 40-WSS-C features include:
• Receipt of an aggregate DWDM signal into 40 output optical channels from the Line receive port
(EXP RX) in one direction and from the COM-RX port in the other direction.
• Per-channel optical power monitoring using photodiodes.
• Signal splitting in a 70%-to-30% ratio, sent to the 40-DMX-C for dropping signals, then to the other
40-WSS-C card.
• Aggregate DWDM signal monitoring and control through a variable optical attenuator (VOA). In
the case of electrical power failure, the VOA is set to its maximum attenuation for safety purposes.
A manual VOA setting is also available.
Within the 40-WSS-C card, the first AWG opens the spectrum and each wavelength is directed to one of
the ports of a 1x2 optical switch. The same wavelength can be passed through or stopped. If the
pass-through wavelength is stopped, a new channel can be added at the ADD port. The card’s second
AWG multiplexes all of the wavelengths, and the aggregate signal is output through the COM-TX port.
9.10.1 40-WSS-C Faceplate Ports
The 40-WSS-C has eight types of ports:
• ADD RX ports (1 to 40): These ports are used for adding channels. Each add channel is associated
with an individual switch element that selects whether an individual channel is added. Each add port
has optical power regulation provided by a VOA. The five connectors on the card faceplate accept
MPO cables for the client input interfaces. MPO cables break out into eight separate cables. The
40-WSS-C card also has one LC-PC-II optical connector for the main input.
• COM RX: The COM RX port receives the optical signal from a preamplifier (such as the OPT-PRE)
and sends it to the optical splitter.
• COM TX: The COM TX port sends an aggregate optical signal to a booster amplifier card (for
example, the OPT-BST card) for transmission outside of the NE.9-56

• EXP RX port: The EXP RX port receives an optical signal from another 40-WSS-C card in the same
NE.
• EXP TX: The EXP TX port sends an optical signal to the other 40-WSS-C card within the NE.
• DROP TX port: The DROP TX port sends the split off optical signal that contains drop channels to
the 40-DMX-C card, where the channels are further processed and dropped.

9.10.3 40-WSS-C ROADM Functionality
The 40-WSS-C card works in combination with the 40-DMX-C card to implement ROADM
functionality. As a ROADM node, the ONS 15454 can be configured at the optical channel level using
CTC, Cisco TransportPlanner, and CTM. ROADM functionality using the 40-WSS-C card requires two
40-WSS-C double-slot cards and two 40-DMX-C single-slot cards (for a total of six slots in the
ONS 15454 chassis).
For information about ROADM functionality for other cards, see that card’s description in this chapter.
For a diagram of a typical ROADM configuration, see the “11.1.3 ROADM Node” section on
page 11-10.
9.10.4 40-WSS-C Power Monitoring
The 40-WSS-C has physical diodes that monitor power at various locations on the card. Table 9-33 lists

(Cisco ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 M6 only)
Note See the “A.8.10 40-WXC-C Card Specifications” section on page A-37 or hardware specifications.
The double-slot 40-channel Wavelength Cross-Connect C-band (40-WXC-C) card selectively sends any
wavelength combination coming from nine input ports to a common output port. The device can manage
up to 41 channels spaced at 100GHz on each port according to the channel grid in Table 9-10 on
page 9-11. Each channel can be selected from any input. The card is optically passive and provides
bidirectional capability. It can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
.The 40-WXC-C card provides the following features:
• Demultiplexing, selection, and multiplexing of DWDM aggregate signal from input ports to
common output port.
• Aggregate DWDM signal monitoring and control through a VOA.
• VOAs are deployed in every channel path in order to regulate the channel’s optical power. In the case
of an electrical power failure, VOAs are set to their maximum attenuation value, or to a fixed and
configurable one. The VOA can also be set manually.
• Per-channel optical power monitoring using photodiodes.
The 40-WXC-C card acts as a selector element with the following characteristics:
• It is able to select a wavelength from one input port and pass the wavelength through to the common
out port. Simultaneously, the card can block the same wavelength coming from the other eight input
ports.
• It is able to stop wavelengths from all nine inputs.

For information on the associated TL1 AIDs for the optical power monitoring points, refer the “CTC
Port Numbers and TL1 Aids” section in Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide, Release 9.2.
Additionally, the 40-WXC-C has two virtual diodes. Virtual diodes are monitor points for each physical
photodiode; they are identified with a physical diode relative to the way that the physical diode is
identified with one of the two interlink (ILK) ports. Table 9-42 lists the virtual diodes.
The usage of WXC and mesh PP power readings to troubleshoot a LOS-P in WXC COM TX port in Side
A is described in the following example. The example is explained assuming a single wavelength
1558.17 in the setup that comes from Side H to Side A. If there is more than one wavelength, then there
is a risk of dropping traffic when pulling common fibers. The example is explained below:
When the wavelength from side H is 1558.17, you can check the power reading at WXC EXP TX port
of the WXC card and verify the consistency with side H pre output power and WXC COMRX-EXPTX
port loss. You can also check with a power meter connected to the 8th fiber (since it is from side H) of
an MPO-FC (or LC) cable connected to the TAP-TX port of the MESH-PP. This value should be
consistent with the previous reading, less than the insertion loss of the installed PP-MESH. If it is
consistent, the issue is with the MPO between side A WXC and PP-MESH. If it is not consistent, the
issue is with the PP-MESH or the LC-LC from side H. With only the PP-MESH already tested during
installation, the only issue can be with the patch cord b.
You can check if the 1558.17 wavelength from side H is unequalized (that is, if the channel is not aligned
with the linear fit of the power values of the other channels) by keeping the DMX COM-RX port of side
H in maintenance, and checking both the signal and ASE levels of CHAN-TX ports of the DMX card. If
the channel is equalized (that is, if the channel is aligned with the linear fit of the power values of the
other channels), then the issue is in the WXC side A that cannot properly regulate the VOA for such
channel. If the channel is unequalized, then the issue is on a remote node.
Note With an OSA or a spare 40 DMX, you can see the light coming from all the sides from TAP-TX of the
PP-MESH.

80-WXC-C Card
Note See the “A.8.11 80-WXC-C Card Specifications” section on page A-38 or hardware specifications.
The double-slot 80-channel Wavelength Cross-Connect C-band (80-WXC-C) card manages up to 80
ITU-T 100-GHz-spaced channels identified in the channel plan (Table 9-10 on page 9-11) and sends
them to dedicated output ports. Each channel can be selected from any input port to any output port. The
card is optically passive, and provides bidirectional capability. It can be installed in Slots 1 to 5 and
12 to 16 the ONS 15454 chassis and Slots 2 to 6 in the ONS 15454 M6 chassis.
The 80-WXC-C card provides the following functionalities:
• When used in the multiplexer or bidirectional mode, the 80-WXC-C card allows selection of a single
wavelength or any combination of wavelengths from any of the nine input ports to the common
output port.
• When used in the bidirectional mode, the output wavelength from the COM-RX port is split to
manage the express and drop wavelengths.
• When used in the demultiplexer mode, the 80-WXC-C card, allows selection of a single wavelength
or a combination of wavelengths from the common input port to any of the nine output ports.
• Automatic VOA shutdown (AVS) blocking state on each wavelength and port.
• Per-channel (closed loop) power regulation on the output port based on OCM block feedback.
• Per-channel (open loop) attenuation regulation on the output port which is not based on the OCM
feedback.
The OCM unit provides per-channel optical power monitoring on the following ports:
• COM port in output direction
• COM port in input direction
• DROP-TX port in output direction
• Eight Express/Add/Drop (EAD) ports and one Add/Drop (AD) port in both input and output
directions
9.13.1 80-WXC-C Faceplate and Optical Module Functional Block Diagram
The 80-WXC-C card has 14 types of ports:
• MON: The MON port monitors power on the COM T/R port.
• COM RX: The COM RX port receives the optical signal from a preamplifier (such as the OPT-PRE)
and sends it to the optical splitter.
• DROP TX: In the bidirectional mode, the DROP TX port sends the optical signal to the
demultiplexer.
• EXP TX: The EXP TX port sends the split off optical signal that contains pass-through channels to the
other side of the NE .
• COM T/R: The COM port is bidirectional. It functions as a COM TX port in the multiplexer mode
and as a COM RX port in the demultiplexer mode.
• AD T/R: The AD port functions as ADD RX port in bidirectional and multiplexer modes and as a
DROP port in the demultiplexer mode.
• EAD T/R i (where i = 1 to 8): The EAD ports function as EXP ports in the bidirectional mode, as
ADD ports in the multiplexer mode, and as DROP ports in the demultiplexer mode.9-76

Chapter 9 Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Cards
80-WXC-C Card
The different units of the 80-WXC-C card are:
• 40/60 splitter with VOA on drop path—The preamplifier output signal from the preamplifier is split
in a 40%-to-60% ratio; 40% is sent on the drop path (DROP-TX port) and 60% is sent on the
pass-through path (EXP-TX port). The VOA equipped on the drop path is used to match the power
range of the receiver photodiode without the need for bulk attenuation. If a channel is expected to
be dropped in the 80-WXC-C card, the pass-through channel is stopped after the EXP-TX port either
by a 40-WSS-C or a 40-WXC-C card.
• 50 Ghz 10 port WXC—The WXC block is optically passive and has bidirectional capability. The
WXC block can selectively send any wavelength combination coming from the eight input EAD
ports and one AD port to a common (COM) output port, when used as a multiplexer, whereas it can
selectively send any wavelength combination coming from its common (COM) input port to any of
the eight output EAD ports and one AD port, when used as a demultiplexer. The WXC block can
manage (on each port) up to 80 channels according to the channel grid reported in Table 9-47. Each
channel can be selected from any input and routed to any output.
• 50 Ghz Optical Channel Monitor (OCM)—The OCM provides per channel power monitoring on the
COM T/R, DROP-TX, AD, and EADi (i=1 to 8) ports. The power value for each wavelength is
refreshed after a variable timer depending on the port and card activity.
9.13.2 80-WXC-C Power Monitoring
The 80-WXC-C has two physical photodiodes and an OCM unit that monitors power at the different
ports of the card. Table 9-45 describes the physical photodiodes.
For information on the associated TL1 AIDs for the optical power monitoring points, see the “CTC Port

Single Module ROADM (SMR-C) Cards
Figure 9-38 40-SMR1-C Block Diagram
The different units of the 40-SMR1-C card are:
• OSC filter—The OSC filter allows to add an OSC channel to the C-band in the transmission path
and to drop an OSC channel on the receiving path. The OSCM card that is connected to the OSC-TX
and OSC-RX ports generates the OSC channel.
• Double-stage variable gain EDFA preamplifier—The double-stage preamplifier allows the insertion
of a DCU between the DC-TX and DC-RX ports to compensate for chromatic dispersion. It is also
equipped with built-in variable optical attenuator (VOA) and gain flattening filter (GFF) that
provides tilt compensation and enables the use of this device over an extended range of span losses
(5 dB to 35 dB).
• 70/30 splitter and VOA—The output signal from the preamplifier is split in a 70%-to-30% ratio,
70% is sent on the pass-through path (EXP-TX port) and 30% is sent on the drop path (DROP-TX
port). The VOA equipped on the drop path is used to match the power range of the receiver photo
diode without the need for bulk attenuation. If a channel is expected to be dropped in the
40-SMR1-C card, the pass-through channel is stopped after the EXP-TX port either by a 40-WSS-C,
40-SMR1-C, or 40-SMR2-C card.
• 1x2 WXC—The 1x2 WXC aggregates on its output port a 100-GHz-spaced optical channel received
from either its ADD-RX or EXP-RX port. In addition to the switching function, the 1x2 WXC
allows to set a different per channel power for each of the managed wavelengths and also monitor
the optical power.
• OCM—The OCM provides per channel power monitoring on the DROP-RX, EXP-RX, ADD-RX,
and LINE-TX ports. The power value for each wavelength is refreshed after a variable timer
depending on the port and card activity.

• OSC filter—The OSC filter allows to add an OSC channel to the C-band in the transmission path
and to drop an OSC channel on the receiving path. The OSCM card that is connected to the OSC-TX
and OSC-RX ports generates the OSC channel.
• Double-stage variable gain EDFA preamplifier—The double-stage preamplifier allows the insertion
of a DCU between the DC-TX and DC-RX ports to compensate for chromatic dispersion. It is also
equipped with built-in variable optical attenuator (VOA) and gain flattening filter (GFF) that
provides tilt compensation and enables the use of this device over an extended range of span losses
(5 dB to 35 dB).
• 70/30 splitter and VOA—The output signal from the preamplifier is split in a 70%-to-30% ratio,
70% is sent on the pass-through path (EXP-TX port) and 30% is sent on the drop path (DROP-TX
port). The VOA equipped on the drop path is used to match the power range of the receiver photo
diode without the need for bulk attenuation. If a channel is expected to be dropped in the
40-SMR2-C card, the pass-through channel is stopped after the EXP-TX port by a 40-WSS-C,
40-SMR1-C, or 40-SMR2-C card.
• 1x4 WXC—The 1x4 WXC aggregates on its output port a 100-GHz-spaced optical channel received
from either its ADD-RX or EXPi-RX (where i = 1, 2, 3) port. In addition to the switching function,
the 1x4 WXC allows to set a different per channel power for each of the managed wavelengths and
also monitor the optical power.
• Single-stage fixed gain EDFA booster amplifier—The booster amplifier amplifies the output signal
from the 1x4 WXC unit before transmitting it into the fiber. Since it is a fixed gain (17 dB) amplifier,
it does not allow gain tilt control.
• OCM—The OCM provides per channel power monitoring on the DROP-RX, EXPi-RX (where i =
1, 2, 3), ADD-RX, and LINE-TX ports. The power value for each wavelength is refreshed after a
variable timer depending on the port and card activity.

9.15 MMU Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 only)
The single-slot Mesh Multi-Ring Upgrade Module (MMU) card supports multiring and mesh upgrades
for ROADM nodes in both the C-band and the L-band. Mesh/multiring upgrade is the capability to
optically bypass a given wavelength from one section of the network or ring to another one without
requiring 3R regeneration. In each node, you need to install one east MMU and one west MMU. The
card can be installed in Slots 1 through 6 and 12 through 17.
9.15.1 MMU Faceplate Ports
The MMU has six types of ports:
• EXP RX port: The EXP RX port receives the optical signal from the ROADM section available on
the NE.
• EXP TX port: The EXP TX port sends the optical signal to the ROADM section available on the NE.
• EXP-A RX port: The EXP-A RX port receives the optical signal from the ROADM section available
on other NEs or rings.
• EXP-A TX port: The EXP-A TX port sends the optical signal to the ROADM section available on
other NEs or rings.
• COM TX port: The COM TX port sends the optical signal to the fiber stage section.
• COM RX port: The COM RX port receives the optical signal from the fiber stage section.

Card-Level Indicators Description
Red FAIL LED The red FAIL LED indicates that the card’s processor is not ready or that n
internal hardware failure occurred. Replace the card if the red FAIL LED
persists.
Green ACT LED The green ACT LED indicates that the MMU card is carrying traffic or is
traffic-ready.
Amber SF LED The amber SF LED indicates a signal failure on one or more of the card’s

Transponder and Muxponder Cards
Note The terms “Unidirectional Path Switched Ring” and “UPSR” may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as “Path Protected Mesh Network” and “PPMN,” refer generally to Cisco’s
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This chapter describes Cisco ONS 15454 transponder (TXP), muxponder (MXP), GE_XP, 10GE_XP,

10.1 Card Overview
The card overview section lists the cards described in this chapter and provides compatibility
information.
Note Each card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 shelf assembly.
The cards are then installed into slots displaying the same symbols. For a list of slots and symbols, see
the "Card Slot Requirements" section in the Cisco ONS 15454 Hardware Installation Guide.
The purpose of a TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, ADM-10G, or OTU2_XP card
is to convert the “gray” optical client interface signals into trunk signals that operate in the “colored”
dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) wavelength range. Client-facing gray optical signals
generally operate at shorter wavelengths, whereas DWDM colored optical signals are in the longer
wavelength range (for example, 1490 nm = violet; 1510 nm = blue; 1530 nm = green; 1550 nm = yellow;
1570 nm = orange; 1590 nm = red; 1610 nm = brown). Some of the newer client-facing SFPs, however,
operate in the colored region. Transponding or muxponding is the process of converting the signals
between the client and trunk wavelengths.
An MXP generally handles several client signals. It aggregates, or multiplexes, lower rate client signals
together and sends them out over a higher rate trunk port. Likewise, it demultiplexes optical signals
coming in on a trunk and sends them out to individual client ports. A TXP converts a single client signal
to a single trunk signal and converts a single incoming trunk signal to a single client signal. GE_XP,
10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards can be provisioned as TXPs, as MXPs, or as Layer 2
switches.
All of the TXP and MXP cards perform optical to electrical to optical (OEO) conversion. As a result,
they are not optically transparent cards. The reason for this is that the cards must operate on the signals
passing through them, so it is necessary to do an OEO conversion.
1. 5G DDR InfiniBand is referred to as IB_5G.10-3

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
Card Overview
On the other hand, the termination mode for all of the TXPs and MXPs, which is done at the electrical
level, can be configured to be transparent. In this case, neither the Line nor the Section overhead is
terminated. The cards can also be configured so that either Line or Section overhead can be terminated,
or both can be terminated.
Note The MXP_2.5G_10G card, by design, when configured in the transparent termination mode, actually
does terminate some of the bytes. See Table 10-64 on page 10-143 for details.

Figure 10-1 Class 1 Laser Product Label
Class 1 lasers are products whose irradiance does not exceed the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE)
value. Therefore, for Class 1 laser products the output power is below the level at which it is believed
eye damage will occur. Exposure to the beam of a Class 1 laser will not result in eye injury and can
therefore be considered safe. However, some Class 1 laser products might contain laser systems of a
higher Class but there are adequate engineering control measures to ensure that access to the beam is not
reasonably likely. Anyone who dismantles a Class 1 laser product that contains a higher Class laser
system is potentially at risk of exposure to a hazardous laser beam

Figure 10-12 Shock Hazard Label
This label alerts personnel to electrical hazard within the card. The potential of shock hazard exists when
removing adjacent cards during maintenance, and touching exposed electrical circuitry on the card itself.
10.3 TXP_MR_10G Card
(Cisco ONS 15454 only)
The TXP_MR_10G processes one 10-Gbps signal (client side) into one 10-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM
signal (trunk side). It provides one 10-Gbps port per card that can be provisioned for an STM-64/OC-192
short reach (1310-nm) signal, compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, ITU-T G.691, and
Telcordia GR-253-CORE, or a 10GBASE-LR signal compliant with IEEE 802.3.
The TXP_MR_10G card is tunable over two neighboring wavelengths in the 1550-nm, ITU 100-GHz
range. It is available in 16 different versions, each of which covers two wavelengths, for a total coverage
of 32 different wavelengths in the 1550-nm range.
Note ITU-T G.709 specifies a form of forward error correction (FEC) that uses a “wrapper” approach. The
digital wrapper lets you transparently take in a signal on the client side, wrap a frame around it and
restore it to its original form. FEC enables longer fiber links because errors caused by the optical signal
degrading with distance are corrected.
The trunk port operates at 9.95328 Gbps (or 10.70923 Gbps with ITU-T G.709 Digital Wrapper/FEC)
and at 10.3125 Gbps (or 11.095 Gbps with ITU-T G.709 Digital Wrapper/FEC) over unamplified
distances up to 80 km (50 miles) with different types of fiber such as C-SMF or dispersion compensated
fiber limited by loss and/or dispersion.
Caution Because the transponder has no capability to look into the payload and detect circuits, a TXP_MR_10G
card does not display circuits under card view.
Caution You must use a 15-dB fiber attenuator (10 to 20 dB) when working with the TXP_MR_10G card in a
loopback on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the TXP_MR_10G card. Using direct
fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to the TXP_MR_10G card.

TXP_MR_10G Card
You can install TXP_MR_10G cards in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17 and provision this card in a linear
configuration. TXP_MR_10G cards cannot be provisioned as a bidirectional line switched ring
(BLSR)/Multiplex Section - Shared Protection Ring (MS-SPRing), a path protection/single node control
point (SNCP), or a regenerator. They can only be used in the middle of BLSR/MS-SPRing and 1+1 spans
when the card is configured for transparent termination mode.
The TXP_MR_10G port features a 1550-nm laser for the trunk port and a 1310-nm laser for the for the
client port and contains two transmit and receive connector pairs (labeled) on the card faceplate.
The MTU setting is used to display the OverSizePkts counters on the receiving trunk and client port
interfaces. Traffic of frame sizes up to 65535 bytes pass without any packet drops, from the client port
to the trunk port and vice versa irrespective of the MTU setting.

Caution You must use a 15-dB fiber attenuator (10 to 20 dB) when working with the TXP_MR_10E card in a
loopback on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the TXP_MR_10E card. Using direct
fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to the TXP_MR_10E card.
10.4.3 Client Interface
The client interface is implemented with a separately orderable XFP module. The module is a tri-rate
transceiver, providing a single port that can be configured in the field to support an OC-192 SR-1
(Telcordia GR-253-CORE) or STM-64 I-64.1 (ITU-T G.691) optical interface, as well as 10GE LAN
PHY (10GBASE-LR), 10GE WAN PHY (10GBASE-LW), or 10G FC signals.

and regenerate) transponder functionality for this 10-Gbps trunk interface. Therefore, the card is suited
for use in long-range amplified systems. The DWDM interface is complaint with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T
G.709, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE standards.
The DWDM trunk port operates at a rate that is dependent on the input signal and the presence or absence
of the ITU-T G.709 Digital Wrapper/FEC. The possible trunk rates are:
• OC192 (9.95328 Gbps)
• OTU2 (10.70923 Gbps)
• 10GE (10.3125 Gbps) or 10GE into OTU2 (ITU G.sup43 11.0957 Gbps)
• 10G FC (10.51875 Gbps) or 10G FC into OTU2 (nonstandard 11.31764 Gbps)
The maximum system reach in filterless applications without the use of optical amplification or
regenerators is nominally rated at 23 dB over C-SMF fiber. This rating is not a product specification, but
is given for informational purposes. It is subject to change.
10.4.5 Enhanced FEC (E-FEC) Feature
A key feature of the TXP_MR_10E is the availability to configure the forward error correction in three
modes: NO FEC, FEC, and E-FEC. The output bit rate is always 10.7092 Gbps as defined in
ITU-T G.709, but the error coding performance can be provisioned as follows:
• NO FEC—No forward error correction
• FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975 Reed-Solomon algorithm
• E-FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975.1 I.7 algorithm, which is a super FEC code
Note The E-FEC of the ONS 15454 and Cisco ASR 9000 are not compatible.
10.4.6 FEC and E-FEC Modes
As client side traffic passes through the TXP_MR_10E card, it can be digitally wrapped using FEC
mode, E-FEC mode, or no error correction at all. The FEC mode setting provides a lower level of error
detection and correction than the E-FEC mode setting of the card. As a result, using E-FEC mode allows
higher sensitivity (lower optical signal-to-noise ratio [OSNR]) with a lower bit error rate than FEC
mode. E-FEC enables longer distance trunk-side transmission than with FEC.
The E-FEC feature is one of three basic modes of FEC operation. FEC can be turned off, FEC can be
turned on, or E-FEC can be turned on to provide greater range and lower BER. The default mode is FEC
on and E-FEC off. E-FEC is provisioned using CTC.
Caution Because the transponder has no visibility into the data payload and detect circuits, the TXP_MR_10E
card does not display circuits under the card view.
10.4.7 Client-to-Trunk Mapping
The TXP_MR_10E card can perform ODU2-to-OCh mapping, which allows operators to provision data
payloads in a standard way across 10-Gbps optical links. 10-20

Digital wrappers that define client side interfaces are called Optical Data Channel Unit 2 (ODU2)
entities in ITU-T G.709. Digital wrappers that define trunk side interfaces are called Optical Channels
(OCh) in ITU-T G.709. ODU2 digital wrappers can include Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching
(G-MPLS) signaling extensions to ITU-T G.709 (such as Least Significant Part [LSP] and Generalized
Payload Identifier [G-PID] values) to define client interfaces and payload protocols.
10.4.8 Automatic Laser Shutdown
The ALS procedure is supported on both client and trunk interfaces. On the client interface, ALS is
compliant with ITU-T G.664 (6/99). On the data application and trunk interface, the switch on and off
pulse duration is greater than 60 seconds. The on and off pulse duration is user-configurable. For details

10.5 TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L Cards
TXP_MR_10E_L: (Cisco ONS 15454 only)
The TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards are multirate transponders for the ONS 15454
platform. The cards are fully backward compatible with the TXP_MR_10G and TXP_MR_10E cards.
They processes one 10-Gbps signal (client side) into one 10-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side).
The TXP_MR_10E_C is tunable over the entire set of C-band wavelength channels (82 channels spaced
at 50 GHz on the ITU grid). The TXP_MR_10E_L is tunable over the entire set of L-band wavelength
channels (80 channels spaced at 50 GHz on the ITU grid) and is particularly well suited for use in
networks that employ DS fiber or SMF-28 single-mode fiber.
The advantage of these cards over previous versions (TXP_MR_10G and TXP_MR_10E) is that there is
only one version of each card (one C-band version and one L-band version) instead of several versions
needed to cover each band.
You can install TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17 and provision
the cards in a linear configuration, BLSR/MS-SPRing, path protection/SNCP, or a regenerator. The cards
can be used in the middle of BLSR/MS-SPRing or 1+1 spans when the cards are configured for
transparent termination mode.
The TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards feature a universal transponder 2 (UT2) 1550-nm
tunable laser (C band) or a UT2 1580-nm tunable laser (L band) for the trunk port and a separately
orderable ONS-XC-10G-S1 1310-nm or ONS-XC-10G-L2 1550-nm laser XFP module for the client
port.
Note When the ONS-XC-10G-L2 XFP is installed, the TXP_MR_10E_C or TXP_MR_10E-L card is required
to be installed in a high-speed slot (slot 6, 7, 12, or 13)
On its faceplate, the TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards contain two transmit and receive
connector pairs, one for the trunk port and one for the client port. Each connector pair is labeled.
10.5.1 Key Features
The key features of the TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards are:
• A tri-rate client interface (available through the ONS-XC-10G-S1 XFP, ordered separately):
– OC-192 (SR1)
– 10GE (10GBASE-LR)
– 10G-FC (1200-SM-LL-L)
• A UT2 module tunable through the entire C band (TXP_MR_10E_C card) or L band
(TXP_MR_10E_L card). The channels are spaced at 50 GHz on the ITU grid.
• OC-192 to ITU-T G.709 OTU2 provisionable synchronous and asynchronous mapping.
• The MTU setting is used to display the OverSizePkts counters on the receiving trunk and client port
interfaces. Traffic of frame sizes up to 65535 bytes pass without any packet drops, from the client
port to the trunk port and vice versa irrespective of the MTU setting.10-22

For information on safety labels for the cards, see the “10.2.2 Class 1M Laser Product Cards” section
on page 10-10.
Caution You must use a 15-dB fiber attenuator (10 to 20 dB) when working with the TXP_MR_10E_C or
TXP_MR_10E_L card in a loopback on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the cards.
Using direct fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to the cards.
10.5.3 Client Interface
The client interface is implemented with a separately orderable XFP module. The module is a tri-rate
transceiver, providing a single port that can be configured in the field to support an OC-192 SR-1
(Telcordia GR-253-CORE) or STM-64 I-64.1 (ITU-T G.691) optical interface, as well as 10GE LAN
PHY (10GBASE-LR), 10GE WAN PHY (10GBASE-LW), or 10G-FC signals.
The client side XFP pluggable module supports LC connectors and is equipped with a 1310-nm laser.

10.5.4 DWDM Trunk Interface
On the trunk side, the TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards provide a 10-Gbps
STM-64/OC-192 interface. There are 80 tunable channels available in the 1550-nm C band or 82 tunable
channels available in the 1580-nm L band on the 50-GHz ITU grid for the DWDM interface. The
TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_C cards provide 3R transponder functionality for this 10-Gbps
trunk interface. Therefore, the card is suited for use in long-range amplified systems. The DWDM
interface is compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE standards.
The DWDM trunk port operates at a rate that is dependent on the input signal and the presence or absence
of the ITU-T G.709 Digital Wrapper/FEC. The possible trunk rates are:
• OC192 (9.95328 Gbps)
• OTU2 (10.70923 Gbps)
• 10GE (10.3125 Gbps) or 10GE into OTU2 (ITU G.sup43 11.0957 Gbps)
• 10G-FC (10.51875 Gbps) or 10G-FC into OTU2 (nonstandard 11.31764 Gbps)
The maximum system reach in filterless applications without the use of optical amplification or
regenerators is nominally rated at 23 dB over C-SMF fiber. This rating is not a product specification, but
is given for informational purposes. It is subject to change.
10.5.5 Enhanced FEC (E-FEC) Feature
A key feature of the TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards is the availability to configure the
forward error correction in three modes: NO FEC, FEC, and E-FEC. The output bit rate is always
10.7092 Gbps as defined in ITU-T G.709, but the error coding performance can be provisioned as
follows:
• NO FEC—No forward error correction
• FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975 Reed-Solomon algorithm
• E-FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975.1 I.7 algorithm, which is a super FEC code
10.5.6 FEC and E-FEC Modes
As client side traffic passes through the TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards, it can be digitally
wrapped using FEC mode, E-FEC mode, or no error correction at all. The FEC mode setting provides a
lower level of error detection and correction than the E-FEC mode setting of the card. As a result, using
E-FEC mode allows higher sensitivity (lower OSNR) with a lower bit error rate than FEC mode. E-FEC
enables longer distance trunk-side transmission than with FEC.
The E-FEC feature is one of three basic modes of FEC operation. FEC can be turned off, FEC can be
turned on, or E-FEC can be turned on to provide greater range and lower BER. The default mode is FEC
on and E-FEC off. E-FEC is provisioned using CTC.
Caution Because the transponder has no visibility into the data payload and detect circuits, the TXP_MR_10E_C
and TXP_MR_10E_L cards do not display circuits under the card view. 10-24

10.5.7 Client-to-Trunk Mapping
The TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards can perform ODU2-to-OCh mapping, which allows
operators to provision data payloads in a standard way across 10-Gbps optical links.
Digital wrappers that define client side interfaces are called ODU2 entities in ITU-T G.709. Digital
wrappers that define trunk side interfaces are called OCh in ITU-T G.709. ODU2 digital wrappers can
include G-MPLS signaling extensions to ITU-T G.709 (such as LSP and G-PID values) to define client
interfaces and payload protocols.
10.5.8 Automatic Laser Shutdown
The ALS procedure is supported on both client and trunk interfaces. On the client interface, ALS is
compliant with ITU-T G.664 (6/99). On the data application and trunk interface, the switch on and off
pulse duration is greater than 60 seconds. The on and off pulse duration is user-configurable. For details
regarding ALS provisioning for the TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.

TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G Cards
10.6 TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G Cards
The TXP_MR_2.5G card processes one 8-Mbps to 2.488-Gbps signal (client side) into one 8-Mbps to
2.5-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side). It provides one long-reach STM-16/OC-48 port per
card, compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
The TXPP_MR_2.5G card processes one 8-Mbps to 2.488-Gbps signal (client side) into two 8-Mbps to
2.5-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signals (trunk side). It provides two long-reach STM-16/OC-48 ports per
card, compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
The TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G cards are tunable over four wavelengths in the 1550-nm,
ITU 100-GHz range. They are available in eight versions, each of which covers four wavelengths, for a
total coverage of 32 different wavelengths in the 1550-nm range.
Note ITU-T G.709 specifies a form of FEC that uses a “wrapper” approach. The digital wrapper lets you
transparently take in a signal on the client side, wrap a frame around it, and restore it to its original form.
FEC enables longer fiber links because errors caused by the optical signal degrading with distance are
corrected.
The trunk/line port operates at up to 2.488 Gbps (or up to 2.66 Gbps with ITU-T G.709 Digital
Wrapper/FEC) over unamplified distances up to 360 km (223.7 miles) with different types of fiber such
as C-SMF or higher if dispersion compensation is used.
Caution Because the transponder has no capability to look into the payload and detect circuits, a TXP_MR_2.5G
or TXPP_MR_2.5G card does not display circuits under card view.
The TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G cards support 2R (retime, regenerate) and 3R (retime,
reshape, and regenerate) modes of operation where the client signal is mapped into a ITU-T G.709 frame.
The mapping function is simply done by placing a digital wrapper around the client signal. Only
OC-48/STM-16 client signals are fully ITU-T G.709 compliant, and the output bit rate depends on the
input client signal. Table 10-9 shows the possible combinations of client interfaces, input bit rates, 2R
and 3R modes, and ITU-T G.709 monitoring.

TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G Cards
Note ITU-T G.709 and FEC support is disabled for all the 2R payload types in the TXP_MR_2.5G and
TXPP_MR_2.5G cards.
The output bit rate is calculated for the trunk bit rate by using the 255/238 ratio as specified in
ITU-T G.709 for OTU1. Table 10-10 lists the calculated trunk bit rates for the client interfaces with
ITU-T G.709 enabled.
For 2R operation mode, the TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G cards have the ability to pass data
through transparently from client side interfaces to a trunk side interface, which resides on an ITU grid.
The data might vary at any bit rate from 200-Mbps up to 2.38-Gbps, including ESCON, DVB-ASI,
ISC-1, and video signals. In this pass-through mode, no performance monitoring (PM) or digital
wrapping of the incoming signal is provided, except for the usual PM outputs from the SFPs. Similarly,
this card has the ability to pass data through transparently from the trunk side interfaces to the client side
interfaces with bit rates varying from 200-Mbps up to 2.38-Gbps. Again, no PM or digital wrapping of
received signals is available in this pass-through mode.
For 3R operation mode, the TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G cards apply a digital wrapper to the
incoming client interface signals (OC-N/STM-N, 1G-FC, 2G-FC, GE). PM is available on all of these
signals except for 2G-FC, and varies depending upon the type of signal. For client inputs other than
OC-48/STM-16, a digital wrapper might be applied but the resulting signal is not ITU-T G.709
compliant. The card applies a digital wrapper that is scaled to the frequency of the input signal.
The TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G cards have the ability to take digitally wrapped signals in
from the trunk interface, remove the digital wrapper, and send the unwrapped data through to the client
interface. PM of the ITU-T G.709 OH and SONET/SDH OH is implemented.

MXP_2.5G_10G Card
Client ports on the MXP_2.5G_10G card are also interoperable with SONET OC-1 (STS-1) fiber optic
signals defined in Telcordia GR-253-CORE. An OC-1 signal is the equivalent of one DS-3 channel
transmitted across optical fiber. OC-1 is primarily used for trunk interfaces to phone switches in the
United States. There is no SDH equivalent for SONET OC-1.
The MXP_2.5G_10G card is tunable over two neighboring wavelengths in the 1550-nm, ITU 100-GHz
range. It is available in 16 different versions, each of which covers two wavelengths, for a total coverage
of 32 different wavelengths in the 1550-nm range.
Note ITU-T G.709 specifies a form of FEC that uses a “wrapper” approach. The digital wrapper lets you
transparently take in a signal on the client side, wrap a frame around it and restore it to its original form.
FEC enables longer fiber links because errors caused by the optical signal degrading with distance are
corrected.
The port can also operate at 10.70923 Gbps in ITU-T G.709 Digital Wrapper/FEC mode.
Caution Because the transponder has no capability to look into the payload and detect circuits, an
MXP_2.5G_10G card does not display circuits under card view.
Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the MXP_2.5G_10G card in a
loopback on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the MXP_2.5G_10G card. Using
direct fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to the MXP_2.5G_10G card.
You can install MXP_2.5G_10G cards in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
Caution Do not install an MXP_2.5G_10G card in Slot 3 if you have installed a DS3/EC1-48 card in Slots 1or 2.
Likewise, do not install an MXP_2.5G_10G card in Slot 17 if you have installed a DS3/EC1-48 card in
Slots 15 or 16. If you do, the cards will interact and cause DS-3 bit errors.
You can provision this card in a linear configuration. MXP_2.5G_10G cards cannot be provisioned as a
BLSR/MS-SPRing, a path protection/SNCP, or a regenerator. They can be used in the middle of
BLSR/MS-SPRing or 1+1 spans only when the card is configured for transparent termination mode.
The MXP_2.5G_10G port features a 1550-nm laser on the trunk port and four 1310-nm lasers on the
client ports and contains five transmit and receive connector pairs (labeled) on the card faceplate. The
card uses a dual LC connector on the trunk side and SFP connectors on the client side for optical cable
termination.
Note When you create a 4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit, you need to select the G.709 and Synchronous options. A
4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit is supported by G.709 and synchronous mode. This is necessary to provision
a 4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit.

10.7.1 Timing Synchronization
The MXP_2.5G_10G card is synchronized to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 clock during normal conditions
and transmits the ITU-T G.709 frame using this clock. The TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 card can operate from
an external building integrated timing supply (BITS) clock, an internal Stratum 3 clock, or from clock
recovered from one of the four valid client clocks. If clocks from both TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards are
not available, the MXP_2.5G_10G card switches automatically (with errors, not hitless) to an internal
19.44 MHz clock that does not meet SONET clock requirements. This will result in a clock alarm.
10.7.2 Automatic Laser Shutdown
The ALS procedure is supported on both client and trunk interfaces. On the client interface, ALS is
compliant with ITU-T G.664 (6/99). On the data application and trunk interface, the switch on and off
pulse duration is greater than 60 seconds. The on and off pulse duration is user-configurable. For details

10.7.4 MXP_2.5G_10E Card
The faceplate designation of the card is “4x2.5G 10E MXP.” The MXP_2.5G_10E card is a DWDM
muxponder for the ONS 15454 platform that supports full transparent termination the client side. The
card multiplexes four 2.5 Gbps client signals (4 x OC48/STM-16 SFP) into a single 10-Gbps DWDM
optical signal on the trunk side. The MXP_2.5G_10E provides wavelength transmission service for the
four incoming 2.5 Gbps client interfaces. The MXP_2.5G_10E muxponder passes all SONET/SDH
overhead bytes transparently.
The digital wrapper function (ITU-T G.709 compliant) formats the DWDM wavelength so that it can be
used to set up generic communications channels (GCCs) for data communications, enable FEC, or
facilitate performance monitoring.

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_2.5G_10G Card
The MXP_2.5G_10E works with optical transport network (OTN) devices defined in ITU-T G.709. The
card supports ODU1 to OTU2 multiplexing, an industry standard method for asynchronously mapping
a SONET/SDH payload into a digitally wrapped envelope. See the “10.7.7 Multiplexing Function”
section on page 10-36.
The MXP_2.5G_10E card is not compatible with the MXP_2.5G_10G card, which does not support full
transparent termination. You can install MXP_2.5G_10E cards in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. You can
provision this card in a linear configuration, as a BLSR/MS-SPRing, a path protection/SNCP, or a
regenerator. The card can be used in the middle of BLSR/MS-SPRing or 1+1 spans when the card is
configured for transparent termination mode.
The MXP_2.5G_10E features a 1550-nm laser on the trunk port and four 1310-nm lasers on the client
ports and contains five transmit and receive connector pairs (labeled) on the card faceplate. The card uses
a dual LC connector on the trunk side and uses SFP modules on the client side for optical cable
termination. The SFP pluggable modules are short reach (SR) or intermediate reach (IR) and support an
LC fiber connector.
Note When you create a 4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit, you need to select the G.709 and Synchronous options. A
4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit is supported by G.709 and synchronous mode. This is necessary to provision
a 4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit.
10.7.4.1 Key Features
The MXP_2.5G_10E card has the following high level features:
• Four 2.5 Gbps client interfaces (OC-48/STM-16) and one 10 Gbps trunk. The four OC-48 signals
are mapped into a ITU-T G.709 OTU2 signal using standard ITU-T G.709 multiplexing.
• Onboard E-FEC processor: The processor supports both standard Reed-Solomon (RS, specified in
ITU-T G.709) and E-FEC, which allows an improved gain on trunk interfaces with a resultant
extension of the transmission range on these interfaces. The E-FEC functionality increases the
correction capability of the transponder to improve performance, allowing operation at a lower
OSNR compared to the standard RS (237,255) correction algorithm. A new block code (BCH)
algorithm implemented in E-FEC allows recovery of an input BER up to 1E-3.
• Pluggable client interface optic modules: The MXP_2.5G_10E card has modular interfaces. Two
types of optics modules can be plugged into the card. These include an OC-48/STM 16 SR-1
interface with a 7-km (4.3-mile) nominal range (for short range and intra-office applications) and an
IR-1 interface with a range up to 40 km (24.9 miles). SR-1 is defined in Telcordia GR-253-CORE
and in I-16 (ITU-T G.957). IR-1 is defined in Telcordia GR-253-CORE and in S-16-1
(ITU-T G.957).
• High level provisioning support: The MXP_2.5G_10E card is initially provisioned using
Cisco TransportPlanner software. Subsequently, the card can be monitored and provisioned using
CTC software.
• Link monitoring and management: The MXP_2.5G_10E card uses standard OC-48 OH (overhead)
bytes to monitor and manage incoming interfaces. The card passes the incoming SDH/SONET data
stream and its overhead bytes transparently.
• Control of layered SONET/SDH transport overhead: The card is provisionable to terminate
regenerator section overhead. This is used to eliminate forwarding of unneeded layer overhead. It
can help reduce the number of alarms and help isolate faults in the network.10-35
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_2.5G_10G Card
• Automatic timing source synchronization: The MXP_2.5G_10E normally synchronizes from the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card. If for some reason, such as maintenance or upgrade activity,
the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC is not available, the MXP_2.5G_10E automatically
synchronizes to one of the input client interface clocks.
• Configurable squelching policy: The card can be configured to squelch the client interface output if
there is LOS at the DWDM receiver or if there is a remote fault. In the event of a remote fault, the
card manages multiplex section alarm indication signal (MS-AIS) insertion.

10.7.6 Client Interfaces
The MXP_2.5G_10E provides four intermediate- or short-range OC-48/STM-16 ports per card on the
client side. Both SR-1 or IR-1 optics can be supported and the ports use SFP connectors. The client
interfaces use four wavelengths in the 1310-nm, ITU 100-MHz-spaced, channel grid.
10.7.6.1 DWDM Interface
The MXP_2.5G_10E serves as an OTN multiplexer, transparently mapping four OC-48 channels
asynchronously to ODU1 into one 10-Gbps trunk. The DWDM trunk is tunable for transmission over
four wavelengths in the 1550-nm, ITU 100-GHz spaced channel grid.
Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the MXP_2.5G_10E card in a
loopback on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the MXP_2.5G_10E card. Using
direct fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to the MXP_2.5G_10E card.
10.7.7 Multiplexing Function
The muxponder is an integral part of the reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM)
network. The key function of MXP_2.5G_10E is to multiplex 4 OC-48/STM16 signals onto one ITU-T
G.709 OTU2 optical signal (DWDM transmission). The multiplexing mechanism allows the signal to be
terminated at a far-end node by another MXP_2.5G_10E card.
Termination mode transparency on the muxponder is configured using OTUx and ODUx OH bytes. The
ITU-T G.709 specification defines OH byte formats that are used to configure, set, and monitor frame
alignment, FEC mode, section monitoring, tandem connection monitoring, and termination mode
transparency.

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_2.5G_10G Card
The MXP_2.5G_10E card performs ODU to OTU multiplexing as defined in ITU-T G.709. The ODU is
the framing structure and byte definition (ITU-T G.709 digital wrapper) used to define the data payload
coming into one of the SONET/SDH client interfaces on MXP_2.5G_10E. The term ODU1 refers to an
ODU that operates at 2.5-Gbps line rate. On the MXP_2.5G_10E, there are four client interfaces that can
be defined using ODU1 framing structure and format by asserting a ITU-T G.709 digital wrapper.
The output of the muxponder is a single 10-Gbps DWDM trunk interface defined using OTU2. It is
within the OTU2 framing structure that FEC or E-FEC information is appended to enable error checking
and correction.
10.7.8 Timing Synchronization
The MXP_2.5G_10E card is synchronized to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC clock during normal
conditions and transmits the ITU-T G.709 frame using this clock. No holdover function is implemented.
If neither TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC clock is available, the MXP_2.5G_10E switches
automatically (hitless) to the first of the four valid client clocks with no time restriction as to how long
it can run on this clock. The MXP_2.5G_10E continues to monitor the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC
card. If a TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card is restored to working order, the MXP_2.5G_10E reverts
to the normal working mode of running from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC clock. If there is no
valid TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC clock and all of the client channels become invalid, the card waits
(no valid frames processed) until one of the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards supplies a valid clock.
In addition, the card is allowed to select the recovered clock from one active and valid client channel and
supply that clock to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card.
10.7.9 Enhanced FEC (E-FEC) Capability
The MXP_2.5G_10E can configure the FEC in three modes: NO FEC, FEC, and E-FEC. The output bit
rate is always 10.7092 Gbps as defined in ITU-T G.709, but the error coding performance can be
provisioned as follows:
• NO FEC—No FEC
• FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975 Reed-Solomon algorithm
• E-FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975.1 I.7, two orthogonally concatenated BCH super FEC code. This
FEC scheme contains three parameterizations of the same scheme of two orthogonally interleaved
BCH. The constructed code is decoded iteratively to achieve the expected performance.
10.7.10 FEC and E-FEC Modes
As client side traffic passes through the MXP_2.5G_10E card, it can be digitally wrapped using FEC
mode error correction or E-FEC mode error correction (or no error correction at all). The FEC mode
setting provides a lower level of error detection and correction than the E-FEC mode setting of the card.
As a result, using E-FEC mode allows higher sensitivity (lower OSNR) with a lower BER than FEC
mode. E-FEC enables longer distance trunk-side transmission than with FEC.
The E-FEC feature is one of three basic modes of FEC operation. FEC can be turned off, FEC can be
turned on, or E-FEC can be turned on to provide greater range and lower BER. The default mode is FEC
on and E-FEC off. E-FEC is provisioned using CTC.10-38

MXP_2.5G_10G Card
10.7.11 SONET/SDH Overhead Byte Processing
The card passes the incoming SONET/SDH data stream and its overhead bytes for the client signal
transparently. The card can be provisioned to terminate regenerator section overhead. This is used to
eliminate forwarding of unneeded layer overhead. It can help reduce the number of alarms and help
isolate faults in the network.
10.7.12 Client Interface Monitoring
The following parameters are monitored on the MXP_2.5G_10E card:
• Laser bias current is measured as a PM parameter
• LOS is detected and signaled
• Transmit (TX) and receive (RX) power are monitored
The following parameters are monitored in real time mode (one second):
• Optical power transmitted (client)
• Optical power received (client)
In case of loss of communication (LOC) at the DWDM receiver or far-end LOS, the client interface
behavior is configurable. AIS can be invoked or the client signal can be squelched.
10.7.13 Wavelength Identification
The card uses trunk lasers that are wave-locked, which allows the trunk transmitter to operate on the ITU
grid effectively. Table 10-15 describes the required trunk transmit laser wavelengths. The laser is tunable
over eight wavelengths at 50-GHz spacing or four at 100-GHz spacing.

MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L Cards
MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards provide wavelength transmission service for the four incoming 2.5 Gbps client
interfaces. The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L muxponders pass all SONET/SDH overhead

The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards work with OTN devices defined in ITU-T G.709.
The cards support ODU1 to OTU2 multiplexing, an industry standard method for asynchronously
mapping a SONET/SDH payload into a digitally wrapped envelope. See the “10.8.5 Multiplexing

The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards are not compatible with the MXP_2.5G_10G
card, which does not support transparent termination mode.
You can install MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. You can
provision a card in a linear configuration, as a BLSR/MS-SPRing, a path protection/SNCP, or a

The MXP_2.5G_10E_C card features a tunable 1550-nm C-band laser on the trunk port. The laser is
tunable across 82 wavelengths on the ITU grid with 50-GHz spacing between wavelengths. The
MXP_2.5G_10E_L features a tunable 1580-nm L-band laser on the trunk port. The laser is tunable
across 80 wavelengths on the ITU grid, also with 50-GHz spacing. Each card features four 1310-nm
lasers on the client ports and contains five transmit and receive connector pairs (labeled) on the card
faceplate. The cards uses dual LC connectors on the trunk side and use SFP modules on the client side
for optical cable termination. The SFP pluggable modules are SR or IR and support an LC fiber
connector.
Note When you create a 4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit, you need to select the G.709 and Synchronous options. A
4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit is supported by G.709 and synchronous mode. This is necessary to provision
a 4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit.
10.8.1 Key Features
The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards have the following high level features:
• Four 2.5 Gbps client interfaces (OC-48/STM-16) and one 10 Gbps trunk. The four OC-48 signals

• Configurable squelching policy: The cards can be configured to squelch the client interface output
if there is LOS at the DWDM receiver or if there is a remote fault. In the event of a remote fault, the
card manages MS-AIS insertion.
• The cards are tunable across the full C band (MXP_2.5G_10E_C) or full L band
(MXP_2.5G_10E_L), thus eliminating the need to use different versions of each card to provide
tunability across specific wavelengths in a band.

page 10-8.
10.8.3 Client Interfaces
The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards provide four intermediate- or short-range
OC-48/STM-16 ports per card on the client side. Both SR-1 and IR-1 optics can be supported and the
ports use SFP connectors. The client interfaces use four wavelengths in the 1310-nm,
ITU 100-GHz-spaced, channel grid.
10.8.4 DWDM Interface
The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards serve as OTN multiplexers, transparently
mapping four OC-48 channels asynchronously to ODU1 into one 10-Gbps trunk. For the
MXP_2.5G_10E_C card, the DWDM trunk is tunable for transmission over the entire C band and for the
MXP_2.5G_10E_L card, the DWDM trunk is tunable for transmission over the entire L band. Channels
are spaced at 50-GHz on the ITU grid.

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L Cards
Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the cards in a loopback on the
trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the cards. Using direct fiber loopbacks causes
irreparable damage to the MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards.
10.8.5 Multiplexing Function
The muxponder is an integral part of the ROADM network. The key function of the MXP_2.5G_10E_C
and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards is to multiplex four OC-48/STM16 signals onto one ITU-T G.709 OTU2
optical signal (DWDM transmission). The multiplexing mechanism allows the signal to be terminated at
a far-end node by another similar card.
Transparent termination on the muxponder is configured using OTUx and ODUx OH bytes. The
ITU-T G.709 specification defines OH byte formats that are used to configure, set, and monitor frame
alignment, FEC mode, section monitoring, tandem connection monitoring, and transparent termination
mode.
The MXP_2.5G_10E and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards perform ODU to OTU multiplexing as defined in
ITU-T G.709. The ODU is the framing structure and byte definition (ITU-T G.709 digital wrapper) used
to define the data payload coming into one of the SONET/SDH client interfaces on the cards. The term
ODU1 refers to an ODU that operates at 2.5-Gbps line rate. On the cards, there are four client interfaces
that can be defined using ODU1 framing structure and format by asserting a ITU-T G.709 digital
wrapper.
The output of the muxponder is a single 10-Gbps DWDM trunk interface defined using OTU2. It is
within the OTU2 framing structure that FEC or E-FEC information is appended to enable error checking
and correction.
10.8.6 Timing Synchronization
The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards are synchronized to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3
clock during normal conditions and transmit the ITU-T G.709 frame using this clock. No holdover
function is implemented. If neither TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 clock is available, the card switches
automatically (hitless) to the first of the four valid client clocks with no time restriction as to how long
it can run on this clock. The card continues to monitor the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 card. If a
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 card is restored to working order, the card reverts to the normal working mode of
running from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 clock. If there is no valid TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 clock and all of
the client channels become invalid, the card waits (no valid frames processed) until one of the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 cards supplies a valid clock. In addition, the card is allowed to select the recovered
clock from one active and valid client channel and supply that clock to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 card.
10.8.7 Enhanced FEC (E-FEC) Capability
The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards can configure the FEC in three modes: NO FEC,
FEC, and E-FEC. The output bit rate is always 10.7092 Gbps as defined in ITU-T G.709, but the error
coding performance can be provisioned as follows:
• NO FEC—No FEC
• FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975 Reed-Solomon algorithm10-45
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L Cards
• E-FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975.1 I.7, two orthogonally concatenated BCH super FEC code. This
FEC scheme contains three parameterizations of the same scheme of two orthogonally interleaved
block codes (BCH). The constructed code is decoded iteratively to achieve the expected
performance.
10.8.8 FEC and E-FEC Modes
As client side traffic passes through the card, it can be digitally wrapped using FEC mode error
correction or E-FEC mode error correction (or no error correction at all). The FEC mode setting provides
a lower level of error detection and correction than the E-FEC mode setting of the card. As a result, using
E-FEC mode allows higher sensitivity (lower OSNR) with a lower BER than FEC mode. E-FEC enables
longer distance trunk-side transmission than with FEC.
The E-FEC feature is one of three basic modes of FEC operation. FEC can be turned off, FEC can be
turned on, or E-FEC can be turned on to provide greater range and lower BER. The default mode is FEC
on and E-FEC off. E-FEC is provisioned using CTC.
10.8.9 SONET/SDH Overhead Byte Processing
The card passes the incoming SONET/SDH data stream and its overhead bytes for the client signal
transparently. The card can be provisioned to terminate regenerator section overhead. This is used to
eliminate forwarding of unneeded layer overhead. It can help reduce the number of alarms and help
isolate faults in the network.
10.8.10 Client Interface Monitoring
The following parameters are monitored on the MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards:
• Laser bias current is measured as a PM parameter.
• LOS is detected and signaled.
• Rx and Tx power are monitored.
The following parameters are monitored in real time mode (one second):
• Optical power transmitted (client)
• Optical power received (client)
In case of LOC at the DWDM receiver or far-end LOS, the client interface behavior is configurable. AIS
can be invoked or the client signal can be squelched.
10.8.11 Wavelength Identification
The card uses trunk lasers that are wavelocked, which allows the trunk transmitter to operate on the ITU
grid effectively. Both the MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards implement the UT2 module.
The MXP_2.5G_10E_C card uses a C-band version of the UT2 and the MXP_2.5G_10E_L card uses an
L-band version.
Table 10-18 describes the required trunk transmit laser wavelengths for the MXP_2.5G_10E_C card.
The laser is tunable over 82 wavelengths in the C band at 50-GHz spacing on the ITU grid.10-46

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G Cards
Note In Software Release 7.0 and later, two additional operating modes have been made available to the user:
pure ESCON (all 8 ports running ESCON), and mixed mode (Port 1 running FC/GE/FICON, and Ports
5 through 8 running ESCON). When the card is part of a system running Software Release 6.0 or below,
only one operating mode, (FC/GE) is available for use.
The 2.5-Gbps Multirate Muxponder–Protected–100 GHz–Tunable 15xx.xx-15yy.yy (MXPP_MR_2.5G)
card aggregates various client SAN service client inputs (GE, FICON, Fibre Channel, and ESCON) into
one 2.5 Gbps STM-16/OC-48 DWDM signal on the trunk side. It provides two long-reach
STM-16/OC-48 ports per card and is compliant with ITU-T G.957 and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
Because the cards are tunable to one of four adjacent grid channels on a 100-GHz spacing, each card is
available in eight versions, with 15xx.xx representing the first wavelength and 15yy.yy representing the
last wavelength of the four available on the card. In total, 32 DWDM wavelengths are covered in
accordance with the ITU-T 100-GHz grid standard, G.692, and Telcordia GR-2918-CORE, Issue 2. The
card versions along with their corresponding wavelengths are shown in Table 10-22.
The muxponders are intended to be used in applications with long DWDM metro or regional
unregenerated spans. Long transmission distances are achieved through the use of flat gain optical
amplifiers.
The client interface supports the following payload types:
• 2G FC
• 1G FC
• 2G FICON
• 1G FICON
• GE
• ESCON
Note Because the client payload cannot oversubscribe the trunk, a mix of client signals can be accepted, up to

MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G Cards
Table 10-23 shows the input data rate for each client interface, and the encapsulation method. The
current version of the ITU-T Transparent Generic Framing Procedure (GFP-T) G.7041 supports
transparent mapping of 8B/10B block-coded protocols, including Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and
FICON.
In addition to the GFP mapping, 1-Gbps traffic on Port 1 or 2 of the high-speed serializer/deserializer
(SERDES) is mapped to an STS-24c channel. If two 1-Gbps client signals are present at Port 1 and Port 2
of the SERDES, the Port 1 signal is mapped into the first STS-24c channel and the Port 2 signal into the
second STS-24c channel. The two channels are then mapped into an OC-48 trunk channel.
Table 10-24 shows some of the mix and match possibilities on the various client ports. The table is
intended to show the full client payload configurations for the card.

MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G Cards
10.9.1 Performance Monitoring
GFP-T performance monitoring (GFP-T PM) is available via remote monitoring (RMON), and trunk PM
is managed according to Telcordia GR-253-CORE and ITU G.783/826. Client PM is achieved through
RMON for FC and GE.
10.9.2 Distance Extension
A buffer-to-buffer credit management scheme provides FC flow control. With this feature enabled, a port
indicates the number of frames that can be sent to it (its buffer credit), before the sender is required to
stop transmitting and wait for the receipt of a “ready” indication The MXP_MR_2.5G and
MXPP_MR_2.5 cards support FC credit-based flow control with a buffer-to-buffer credit extension of
up to 1600 km (994.2 miles) for 1G FC and up to 800 km (497.1 miles) for 2G FC. The feature can be
enabled or disabled.
10.9.3 Slot Compatibility
You can install MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. The
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card is the only other card required to be used with these muxponder
cards. Cross-connect cards do not affect the operation of the muxponder cards.
10.9.4 Interoperability with Cisco MDS Switches
You can provision a string (port name) for each fiber channel/FICON interface on the MXP_MR_2.5G
and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards, which allows the MDS Fabric Manager to create a link association between
that SAN port and a SAN port on a Cisco MDS 9000 switch.
10.9.5 Client and Trunk Ports
The MXP_MR_2.5G card features a 1550-nm laser for the trunk/line port and a 1310-nm or 850-nm laser
(depending on the SFP) for the client ports. The card contains eight 12.5 degree downward tilt SFP
modules for the client interfaces. For optical termination, each SFP uses two LC connectors, which are
labeled TX and RX on the faceplate. The trunk port is a dual-LC connector with a 45 degree downward
angle.
The MXPP_MR_2.5G card features a 1550-nm laser for the trunk/line port and a 1310-nm or 850-nm
laser (depending on the SFP) for the client port. The card contains eight 12.5 degree downward tilt SFP
modules for the client interfaces. For optical termination, each SFP uses two LC connectors, which are
labeled TX and RX on the faceplate. There are two trunk port connectors (one for working and one for
protect). Each is a dual-LC connector with a 45-degree downward angle.

MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G Cards
Operations Physical Interface for ATM (UTOPIA) interface. A transceiver add/drop multiplexer
(TADM) chip supports framing. Finally, the output signal is serialized and connected to the trunk front
end with a direct modulation laser. The trunk receive signal is converted into an electrical signal with an
avalanche photodiode (APD), is deserialized, and is then sent to the TADM framer and FPGA.
The MXPP_MR_2.5G is the same, except a 50/50 splitter divides the power at the trunk interface. In the
receive direction, there are two APDs, two SERDES blocks, and two TADM framers. This is necessary
to monitor both the working and protect paths. A switch selects one of the two paths to connect to the
client interface.
Figure 10-24 MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G Block Diagram
Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the MXP_MR_2.5G and
MXPP_MR_2.5G cards in a loopback configuration on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks
with the MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards. Using direct fiber loopbacks causes irreparable
damage to the MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards.
10.9.8 Automatic Laser Shutdown
The ALS procedure is supported on both client and trunk interfaces. On the client interface, ALS is
compliant with ITU-T G.664 (6/99). On the data application and trunk interface, the switch on and off
pulse duration is greater than 60 seconds. The on and off pulse duration is user-configurable. For details
regarding ALS provisioning for the MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards, refer to the

MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L Cards
The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards aggregate a mix of client SAN service client
inputs (GE, FICON, and Fibre Channel) into one 10.0 Gbps STM-64/OC-192 DWDM signal on the trunk
side. It provides one long-reach STM-64/OC-192 port per card and is compliant with Telcordia
GR-253-CORE and ITU-T G.957.
The cards support aggregation of the following signal types:
• 1-Gigabit Fibre Channel
• 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel
• 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel
• 1-Gigabit Ethernet
• 1-Gigabit ISC-Compatible (ISC-1)
• 2-Gigabit ISC-Peer (ISC-3)
Note On the card faceplates, the MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards are displayed as
10DME_C and 10DME_L, respectively.
Caution The card can be damaged by dropping it. Handle it safely.
The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L muxponders pass all SONET/SDH overhead
bytes transparently.
The digital wrapper function (ITU-T G.709 compliant) formats the DWDM wavelength so that it can be
used to set up GCCs for data communications, enable FEC, or facilitate PM. The MXP_MR_10DME_C
and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards work with the OTN devices defined in ITU-T G.709. The cards support
ODU1 to OTU2 multiplexing, an industry standard method for asynchronously mapping a SONET/SDH
payload into a digitally wrapped envelope. See the “10.7.7 Multiplexing Function” section on
page 10-36.
Note Because the client payload cannot oversubscribe the trunk, a mix of client signals can be accepted, up to
a maximum limit of 10 Gbps.
You can install MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
Note The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards are not compatible with the
MXP_2.5G_10G card, which does not support transparent termination mode.
The MXP_MR_10DME_C card features a tunable 1550-nm C-band laser on the trunk port. The laser is
tunable across 82 wavelengths on the ITU grid with 50-GHz spacing between wavelengths. The
MXP_MR_10DME_L features a tunable 1580-nm L-band laser on the trunk port. The laser is tunable
across 80 wavelengths on the ITU grid, also with 50-GHz spacing. Each card features four 1310-nm
lasers on the client ports and contains five transmit and receive connector pairs (labeled) on the card
faceplate. The cards uses dual LC connectors on the trunk side and use SFP modules on the client side
for optical cable termination. The SFP pluggable modules are SR or IR and support an LC fiber
connector.10-57

MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L Cards
Table 10-27 shows the input data rate for each client interface, and the encapsulation method. The
current version of the GFP-T G.7041 supports transparent mapping of 8B/10B block-coded protocols,
including Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, ISC, and FICON.
In addition to the GFP mapping, 1-Gbps traffic on Port 1 or 2 of the high-speed SERDES is mapped to
an STS-24c channel. If two 1-Gbps client signals are present at Port 1 and Port 2 of the high-speed
SERDES, the Port 1 signal is mapped into the first STS-24c channel and the Port 2 signal into the second
STS-24c channel. The two channels are then mapped into an OC-48 trunk channel.
There are two FPGAs on each MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L, and a group of four
ports is mapped to each FPGA. Group 1 consists of Ports 1 through 4, and Group 2 consists of Ports 5
through 8. Table 10-28 shows some of the mix and match possibilities on the various client data rates for
Ports 1 through 4, and Ports 5 through 8. An X indicates that the data rate is supported in that port.
GFP-T PM is available through RMON and trunk PM is managed according to Telcordia GR-253-CORE
and ITU G.783/826. Client PM is achieved through RMON for FC and GE.
A buffer-to-buffer credit management scheme provides FC flow control. With this feature enabled, a port
indicates the number of frames that can be sent to it (its buffer credit), before the sender is required to
stop transmitting and wait for the receipt of a “ready” indication The MXP_MR_10DME_C and
MXP_MR_10DME_L cards support FC credit-based flow control with a buffer-to-buffer credit
extension of up to 1600 km (994.1 miles) for 1G FC, up to 800 km (497.1 miles) for 2G FC, or up to
400 km (248.5 miles) for 4G FC. The feature can be enabled or disabled.
The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards feature a 1550-nm laser for the trunk/line

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L Cards
The throughput of the MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards is affected by the
following parameters:
• Distance extension—If distance extension is enabled on the card, it provides more throughput but
more latency. If distance extension is disabled on the card, the buffer to buffer credits on the storage
switch affects the throughput; higher the buffer to buffer credits higher is the throughput.
Note For each link to operate at the maximum throughput, it requires a minimum number of buffer
credits to be available on the devices which the link connects to. The number of buffer
credits required is a function of the distance between the storage switch extension ports and
the link bandwidth, that is, 1G, 2G, or 4G. These buffer credits are provided by either the
storage switch (if distance extension is disabled) or by both the storage switch and the card
(if distance extension is enabled).
• Forward Error Correction (FEC)—If Enhanced FEC (E-FEC) is enabled on the trunk port of the
card, the throughout is significantly reduced in comparison to standard FEC being set on the trunk
port.
Note If distance extension is enabled on the card, the FEC status does not usually affect the
throughput of the card.
• Payload size—The throughput of the card decreases with decrease in payload size.
The resultant throughput of the card is usually the combined effect of the above parameters.
10.10.1 Key Features
The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards have the following high-level features:
• Onboard E-FEC processor: The processor supports both standard RS (specified in ITU-T G.709) and
E-FEC, which allows an improved gain on trunk interfaces with a resultant extension of the
transmission range on these interfaces. The E-FEC functionality increases the correction capability
of the transponder to improve performance, allowing operation at a lower OSNR compared to the
standard RS (237,255) correction algorithm. A new BCH algorithm implemented in E-FEC allows
recovery of an input BER up to 1E-3.
• Pluggable client interface optic modules: The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L
cards have modular interfaces. Two types of optics modules can be plugged into the card. These
include an OC-48/STM 16 SR-1 interface with a 7-km (4.3-mile) nominal range (for short range and
intra-office applications) and an IR-1 interface with a range up to 40 km (24.9 miles). SR-1 is
defined in Telcordia GR-253-CORE and in I-16 (ITU-T G.957). IR-1 is defined in Telcordia
GR-253-CORE and in S-16-1 (ITU-T G.957).
• Y-cable protection: Supports Y-cable protection between the same card type only, on ports with the
same port number and signal rate. See the “10.19.1 Y-Cable Protection” section on page 10-139 for
more detailed information.
• High level provisioning support: The cards are initially provisioned using Cisco TransportPlanner
software. Subsequently, the card can be monitored and provisioned using CTC software.
• ALS: A safety mechanism used in the event of a fiber cut. For details regarding ALS provisioning
for the MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454
DWDM Procedure Guide.10-59
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L Cards
• Link monitoring and management: The cards use standard OC-48 OH bytes to monitor and manage
incoming interfaces. The cards pass the incoming SDH/SONET data stream and its OH bytes
transparently.
• Control of layered SONET/SDH transport overhead: The cards are provisionable to terminate
regenerator section overhead. This is used to eliminate forwarding of unneeded layer overhead. It
can help reduce the number of alarms and help isolate faults in the network.
• Automatic timing source synchronization: The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L
cards normally synchronize from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 card. If for some reason, such as
maintenance or upgrade activity, the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 is not available, the cards automatically
synchronize to one of the input client interface clocks.
Note MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards cannot be used for line timing.
• Configurable squelching policy: The cards can be configured to squelch the client interface output
if there is LOS at the DWDM receiver or if there is a remote fault. In the event of a remote fault, the
card manages MS-AIS insertion.
• The cards are tunable across the full C band (MXP_MR_10DME_C) or full L band
(MXP_MR_10DME_L), thus eliminating the need to use different versions of each card to provide
tunability across specific wavelengths in a band.
• You can provision a string (port name) for each fiber channel/FICON interface on the
MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards, which allows the MDS Fabric Manager to
create a link association between that SAN port and a SAN port on a Cisco MDS 9000 switch.
• From Software Release 9.0, the fast switch feature of MXP_MR_10DME_C and
MXP_MR_10DME_L cards along with the buffer-to-buffer credit recovery feature of MDS
switches, prevents reinitialization of ISL links during Y-cable switchovers.

For information on safety labels for the cards, see the “10.2.2 Class 1M Laser Product Cards” section
on page 10-10.
Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the cards in a loopback on the
trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the cards. Using direct fiber loopbacks causes
irreparable damage to the MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards.
10.10.3 Wavelength Identification
The card uses trunk lasers that are wavelocked, which allows the trunk transmitter to operate on the ITU
grid effectively. Both the MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards implement the UT2
module. The MXP_MR_10DME_C card uses a C-band version of the UT2 and the
MXP_MR_10DME_L card uses an L-band version.

40G-MXP-C Card
The digital wrapper function (ITU-T G.709 compliant) formats the DWDM wavelength so that it can be
used to set up GCCs for data communications, enable FEC, or facilitate performance monitoring. The
40G-MXP-C card work with the OTN devices defined in ITU-T G.709. The card supports ODTU23
multiplexing, an industry standard method for asynchronously mapping client payloads into a digitally
wrapped envelope. See the “10.7.7 Multiplexing Function” section on page 10-36.
You can install and provision the 40G-MXP-C card in a linear configuration in:
• Slots 1 to 5 and 12 to 16 in ONS 15454 DWDM chassis
• Slot 2 in ONS 15454 M2 chassis
• Slots 2 to 6 in ONS 15454 M6 chassis
The 40G-MXP-C card client port interoperates with all the existing TXP/MXP (OTU2 trunk) cards. The
40G-MXP-C card client port does not interoperate with OTU2_XP card when the signal rate is
OTU1e (11.049 Gbps) and the “No Fixed Stuff” option is enabled on the trunk port of OTU2_XP card.
For OTU2 and OTU2e client protocols, Enhanced FEC (EFEC) is not supported in Port 1 of the
40G-MXP-C card. Table 10-33 lists the FEC configuration supported on OTU2/OTU2e protocol for
40G-MXP-C card.
When setting up the card for the first time, or when the card comes up after clearing the LOS-P condition
due to fiber cut, the trunk port of the 40G-MXP-C card takes a about six minutes to lock a signal. The
trunk port of the 40G-MXP-C card raises an OTUK-LOF alarm when the card is comes up. The alarm
clears when the trunk port locks the signal.
When protection switch occurs on the 40G-MXP-C card, the recovery from PSM protection switch takes
about 3 to 4 minutes.
The 40G-MXP-C card is tunable over C-band on the trunk port. The 40G-MXP-C card supports
pluggable XFPs on the client ports on the card faceplate. The card uses dual LC connectors on the trunk
side, and XFP modules on the client side for optical cable termination. The XFP pluggable modules are
SR, LR, MM, DWDM, or CWDM and support an LC fiber connector. The 40G-MXP-C card contains
four XFP modules for the client interfaces. For optical termination, each XFP uses two LC connectors,
which are labeled TX and RX on the faceplate. The trunk port is a dual-LC connector facing downward
at 45 degrees.
Table 10-34 shows the input data rate for each client interface.

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
40G-MXP-C Card
10.11.1 Key Features
The 40G-MXP-C card comprises of the following key features:
• The 40G-MXP-C card uses the RZ-DQPSK 40G modulation format.
• Onboard E-FEC processor: The E-FEC functionality improves the correction capability of the
transponder to improve performance, allowing operation at a lower OSNR compared to the standard
RS (239,255) correction algorithm. A new BCH algorithm implemented (according to G.975.1 I.7)
in E-FEC allows recovery of an input BER up to 1E-3. The 40G-MXP-C card supports both standard
RS (specified in ITU-T G.709) and E-FEC standard, which allows an improved gain on trunk
interfaces with a resultant extension of the transmission range on these interfaces.
• Y-cable protection: Supports Y-cable protection between the same card type only, on ports with the
same port number and signal rate. For more information on Y-cable protection, see “10.19 Y-Cable
and Splitter Protection” section on page 10-139.
Note Y-cable cannot be created on 10 GE port when WIS framing is enabled on the 40G-MXP-C
card.
• Unidirectional regeneration: The 40G-MXP-C card supports unidirectional regeneration
configuration. Each 40G-MXP-C card in the configuration regenerates the signal received from
another 40G-MXP-C card in one direction.
Note When you configure the 40G-MXP-C card in Unidirectional Regen mode, ensure that the
payload is not configured on pluggable port modules of the 40G-MXP-C card.
Figure 10-26 shows a typical unidirectional regeneration configuration.
Figure 10-26 40G-MXP-C Cards in Unidirectional Regeneration Configuration
• High level provisioning support: The cards are initially provisioned using Cisco Transport Planner
software. Subsequently, the card can be monitored and provisioned using CTC software.
10-GigabitEthernet WAN-Phy 9.953 Gbps
OC-192/STM-64 9.953 Gbps

• Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS): A safety mechanism used in the event of a fiber cut. The Auto
Restart ALS option is supported only for OC192/STM64 and OTU2 payloads. The Manual Restart
ALS option is supported for all payloads. For more information on ALS provisioning for the
40G-MXP-C card, see the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
• Control of layered SONET/SDH transport overhead: The cards are provisionable to terminate
regenerator section overhead. This is used to eliminate forwarding of unneeded layer overhead. It
can help reduce the number of alarms and help isolate faults in the network.
• Automatic timing source synchronization: The 40G-MXP-C card synchronizes to the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card. If for some reason, such as maintenance or upgrade activity,
the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card is not available, the cards automatically synchronize to one
of the input client interface clocks.
• Squelching policy: The cards are set to squelch the client interface output if there is LOS at the
DWDM receiver, or if there is a remote fault. In the event of a remote fault, the card manages
MS-AIS insertion.
• The card is tunable across the full C band wavelength.

For information on safety labels for the cards, see the “10.2.2 Class 1M Laser Product Cards” section
on page 10-10.
Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the cards in a loopback on the
trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the cards. Using direct fiber loopbacks causes
irreparable damage to the 40G-MXP-C card.
10.11.3 Wavelength Identification
The card uses trunk lasers that are wavelocked, which allows the trunk transmitter to operate on the ITU
grid effectively. The 40G-MXP-C card implements the UT2 module. The 40G-MXP-C card uses a
C-band version of the UT2.
Table 10-35 lists the required trunk transmit laser wavelengths for the 40G-MXP-C card. The laser is
tunable over 82 wavelengths in the C band at 50-GHz spacing on the ITU grid.

GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
10.12 GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards are Gigabit Ethernet Xponders for the ONS 15454
ANSI and ETSI platforms.
Note GE_XPE card is the enhanced version of the GE_XP card and 10GE_XPE card is the enhanced version
of the 10GE_XP card.
The cards aggregate Ethernet packets received on the client ports for transport on C-band trunk ports that
operate on a 100-GHz grid. The trunk ports operate with ITU-T G.709 framing and either FEC or E-FEC.
The GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards are designed for bulk point-to-point transport over 10GE LAN PHY
wavelengths for Video-on-Demand (VOD), or broadcast video across protected 10GE LAN PHY
wavelengths. The GE_XPE and 10GE_XPE cards are designed for bulk GE_XPE or 10GE_XPE
point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-multipoint transport over 10GE LAN PHY
wavelengths for Video-on-Demand (VOD), or broadcast video across protected 10GE LAN PHY
wavelengths.
You can install and provision the GE_XP, and GE_XPE cards in a linear configuration in:
• Slots 1 to 5 and 12 to 16 in ONS 15454 DWDM chassis
• Slot 2 in ONS 15454 M2 chassis
• Slots 2 to 6 in ONS 15454 M6 chassis
The 10GE_XP and 10GE_XPE cards can be installed in Slots 1 through 6 or 12 through 17. The GE_XP
and GE_XPE are double-slot cards with twenty Gigabit Ethernet client ports and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet
trunk ports. The 10GE_XP and 10GE_XPE are single-slot cards with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet client
ports and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet trunk ports. The client ports support SX, LX, and ZX SFPs and SR
and 10GBASE-LR XFPs. (LR2 XFPs are not supported.) The trunk ports support a DWDM XFP.

The RAD pluggables (ONS-SC-E3-T3-PW= and ONS-SC-E1-T1-PW=) do not support:
• No loopbacks (Terminal or Facility)
• RAI (Remote Alarm Indication) alarm
• AIS and LOS alarm
Caution A fan-tray assembly (15454E-CC-FTA for the ETSI shelf, or 15454-CC-FTA for the ANSI shelf) must
be installed in a shelf where a GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE card is installed.
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards can be provisioned to perform different Gigabit
Ethernet transport roles. All the cards can work as Layer 2 switches. However, the 10GE_XP and
10GE_XPE cards can also perform as a 10 Gigabit Ethernet transponders (10GE TXP mode), and the
GE_XP and GE_XPE can perform as a 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 20 Gigabit Ethernet muxponders (10GE
MXP or 20GE MXP mode). Table 10-38 shows the card modes supported by each card.
Note Changing the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE card mode requires the ports to be in a
OOS-DSBL (ANSI) or Locked, disabled (ETSI) service state. In addition, no circuits can be provisioned
on the cards when the mode is being changed.
10.12.1 Key Features
The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards have the following high-level features:
• Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) that allows you to bundle several physical ports together
to form a single logical channel.
• Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) protocol that facilitates proactive connectivity

10.12.7 DWDM Trunk Interface
The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards have two 10 Gigabit Ethernet trunk ports
operating at 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10.3125 Gbps) or 10 Gigabit Ethernet into OTU2 (nonstandard
11.0957 Gbps). The ports are compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE
standards. The ports are capable of carrying C-band and L-band wavelengths through insertion of
DWDM XFPs. Forty channels are available in the 1550-nm C band 100-GHz ITU grid, and forty
channels are available in the L band.
The maximum system reach in filterless applications without the use of optical amplification or
regenerators is nominally rated at 23 dB over C-SMF fiber. This rating is not a product specification, but
is given for informational purposes. It is subject to change.
10.12.8 Configuration Management
The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards support the following configuration
management parameters:
• Port name—User-assigned text string.
• Admin State/Service State—Administrative and service states to manage and view port status.
• MTU—Provisionable maximum transfer unit (MTU) to set the maximum number of bytes per
frames accepted on the port.
• Mode—Provisional port mode, either Autonegotiation or the port speed.
• Flow Control—Flow control according to IEEE 802.1x pause frame specification can be enabled or
disabled for TX and RX ports.
• Bandwidth—Provisionable maximum bandwidth allowed for the port.
• Ingress CoS—Assigns a CoS value to the port from 0 (highest) to 7 (lowest) and accepts CoS of
incoming frames.
• Egress QoS—Defines the QoS capabilities at the egress port.
• NIM—Defines the port network interface management type based on Metro Ethernet Forum
specifications. Ports can be defined as UNI or NNI.
• MAC Learning—MAC address learning to facilitate switch processing.
• VLAN tagging provided according to the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
Note When the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards are provisioned in a MXP or TXP mode,
only the following parameters are available: Port Name, State, MTU, Mode, Flow control, and
Bandwidth.
10.12.9 Security
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE card ports can be provisioned to block traffic from a
user-defined set of MAC addresses. The remaining traffic is normally switched. You can manually
specify the set of blocked MAC addresses for each port. Each port of the card can receive traffic from a
limited predefined set of MAC addresses. The remaining traffic will be dropped. This capability is a
subset of the Cisco IOS “Port Security” feature. 10-80

10.12.10 Card Protection
The following section describes various card protection schemes available for the GE_XP, 10GE_XP,
GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards.
10.12.10.1 1+1 Protection
1+1 protection of GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards is provided in the Layer 2 (L2)
card mode to protect against client port and card failure.
1+1 protection is supported in both single shelf and multishelf setup. This means that the working card
can be in one shelf and the protect card can be in another shelf of a multishelf setup. Communication
between the two cards is across 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnection interface using Ethernet packets.
The Inter link (ILK) trunk or internal pathcord must be provisioned on both the cards. This link is used
to transmit protection switching messages and data. For information on how to provision ILK or internal
patchcords, refer Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Note With 1+1 protection mechanisms, the switch time of a copper SFP is 1 second.
With 1+1 protection, ports on the protect card can be assigned to protect the corresponding ports on the
working card. A working card must be paired with a protect card of the same type and number of ports.
The protection takes place on the port level, and any number of ports on the protect card can be assigned
to protect the corresponding ports on the working card.
To make the 1+1 protection scheme fully redundant, enable L2 protection for the entire VLAN ring. This
enables Fast Automatic Protection Switch (FAPS). The VLAN configured on the 1+1 port must be
configured as protected SVLAN. For information on how to enable FAPS, see Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Procedure Guide.
1+1 protection can be either revertive or nonrevertive. With nonrevertive 1+1 protection, when a failure
occurs and the signal switches from the working card to the protect card, the signal remains on the
protect card until it is manually changed. Revertive 1+1 protection automatically switches the signal
back to the working card when the working card comes back online. 1+1 protection uses trunk ports to
send control traffic between working and protect cards. This trunk port connection is known as ILK trunk
ports and can be provisioned via CTC. For information on how to provision an ILK link, see “DLP-G460
Provision an ILK Link” in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
The standby port can be configured to turn ON or OFF but the traffic coming to and from the standby
port will be down. If the laser is ON at the standby port, the other end port (where traffic originates) will
not be down in a parallel connection. Traffic is blocked on the standby port.
1+1 protection is bidirectional and nonrevertive by default; revertive switching can be provisioned using
CTC. For information on how to provision the cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure
Guide.
10.12.10.2 Y-Cable Protection
The GE_XP and GE_XPE cards support Y-cable protection when they are provisioned in 10 Gigabit
Ethernet or 20 Gigabit Ethernet MXP card mode. The 10GE_XP and 10GE_XPE cards support Y-cable
protection when they are provisioned in 10GE TXP card mode. Two cards can be joined in a Y-cable
protection group with one card assigned as the working card and the other defined as the protection card.
This protection mechanism provides redundant bidirectional paths. See the “10.19.1 Y-Cable
Protection” section on page 10-139 for more detailed information. The Y-cable protection mechanism is 10-81
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
provisionable and can be set ON or OFF (OFF is the default mode). When a signal fault is detected (LOS,
LOF, SD, or SF on the DWDM receiver port in the case of ITU-T G.709 mode) the protection mechanism
software automatically switches between paths. Y-cable protection also supports revertive and
nonrevertive mode.
10.12.10.3 Layer 2 Over DWDM Protection
When the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE cards are in L2-over-DWDM card mode,
protection is handled by the hardware at the Layer 1 and Layer 2 levels. Fault detection and failure
propagation is communicated through the ITU-T G.709 frame overhead bytes. For protected VLANs,
traffic is flooded around the 10 Gigabit Ethernet DWDM ring. To set up the Layer 2 protection, you
identify a node and the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE port that is to serve as the master
node and port for the VLAN ring on the card view Provisioning > Protection tab. If a failure occurs, the
node and port are responsible for opening and closing VLAN loops.
Note The Forced option in the Protection drop-down list converts all the SVLANs to protected SVLANs
irrespective of the SVLAN protection configuration in the SVLAN database. This is applicable to a
point-to-point linear topology. The SVLAN protection must be forced to move all SVLANs, including
protected and unprotected SVLANs, to the protect path irrespective of provisioned SVLAN attributes.
A FAPS switchover happens in the following failure scenarios:
• DWDM line failures caused by a fiber cut
• Unidirectional failure in the DWDM network caused by a fiber cut
• Fiber pull on the master card trunk port followed by a hard reset on the master card
• Hard reset on the master card
• Hard reset on the slave card
• An OTN failure is detected (LOS, OTUK-LOF, OTUK-LOM, OTUK-LOM, OTUK-SF, or
OTUK-BDI on the DWDM receiver port in the case of ITU-T G.709 mode)
• Trunk ports are moved to OOS,DSBLD (Locked,disabled) state
• Improper removal of XFPs
A FAPS switchover does not happen in the following scenarios:
• Slave card trunk port in OOS,DSBLD (Locked,disabled) state followed by a hard reset of the slave
card
• OTN alarms raised on the slave card trunk port followed by a hard reset of the slave card
10.12.11 IGMP Snooping
As networks increase in size, multicast routing becomes critically important as a means to determine
which segments require multicast traffic and which do not. IP multicasting allows IP traffic to be
propagated from one source to a number of destinations, or from many sources to many destinations.
Rather than sending one packet to each destination, one packet is sent to the multicast group identified
by a single IP destination group address. GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards can learn
upto a maximum of 1024 multicast groups. This includes groups on all the VLANs.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping restricts the flooding of multicast traffic by
forwarding multicast traffic to those interfaces where a multicast device is present.10-82
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
When the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE card receives an IGMP leave group message from
a host, it removes the host port from the multicast forwarding table after generating group specific
queries to ensure that no other hosts interested in traffic for the particular group are present on that port.
Even in the absence of any “leave” message, the cards have a timeout mechanism to update the group
table with the latest information. After a card relays IGMP queries from the multicast router, it deletes
entries periodically if it does not receive any IGMP membership reports from the multicast clients.
In a multicast router, general queries are sent on a VLAN when Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
is enabled on the VLAN. The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE card forwards queries to all
ports belonging to the VLAN. All hosts interested in this multicast traffic send Join requests and are
added to the forwarding table entry. The Join requests are forwarded only to router ports. By default,
these router ports are learned dynamically. However, they can also be statically configured at the port
level in which case the static configuration overrides dynamic learning.
For information on interaction of IGMP with other protocols, see the 10.12.2 Protocol Compatibility
list.
10.12.11.1 IGMP Snooping Guidelines and Restrictions
The following guidelines and restrictions apply to IGMP snooping on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and
10GE_XPE cards:
• IGMP snooping V2 is supported as specified in RFC 4541.
• IGMP snooping V3 is not supported and the packets are flooded in the SVLAN.
• Layer 2 multicast groups learned through IGMP snooping are dynamic.
• GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards support IGMP snooping on 128 stacked VLANs and GE_XPE and
10GE_XPE cards support up to 256 stacked VLANs that are enabled.
• IGMP snooping can be configured per SVLAN or CVLAN. By default, IGMP snooping is disabled
on all SVLANs and CVLANs.
• IGMP snooping on CVLAN is enabled only when:
– MVR is enabled.
– UNI ports are in selective add and selective translate modes. For each UNI port, a CVLAN must
be specified for which IGMP snooping is to be enabled.
• IGMP snooping can be enabled only on one CVLAN per port. If you enable IGMP snooping on
CVLAN, you cannot enable IGMP snooping on the associated SVLAN and vice versa. The number
of VLANs that can be enabled for IGMP snooping cannot exceed 128.
• When IGMP snooping is enabled on double-tagged packets, CVLAN has to be the same on all ports
attached to the same SVLAN.
• When IGMP snooping is working with the Fast Automatic Protection Switch (FAPS) in a ring-based
setup, it is advisable to configure all NNI ports as static router ports. This minimizes the multicast
traffic hit when a FAPS switchover occurs.
The following conditions are raised from IGMP snooping at the card:
• MCAST-MAC-TABLE-FULL—This condition is raised when the multicast table is full and a new
join request is received. This table is cleared when at least one entry gets cleared from the multicast
table after the alarm is raised.
• MCAST-MAC-ALIASING—This condition is raised when there are multiple L3 addresses that map
to the same L2 address in a VLAN. This is a transient condition.10-83

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
For more information on severity level of these conditions and procedure to clear these alarms, refer to
the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.
10.12.11.2 Fast-Leave Processing
Note Fast-Leave processing is also known as Immediate-Leave.
IGMP snooping Fast-Leave processing allows the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE to
remove an interface that sends a leave message from the forwarding table without first sending group
specific queries to the interface. When you enable IGMP Fast-Leave processing, the card immediately
removes a port from the IP multicast group when it detects an IGMP, version 2 (IGMPv2) leave message
on that port.
10.12.11.3 Static Router Port Configuration
Multicast-capable ports are added to the forwarding table for every IP multicast entry. The card learns
of such ports through the PIM method.
10.12.11.4 Report Suppression
Report suppression is used to avoid a storm of responses to an IGMP query. When this feature is enabled,
a single IGMP report is sent to each multicast group in response to a single query. Whenever an IGMP
snooping report is received, report suppression happens if the report suppression timer is running. The
Report suppression timer is started when the first report is received for a general query. Then this time
is set to the response time specified in general query.
10.12.11.5 IGMP Statistics and Counters
An entry in a counter contains multicasting statistical information for the IGMP snooping capable
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE card. It provides statistical information about IGMP
messages that have been transmitted and received. IGMP statistics and counters can be viewed via CTC
from the Performance > Ether Ports > Statistics tab.
This information can be stored in the following counters:
• cisTxGeneralQueries—Number of general queries transmitted through an interface.
• cisTxGroupSpecificQueries—Total group specific queries transmitted through an interface.
• cisTxReports—Total membership reports transmitted through an interface.
• cisTxLeaves—Total Leave messages transmitted through an interface.
• cisRxGeneralQueries—Total general queries received at an interface.
• cisRxGroupSpecificQueries—Total Group Specific Queries received at an interface.
• cisRxReports—Total Membership Reports received at an interface.
• cisRxLeaves—Total Leave messages received at an interface.
• cisRxValidPackets—Total valid IGMP packets received at an interface.
• cisRxInvalidPackets—Total number of packets that are not valid IGMP messages received at an
interface.10-84

10.12.12 Multicast VLAN Registration
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is designed for applications using wide-scale deployment of
multicast traffic across an Ethernet-ring-based service provider network (for example, the broadcast of
multiple television channels over a service-provider network). MVR allows a subscriber on a port to
subscribe and unsubscribe to a multicast stream on the network-wide multicast VLAN. It allows the
single multicast VLAN to be shared in the network while subscribers remain in separate VLANs. MVR
provides the ability to continuously send multicast streams in the multicast VLAN, but to isolate the
streams from the subscriber VLANs for bandwidth and security reasons.
MVR assumes that subscriber ports subscribe and unsubscribe (“Join” and “Leave”) these multicast
streams by sending out IGMP Join and Leave messages. These messages can originate from an IGMP
version-2-compatible host with an Ethernet connection. MVR operates on the underlying mechanism of
IGMP snooping. MVR works only when IGMP snooping is enabled.
The card identifies the MVR IP multicast streams and their associated MAC addresses in the card
forwarding table, intercepts the IGMP messages, and modifies the forwarding table to include or remove
the subscriber as a receiver of the multicast stream, even though the receivers is in a different VLAN
than the source. This forwarding behavior selectively allows traffic to cross between different VLANs.
Note When MVR is configured, the port facing the router must be configured as NNI in order to allow the
router to generate or send multicast stream to the host with the SVLAN. If router port is configured as
UNI, the MVR will not work properly.
10.12.13 MAC Address Learning
The GE_XPE and 10 GE_XPE cards support 32K MAC addresses. MAC address learning can be enabled
or disabled per SVLAN on GE_XPE and 10 GE_XPE cards. The cards learn the MAC address of packets
they receive on each port and add the MAC address and its associated port number to the MAC address
learning table. As stations are added or removed from the network, the GE_XPE and 10 GE_XPE cards
update the MAC address learning table, adding new dynamic addresses and aging out those that are
currently not in use.
MAC address learning can be enabled or disabled per SVLAN. When the configuration is changed from
enable to disable, all the related MAC addresses are cleared. The following conditions apply:
• If MAC address learning is enabled on per port basis, the MAC address learning is not enabled on
all VLANs, but only on VLANs that have MAC address learning enabled.
• If per port MAC address learning is disabled then the MAC address learning is disabled on all
VLANs, even if it is enabled on some of the VLAN supported by the port.
• If the per port MAC address learning is configured on GE-XP and 10 GE-XP cards, before upgrading
to GE-XPE or 10 GE-XPE cards, enable MAC address learning per SVLAN. Failing to do so
disables MAC address learning.
10.12.14 MAC Address Retrieval
MAC addresses learned can be retrieved or cleared on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE
cards provisioned in L2-over-DWDM mode. The MAC addresses can be retrieved using the CTC or TL1
interface.10-85
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
GE_XPE and 10GE_XPE cards support 32K MAC addresses and GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards support
16K MAC addresses. To avoid delay in processing requests, the learned MAC addresses are retrieved
using an SVLAN range. The valid SVLAN range is from 1 to 4093.
The MAC addresses of the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards can also be retrieved.
The card MAC addresses are static and are used for troubleshooting activities. One MAC address is
assigned to each client, trunk, and CPU ports of the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE card.
These internal MAC addresses can be used to determine if the packets received on the far-end node are
generated by GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards.
For MAC address retrieval, the following conditions apply:
• The cards must be provisioned in L2-over-DWDM mode.
• MAC address learning must be enabled per SVLAN on GE_XPE or 10 GE_XPE cards.
• MAC address learning must be enabled per port on GE_XP or 10 GE_XP cards.
For information on how to retrieve or clear MAC addresses learned, refer to the “Provision Transponder
and Muxponder Cards” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
10.12.15 Link Integrity
The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE card support end-to-end Ethernet link integrity. This
capability is integral to providing an Ethernet private line service and correct operation of Layer 2 and
Layer 3 protocols on the attached Ethernet devices.
The link integrity feature propagates a trunk fault on all the affected SVLAN circuits in order to squelch
the far end client interface. Ethernet-Advanced IP Services (E-AIS) packets are generated on a
per-port/SVLAN basis. An E-AIS format is compliant with ITU Y.1731.
Note E-AIS packets are marked with a CoS value of 7 (also called .1p bits). Ensure that the network is not
overloaded and there is sufficient bandwidth for this queue in order to avoid packet drops.
When link integrity is enabled on a per-port SVLAN basis, E-AIS packets are generated when the
following alarms are raised;
• LOS-P
• OTUKLOF/LOM
• SIGLOSS
• SYNCHLOSS
• OOS
• PPM not present
When link integrity is enabled, GE_XP and 10 GE_XP card supports up to128 SVLANs and GE_XPE,
10 GE_XPE can support up to 256 SVLANs.
10.12.16 Ingress CoS
Ingress CoS functionality enables differentiated services across the GE_XPE and 10GE_XPE cards. A
wide range of networking requirements can be provisioned by specifying the class of service applicable
to each transmitted traffic. 10-86

When a CVLAN is configured as ingress CoS, the per-port settings are not considered. A maximum of
128 CVLAN and CoS relationships can be configured.
10.12.17 CVLAN Rate Limiting
CVLAN rate limiting is supported on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards. CVLAN rate
limiting is supported for QinQ service in selective add mode. The following limitations and restrictions
apply to CVLAN rate limiting:
• CVLAN rate limiting is not supported for the following service types:
– Selective translate mode
– Transparent mode
– Selective double add mode
– Selective translate add mode
– Untagged packets
– CVLAN range
– Services associated with the channel group
• CVLAN rate limiting and SVLAN rate limiting cannot be applied to the same service instance.
• Pseudo-IOS command line interface (PCLI) is not supported for CVLAN rate limiting.
• A VLAN profile with Link Integrity option enabled cannot be used to perform CVLAN rate limiting.
• On GE_XP and 10 GE_XP cards, CVLAN rate limiting can be applied to up to 128 services.
However, the number of provisionable CVLAN rate limiting service instances is equal to 192 minus
the number of SVLAN rate limiting service instances present on the card (subject to a minimum of
64 CVLAN rate limiting service instances).
• On GE_XPE and 10 GE_XPE cards, CVLAN rate limiting can be applied to up to 256 services.
However, the number of provisionable CVLAN rate limiting service instances is equal to 384 minus
the number of SVLAN rate limiting service instances present on the card (subject to a minimum of
128 CVLAN rate limiting service instances).
10.12.18 DSCP to CoS Mapping
DSCP to CoS mapping can be configured for each port. You can configure the CoS of the outer VLAN
based on the incoming DSCP bits. This feature is supported only on GE_XPE and 10GE_XPE cards.
PCLI is not supported for DSCP to CoS mapping.
DSCP to CoS mapping is supported for the following service types:
– Selectice add mode
– Selective translate mode
– Transparent mode
– Selective double add mode
– Selective translate add mode
– Untagged packets
– CVLAN range10-87

10.12.19 Link Aggregation Control Protocol
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is part of the IEEE802.3ad standard that allows you to
bundle several physical ports together to form a single logical channel. LACP allows a network device
such as a switch to negotiate an automatic bundling of links by sending LACP packets to the peer device.
LACP allows you to form a single Layer 2 link automatically from two or more Ethernet links. This
protocol ensures that both ends of the Ethernet link are functional and agree to be members of the
aggregation group before the link is added to the group. LACP must be enabled at both ends of the link
to be operational.
For more information on LACP, refer to the IEEE802.3ad standard. For information on interaction of
LACP with other protocols, see the 10.12.2 Protocol Compatibility list.
10.12.19.1 Advantages of LACP
LACP provides the following advantages:
• High-speed network that transfers more data than any single port or device.
• High reliability and redundancy. If a port fails, traffic continues on the remaining ports.
• Hashing algorithm that allows to apply load balancing policies on the bundled ports.
10.12.19.2 Functions of LACP
LACP performs the following functions in the system:
• Maintains configuration information to control aggregation.
• Exchanges configuration information with other peer devices.
• Attaches or detaches ports from the link aggregation group based on the exchanged configuration
information.
• Enables data flow when both sides of the aggregation group are synchronized.
10.12.19.3 Modes of LACP
LACP can be configured in the following modes:
• On — Default. In this mode, the ports do not exchange LACP packets with the partner ports.
• Active — In this mode, the ports send LACP packets at regular intervals to the partner ports.
• Passive — In this mode, the ports do not send LACP packets until the partner sends LACP packets.
After receiving the LACP packets from the partner ports, the ports send LACP packets.
10.12.19.4 Parameters of LACP
LACP uses the following parameters to control aggregation:
• System Identifier—A unique identification assigned to each system. It is the concatenation of the
system priority and a globally administered individual MAC address.10-88
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
• Port Identification—A unique identifier for each physical port in the system. It is the concatenation
of the port priority and the port number.
• Port Capability Identification—An integer, called a key, that identifies the capability of one port to
aggregate with another port. There are two types of keys:
– Administrative key—The network administrator configures this key.
– Operational key—The LACP assigns this key to a port, based on its aggregation capability.
• Aggregation Identifier—A unique integer that is assigned to each aggregator and is used for
identification within the system.
10.12.19.5 Unicast Hashing Schemes
LACP supports the following unicast hashing schemes:
• Ucast SA VLAN Incoming Port
• Ucast DA VLAN Incoming Port
• Ucast SA DA VLAN Incoming port
• Ucast Src IP TCP UDP
• Ucast Dst IP TCP UDP
• Ucast Src Dst IP TCP UDP
Note Unicast hashing schemes apply to unicast traffic streams only when the destination MAC address is
already learned by the card. Hence, MAC learning must be enabled to support load balancing as per the
configured hashing scheme. If the destination MAC address is not learned, the hashing scheme is Ucast
Src Dst IP TCP UDP.
10.12.19.6 Supported LACP Features
The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards support the following LACP features as per the

10.12.20 Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management
Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is part of the IEEE 802.1ag standard. The Ethernet
CFM is an end-to-end per service instance that supports the Ethernet layer Operations, Administration,
and Management (OAM) protocol. It includes proactive connectivity monitoring, link trace on a per
service basis, fault verification, and fault isolation for large Ethernet metropolitan-area networks
(MANs) and WANs.
CFM is disabled on the card by default. CFM is enabled on all the ports by default.
For more information on CFM, refer to the IEEE 802.1ag standard. For information on interaction of
CFM with other protocols, see the 10.12.2 Protocol Compatibility list. The following sections contain
conceptual information about Ethernet CFM.
10.12.20.1 Maintenance Domain
A maintenance domain is an administrative domain that manages and administers a network. You can
assign a unique maintenance level (from 0 to 7) to define the hierarchical relationship between domains.
The larger the domain, the higher the maintenance level for that domain. For example, a service provider
domain would be larger than an operator domain and might have a maintenance level of 6, while the
operator domain maintenance level would be 3 or 4.
Maintenance domains cannot intersect or overlap because that would require more than one entity to
manage it, which is not allowed. Domains can touch or nest if the outer domain has a higher maintenance
level than the nested domain. Maintenance levels of nesting domains must be communicated among the
administrating organizations. For example, one approach would be to have the service provider assign
maintenance levels to operators.
The CFM protocol supports up to eight maintenance domains on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and
10GE_XPE cards.
10.12.20.2 Maintenance Association
A maintenance association identifies a service within the maintenance domain. You can have any number
of maintenance associations within each maintenance domain. The CFM protocol supports up to 1500
maintenance associations on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards.
Note Each maintenance association is mapped to a maintenance domain. This mapping is done to configure a
Maintenance End Point (MEP). The CFM protocol supports up to 1000 mappings on GE_XP, 10GE_XP,
GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards.
10.12.20.3 Maintenance End Points
Maintenance End Points (MEPs) reside at the edge of the maintenance domain and are active elements
of the Ethernet CFM. MEPs transmit Continuity Check messages at periodic intervals and receive similar
messages from other MEPs within a domain. MEPs also transmit Loopback and Traceroute messages at
the request of the administrator. MEPs confine CFM messages within the boundary of a maintenance
domain through the maintenance level. There are two types of MEPs:
• Up (Inwards, towards the bridge)
• Down (Outwards, towards the wire).10-90
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
You can create up to 255 MEPs and MIPs together on GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards. You can create up
to 500 MEPs and MIPs together on GE_XPE and 10GE_XPE cards.
The MEP continuity check database (CCDB) stores information that is received from other MEPs in the
maintenance domain. The card can store up to 4000 MEP CCDB entries.
10.12.20.4 Maintenance Intermediate Points
Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIPs) are internal to the maintenance domain and are passive
elements of the Ethernet CFM. They store information received from MEPs and respond to Linktrace
and Loopback CFM messages. MIPs forward CFM frames received from MEPs and other MIPs, drop all
CFM frames at a lower level, and forward all CFM frames at a higher level.
You can create up to 255 MEPs and MIPs together on GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards. You can create up
to 500 MEPs and MIPs together on GE_XPE and 10GE_XPE cards.
The MIP CCDB maintains the information received for all MEPs in the maintenance domain. The card
can store up to 4000 MIP CCDB entries.
10.12.20.5 CFM Messages
The Ethernet CFM on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards supports the following
messages:
• Continuity Check—These messages are exchanged periodically among MEPs. They allow MEPs to
discover other MEPs within a domain and allow MIPs to discover MEPs. These messages are
confined to a domain.
• Loopback—These messages are unicast messages that a MEP transmits, at the request of an
administrator, to verify connectivity to a specific maintenance point. A reply to a loopback message
indicates whether a destination is reachable.
• Traceroute—These messages are multicast messages that a MEP transmits, at the request of an
administrator, to track the path to a destination MEP.
10.12.20.6 Supported CFM Features
The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards support the following Ethernet CFM features

10.12.20.7 CFM Limitations and Restrictions
The CFM on the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards has the following limitations and
restrictions:
• CFM is not supported on channel groups.
• CFM is not enabled on ptotected ports running REP, FAPS, and 1+1.
• Y.1731 enhancements including AIS, LCK, and performance monitoring messages along with CFM
are not supported.
• IEEE CFM MIB is not supported.
• L1 and CFM are mutually exclusive on a SVLAN because LI and CFM use the same MAC address.
• MAC security and CFM are mutually exclusive on the card due to hardware resource constraints.
10.12.21 Ethernet OAM
The Ethernet OAM protocol is part of the IEEE 802.3ah standard and is used for installing, monitoring,
and troubleshooting Ethernet MANs and Ethernet WANs. This protocol relies on an optional sublayer in
the data link layer of the OSI model. The Ethernet OAM protocol was developed for Ethernet in the First
Mile (EFM) applications. The terms Ethernet OAM and EFM are interchangeably used and both mean
the same.
Normal link operation does not require Ethernet OAM. You can implement Ethernet OAM on any
full-duplex point-to-point or emulated point-to-point Ethernet link for a network or part of a network
(specified interfaces). OAM frames, called OAM Protocol Data Units (OAM PDUs), use the slow
protocol destination MAC address 0180.c200.0002. OAM PDUs are intercepted by the MAC sublayer
and cannot propagate beyond a single hop within an Ethernet network.
Ethernet OAM is disabled on all interfaces by default. When Ethernet OAM is enabled on an interface,
link monitoring is automatically turned on.
For more information on Ethernet OAM protocol, refer to IEEE 802.3ah standard. For information on
interaction of Ethernet OAM with other protocols, see the 10.12.2 Protocol Compatibility list.
10.12.21.1 Components of the Ethernet OAM
Ethernet OAM consists of two major components, the OAM Client and the OAM Sublayer.
10.12.21.1.1 OAM Client
The OAM client establishes and manages the Ethernet OAM on a link. The OAM client also enables and
configures the OAM sublayer. During the OAM discovery phase, the OAM client monitors the OAM
PDUs received from the remote peer and enables OAM functionality. After the discovery phase, the
OAM client manages the rules of response to OAM PDUs and the OAM remote loopback mode.
10.12.21.1.2 OAM Sublayer
The OAM sublayer presents two standard IEEE 802.3 MAC service interfaces:
• One interface facing toward the superior sublayers, which include the MAC client (or link
aggregation).
• Other interface facing toward the subordinate MAC control sublayer.10-92
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
The OAM sublayer provides a dedicated interface for passing OAM control information and OAM PDUs
to and from the client.
10.12.21.2 Benefits of the Ethernet OAM
Ethernet OAM provides the following benefits:
• Competitive advantage for service providers
• Standardized mechanism to monitor the health of a link and perform diagnostics
10.12.21.3 Features of the Ethernet OAM
The Ethernet OAM protocol has the following OAM features:
• Discovery—Identifies devices in the network and their OAM capabilities. The Discovery feature
uses periodic OAM PDUs to advertise the OAM mode, configuration, and capabilities. An optional
phase allows the local station to accept or reject the configuration of the peer OAM entity.
• Link Monitoring—Detects and indicates link faults under a variety of conditions. It uses the event
notification OAM PDU to notify the remote OAM device when it detects problems on the link.
• Remote Failure Indication—Allows an OAM entity to convey the failure conditions to its peer
through specific flags in the OAM PDU.
• Remote Loopback—Ensures link quality with a remote peer during installation or troubleshooting.
10.12.21.4 Ethernet OAM Supported Features
The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards support the following Ethernet OAM features
as per the IEEE 802.3ah standard:
• DLP-G639 Enable or Disable EFM for Each Port Using CTC
• DLP-G640 Configure EFM Parameters Using CTC
• DLP-G641 Configure EFM Link Monitoring Parameters Using CTC
• DLP-G642 Enable Remote Loopback for Each Port Using CTC
See the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide for information on these procedures.
10.12.21.5 Ethernet OAM Limitations and Restrictions
The Ethernet OAM on the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards has the following
limitations and restrictions:
• CFM, REP, link integrity, LACP, FAPS, IGMP on SVLAN and L2 1+1 protection are not supported
with EFM.
• IEEE EFM MIB is not supported.
• EFM cannot be enabled or disabled at the card level.
• Unidirectional functionality is not supported.
• Errored Symbol Period, Rx CRC errors, Tx CRC errors are not supported.
• OAM PDUs are limited to 1 frame per second.
• Dying Gasp and critical events are not supported.10-93

GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
Note Dying Gasp RFI is not generated on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards. However, if
the peer device sends a dying gasp RFI, the card detects it and raises an alarm.
10.12.22 Resilient Ethernet Protocol
The Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) is a protocol used to control network loops, handle link failures,
and improve convergence time.
REP performs the following tasks:
• Controls a group of ports connected in a segment.
• Ensures that the segment does not create any bridging loops.
• Responds to link failures within the segment.
• Supports VLAN load balancing.
For information on interaction of REP with other protocols, see the 10.12.2 Protocol Compatibility list.
10.12.22.1 REP Segments
A REP segment is a chain of ports connected to each other and configured with a segment ID. Each
segment consists of regular segment ports and two edge ports. A GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or
10GE_XPE card can have up to 2 ports that belong to the same segment, and each segment port can have
only one external neighbor port.
A segment protects only against a single link failure. Any more failures within the segment result in loss
of connectivity.
10.12.22.2 Characteristics of REP Segments
REP segments have the following characteristics:
• If all the ports in the segment are operational, one port blocks traffic for each VLAN. If VLAN load
balancing is configured, two ports in the segment control the blocked state of VLANs.
• If any port in the segment is not operational, all the other operational ports forward traffic on all
VLANs to ensure connectivity.
• In case of a link failure, the alternate ports are immediately unblocked. When the failed link comes
up, a logically blocked port per VLAN is selected with minimal disruption to the network.
10.12.22.3 REP Port States
Ports in REP segments take one of three roles or states: Failed, Open, or Alternate.
• A port configured as a regular segment port starts as a failed port.
• When the neighbor adjacencies are determined, the port transitions to the alternate port state,
blocking all the VLANs on the interface. Blocked port negotiations occur and when the segment
settles, one blocked port remains in the alternate role and all the other ports become open ports.
• When a failure occurs in a link, all the ports move to the failed state. When the alternate port receives
the failure notification, it changes to the open state, forwarding all VLANs.10-94

78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
10.12.22.4 Link Adjacency
Each segment port creates an adjacency with its immediate neighbor. Link failures are detected and acted
upon locally. If a port detects a problem with its neighbor, the port declares itself non-operational and
REP converges to a new topology.
REP Link Status Layer (LSL) detects its neighbor port and establishes connectivity within the segment.
All VLANs are blocked on an interface until the neighbor port is identified. After the neighbor port is
identified, REP determines the neighbor port that must be the alternate port and the ports that must
forward traffic.
Each port in a segment has a unique port ID. When a segment port starts, the LSL layer sends packets
that include the segment ID and the port ID.
A segment port does not become operational if the following conditions are satisfied:
• No neighbor port has the same segment ID or more than one neighbor port has the same segment ID.
• The neighbor port does not acknowledge the local port as a peer.
10.12.22.5 Fast Reconvergence
REP runs on a physical link and not on per VLAN. Only one hello message is required for all VLANs
that reduces the load on the protocol.
REP Hardware Flood Layer (HFL) is a transmission mechanism that floods packets in hardware on an
admin VLAN. HFL avoids the delay that is caused by relaying messages in software. HFLis used for fast
reconvergence in the order of 50 to 200 milliseconds.
10.12.22.6 VLAN Load Balancing
You must configure two edge ports in the segment for VLAN load balancing. One edge port in the REP
segment acts as the primary edge port; the other edge port as the secondary edge port. The primary edge
port always participates in VLAN load balancing in the segment. VLAN load balancing is achieved by
blocking certain VLANs at a configured alternate port and all the other VLANs at the primary edge port.
10.12.22.7 REP Configuration Sequence
You must perform the following tasks in sequence to configure REP:
• Configure the REP administrative VLAN or use the default VLAN 1. The range of REP admin
VLAN is 1 to 4093. VLAN 4094 is not allowed.
• Add ports to the segment in interface configuration mode.
• Enable REP on ports and assign a segment ID to it. REP is disabled on all ports by default. The range
of segment ID is 1 to 1024.
• Configure two edge ports in the segment; one port as the primary edge port and the other as the
secondary edge port.
• If you configure two ports in a segment as the primary edge port, for example, ports on different
switches, REP selects one of the ports to serve as the primary edge port based on port priority. The
Primary option is enabled only on edge ports.
• Configure the primary edge port to send segment topology change notifications (STCNs) and VLAN
load balancing to another port or to other segments. STCNs and VLAN load balancing
configurations are enabled only for edge ports.10-95

78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE Cards
Note A port can belong to only one segment. Only two ports can belong to the same segment. Both the ports
must be either regular ports or edge ports. However, if the No-neighbor port is configured, one port can
be an edge port and another port can be a regular port.
10.12.22.8 REP Supported Interfaces
REP supports the following interfaces:
• REP is supported on client (UNI) and trunk (NNI) ports.
• Enabling REP on client ports allows protection at the access or aggregation layer when the cards are
connected to the L2 network.
• Enabling REP on trunk ports allows protection at the edge layer when the cards are connected in a
ring.
10.12.22.9 REP Limitations and Restrictions
The REP on the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards has the following limitations and
restrictions:
• Fast re-convergence and VLAN load balancing are not supported on UNI ports in transparent mode.
• Native VLAN is not supported.
• CFM, EFM, link integrity, LACP, FAPS, and L2 1+1 protection are not supported on ports that are
configured as part of REP segment and vice versa.
• NNI ports cannot be configured as the primary edge port or blocking port at the access or
aggregation layer.
• Only three REP segments can be configured on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards.
• Consider the following configuration:
More than one REP closed segment is configured on the GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and
10GE_XPE cards and the same HFL admin VLAN is enabled on the switches.
If two different segments are configured on more than one common switch, the following
consequences happen.
– Layer 1 loop
– Flooding of HFL packets across segments if one REP segment fails
– Segment goes down due to LSL time out even if the segment does not have faults
Hence, it is recommended not to configure two different segments on more than one common switch.
• Consider the following configuration:
– VLAN Load Balancing is configured on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards by
specifying the VLB preempt delay.
– Primary and secondary edge ports are configured on the same switch.
– HFL or LSL is activated.
This configuration leads to high convergence time during manual premption, VLB activation, and
deactivation (400 to 700 milliseconds).10-96

ADM-10G Card
10.13 ADM-10G Card
The ADM-10G card operates on ONS 15454 SONET, ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15454 M2,
ONS 15454 M6, and DWDM networks to carry optical signals and Gigabit Ethernet signals over DWDM
wavelengths for transport. The card aggregates lower bit-rate client SONET or SDH signals
(OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16, or Gigabit Ethernet) onto a C-band tunable DWDM
trunk operating at a higher OC-192/STM-64 rate. In a DWDM network, the ADM-10G card transports
traffic over DWDM by mapping Gigabit Ethernet and SONET or SDH circuits onto the same wavelength
with multiple protection options.
You can install and provision the ADM-10G card in a linear configuration in:
• Slots 1 to 5 and 12 to 16 in standard and high-density ONS 15454 ANSI shelves (15454-SA-ANSI
or 15454-SA-HD), the ETSI ONS 15454 standard shelf assembly, or the ONS 15454 ETSI
high-density shelf assembly
• Slot 2 in ONS 15454 M2 chassis
• Slots 2 to 6 in ONS 15454 M6 chassis
Caution Fan-tray assembly 15454E-CC-FTA (ETSI shelf)/15454-CC-FTA (ANSI shelf) must be installed in a
shelf where the ADM-10G card is installed.
The card is compliant with ITU-T G.825 and ITU-T G.783 for SDH signals. It supports concatenated
and nonconcatenated AU-4 mapped STM-1, STM-4, and STM-16 signals as specified in ITU-T G.707.
The card also complies with Section 5.6 of Telcordia GR-253-CORE and supports synchronous
transport signal (STS) mapped OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48 signals as specified in the standard.
The client SFP and trunk XFP are compliant with interface requirements in Telcordia GR-253-CORE,
ITU-T G.957 and/or ITU-T G.959.1, and IEEE 802.3.
10.13.1 Key Features
The ADM-10G card has the following high-level features:
• Operates with the TCC2, TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, or TSC.
• Interoperable with TXP_MR_10E, TXP_MR_10E_C, TXP_MR_10EX_C, and OTU2_XP cards.
• Has built-in OC-192/STM-64 add/drop multiplexing function including client, trunk, and STS
cross-connect.
• Supports both single-card and double-card (ADM-10G peer group) configuration.
• Supports path protection/SNCP on client and trunk ports for both single-card and double-card
configuration. The card does not support path protection/SNCP between a client port and a trunk
port. Path protection/SNCP is supported only between two client ports or two trunk ports.
• Supports 1+1 protection on client ports for double-card configuration only.
• Supports SONET, SDH, and Gigabit Ethernet protocols on client SFPs.
• Supports XFP DWDM trunk interface single wavelengths.

• Supports client to client hairpinning, that is, creation of circuits between two client ports for both
single-card and double-card configuration. See the “10.13.11 Circuit Provisioning” section on
page 10-104 for more detailed information.
10.13.2 ADM-10G POS Encapsulation, Framing, and CRC
The ADM-10G card supports Cisco EoS LEX (LEX) and generic framing procedure framing (GFP-F)
encapsulation on 8 POS ports corresponding to 8 GigE ports (Port 1 to Port 8) in both single-card and
double-card (ADM-10G peer group) configuration.
You can provision framing on the ADM-10G card as either the default GFP-F or LEX framing. With
GFP-F framing, you can configure a 32-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) or none (no CRC) (the
default). LEX framing supports 16-bit or 32-bit CRC configuration. The framing type cannot be changed
when there is a circuit on the port.
On the CTC, navigate to card view and click the Provisioning > Line> Ethernet Tab. To see the various
parameters that can be configured on the ethernet ports, see “CTC Display of ethernet Port Provisioning
Status”. Parameters such as, admin state, service state, framing type, CRC, MTU and soak time for a port
can be configured.
It is possible to create an end-to-end circuit between equipment supporting different kinds of
encapsulation (for example, LEX on one side and GFP-F on other side). But, under such circumstances,
traffic does not pass through, and an alarm is raised if there is a mismatch.
10.13.2.1 POS Overview
Ethernet data packets need to be framed and encapsulated into a SONET/SDH frame for transport across
the SONET/SDH network. This framing and encapsulation process is known as packet over
SONET/SDH (POS).
The Ethernet frame comes into the ADM-10G card on a standard Gigabit Ethernet port and is processed
through the card’s framing mechanism and encapsulated into a POS frame. When the POS frame exits,
the ADM-10G card is in a POS circuit, and this circuit is treated as any other SONET circuit (STS) or
SDH circuit (VC) in the ONS node. It is cross-connected and rides the SONET/SDH signal out the port
of an optical card and across the SONET/SDH network.
The destination of the POS circuit is a card or a device that supports the POS interface. Data packets in
the destination card frames are removed and processed into ethernet frames. The Ethernet frames are
then sent to a standard Ethernet port of the card and transmitted onto an Ethernet network.10-98

78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
ADM-10G Card
10.13.2.2 POS Framing Modes
A POS framing mode is the type of framing mechanism employed by the ADM-10G card to frame and
encapsulate data packets into a POS signal. These data packets were originally encapsulated in Ethernet
frames that entered the standard Gigabit Ethernet interface of the ADM-10G card.
10.13.2.2.1 GFP-F Framing
The GFP-F framing represent standard mapped Ethernet over GFP-F according to ITU-T G.7041. GFP-F
defines a standard-based mapping of different types of services onto SONET/SDH. GFP-F maps one
variable length data packet onto one GFP packet. GFP-F comprises of common functions and payload
specific functions. Common functions are those shared by all payloads. Payload-specific functions are
different depending on the payload type. GFP-F is detailed in the ITU recommendation G.7041.
10.13.2.2.2 LEX Framing
LEX encapsulation is a HDLC frame based Cisco Proprietary protocol, where the field is set to values
specified in Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 1841. HDLC is one of the most popular Layer
2 protocols. The HDLC frame uses the zero insertion/deletion process (commonly known as bit stuffing)
to ensure that the bit pattern of the delimiter flag does not occur in the fields between flags. The HDLC
frame is synchronous and therefore relies on the physical layer to provide a method of clocking and
synchronizing the transmission and reception of frames. The HDLC framing mechanism is detailed in
the IETF’s RFC 1662, “PPP in HDLC-like Framing.”
10.13.2.3 GFP Interoperability
The ADM-10G card defaults to GFP-F encapsulation that is compliant with ITU-T G.7041. This mode
allows the card to operate with ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-MA SDH, or ONS 15454
data cards (for example, ONS 15454 CE100T-8 or ML1000-2 cards). GFP encapsulation also allows the
ADM-10G card to interoperate with other vendors Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that adhere to the
ITU-T G.7041 standard.
10.13.2.4 LEX Interoperability
The LEX encapsulation is compliant with RFC 1841. This mode allows the card to operate with
ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-MA SDH, or ONS 15454 data cards (for example,
G1000-4/G1K-4 cards, CE-1000-4, ONS 15454 CE100T-8 or ML1000-2 cards).

10.13.6 Interlink Interfaces
Two 2R interlink interfaces, called ILK1 (Port 17) and ILK2 (Port 18), are provided for creation of
ADM-10G peer groups in double-card configurations. In a single-card configuration, Port 17
(OC-192/STM-64) and Port 18 (OC-192/STM-64 or OTU2 payload) must be configured as trunk
interfaces. In a double-card configuration (ADM-10G peer group), Ports 17 and 18 must be configured
as ILK1 and ILK2 interfaces, respectively. Physically cabling these ports between two ADM-10G cards,
located on the same shelf, allows you to configure them as an ADM-10G peer group.The ILK ports carry
10 Gb of traffic each.
The interlink interfaces support STM64 SR1 (ONS-XC-10G-S1=) and 10GE BASE SR
(ONS-XC-10G-SR-MM=) XFPs.
10.13.7 DWDM Trunk Interface
The ADM-10G card supports OC-192/STM-64 signal transport and ITU-T G.709 digital wrapping
according to the ITU-T G.709 standard.The ADM-10G card supports three trunk XFPs:
• Two DWDM trunks, and one trunk interface in a single-card configuration.
• One DWDM trunk XFP in a double-card configuration.
The supported DWDM trunk XFPs are:
• 10G DWDM (ONS-XC-10G-xx.x=) (colored XFP)
• STM64 SR1 (ONS-XC-10G-S1=) (gray XFP)
10.13.8 Configuration Management
When using OC-48/STM-16 traffic, some contiguous port configurations, listed in Table 10-42, are
unavailable due to hardware limitations. This limitation does not impact the Gigabit Ethernet payload.10-102

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
ADM-10G Card
Note The ADM-10G card cannot be used in the same shelf with SONET or SDH cross-connect cards.
Note The total traffic rate for each trunk cannot exceed OC-192/STM-64 on each ADM-10G card, or for each
ADM-10G peer group.
Note Gigabit Ethernet is supported on Ports 1 through 8. Ports 9 through Port 12 support only OC-3/STM-1
or OC-12/STM-4.
Additionally, the following guidelines apply to the ADM-10G card:
• Trunk Port 17 supports OC-192/STM-64.
• Trunk Ports 18 and 19 support OC-192/STM-64 and OTU2.
• The interlink port supports OC-192/STM-64.
• Up to six ADM-10G cards can be installed in one shelf.
• Up to 24 ADM-10G cards can be installed per network element (NE) regardless of whether the card
is installed in one shelf or in multiple shelves.
• The card can be used in all 15454-SA-ANSI and 15454-SA-HD shelves as well as ETSI ONS 15454
standard and high-density shelves.
• A lamp test function can be activated from CTC to ensure that all LEDs are functional.
• The card can operate as a working protected or working nonprotected card.
• In a redundant configuration, an active card hardware or software failure triggers a switch to the
standby card. This switch is detected within 10 ms and is completed within 50 ms.
• ADM-10G cards support jumbo frames with MTU sizes of 64 to 9,216 bytes; the maximum is 9,216.
• After receiving a link or path failure, the ADM-10G card can shut down only the downstream
Gigabit Ethernet port.
Note In ADM-10G cards, the Gigabit Ethernet port does not support flow control.

ADM-10G Card
10.13.9 Security
The ADM-10G card that an SFP or XFP is plugged into implements the Cisco Standard Security Code
Check Algorithm that keys on the vendor ID and serial number.
If a pluggable port module (PPM) is plugged into a port on the card but fails the security code check
because it is not a Cisco PPM, a minor NON-CISCO-PPM alarm is raised.
If a PPM with a nonqualified product ID is plugged into a port on this card—that is, the PPM passes the
security code as a Cisco PPM but it has not been qualified for use on the ADM-10G card— a minor
UNQUAL-PPM alarm is raised.
10.13.10 Protection
The ADM-10G card supports 1+1 and SONET path protection and SDH SNCP protection architectures
in compliance with Telcordia GR-253-CORE, Telcordia GR-1400-CORE, and ITU-T G.841
specifications.
10.13.10.1 Circuit Protection Schemes
The ADM-10G card supports path protection/SNCP circuits at the STS/VC4 (high order) level and can
be configured to switch based on signal degrade calculations. The card supports path protection/SNCP
on client and trunk ports for both single-card and double-card configuration.
Note The ADM-10G card supports path protection/SNCP between client ports and trunk port 17. The card
does not support path protection/SNCP between client ports and trunk ports 18 or 19. The card does not
support path protection/SNCP between port 17 and trunk ports 18 and 19.
The card allows open-ended path protection/SNCP configurations incorporating other vendor
equipment. In an open-ended path protection/SNCP, you can specify one source point and two possible
endpoints (or two possible source points and one endpoint) and the legs can include other vendor
equipment. The source and endpoints are part of the network discovered by CTC.
For detailed information about path protection configurations and SNCPs, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.
10.13.10.2 Port Protection Schemes
The ADM-10G card supports unidirectional and bidirectional 1+1 APS protection schemes on client
ports for double-card configuration (ADM-10G peer group) only. 1+1 APS protection scheme is not
supported in single-card configuration. For 1+1 optical client port protection, you can configure the
system to use any pair of like facility interfaces that are on different cards of the ADM-10G peer group.
For information on optical port protection, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.
10.13.10.3 Flexible Protection Mechanism
The ADM-10G card can be provisioned as unidirectional path switched ring (UPSR2
) or subnetwork
connection protection (SNCP) on both Trunk and client side. UPSR or SNCP is supported both in single
and double card operation. The ADM-10G card supports up to 288 unprotected high-order (HO) cross
connect circuits and up to 192 protected (UPSR or SNCP) per card, resulting in 1728/1152 HO cross 10-104

ADM-10G Card
connect circuits per shelf. The HO cross connect circuits provide grooming capabilities for STS level
connections, such as STS-1, STS-3c, STS-9c, STS-12c, and STS-24c (CCAT or VCAT) with STS1 level
granularity. When installed in a typical central-office bay assembly, a shelf can support up to 5178/3456
HO bidirectional cross connect circuits.
10.13.11 Circuit Provisioning
The ADM-10G card supports STS circuit provisioning both in single-card and double-card (ADM-10G
peer group) configuration. The card allows you to create STS circuits between:
• Client and trunk ports
• Two trunk ports
• Two client ports (client-to-client hairpinning)
Note Circuits between two trunk ports are called pass-through circuits.
For an ADM-10G card in single-card configuration, if you are creating STS circuits between two client
ports, the following limitation must be considered:
• Gigabit Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet connections are not supported.
For an ADM-10G card that is part of an ADM-10G peer group, if you are creating STS circuits between
two client ports or between client and trunk ports, the following limitations must be considered:
• Gigabit Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet connections are not supported.
• Optical channel (OC) to OC, OC to Gigabit Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet to OC connections
between two peer group cards are supported. Peer group connections use interlink port bandwidth,
hence, depending on the availability/fragmentation of the interlink port bandwidth, it may not be
possible to create an STS circuit from the Gigabit Ethernet/OC client port to the peer card trunk port.
This is because, contiguous STSs (that is, STS-3c, STS-12c, STS-24c, and so on) must be available
on the interlink port for circuit creation.
Note There are no limitations to create an STS circuit between two trunk ports.
10.13.12 ADM-10G CCAT and VCAT Characteristics
The ADM-10G card supports high-order (HO) contiguous concatenation (CCAT) and HO virtual
concatenation (VCAT) circuits on 8 GigE ports (Port 1 to Port 8) in both single-card and double-card
(ADM-10G peer group) configuration.
To enable end-to-end connectivity in a VCAT circuit that traverses through a third-party network, you
can use Open-Ended VCAT circuit creation. For more details, refer to the “Create Circuits and
Provisionable Patchcords” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
The ADM-10G card supports flexible non-LCAS VCAT groups (VCGs). With flexible VCGs, the
ADM-10G can perform the following operations:
2. The terms “Unidirectional Path Switched Ring” and “UPSR” may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do
not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these
terms, as well as “Path Protected Mesh Network” and “PPMN,” refer generally to Cisco’s path protection
feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its path
protection feature in any particular topological network configuration. 10-105

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
ADM-10G Card
• Add or remove members from groups
• Put members into or out of service, which also adds/removes them from the group
• Add or remove cross-connect circuits from VCGs
Any operation on the VCG member is service effecting (for instance, adding or removing members from
the VCG). Adding or removing cross-connect circuits is not service-affecting, if the associated members
are not in the group
The ADM-10G card allows independent routing and protection preferences for each member of a VCAT
circuit. You can also control the amount of VCAT circuit capacity that is fully protected, unprotected, or
uses Protection Channel Access (PCA) (when PCA is available). Alarms are supported on a per-member
as well as per virtual concatenation group (VCG) basis.
The ADM-10G card supports both automatic and manual routing for VCAT circuit, that is, all members
are manually or automatically routed. Bidirectional VCAT circuits are symmetric, which means that the
same number of members travel in each direction. With automatic routing, you can specify the
constraints for individual members; with manual routing, you can select different spans for different
members. Two types of automatic and manual routing are available for VCAT members: common fiber
routing and split routing.
The ADM-10G card supports VCAT common fiber routing and VCAT split fiber (diverse) routing. With
VCAT split fiber routing, each member can be routed independently through the SONET or SDH or
DWDM network instead of having to follow the same path as required by CCAT and VCAT common
fiber routing. This allows a more efficient use of network bandwidth, but the different path lengths and
different delays encountered may cause slightly different arrival times for the individual members of the
VCG. The VCAT differential delay is this relative arrival time measurement between members of a
VCG. The maximum tolerable VCAT split fiber routing differential delay for the ADM-10G card is
approximately 55 milliseconds. A loss of alignment alarm is generated if the maximum differential delay
supported is exceeded.
The differential delay compensation function is automatically enabled when you choose split fiber
routing during the CTC circuit configuration process. CCAT and VCAT common fiber routing do not
enable or need differential delay support.
Caution Protection switches with switching time of less than 60 milliseconds are not guaranteed with the
differential delay compensation function enabled. The compensation time is added to the switching time.
Note For TL1, EXPBUFFERS parameter must be set to ON in the ENT-VCG command to enable support for
split fiber routing.

10.13.13 Automatic Laser Shutdown
The ALS procedure is supported on both client and trunk interfaces. On the client interface, ALS is
compliant with ITU-T G.664 (6/99). On the data application and trunk interface, the switch on and off
pulse duration is greater than 60 seconds. The on and off pulse duration is user-configurable. For details
on ALS provisioning for the card, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Intermediate Path Performance Monitoring
Intermediate path performance monitoring (IPPM) allows a node to monitor the constituent channel of
an incoming transmission signal. You can enable IPPM for STS/VC-4s payload on OCn and Trunk ports
of ADM-10G card. The IPPM is complaint with GR253/G.826.
Software Release 9.2 and higher enables the ADM-10G card to monitor the near-end and far-end PM
data on individual STS/VC-4 payloads by enabling IPPM. After provisioning IPPM on the card, service
providers can monitor large amounts of STS/VC-4 traffic through intermediate nodes, thus making
troubleshooting and maintenance activities more efficient. IPPM occurs only on STS/VC-4 paths that
have IPPM enabled, and TCAs are raised only for PM parameters on the selected IPPM paths.
For a CCAT circuit, you can enable IPPM only on the first STS/VC-4 of the concatenation group. For a
VCAT circuit, you can enable IPPM independently on each member STS/VC-4 of the concatenation
group.
Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring
Pointers are used to compensate for frequency and phase variations. Pointer justification counts indicate
timing errors on SONET networks. When a network is out of synchronization, jitter and wander occur
on the transported signal. Excessive wander can cause terminating equipment to slip.

ADM-10G Card
Slips cause different effects in service. Voice service has intermittent audible clicks. Compressed voice
technology has short transmission errors or dropped calls. Fax machines lose scanned lines or experience
dropped calls. Digital video transmission has distorted pictures or frozen frames. Encryption service
loses the encryption key, causing data to be transmitted again.
Pointers provide a way to align the phase variations in STS and VC4 payloads. The STS payload pointer
is located in the H1 and H2 bytes of the line overhead. Clocking differences are measured by the offset
in bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the STS synchronous payload envelope (SPE) called the J1
byte. Clocking differences that exceed the normal range of 0 to 782 can cause data loss.
There are positive (PPJC) and negative (NPJC) pointer justification count parameters. PPJC is a count
of path-detected (PPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (PPJC-PGEN-P) positive pointer justifications.
NPJC is a count of path-detected (NPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (NPJC-PGEN-P) negative pointer
justifications depending on the specific PM name. PJCDIFF is the absolute value of the difference
between the total number of detected pointer justification counts and the total number of generated
pointer justification counts. PJCS-PDET-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or more
PPJC-PDET or NPJC-PDET. PJCS-PGEN-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or
more PPJC-PGEN or NPJC-PGEN.
A consistent pointer justification count indicates clock synchronization problems between nodes. A
difference between the counts means that the node transmitting the original pointer justification has
timing variations with the node detecting and transmitting this count. Positive pointer adjustments occur
when the frame rate of the SPE is too slow in relation to the rate of the STS-1.
You must enable PPJC and NPJC performance monitoring parameters for ADM-10Gcard. In CTC, the
count fields for PPJC and NPJC PMs appear white and blank unless they are enabled on the card view
Provisioning tab.
Performance Monitoring Parameter Definitions
This section describes the STS and VC-4 path performance monitoring parameters that ADM-10G card
support.
Table 10-45 lists the STS near-end path performance monitoring parameters.
Table 10-45 STS Near-end Path Performance Monitoring Parameters
Parameter Definition
CV-P Near-End STS Path Coding Violations (CV-P) is a count of BIP errors
detected at the STS path layer (that is, using the B3 byte). Up to eight BIP
errors can be detected per frame; each error increments the current CV-P
second register.
ES-P Near-End STS Path Errored Seconds (ES-P) is a count of the seconds when
at least one STS path BIP error was detected. An AIS Path (AIS-P) defect (or
a lower-layer, traffic-related, near-end defect) or a Loss of Pointer Path
(LOP-P) defect can also cause an ES-P.
SES-P Near-End STS Path Severely Errored Seconds (SES-P) is a count of the
seconds when K (2400) or more STS path BIP errors were detected. An
AIS-P defect (or a lower-layer, traffic-related, near-end defect) or an LOP-P
defect can also cause an SES-P. 10-108

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
ADM-10G Card
Table 10-46 gives the VC-4 near-end path performance monitoring parameters definition that ADM-10G
card support.
UAS-P Near-End STS Path Unavailable Seconds (UAS-P) is a count of the seconds
when the STS path was unavailable. An STS path becomes unavailable when
ten consecutive seconds occur that qualify as SES-Ps, and continues to be
unavailable until ten consecutive seconds occur that do not qualify as
SES-Ps.
FC-P Near-End STS Path Failure Counts (FC-P) is a count of the number of
near-end STS path failure events. A failure event begins when an AIS-P
failure, an LOP-P failure, a UNEQ-P failure, or a Section Trace Identifier
Mismatch Path (TIM-P) failure is declared. A failure event also begins if the
STS PTE that is monitoring the path supports Three-Bit (Enhanced) Remote
Failure Indication Path Connectivity (ERFI-P-CONN) for that path. The
failure event ends when these failures are cleared.
PPJC-PDET-P Positive Pointer Justification Count, STS Path Detected (PPJC-PDET-P) is a
count of the positive pointer justifications detected on a particular path in an
incoming SONET signal.
PPJC-PGEN-P Positive Pointer Justification Count, STS Path Generated (PPJC-PGEN-P) is
a count of the positive pointer justifications generated for a particular path
to reconcile the frequency of the SPE with the local clock.
NPJC-PDET-P Negative Pointer Justification Count, STS Path Detected (NPJC-PDET-P) is
a count of the negative pointer justifications detected on a particular path in
an incoming SONET signal.
NPJC-PGEN-P Negative Pointer Justification Count, STS Path Generated (NPJC-PGEN-P)
is a count of the negative pointer justifications generated for a particular path
to reconcile the frequency of the SPE with the local clock.
PJCDIFF-P Pointer Justification Count Difference, STS Path (PJCDIFF-P) is the
absolute value of the difference between the total number of detected pointer
justification counts and the total number of generated pointer justification
counts. That is, PJCDiff-P is equal to (PPJC-PGEN-P - NPJC-PGEN-P) -
(PPJC-PDET-P - NPJC-PDET-P).
PJCS-PDET-P Pointer Justification Count Seconds, STS Path Detect (NPJCS-PDET-P) is a
count of the one-second intervals containing one or more PPJC-PDET or
NPJC-PDET.
PJCS-PGEN-P Pointer Justification Count Seconds, STS Path Generate (PJCS-PGEN-P) is
a count of the one-second intervals containing one or more PPJC-PGEN or
NPJC-PGEN.

The OTU2_XP card is a multi-functional card that operates in different configurations, such as
transponder, standard regenerator, E-FEC regenerator, and 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy
conversion mode. The OTU2_XP card acts as a protected transponder, when the 10G Ethernet LAN Phy
to WAN Phy is in splitter protected transponder configuration mode.
Depending on the configuration of the OTU2_XP card, the ports act as client or trunk ports (see
Table 10-49). This following section describes the client and trunk rates supported on the OTU2_XP
card for different card configurations:
10.14.5.1 Client Interface
In transponder and 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy card configurations, Ports 1 and 2 act as client
ports and in splitter protected transponder configuration, Port 1 acts as a client port. For these card
configurations, the client rates supported are:
• OC-192/STM-64
• 10G Ethernet WAN Phy
• 10G Ethernet LAN Phy
• 10G Fibre Channel
• IB_5G
10.14.5.2 Trunk Interface
In transponder, 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy, and splitter protected transponder card
configurations, Ports 3 and 4 act as trunk ports. For these card configurations, the trunk rates supported
are:
• OC-192/STM-64
• 10G Ethernet WAN Phy
• 10G Ethernet LAN Phy
• 10G Fibre Channel
• OTU2 G.709
• Proprietary rate at the trunk when the client is provisioned as IB_5G.
In standard regenerator card configuration, all four ports act as trunk ports and in E-FEC regenerator
configuration, Ports 3 and 4 act as the trunk ports. For these card configurations, the trunk rate supported
is OTU2 G.709
Note The above mentioned OTU2 signal must be an OC-192/STM-64, 10G Ethernet WAN Phy,
10G Ethernet LAN Phy, or 10G Fibre Channel signal packaged into an OTU2 G.709 frame.

10.14.6 Configuration Management
The OTU2_XP card supports the following configuration management parameters:
• Card Configuration—Provisionable card configuration: Transponder, Standard Regen, Enhanced
FEC, or Mixed, or 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy.
• Port Mode—Provisionable port mode when the card configuration is set as Mixed. The port mode
can be chosen as either Transponder or Standard Regen for each port pair (1-3 and 2-4). For card
configurations other than Mixed, CTC automatically sets the port mode depending on the selected
card configuration. For 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy mode, CTC automatically selects the
port pair (1-3) as 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy. Port pair (2-4) in
10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy mode is selected as Transponder or Standard Regen.
• Termination Mode—Provisionable termination mode when the card configuration is set as either
Transponder or Mixed. The termination mode can be chosen as Transparent, Section, or Line. For
Standard Regen and Enhanced FEC card configurations, CTC automatically sets the termination
mode as Transparent. For 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy mode, CTC automatically selects the
Termination Mode of port pair (1-3) as Line. You cannot provision the Termination Mode parameter.
• AIS/Squelch—Provisionable AIS/Squelch mode configuration when the card configuration is set as
either Transponder or Mixed. The termination mode configuration can be chosen as AIS or Squelch.
For Standard Regen and Enhanced FEC card configurations, CTC automatically sets the termination
mode configuration as AIS. For 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy mode, the CTC automatically
selects the AIS/Squelch of port pair (1-3) as Squelch. You cannot provision the AIS/Squelch
parameter.
Note When you choose the 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy conversion, the Termination mode is
automatically set to LINE. The AIS/Squelch is set to SQUELCH and ODU Transparency is set to Cisco
Extended Use for Ports 1 and 3.
• Regen Line Name—User-assigned text string for regeneration line name.
• ODU Transparency—Provisionable ODU overhead byte configuration, either Transparent Standard
Use or Cisco Extended Use. See the “10.14.10 ODU Transparency” section on page 10-120 for
more detailed information. For 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy mode, CTC automatically
selects the ODU Transparency as Cisco Extended Use. You cannot provision the ODU Transparency
parameter.
• Port name—User-assigned text string.
• Admin State/Service State—Administrative and service states to manage and view port status.
• ALS Mode—Provisionable ALS function.
• Reach—Provisionable optical reach distance of the port.
• Wavelength—Provisionable wavelength of the port.
• AINS Soak—Provisionable automatic in-service soak period.
10.14.7 OTU2_XP Card Configuration Rules
The following rules apply to OTU2_XP card configurations:
• When you preprovision the card, port pairs 1-3 and 2-4 come up in the default Transponder
configuration.10-118
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
OTU2_XP Card
• The port pairs 1-3 and 2-4 can be configured in different modes only when the card configuration is
Mixed. If the card configuration is Mixed, you must choose different modes on port pairs 1-3 and
2-4 (that is, one port pair in Transponder mode and the other port pair in Standard Regen mode).
• If the card is in Transponder configuration, you can change the configuration to Standard Regen or
Enhanced FEC.
• If the card is in Standard Regen configuration and you have configured only one port pair, then
configuring payload rates for the other port pair automatically changes the card configuration to
Mixed, with the new port pair in Transponder mode.
• If the card is in Standard Regen configuration, you cannot directly change the configuration to
Enhanced FEC. You have to change to Transponder configuration and then configure the card as
Enhanced FEC.
• If the card is in Enhanced FEC configuration, Ports 1 and 2 are disabled. Hence, you cannot directly
change the configuration to Standard Regen or Mixed. You must remove the Enhanced FEC group
by moving the card to Transponder configuration, provision PPM on Ports 1 and 2, and then change
the card configuration to Standard Regen or Mixed.
• If the card is in Standard Regen or Enhanced FEC configuration, you cannot change the payload rate
of the port pairs. You have to change the configuration to Transponder, change the payload rate, and
then move the card configuration back to Standard Regen or Enhanced FEC.
• If any of the affected ports are in IS (ANSI) or Unlocked-enabled (ETSI) state, you cannot change
the card configuration.
• If IB_5G payload has to be provisioned, the NE Default should match the values listed in the
Table 10-52. For more information on editing the NE Default values, see the “NTP-G135 Edit
Network Element Defaults” task.
• If the card is changed to 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy, the first PPM port is deleted and
replaced by a 10G Ethernet port; the third PPM port is deleted and automatically replaced with
OC192/STM64 (SONET/SDH) port. The third PPM port is automatically deleted and the third PPM
port is replaced with OC192/STM64 (SONET/SDH).

10.14.8 Security
The OTU2_XP card, when an XFP is plugged into it, implements the Cisco Standard Security Code
Check Algorithm that keys on vendor ID and serial number.
If a PPM is plugged into a port on the card but fails the security code check because it is not a Cisco
PPM, a NON-CISCO-PPM Not Reported (NR) condition occurs.
If a PPM with a nonqualified product ID is plugged into a port on this card, that is, the PPM passes the
security code as a Cisco PPM but it has not been qualified for use on the OTU2_XP card, a
UNQUAL-PPM NR condition occurs.
10.14.9 Automatic Laser Shutdown
The ALS procedure is supported on both client and trunk interfaces. On the client interface, ALS is
compliant with ITU-T G.664 (6/99). On the data application and trunk interface, the switch on and off
pulse duration is greater than 60 seconds. The on and off pulse duration is user-configurable. For details
on ALS provisioning for the card, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.

OTU2_XP Card
10.14.10 ODU Transparency
A key feature of the OTU2_XP card is the ability to configure the ODU overhead bytes (EXP bytes and
RES bytes 1 and 2) using the ODU Transparency parameter. The two options available for this parameter
are:
• Transparent Standard Use—ODU overhead bytes are transparently passed through the card. This
option allows the OTU2_XP card to act transparently between two trunk ports (when the card is
configured in Standard Regen or Enhanced FEC).
• Cisco Extended Use—ODU overhead bytes are terminated and regenerated on both ports of the
regenerator group.
The ODU Transparency parameter is configurable only for Standard Regen and Enhanced FEC card
configuration. For Transponder card configuration, this parameter defaults to Cisco Extended Use and
cannot be changed.
Note The Forward Error Correction (FEC) Mismatch (FEC-MISM) alarm will not be raised on OTU2_XP card
when you choose Transparent Standard Use.
10.14.11 Protection
The OTU2_XP card supports Y-cable and splitter protection. Y-cable protection is provided at the client
port level. Splitter protection is provided at the trunk port level.
10.14.11.1 Y-Cable Protection
The OTU2_XP card supports Y-cable protection on client ports when it is provisioned in the transponder
card configuration. Two cards can be joined in a Y-cable protection group with one card assigned as the
working card and the other defined as the protection card. This protection mechanism provides
redundant bidirectional paths. See the “10.19.1 Y-Cable Protection” section on page 10-139 for more
detailed information. When a signal fault is detected (LOS, LOF, SD, or SF on the DWDM receiver port
in the case of ITU-T G.709 mode) the protection mechanism software automatically switches between
paths.
Note When the 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy conversion feature is enabled, Y-cable protection is not
supported on the LAN to WAN interface (ports 1 and 3).
10.14.11.2 Splitter Protection
The OTU2_XP card supports splitter protection on trunk ports that are not part of a regenerator group
(see Table 10-49 for port details). You can create and delete splitter protection groups in OTU2_XP card.
In splitter protection method, a client injects a single signal into the client RX port. An optical splitter
internal to the card then splits the signal into two separate signals and routes them to the two trunk TX
ports. See the “10.19.2 Splitter Protection” section on page 10-141 for more detailed information.
In the splitter protected 10G Ethernet LAN Phy to WAN Phy mode, AIS-P and LOP-P acts as trigger
(when G.709 is enabled) for the Protection Switch, in addition to the existing switching criteria.
The STS parameters such as, SF /SD thresholds, Path PM thresholds, and Path Trace is set for the
working path (Port 3). The same parameters are also applicable for the protected path (Port 4).10-121

MLSE UT
10.15 MLSE UT
The maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) based universal transponder (UT) modules are
added to the TXP_MR_10EX_C, MXP_2.5G_10EX_C, and MXP_MR_10DMEX_C cards to support
the error decorrelator functionality to enhance system performance.
10.15.1 Error Decorrelator
The MLSE feature uses the error decorrelator functionality to reduce the chromatic dispersion (CD) and
polarization mode dispersion (PMD), thereby extending the transmission range on the trunk interface.
You can enable or disable the error decorrelator functionality using CTC or TL1. The dispersion
compensation unit (DCU) is also used to reduce CD and PMD. The MLSE-based UT module helps to
reduce CD and PMD without the use of a DCU.
10.16 TXP_MR_10EX_C Card
The TXP_MR_10EX_C card is a multirate transponder for the ONS 15454 platform. The card is fully
backward compatible with TXP_MR_10E_C cards (only when the error decorrelator is disabled in the
CTC on the TXP_MR_10EX_C card). It processes one 10-Gbps signal (client side) into one 10-Gbps,
100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side). The TXP_MR_10EX_C card is tunable over the 82 channels of
C-band (82 channels spaced at 50 GHz on the ITU grid).
You can install TXP_MR_10EX_C card in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. The card can be provisioned in
linear, BLSR/MS-SPRing, path protection/SNCP configurations or as a regenerator. The card can be
used in the middle of BLSR/MS-SPRing or 1+1 spans when the card is configured for transparent
termination mode. The TXP_MR_10EX_C card features an MLSE-based Universal Transponder
1550-nm tunable laser and a separately orderable ONS-XC-10G-S1 1310-nm or ONS-XC-10G-L2
1550-nm laser XFP module for the client port.
Note The PRE FEC BER performance of the TXP_MR_10EX_C card may be significantly low when
compared to the TXP_MR_10E card. However, this does not affect the Post FEC BER performance, but
could possibly affect any specific monitoring application that relies on the PRE FEC BER value (for
example, protection switching). In this case, the replacement of TXP_MR_10E card with the
TXP_MR_10EX_C may not work properly.
Note When the ONS-XC-10G-L2 XFP is installed, the TXP_MR_10EX_C card must be installed in a
high-speed slot (slot 6, 7, 12, or 13)
On its faceplate, the TXP_MR_10EX_C card contains two transmit and receive connector pairs, one for
the trunk port and one for the client port. Each connector pair is labeled.
10.16.1 Key Features
The key features of the TXP_MR_10EX_C card are:
• A multi-rate client interface (available through the ONS-XC-10G-S1 XFP, ordered separately):10-122

For information on safety labels for the card, see the “10.2.2 Class 1M Laser Product Cards” section on
page 10-10.
Caution You must use a 15-dB fiber attenuator (10 to 20 dB) when working with the TXP_MR_10EX_C card in
a loopback on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with this card, because they can cause
irreparable damage to the card.
10.16.3 Client Interface
The client interface is implemented with a separately orderable XFP module. The module is a tri-rate
transceiver, providing a single port that can be configured in the field to support an OC-192 SR-1
(Telcordia GR-253-CORE) or STM-64 I-64.1 (ITU-T G.691) optical interface, as well as 10GE LAN
PHY (10GBASE-LR), 10GE WAN PHY (10GBASE-LW), 10G-FC signals, or IB_5G signals.
The client-side XFP pluggable module supports LC connectors and is equipped with a 1310-nm laser.
10.16.4 DWDM Trunk Interface
On the trunk side, the TXP_MR_10EX_C card provides a 10-Gbps STM-64/OC-192 interface. In the
1550-nm C-band on the 50-GHz ITU grid for the DWDM interface, 82 tunable channels are available.
The TXP_MR_10EX_C card provides 3R transponder functionality for this 10-Gbps trunk interface.
Therefore, the card is suited for use in long-range amplified systems. The DWDM interface is compliant
with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE standards.
The DWDM trunk port operates at a rate that depends on the input signal and the presence of the
ITU-T G.709 Digital Wrapper/FEC. The possible trunk rates are:
• OC192 (9.95328 Gbps)
• OTU2 (10.70923 Gbps)
• 10GE (10.3125 Gbps) or 10GE into OTU2 (ITU G.sup43 11.0957 Gbps)
• 10G-FC (10.51875 Gbps) or 10G-FC into OTU2 (nonstandard 11.31764 Gbps)
• Proprietary rate at the trunk when the client is provisioned as IB_5G.
The maximum system reach in filterless applications without the use of optical amplification or
regenerators is nominally rated at 23 dB over C-SMF fiber. This rating is not a product specification, but
is given for informational purposes. It is subject to change.
Note You cannot disable ITU-T G.709 on the trunk side. If ITU-T G.709 is enabled, then FEC cannot be
disabled.
10.16.5 Enhanced FEC (E-FEC) Feature
A key feature of the TXP_MR_10EX_C card is the availability to configure the forward error correction
feature in two modes: FEC and E-FEC. The output bit rate is always 10.7092 Gbps as defined in
ITU-T G.709, but the error coding performance can be provisioned as follows:
• FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975 Reed-Solomon algorithm
• E-FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975.1 I.7 algorithm, (a super FEC code)10-124

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
TXP_MR_10EX_C Card
10.16.6 FEC and E-FEC Modes
As client-side traffic passes through the TXP_MR_10EX_C card, it can be digitally wrapped using FEC
mode or E-FEC mode. The FEC mode setting provides a lower level of error detection and correction
than the E-FEC mode setting of the card. As a result, using E-FEC mode allows higher sensitivity (lower
OSNR) with a lower bit error rate than FEC mode. E-FEC enables longer distance trunk-side
transmission than with FEC.
The E-FEC feature is one of three basic modes of FEC operation. FEC can be turned on, or E-FEC can
be turned on to provide greater range and lower BER. The default mode is FEC on and E-FEC off. E-FEC
is provisioned using CTC.
Caution Because the transponder has no visibility into the data payload and detect circuits, the
TXP_MR_10EX_C card does not display circuits under the card view.
10.16.7 Client-to-Trunk Mapping
The TXP_MR_10EX_C card can perform ODU2-to-OCh mapping, which allows operators to provision
data payloads in a standard way across 10-Gbps optical links.
Digital wrappers that define client-side interfaces are called ODU2 entities in ITU-T G.709. Digital
wrappers that define trunk-side interfaces are called OCh in ITU-T G.709. ODU2 digital wrappers can
include G-MPLS signaling extensions to ITU-T G.709 (such as LSP and G-PID values) to define client
interfaces and payload protocols.
10.16.8 Automatic Laser Shutdown
The ALS procedure is supported on both client and trunk interfaces. On the client interface, ALS is
compliant with ITU-T G.664 (6/99). On the data application and trunk interface, the switch on and off
pulse duration is greater than 60 seconds and is user-configurable. For details regarding ALS
provisioning for the TXP_MR_10EX_C card, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.

10.17 MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card
The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card is a DWDM muxponder for the ONS 15454 platform that supports
transparent termination mode on the client side. The faceplate designation of the card is “4x2.5G
10EX MXP.” The card multiplexes four 2.5-Gbps client signals (4xOC48/STM-16 SFP) into a single
10-Gbps DWDM optical signal on the trunk side. The card provides wavelength transmission service for
the four incoming 2.5-Gbps client interfaces. The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C muxponder passes all
SONET/SDH overhead bytes transparently.
The digital wrapper function (ITU-T G.709 compliant) formats the DWDM wavelength so that it can be
used to set up GCCs for data communications, enable FEC, or facilitate PM.
The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card works with OTN devices defined in ITU-T G.709. The card supports
ODU1 to OTU2 multiplexing, an industry standard method for asynchronously mapping a SONET/SDH
payload into a digitally wrapped envelope. See the “10.8.5 Multiplexing Function” section on
page 10-44.
The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card is not compatible with the MXP_2.5G_10G card, which does not support
transparent termination mode.
You can install the MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card in slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17. You can provision a card in a
linear configuration, a BLSR/MS-SPRing, a path protection/SNCP, or a regenerator. The card can be
used in the middle of BLSR/MS-SPRing or 1+1 spans when the card is configured for transparent
termination mode.
The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card features a tunable 1550-nm C-band laser on the trunk port. The laser is
tunable across 82 wavelengths on the ITU grid with 50-GHz spacing between wavelengths. The card
features four 1310-nm lasers on the client ports and contains five transmit and receive connector pairs

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card
(labeled) on the card faceplate. The card uses dual LC connectors on the trunk side and SFP modules on
the client side for optical cable termination. The SFP pluggable modules are SR or IR and support an LC
fiber connector.
Note When you create a 4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit, you need to select the G.709 and Synchronous options. A
4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit is supported by G.709 and synchronous mode, which are necessary to
provision the 4xOC-48 OCHCC circuit.
10.17.1 Key Features
The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card has the following high-level features:
• Four 2.5-Gbps client interfaces (OC-48/STM-16) and one 10-Gbps trunk. The four OC-48 signals
are mapped into an ITU-T G.709 OTU2 signal using standard ITU-T G.709 multiplexing.
• Onboard E-FEC processor: The processor supports both standard RS (specified in ITU-T G.709) and
E-FEC, which allows an improved gain on trunk interfaces with a resultant extension of the
transmission range on these interfaces. The E-FEC functionality increases the correction capability
of the transponder to improve performance, allowing operation at a lower OSNR compared to the
standard RS (237,255) correction algorithm.
• Pluggable client-interface optic modules: The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card has modular interfaces.
Two types of optic modules can be plugged into the card. These modules include an OC-48/STM-16
SR-1 interface with a 7-km (4.3-mile) nominal range (for short range and intra-office applications)
and an IR-1 interface with a range of up to 40 km (24.9 miles). SR-1 is defined in Telcordia
GR-253-CORE and in I-16 (ITU-T G.957). IR-1 is defined in Telcordia GR-253-CORE and in
S-16-1 (ITU-T G.957).
• High-level provisioning support: The card is initially provisioned using Cisco TransportPlanner
software. Subsequently, the card can be monitored and provisioned using CTC software.
• Link monitoring and management: The card uses standard OC-48 OH (overhead) bytes to monitor
and manage incoming interfaces. The card passes the incoming SDH/SONET data stream and its
overhead bytes transparently.
• Control of layered SONET/SDH transport overhead: The card is provisionable to terminate
regenerator section overhead, which eliminates forwarding of unneeded layer overhead. It can help
reduce the number of alarms and help isolate faults in the network.
• Automatic timing source synchronization: The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card normally synchronizes
from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card. If for some reason, such as maintenance or upgrade
activity, the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC is not available, the card automatically synchronize to
one of the input client-interface clocks.
• Configurable squelching policy: The card can be configured to squelch the client interface output if
LOS occurs at the DWDM receiver or if a remote fault occurs. In the event of a remote fault, the
card manages MS-AIS insertion.
• The card is tunable across the full C-band, thus eliminating the need to use different versions of each
card to provide tunability across specific wavelengths in a band.
• The MTU setting is used to display the ifInerrors and OverSizePkts counters on the receiving trunk
and client port interfaces. Traffic of frame sizes up to 65535 bytes pass without any packet drops,
from the client port to the trunk port and vice versa irrespective of the MTU setting.10-127

on the client side. Both SR-1 and IR-1 optics can be supported and the ports use SFP connectors. The
client interfaces use four wavelengths in the 1310-nm, ITU 100-GHz-spaced, channel grid.

MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card
10.17.4 DWDM Interface
The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card serves as OTN multiplexers, transparently mapping four OC-48 channels
asynchronously to ODU1 into one 10-Gbps trunk. For the MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card, the DWDM trunk
is tunable for transmission over the entire C-band. Channels are spaced at 50-GHz on the ITU grid.
Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the card in a loopback on the
trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the card, because they can cause irreparable damage
to the MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card.
Note You cannot disable ITU-T G.709 on the trunk side. If ITU-T G.709 is enabled, then FEC cannot be
disabled.
10.17.5 Multiplexing Function
The muxponder is an integral part of the ROADM network. The key function of the MXP_2.5G_10EX_C
card is to multiplex four OC-48/STM-16 signals onto one ITU-T G.709 OTU2 optical signal (DWDM
transmission). The multiplexing mechanism allows the signal to be terminated at a far-end node by
another similar card.
Transparent termination on the muxponder is configured using OTUx and ODUx OH bytes. The
ITU-T G.709 specification defines OH byte formats that are used to configure, set, and monitor frame
alignment, FEC mode, section monitoring, tandem connection monitoring, and transparent termination
mode.
The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card performs ODU to OTU multiplexing as defined in ITU-T G.709. The
ODU is the framing structure and byte definition (ITU-T G.709 digital wrapper) used to define the data
payload coming into one of the SONET/SDH client interfaces on the card. The term ODU1 refers to an
ODU that operates at 2.5-Gbps line rate. On the card, four client interfaces can be defined using ODU1
framing structure and format by asserting an ITU-T G.709 digital wrapper.
The output of the muxponder is a single 10-Gbps DWDM trunk interface defined using OTU2. It is
within the OTU2 framing structure that FEC or E-FEC information is appended to enable error checking
and correction.
10.17.6 Timing Synchronization
The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card is synchronized to the TCC2/TCC2P /TCC3/TNC/TSC clock during
normal conditions and transmits the ITU-T G.709 frame using this clock. No holdover function is
implemented. If neither TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC clock is available, the card switches
automatically (hitless) to the first of the four valid client clocks with no time restriction as to how long
it can run on this clock. The card continues to monitor the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card. If a
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card is restored to working order, the card reverts to the normal working
mode of running from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC clock. If no valid
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC clock is available and all of the client channels become invalid, the card
waits (no valid frames processed) until one of the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards supplies a valid
clock. In addition, the card is allowed to select the recovered clock from one active and valid client
channel and supply that clock to the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card.10-129

10.17.7 Enhanced FEC (E-FEC) Capability
The MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card can configure the FEC in two modes: FEC and E-FEC. The output bit
rate is always 10.7092 Gbps as defined in ITU-T G.709, but the error coding performance can be
provisioned as follows:
• FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975 Reed-Solomon algorithm
• E-FEC—Standard ITU-T G.975.1 I.7, two orthogonally concatenated BCH super FEC codes. This
FEC scheme contains three parameterizations of the same scheme of two orthogonally interleaved
block codes (BCH). The constructed code is decoded iteratively to achieve the expected
performance.
10.17.8 FEC and E-FEC Modes
As client-side traffic passes through the card, it can be digitally wrapped using FEC mode error
correction or E-FEC mode error correction. The FEC mode setting provides a lower level of error
detection and correction than the E-FEC mode setting of the card. As a result, using E-FEC mode allows
higher sensitivity (lower OSNR) with a lower BER than FEC mode. E-FEC enables longer distance
trunk-side transmission than with FEC.
The E-FEC feature is one of three basic modes of FEC operation. FEC can be turned on, or E-FEC can
be turned on to provide greater range and lower BER. The default mode is FEC on and E-FEC off. E-FEC
is provisioned using CTC.
10.17.9 SONET/SDH Overhead Byte Processing
The card passes the incoming SONET/SDH data stream and its overhead bytes for the client signal
transparently. The card can be provisioned to terminate regenerator section overhead, which eliminates
forwarding of unneeded layer overhead. It can help reduce the number of alarms and help isolate faults
in the network.
10.17.10 Client Interface Monitoring
The following parameters are monitored on the MXP_2.5G_10EX_C card:
• Laser bias current is measured as a PM parameter.
• LOS is detected and signaled.
• Rx and Tx power are monitored.
The following parameters are monitored in real-time mode (one second):
• Optical power transmitted (client)
• Optical power received (client)
In the case of LOC at the DWDM receiver or far-end LOS, the client interface behavior is configurable.
AIS can be invoked or the client signal can be squelched.10-130

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_MR_10DMEX_C Card
Caution The card can be damaged by dropping it. Handle it carefully.
The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C muxponder passes all SONET/SDH overhead bytes transparently.
The digital wrapper function (ITU-T G.709 compliant) formats the DWDM wavelength so that it can be
used to set up GCCs for data communications, enable FEC, or facilitate PM. The
MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card works with the OTN devices defined in ITU-T G.709. The card supports
ODU1 to OTU2 multiplexing, an industry standard method for asynchronously mapping a SONET/SDH
payload into a digitally wrapped envelope. See the “10.7.7 Multiplexing Function” section on
page 10-36.
Note You cannot disable ITU-T G.709 on the trunk side. If ITU-T G.709 is enabled, then FEC cannot be
disabled.
Note Because the client payload cannot oversubscribe the trunk, a mix of client signals can be accepted, up to
a maximum limit of 10 Gbps.
You can install the MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card in slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
Note The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card is not compatible with the MXP_2.5G_10G card, which does not
support transparent termination mode.
The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card features a tunable 1550-nm C-band laser on the trunk port. The laser
is tunable across 82 wavelengths on the ITU grid with 50-GHz spacing between wavelengths. Each card
features four 1310-nm lasers on the client ports and contains five transmit and receive connector pairs
(labeled) on the card faceplate. The card uses dual LC connectors on the trunk side and SFP modules on
the client side for optical cable termination. The SFP pluggable modules are SR or IR and support an LC
fiber connector.
Table 10-59 shows the input data rate for each client interface, and the encapsulation method. The
current version of the GFP-T G.7041 supports transparent mapping of 8B/10B block-coded protocols,
including Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, ISC, and FICON.
In addition to the GFP mapping, 1-Gbps traffic on Port 1 or 2 of the high-speed SERDES is mapped to
an STS-24c channel. If two 1-Gbps client signals are present at Port 1 and Port 2 of the high-speed
SERDES, the Port 1 signal is mapped into the first STS-24c channel and the Port 2 signal into the second
STS-24c channel. The two channels are then mapped into an OC-48 trunk channel.

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
MXP_MR_10DMEX_C Card
The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card includes two FPGAs, and a group of four ports is mapped to each
FPGA. Group 1 consists of Ports 1 through 4, and Group 2 consists of Ports 5 through 8. Table 10-60
shows some of the mix and match possibilities on the various client data rates for Ports 1 through 4, and
Ports 5 through 8. An X indicates that the data rate is supported in that port.
GFP-T PM is available through RMON and trunk PM is managed according to Telcordia GR-253-CORE
and ITU G.783/826. Client PM is achieved through RMON for FC and GE.
A buffer-to-buffer credit management scheme provides FC flow control. With this feature enabled, a port
indicates the number of frames that can be sent to it (its buffer credit), before the sender is required to
stop transmitting and wait for the receipt of a “ready” indication. The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card
supports FC credit-based flow control with a buffer-to-buffer credit extension of up to 1600 km (994.1
miles) for 1G FC, up to 800 km (497.1 miles) for 2G FC, or up to 400 km (248.5 miles) for 4G FC. The
feature can be enabled or disabled.
The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card features a 1550-nm laser for the trunk/line port and a 1310-nm or
850-nm laser (depending on the SFP) for the client ports. The card contains eight 12.5-degree
downward-tilt SFP modules for the client interfaces. For optical termination, each SFP uses two LC
connectors, which are labeled TX and RX on the faceplate. The trunk port is a dual-LC connector with
a 45-degree downward angle.
10.18.1 Key Features
The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card has the following high-level features:
• Onboard E-FEC processor: The processor supports both standard RS (specified in ITU-T G.709) and
E-FEC, which allows an improved gain on trunk interfaces with a resultant extension of the
transmission range on these interfaces. The E-FEC functionality increases the correction capability
of the transponder to improve performance, allowing operation at a lower OSNR compared to the
standard RS (237,255) correction algorithm.
• Pluggable client-interface optic modules: The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card has modular interfaces.
Two types of optics modules can be plugged into the card. These modules include an
OC-48/STM-16 SR-1 interface with a 7-km (4.3-mile) nominal range (for short range and

defined in Telcordia GR-253-CORE and in I-16 (ITU-T G.957). IR-1 is defined in Telcordia
GR-253-CORE and in S-16-1 (ITU-T G.957).
• Y-cable protection: The card supports Y-cable protection between the same card type only, on ports
with the same port number and signal rate. See the “10.19.1 Y-Cable Protection” section on
page 10-139 for more detailed information.
• High-level provisioning support: The card is initially provisioned using Cisco TransportPlanner
software. Subsequently, the card can be monitored and provisioned using CTC software.
• ALS: This safety mechanism is used in the event of a fiber cut. For details regarding ALS
provisioning for the MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure
Guide.
• Link monitoring and management: The card uses standard OC-48 OH(overhead) bytes to monitor
and manage incoming interfaces. The card passes the incoming SDH/SONET data stream and its
OH(overhead) bytes transparently.
• Control of layered SONET/SDH transport overhead: The card is provisionable to terminate
regenerator section overhead, which eliminates forwarding of unneeded layer overhead. It can help
reduce the number of alarms and help isolate faults in the network.
• Automatic timing source synchronization: The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card normally synchronizes
from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card. If for some reason, such as maintenance or upgrade
activity, the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC is not available, the card automatically synchronizes to
one of the input client-interface clocks.
Note MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card cannot be used for line timing.
• Configurable squelching policy: The card can be configured to squelch the client-interface output if
LOS occurs at the DWDM receiver or if a remote fault occurs. In the event of a remote fault, the
card manages MS-AIS insertion.
• The card is tunable across the full C-band, thus eliminating the need to use different versions of each
card to provide tunability across specific wavelengths in a band.
• You can provision a string (port name) for each fiber channel/FICON interface on the
MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card, which allows the MDS Fabric Manager to create a link association
between that SAN port and a SAN port on a Cisco MDS 9000 switch.

For information on safety labels for the card, see the “10.2.2 Class 1M Laser Product Cards” section on
page 10-10.
Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the card in a loopback on the
trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the card, because they can cause irreparable damage
to the MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card.
10.18.3 Wavelength Identification
The card uses trunk lasers that are wavelocked, which allows the trunk transmitter to operate on the ITU
grid effectively. The MXP_MR_10DMEX_C card uses a C-band version of the MLSE-based UT
module.

Note GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards use VLAN protection when they are provisioned in
L2-over-DWDM mode. For information, see the “10.12.10.3 Layer 2 Over DWDM Protection” section
on page 10-81. The ADM-10G card uses path protection and 1+1 protection. For more information, see
the “10.13.10 Protection” section on page 10-103.

Y-Cable and Splitter Protection
• 40G-MXP-C
• GE_XP and GE_XPE (when in 10GE or 20GE MXP card mode)
• 10GE_XP and 10GE_XPE (when in 10GE TXP card mode)
• OTU2_XP (when in Transponder card configuration)
To create Y-cable protection, you create a Y-cable protection group for two TXP, MXP, or Xponder cards
using the CTC software, then connect the client ports of the two cards physically with a Y-cable. The
single client signal is sent into the RX Y-cable and is split between the two TXP, MXP, or Xponder cards.
The two TX signals from the client side of the TXP, MXP, or Xponder cards are combined in the TX
Y-cable into a single client signal. Only the active card signal passes through as the single TX client
signal. The other card must have its laser turned off to avoid signal degradation where the Y-cable joins.
When an MXP_MR_2.5G, MXP_MR_10DME_C, or MXP_MR_10DME_L card that is provisioned
with Y-cable protection is used on a storage ISL link (FC1G, FC2G, FC4G, FICON1G, FICON2G, or
FICON4G), a protection switchover resets the standby port to active. This reset reinitialises the
end-to-end link to avoid any link degradation caused due to loss of buffer credits during switchover and
results in an end-to-end traffic hit of 15 to 20 seconds.
When using the MXP_MR_10DME_C or MXP_MR_10DME_L card, enable the fast switch feature and
use it with a Cisco MDS storage switch to avoid this 15 to 20 second traffic hit. When enabling fast
switch on the MXP_MR_10DME_C or MXP_MR_10DME_L card, ensure that the attached MDS
switches have the buffer-to-buffer credit recovery feature enabled.
You can also use the TXP_MR_2.5G card to avoid this 15 to 20 second traffic hit. When a Y-cable
protection switchover occurs, the storage ISL link does not reinitialize and results in an end-to-end
traffic hit of less than 50ms.
Note Y-cable connectors will not work with copper SFPs because Y-cables are made up of optical connectors
and there is no way to physically connect them to a copper SFP. Y-cable protection is not supported on
IB_5G.
Note There is a traffic hit of upto a couple hundred milliseconds on the MXP_MR_2.5G and
MXP_MR_10DME cards in Y-cable configuration when a fiber cut or SFP failure occurs on one of the
client ports.
Note The OTU2_XP and 40E-MXP-C card cannot implement Y-cable protection for the client ports in 10 GE
LAN PHY mode. Hence, a pair of OTU2_XP cards is used at each end in pass-through mode
(Transponder mode with G.709 disabled) to implement Y-cable protection. The 40E-MXP-CE card can
implement Y-cable protection without the OTU2_XP card for the client ports in LAN PHY GFP mode.
However, the 40E-MXP-CE card cannot implement Y-cable protection without the OTU2_XP card for
the client ports in LAN PHY WIS mode.
Note If you create a GCC on either card of the protect group, the trunk port stays permanently active,
regardless of the switch state. When you provision a GCC, you are provisioning unprotected overhead
bytes. The GCC is not protected by the protect group.
Figure 10-37 on page 10-141 shows the Y-cable signal flow.10-141

Chapter 10 Transponder and Muxponder Cards
Y-Cable and Splitter Protection
Note Loss of Signal–Payload (LOS-P) alarms, also called Incoming Payload Signal Absent alarms, can occur
on a split signal if the ports are not in a Y-cable protection group.
Note Removing an SFP from the client ports of a card in a Y-cable protection group card causes an
IMPROPRMVL (PPM) alarm. The working port raises the IMPROPRMVL alarm and the protected port
raises the IMPROPRMVL alarm. The severity on the client ports is changed according to the protection
switch state.
Figure 10-37 Y-Cable Protection
10.19.2 Splitter Protection
Splitter protection, shown in Figure 10-38, is provided with TXPP cards, MXPP cards., and OTU2_XP
cards (on trunk ports that are not part of a regenerator group). You can create and delete splitter
protection groups in OTU2_XP card.
To implement splitter protection, a client injects a single signal into the client RX port. An optical splitter
internal to the card then splits the signal into two separate signals and routes them to the two trunk TX
ports. The two signals are transmitted over diverse optical paths. The far-end MXPP or TXPP card uses
an optical switch to choose one of the two trunk RX port signals and injects it into the TX client port.
When using splitter protection with two MXPP or TXPP cards, there are two different optical signals
that flow over diverse paths in each direction. In case of failure, the far-end switch must choose the
appropriate signal using its built-in optical switch. The triggers for a protection switch are LOS, LOF,
SF, or SD.

Far-End Laser Control
Figure 10-38 Splitter Protection
10.20 Far-End Laser Control
The 15454 DWDM cards provide a transparent mode that accurately conveys the client input signal to
the far-end client output signal. The client signal is normally carried as payload over the DWDM signals.
Certain client signals, however, cannot be conveyed as payload. In particular, client LOS or LOF cannot
be carried. Far-end laser control (FELC) is the ability to convey an LOS or LOF from the near-end client
input to the far-end client output.
If an LOS is detected on the near-end client input, the near-end trunk sets the appropriate bytes in the
OTN overhead of the DWDM line. These bytes are received by the far-end trunk, and cause the far-end
client laser to be turned off. When the laser is turned off, it is said to be squelched. If the near-end LOS
clears, the near-end trunk clears the appropriate bytes in the OTN overhead, the far-end detects the
changed bytes, and the far-end client squelch is removed.
FELC also covers the situation in which the trunk port detects that it has an invalid signal; the client is
squelched so as not to propagate the invalid signal.
Payload types with the 2R mode preclude the use of OTN overhead bytes. In 2R mode, an LOS on the
client port causes the trunk laser to turn off. The far end detects the LOS on its trunk receiver and
squelches the client.
FELC is not provisionable. It is always enabled when the DWDM card is in transparent termination
mode. However, FELC signaling to the far-end is only possible when ITU-T G.709 is enabled on both
ends of the trunk span.
10.21 Jitter Considerations
Jitter introduced by the SFPs used in the transponders and muxponders must be considered when
cascading several cards. With TXP_MR_2.5G, TXPP_MR_2.5G, MXP_MR_2.5G, MXPP_MR_2.5G,
and TXP_MR_10E cards, several transponders can be cascaded before the cumulative jitter violates the
jitter specification. The recommended limit is 20 cards. With TXP_MR_10G cards, you can also cascade
several cards, although the recommended limit is 12 cards. With MXP_2.5G_10G and MXP_2.5G_10E

Termination Modes
cards, any number of cards can be cascaded as long as the maximum reach between any two is not
exceeded. This is because any time the signal is demultiplexed, the jitter is eliminated as a limiting
factor.
The maximum reach between one transponder and the other must be halved if a Y cable is used. For more
information on Y-cable operation, see the “10.19.1 Y-Cable Protection” section on page 10-139.
10.22 Termination Modes
Transponder and muxponder cards have various SONET and SDH termination modes that can be
configured using CTC (see the “Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards” chapter in the
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide). The termination modes are summarized in Table 10-64.
For TXP and MXP cards, adhere to the following conditions while DCC termination provisioning:
• For SDCC/RS-DCC provisioning, the card should be in the Section/RS-DCC or Line/MS-DCC
termination mode.
• For LDCC/MS-DCC provisioning, the card should be in the Line/MS-DCC termination mode.
Table 10-64 Termination Modes
Cards Termination Mode Description
All TXP, MXP, and
OTU2_XP cards,
with the exception of

Transparent Termination All the bytes of the payload pass transparently through the cards.
Section Termination The SONET transport overhead (TOH) section bytes and the SDH
regenerator section overhead (SOH) bytes are terminated. None of these
SOH bytes are passed through. They are all regenerated, including the
SONET TOH section DCC (SDCC) bytes and the SDH regenerator section
DCC (RS-DCC) bytes. In the section termination mode, the SONET TOH
line and SDH multiplex section overhead bytes are passed transparently.
Line Termination In line termination mode, the section and line overhead bytes for SONET
and the overhead bytes for the SDH multiplex and regenerator sections are
terminated. None of the overhead bytes are passed through. They are all
regenerated, including the SONET SDCC and line DCC (LDCC) bytes and
the SDH RS-DCC and multiplexer section DCC (MS-DCC) bytes.

Transparent Termination All client bytes pass transparently except the following: B1 is rebuilt, S1 is
rewritten, A1 to A2 are regenerated, and H1 to H3 are regenerated.
Section Termination The SONET TOH section bytes and the SDH regenerator section overhead
bytes are terminated. None of these section overhead bytes are passed
through. They are all regenerated, including the SONET TOH section DCC
bytes and the SDH RS-DCC bytes. In the section termination mode, the
SONET TOH line and SDH multiplex section overhead bytes are passed
transparently.

Node Reference
This chapter explains the ONS 15454 dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) node types that
are available for the ONS 15454. The DWDM node type is determined by the type of amplifier and filter
cards that are installed in an ONS 15454. The chapter also explains the DWDM automatic power control
(APC), reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing (ROADM) power equalization, span loss
verification, and automatic node setup (ANS) functions.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
Note In this chapter, “OPT-BST” refers to the OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, OPT-BST-L cards, and to the
OPT-AMP-L and OPT-AMP-17-C cards when they are provisioned in OPT-LINE (optical booster)
mode. “OPT-PRE” refers to the OPT-PRE card and to the OPT-AMP-L and OPT-AMP-17-C cards
provisioned in OPT-PRE (preamplifier) mode.

78-19285-02
Chapter 11 Node Reference
DWDM Node Configurations
configurations for mesh networks. All node configurations can be provisioned with C-band or L-band
cards except the OADM and anti-ASE nodes. These nodes require AD-xB-xx.x or AD-xC-xx.x cards,
which are C-band only. All node configurations can be single-shelf or multishelf.
Note The Cisco TransportPlanner tool creates a plan for amplifier placement and proper node equipment.
Note To support multiple optical sides in mesh DWDM networks, east and west are no longer used to reference
the left and right sides of the ONS 15454 shelf. If a network running a previous software release is
upgraded to this release, west will be mapped to A and east to B. In two-sided nodes, such as a hub or
ROADM node, Side A refers to Slots 1 through 6 and Side B refers to Slots 12 through 17. Terminal
nodes have one side labeled “A,” regardless of which slots have cards installed. For more information
about configuring the ONS 15454 in mesh DWDM networks, see the “11.6 Configuring Mesh DWDM
Networks” section on page 11-53.
11.1.1 Terminal Node
A terminal node is a single ONS 15454 node equipped with two TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards
and one of the following combinations:
• One 32MUX-O card and one 32DMX-O card
• One 32WSS card and either a 32DMX or a 32DMX-O card
• One 40-WSS-C or 40-WSS-CE card and one 40-DMX-C or 40-DMX-CE card
• One 40-MUX-C and one 40-DMX-C or 40-DMX-CE card
• One 80-WXC-C card, one 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD patch
panel, and one 15216-MD-40-EVEN, 15216-EF-40-EVEN, or 15216-MD-48-EVEN
(ONS 15216 40 or 48-channel mux/demux patch panel), and 15216-MD-ID-50 or
15216-MD-48-CM
• One 40-SMR1-C and one 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD patch
panel
• One 40-SMR2-C and one 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD patch
panel
Note Although it is recommended that you use the 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or
15216-MD-48-ODD patch panel along with the 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C cards, you can
alternatively use the 40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C cards instead of the 15216-EF-40-ODD, or
15216-MD-48-ODD patch panel.
Cards in the terminal nodes can be installed in Slots 1 through 6 or Slots 12 through 17. The side where
cards are installed is always assigned as Side A.

11.1.2 OADM Node
An OADM node is a single ONS 15454 node equipped with cards installed on both sides and at least one
AD-xC-xx.x card or one AD-xB-xx.x card and two TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards. This
configuration supports 32 channels. In an OADM node, channels can be added or dropped independently
from each direction and then passed through the reflected bands of all OADMs in the DWDM node
(called express path). They can also be passed through one OADM card to another OADM card without
using a TDM ITU-T line card (called optical pass-through) if an external patchcord is installed.
Unlike express path, an optical pass-through channel can be converted later to an add/drop channel in
an altered ring without affecting another channel. OADM amplifier placement and required card
placement is determined by the Cisco TransportPlanner tool or your site plan.
OADM nodes can be amplified or passive. In amplified OADMs, booster and preamplifier cards are
installed on bode sides of the node. Figure 11-7 shows an example of an amplified OADM node
configuration. In addition, OADM nodes can be asymmetric. Amplifiers may be installed in one side,
but not the other. Or preamplifiers may be installed in one side, and a booster in the other.

dropping can be performed at the band level and/or at the channel level (meaning individual channels
can be dropped).

11.1.3 ROADM Node
A ROADM node adds and drops wavelengths without changing the physical fiber connections. A
ROADM node is equipped with two TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards and one of the following
combinations:
• Two 32WSS cards and optionally, two 32DMX or 32DMX-O cards
• Two 40-WSS-C or 40-WSS-CE cards and optionally, two 40-DMX-C or 40-DMX-CE cards
• Two 40-SMR1-C cards and two 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD
(ONS 15216 40 or 48-channel mux/demux) patch panels
• Two 40-SMR2-C cards and two 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD
(ONS 15216 40 or 48-channel mux/demux) patch panels
• Two 80-WXC-C cards and two 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, 15216-MD-48-ODD,
15216-MD-40-EVEN, 15216-EF-40-EVEN, or 15216-MD-48-EVEN patch panels
Note Although it is recommended that you use the 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or
15216-MD-48-ODD patch panel along with the 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C cards, you can
alternatively use the 40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C cards instead of the 15216-MD-40-ODD,
15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD patch panel.
Transponders (TXPs) and muxponders (MXPs) can be installed in Slots 6 and 12 and, if amplification
is not used, in any open slot.

1 The booster on Side A receives the composite optical signal. It separates the optical service channel from the optical
payload and sends the payload to the preamplifier on Side A.
2 The preamplifier compensates for chromatic dispersion, amplifies the optical payload and sends it to the L1 80-WXC-C
card (demultiplexer).
3 Up to eight colorless ports are available on the L1 80-WXC-C card if no colored wavelength is terminated. In
Figure 11-21, two EAD ports are connected to 40-DMX-C or 40-DMX-CE cards, 15216-MD-40-ODD,
15216-EF-40-ODD, 15216-MD-48-ODD, 15216-MD-40-EVEN, 15216-EF-40-EVEN, or 15216-MD-48-EVEN units
where the colored odd and even wavelengths are dropped. The express wavelengths are sent to the L1 80-WXC-C card
(multiplexer) on Side B where the wavelengths are multiplexed with other colored or colorless wavelengths.
4 The L1-80-WXC-C card on Side B sends the composite signal to the booster on Side B.
5 The booster on Side B receives the composite optical signal, adds the optical service channel to the optical payload and
sends it to the transmission line.
6 It is possible to configure more colorless ports by cascading the 80-WXC-C cards at two levels. For example, to get 14
colorless ports connect one of the EAD ports of the L1 80-WXC-C card to another 80-WXC-C cards at level 2. There
are five colorless ports on the L1 80-WXC-C card and nine colorless ports on the L2 80-WXC-C card. To achieve an 80
channel colorless configuration, connect nine L2 80-WXC-C cards to the nine EAD ports of the L1 80-WXC-C card.11-24

Figure 11-24 shows an example of a ROADM optical signal flow from Side A to Side B using the 32WSS
or 40-WSS-C cards. The optical signal flow from Side B to Side A follows an identical path through the
Side B OSC-CSM and 32WSS or 40-WSS-C cards. In this example, OSC-CSM cards are installed, hence
OPT-BSTs are not needed.
Figure 11-24 ROADM Optical Signal Flow Example Using 32WSS or 40-WSS-C Card
Figure 11-25 shows an example of an ROADM optical signal flow from Side A to Side B using the
40-SMR1-C card. The optical signal flow from Side B to Side A follows an identical path through the
Side B booster and 40-SMR1-C card.
1 The OSC-CSM receives the optical signal. It separates the optical service channel from the optical payload and sends the
payload to the OPT-PRE module.
2 The OPT-PRE compensates for chromatic dispersion, amplifies the optical payload, and sends it to the 32WSS or
40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE.
3 The 32WSS or 40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE splits the signal into two components. The 80 percent component is sent to the
DROP-TX port and the 20 percent component is sent to the EXP-TX port.
4 The drop component goes to the 32DMX card or 40-DMX-C/40-DMX-CE card where it is demultiplexed and dropped.
5 The express wavelength aggregate signal goes to the 32WSS or 40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE on the other side where it is
demultiplexed. Channels are stopped or forwarded based upon their switch states. Forwarded wavelengths are merged
with those coming from the ADD path and sent to the OSC-CSM module.
6 The OSC-CSM combines the multiplexed payload with the OSC and sends the signal out the transmission line.

11.1.4 Hub Node
A hub node is a single ONS 15454 node equipped with two TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards and
one of the following combinations:
• Two 32MUX-O cards and two 32DMX-O or 32DMX cards
• Two 32WSS cards and two 32DMX or 32DMX-O cards
1 The booster receives the optical signal. It separates the optical service channel from the optical payload and sends the
payload to the preamplifier module within the 40-SMR1-C card.
2 The preamplifier module compensates for chromatic dispersion, amplifies the optical payload, and sends it to the 70/30
splitter within the 40-SMR1-C card.
3 The 70/30 splitter splits the signal into two components. The 70 percent component is sent to the DROP-TX port and the
30 percent component is sent to the EXP-TX port.
4 The drop component goes to the 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD card where it is
demultiplexed and dropped.
5 The express wavelength aggregate signal goes to the 40-SMR1-C card on the other side where it is demultiplexed.
Channels are stopped or forwarded based upon their switch states. Forwarded wavelengths are merged with those coming
from the ADD path and sent to the booster module.
6 The booster combines the multiplexed payload with the OSC, amplifies it, and sends the signal out the transmission line.

• Two 40-SMR2-C and two 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD
Note Although it is recommended that you use the 15216-MD-40-ODD, 15216-EF-40-ODD, or
15216-MD-48-ODD card along with the 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C cards, you can
alternatively use the 40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C cards instead of the 15216-MD-40-ODD,
15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD card.
Note The configuration for a hub node using 40-SMR1-C or 40-SMR2-C cards is identical to the
ROADM node, except that there is no patchcord connecting the two 40-SMR1-C or
40-SMR2-C cards. For more details on the ROADM node configuration, see the
“11.1.3 ROADM Node” section on page 11-10.
Note The 32WSS/40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE and 32DMX/32DMX-L/40-DMX-C/ 40-DMX-CE cards
are normally installed in ROADM nodes, but they can also be installed in hub and terminal
nodes. If the cards are installed in a hub node, the 32WSS/32WSS-L/ 40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE
express ports (EXP RX and EXP TX) are not cabled.
A dispersion compensation unit (DCU) can also be added, if necessary. Figure 11-26 shows a hub node

Figure 11-28 shows the channel flow for a hub node. Up to 32 channels from the client ports are
multiplexed and equalized onto one fiber. Then, multiplexed channels are transmitted to the OPT-BST
amplifier. The OPT-BST output is combined with an output signal from the OSCM card and transmitted
to the other side.
Received signals are divided between the OSCM card and an OPT-PRE card. Dispersion compensation
is applied to the signal received by the OPT-PRE amplifier, and it is then sent to the 32DMX-O card,
which demultiplexes and attenuates the input signal.

11.1.5 Anti-ASE Node
In a mesh ring network, the ONS 15454 requires a node configuration that prevents ASE accumulation
and lasing. An anti-ASE node can be created by configuring a hub node or an OADM node with some
modifications. No channels can travel through the express path, but they can be demultiplexed and
dropped at the channel level on one side and added and multiplexed on the other side.
The hub node is the preferred node configuration when some channels are connected in pass-through
mode. For rings that require a limited number of channels, combine AD-xB-xx.x and 4MD-xx.x cards,
or cascade AD-xC-xx.x cards. See Figure 11-8 on page 11-10.
Figure 11-29 shows an anti-ASE node that uses all wavelengths in the pass-through mode. Use
Cisco TransportPlanner to determine the best configuration for anti-ASE nodes.

11.1.6 Line Amplifier Node
A line amplifier node is a single ONS 15454 node that is used to amplify the optical signal in long spans.
The line amplifier node can be equipped with one of the following sets of cards:
• Two OPT-PRE cards, two OPT-BST cards, and two OSCM cards
• Two OPT-PRE cards and two OSC-CSM cards
• Two OPT-AMP-17-C cards and two OSCM cards
• Two OPT-AMP-C cards and two OSCM cards
Attenuators might also be required between each preamplifier and OPT-BST amplifier to match the
optical input power value and to maintain the amplifier gain tilt value.
Two OSCM cards are connected to the OPT-BST cards to multiplex the OSC signal with the pass-though
channels. If the node does not contain a booster card, OSC-CSM cards must be installed instead of
OSCM cards. Figure 11-30 shows an example of a line amplifier node configuration using OPT-BST,
OPT-PRE, and OSCM cards.

11.1.7 OSC Regeneration Node
The OSC regeneration node is added to the DWDM networks for two purposes:
• To electrically regenerate the OSC channel whenever the span links are 37 dB or longer and payload
amplification and add/drop capabilities are not present. Cisco TransportPlanner places an OSC
regeneration node in spans longer than 37 dB. The span between the OSC regeneration node and the
next DWDM network site cannot be longer than 31 dB.
• To add data communications network (DCN) capability wherever needed within the network.
OSC regeneration nodes require two OSC-CSM cards, as shown in Figure 11-31. The cards are installed
in each side of the shelf.

Figure 11-37 PSM Channel Protection Configuration
In this configuration, the COM-RX and COM-TX ports of the PSM card are connected to the TXP/MXP
trunk ports. This configuration is applicable to an n-degree MSTP node, for example, a two-degree
ROADM, an n-degree ROADM, or an OADM node. The example block diagram shows a two-degree
node with Side A and Side B as the two sides. The Side A and Side B fiber-stage block can be DWDM
cards that are used to amplify transmitted or received signal (see the “11.5.1.1 Fiber Stage” section on
page 11-45 for the list of cards). The Side A and Side B add/drop stage block can be DWDM cards that
can add and drop traffic (see the “11.5.1.2 A/D Stage” section on page 11-47 for the list of cards).
In the transmit direction, the traffic originating from a TXP/MXP trunk port is split by the PSM card on
to the W-TX and P-TX ports. The W-TX and P-TX ports are connected to the ADD-RX ports of the
add/drop stage cards in Side A and Side B respectively. The add/drop stage cards multiplex traffic on
Side A and Side B line ports that become the working and protect paths respectively.
In the receive direction, the W-RX and P-RX ports of the PSM card are connected to the DROP-TX ports
of the add/drop stage cards on Side A and Side B respectively. The add/drop stage cards demultiplex
traffic received from Side A and Side B line ports that are the working and protect paths respectively.
The PSM card selects one of the two input signals on the W-RX and P-RX ports to be transmitted to the
COM-RX port of the PSM card.
Note All traffic multiplexed or demultiplexed by the two add/drop stage cards is not protected.

11.3.2 Multiplex Section Protection
The PSM card performs multiplex section protection when connected between a
multiplexer/demultiplexer card in a terminal site. The multiplexer/demultiplexer stage can be built using
WSS and DMX or 40MUX and 40DMX cards. The terminal sites can be 50/100 Ghz band. The number
of supported channels can therefore be 32/40 or 72/80.
Figure 11-38 shows the block diagram of a PSM card in multiplex section protection configuration.
Figure 11-38 PSM Multiplex Section Protection Configuration
In the transmit direction, the traffic originating from a TXP trunk port is multiplexed by the Side A
multiplexer. The PSM card splits traffic on to the W-TX and P-TX ports, which are independently
amplified by two separated booster amplifiers.
In the receive direction, the signal on the line ports is preamplified by two separate preamplifiers and
the PSM card selects one of the two input signals on the W-RX and P-RX ports to be transmitted to the
COM-RX port of the PSM card. The received signal is then demultiplexed to a TXP card.
The presence of a booster amplifier is not mandatory. However, if a DCN extension is used, the W-TX
and P-TX ports of the PSM card can be connected directly to the line. The presence of a preamplifier is
also not mandatory.
Note The PSM card cannot be used with Raman amplification in a line protection or section protection
configuration.
11.3.3 Line Protection
In a line protection configuration, the working and protect ports of the PSM card are connected directly
to the external line. This configuration is applicable to any MSTP node that is configured as a terminal
site. The multiplexer/demultiplexer stage can be built using WSS and DMX, 40MUX and 40DMX,

Figure 11-39 shows the block diagram of a PSM card in line protection configuration.
Figure 11-39 PSM Line Protection Configuration
In the transmit direction, the traffic originating from a transponder trunk port is multiplexed by the Side
A multiplexer and amplified by a booster amplifier. The Line-TX port of the amplifier is connected to
the COM-RX port of the PSM card. The PSM card splits traffic received on the COM-RX port on to the
W-TX and P-TX ports, which form the working and protect paths.
In the receive direction, the PSM card selects one of the two input signals on the W-RX and P-RX ports
to be transmitted to the COM-RX port of the PSM card. The received signal is then preamplified and
demultiplexed to the TXP card.
The presence of a booster amplifier is not mandatory. However, if a DCN extension is used, the
COM-RX port of the PSM card is connected to the multiplex section. The presence of a preamplifier is
also not mandatory; the COM-TX port of the PSM card can be connected to the demultiplexer.
Note The PSM card cannot be used with Raman amplification in a line protection or section protection
configuration.
11.3.4 Standalone
In a standalone configuration, the PSM card can be equipped in any slot and supports all node
configurations. In this configuration, the PSM card provides only basic functionality, such as, protection
against a fiber cut, optical safety, and automatic laser shutdown (ALS). It does not provide other
functionalities such as, automatic power control (APC), automatic node setup (ANS), network and node
alarm correlation, circuit management, and so on.

Multishelf Node
11.4 Multishelf Node
In a multishelf configuration, the ONS 15454-M6 node or the ONS 15454-DWDM node with TCC3 card
as the node controller can manage up to 29 subtending shelves as a single entity. The subtending shelves
can be 15454-M6 or 15454-DWDM.
The node controller is the main shelf with the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE cards
running the multishelf functions. Each subtending shelf must be equipped with
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE cards, which run the shelf functions. For internal data
exchange between the node controller shelf and subtending shelves, the node controller shelf must be
equipped with redundant MS-ISC-100T cards or, as an alternative, the Catalyst 2950 switch. We
recommend that you use the MS-ISC-100T cards. If using the Catalyst 2950, it is installed on one of the
multishelf racks. All subtending shelves must be located in the same site at a maximum distance of
100 meters or 328 feet from the Ethernet switches used to support the communication LAN.
Figure 11-40 shows an example of a multishelf node configuration.

Chapter 11 Node Reference
Multishelf Node
A multishelf node has a single public IP address for all client interfaces (Cisco Transport Controller
[CTC], Transaction Language One [TL1], Simple Network Management Protocol [SNMP], and HTTP);
a client can only connect to the node controller shelf, not to the subtending shelves. The user interface
and subtending shelves are connected to a patch panel using straight-through (CAT-5) LAN cables.
The node controller shelf has the following functions:
• IP packet routing and network topology discovery at the node controller level.
• Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) centralized on the node controller shelf.
The subtending shelves have the following functions:
• Overhead circuits are not routed within a multishelf node but are managed at the subtending
controller shelf only. To use overhead bytes, the AIC-I must be installed on the subtending shelf
where it is terminated.
• Each subtending shelf will act as a single shelf node that can be used as a timing source line,
TCC/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC clock, or building integrated timing supply (BITS) source line.
11.4.1 Multishelf Node Layout
Multishelf configurations are configured by Cisco TransportPlanner and are automatically discovered
by the CTC software. In a typical multishelf installation, all optical units are equipped on the node
controller shelf and TXP/MXP cards are equipped in the aggregated subtended shelves. In addition, all
empty slots in the node controller shelf can be equipped with TXP/MXP cards. In a DWDM mesh
network, up to eight optical sides can be configured with client and optical cards installed in different
shelves to support mesh and ring-protected signal output.
Note When a DWDM ring or network has to be managed through a Telcordia operations support system
(OSS), every node in the network must be set up as multi-shelf. OLA sites and nodes with one shelf must
be set up as "multi-shelf stand-alone" to avoid the use of LAN switches.
11.4.2 DCC/GCC/OSC Terminations
A multishelf node provides the same communication channels as a single-shelf node:
• OSC links terminate on OSCM/OSC-CSM cards. Two links are required between each ONS 15454
node. An OSC link between two nodes cannot be substituted by an equivalent generic
communications channel/data communications channel (GCC/DCC) link terminated on the same
pair of nodes. OSC links are mandatory and they can be used to connect a node to a gateway network
element (GNE).
• GCC/DCC links terminate on TXP/MXP cards.
The maximum number of DCC/GCC/OSC terminations that are supported in a multishelf node is 48.
Note Optical Service Channel can be created on the OC3 port of the TNC card.11-44

Optical Sides
11.5 Optical Sides
From a topological point of view, all DWDM units equipped in an MSTP node belongs to a side. A side
can be identified by a letter (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H), or by the ports (called as side line ports, see
11.5.2 Side Line Ports, page 11-47) that are physically connected to the spans. An MSTP node can be
connected to a maximum of 8 different spans. Each side identifies one of the spans the MSTP node is
connected to.
Note Side A and Side B replace “west” and “east” when referring to the two sides of the ONS 15454 shelf.
Side A refers to Slots 1 through 6 (formerly “west”), and Side B refers to Slots 12 through 17 (formerly
“east”). The line direction port parameter, East-to-West and West-to-East, has been removed.
Sides are viewed and managed from the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Optical Sides tab in CTC.
11.5.1 Optical Side Stages
All MSTP nodes can be modelled according to Figure 11-41.
Figure 11-41 Interconnecting Sides Conceptual View
According to Figure 11-41, each MSTP node side includes DWDM units that can be conceptually
divided into three stages.
• Fiber stage—The set of DWDM cards with ports that directly or indirectly face the span.
• A/D stage—The add/drop stage.

• TXP/MXP stage—The virtual grouping of all TXP or MXP cards with signals multiplexed or
demultiplexed to and from the physical fiber stage.
11.5.1.1 Fiber Stage
The fiber stage includes DWDM cards that are used to amplify transmitted or received signals and cards
that are used to add optical supervision channels. The fiber stage cards are:
• Booster amplifier cards that directly connect to the span, such as:
– OPT-BST
– OPT-BST-E
– OPT-BST-L
– OPT-AMP-C, when provisioned in OPT-LINE (booster amplifier) mode
– OPT-AMP-L, when provisioned in OPT-LINE (booster amplifier) mode
– OPT-AMP-17-C, when provisioned in OPT-LINE (booster amplifier) mode
• Preamplifier cards, such as:
– OPT-PRE
– OPT-AMP-C, when provisioned in OPT-PRE (preamplifier) mode
– OPT-AMP-L, when provisioned in OPT-PRE (preamplifier) mode
– OPT-AMP-17-C, when provisioned in OPT-PRE (preamplifier) mode
• OSC cards, such as:
– OSCM
– OSC-CSM
• OPT-RAMP-C card
Table 11-1 shows the commonly deployed fiber stage layouts supported by DWDM mesh nodes. In the
table, OPT-BST includes the OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, and OPT-BST-L cards. OPT-AMP includes the
OPT-AMP-L and OPT-AMP-17-C cards configured in either OPT-PRE or OPT-LINE mode.
Note In the table, L and C suffix is not reported because C-band and L-band amplifiers cannot be mixed in
the same layout.11-46

11.5.1.2 A/D Stage
The A/D stage includes DWDM cards that can add and drop traffic. The A/D stage is divided into three
node types:
• Mesh nodes—ONS 15454 nodes configured in multishelf mode can connect to eight different sides.
For more detail on mesh node, see 11.6 Configuring Mesh DWDM Networks, page 11-53.
• Legacy—Half of a ROADM node or an OADM node with cascaded AD-xB-xx-x or AD-xC-xx.x
cards
• Non-A/D—A line node or a side that does not have A/D capability is included in the A/D stage
Stages are built by active cards and patchcords. However, the interconnecting sides are completed by the
mesh patch panels (four-degree patch panel or eight-degree patch panel) in mesh nodes, or by patchcords
connected to EXP-RX/EXP-TX ports in legacy nodes.
11.5.2 Side Line Ports
Side line ports are ports that are physically connected to the spans. Side line ports can be:
• All ports terminating the fiber stage and physically labeled as LINE, such as ports on the following
cards:
– Booster amplifier (OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, or OPT-BST-L cards, and the OPT-AMP-C,
OPT-AMP-L, or OPT-AMP-17-C cards when provisioned in OPT-LINE mode)
– OSC-CSM
– OPT-RAMP-C
• All ports that can be physically connected to the external span using DCN terminations, such as:
– Booster amplifier LINE-RX and LINE-TX ports
– OSC-CSM LINE-RX and LINE-TX ports
– 40-WXC-C COM-RX and COM-TX ports
– MMU EXP-A-RX and EXP-A-TX ports
• All ports that can be physically connected to the external span using DCN terminations in a line
node, such as:
E OPT-AMP (OPT-BST mode) • OPT-AMP OSC ports connected to OSCM OSC ports or
OSC-CSM LINE ports
• OPT-AMP LINE ports connected to the span
• OPT-AMP COM ports connected to the next stage (for
example, a 40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE COM port in a ROADM
node)
F OSC-CSM • OSC-CSM LINE ports connected to the span
• OSC-CSM COM ports connected to the next stage (for

11.5.3 Optical Side Configurations
You can use the following Side IDs depending on the type of node layout:
• In legacy nodes (that is, a node with no provisioned or installed 40-WXC-C cards), the permissible
Side IDs are only A and B.
• In four-degree mesh nodes with four or less 40-WXC-C cards installed, the permissible Side IDs are
A, B, C, and D.
• In eight-degree mesh nodes with eight or less 40-WXC-C cards installed, the allowed Side IDs are
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
The system automatically assigns Side IDs when you import the CTP XML configuration file into CTC.
You can create a side manually using CTC or TL1 if the following conditions are met:
• You use a permissible side identifier, A through H.
• The shelf contains a TX and an RX side line port (see the “11.5.2 Side Line Ports” section on
page 11-47).
• The side line ports are not connected to an internal patchcord.
Note We do not recommend that you manually create or modify ONS 15454 optical sides.
The following tables show examples of how the system automatically assigns Side IDs for common
DWDM layouts.
Table 11-2 shows a standard ROADM shelf with Sides A and B provisioned. The shelf is connected to
seven shelves containing TXP, MXP, ADM-10G, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards.11-49

Configuring Mesh DWDM Networks
11.6 Configuring Mesh DWDM Networks
ONS 15454 shelves can be configured in mesh DWDM networks using the 40-WXC-C or 80-WXC-C
wavelength cross-connect cards and four-degree patch panel or eight-degree patch panels. Mesh DWDM
networks can also be configured using the 40-SMR2-C cards and the four-degree patch panel.
ONS 15454 DWDM mesh configurations can be up to four degrees (four optical directions) when the
four-degree patch panel is installed, and up to eight degrees (eight optical directions) when the
eight-degree patch panel is installed. Two mesh node types are available, the line termination mesh node
and the cross-connect (XC) termination mesh node.
Note Mesh nodes using the 40-WXC-C or 80-WXC-C card requires multishelf management.
11.6.1 Line Termination Mesh Node Using 40-WXC-C Cards
The line termination mesh node is installed in native Software Release 9.2 mesh networks. Line
termination mesh nodes can support between one and eight line terminations. Each line direction
requires the following cards: 40-WXC-C, 40-MUX-C, 40-DMX-C or 40-DMX-CE, a preamplifier and
a booster. Within this configuration, the following substitutions can be used:

The mesh patch panels interconnect 40-WXC-C cards to create mesh networks, including four-degree
and eight-degree mesh topologies. In addition, shelves with 40-WXC-C cards can be configured with
mesh patch panels to create multiring, MMU-based mesh nodes. 40-WXC-C cards can be installed in
ROADM nodes with MMU cards to upgrade a two-degree MMU-based ROADM node into four-degree
or eight-degree mesh nodes.
Figure 11-61 shows the block diagram of the four-degree 15454-PP-4-SMR patch panel connected to
one 40-SMR2-C card. The 40-SMR2-C cards connect to the 15454-PP-4-SMR patch panel at the EXP
RX ports.
Figure 11-61 15454-PP-4-SMR Patch Panel Block Diagram
You can use the 15454-PP-4-SMR patch panel to connect upto four 40-SMR2-C cards in a four-degree
mesh node. The optical splitters inside the patch panel forward the output signal (EXP-TX port) of the
40-SMR2-C card on each side of the mesh node to the input port of the 40-SMR2-C cards on the other
three sides of the mesh node. The 4x1 WXC block inside the 40-SMR2-C card selects which wavelength
from which side must be propagated at the output of each side. Figure 11-60 shows the signal flow at the
four-degree 15454-PP-4-SMR patch panel. 40-SMR2-C cards connect to the four-degree patch panel at
the EXP-TX and EXP-RX ports.

11.6.6 Using a Mesh Node With Omni-Directional Add/Drop Section
Normally, multidegree mesh node use four or eight 40-WXC-C cards and a four-degree or eight-degree
patch panel. Each of the 40-WXC-C cards uses a 40-MUX-C card to add wavelengths going to the span
and a 40-DMX-C card to drop wavelengths coming in from the span. The 40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C
cards are connected to only one of the node directions. These cards can add/drop traffic only to/from the
side that is associated to the 40-WXC-C card. The omni-directional configuration allows you to install
a local multiplexer/demultiplexer that can add/drop traffic to/from any of the node directions.
Figure 11-63 shows an example of how to set up a omni-directional add/drop configuration.
By setting up a NE as shown in the figure, it is possible to connect the transmit ports of TXP or MXP
cards to a 40-MUX-C card and then connect the output of the 40-MUX-C card to an OPT-BST card. The
OPT-BST card then connects to a preferred 40-WXC-C card in the four-degree or eight-degree ROADM
node (40-WXC-C connected to port 4 of PP-MESH-4, as shown in the figure).
The patch panel splits the traffic coming from the OPT-BST card in all the node directions, through the
software configuration. The wavelengths entering the 40-WXC-C cards (ports 1, 2, and 3) can be
selectively sent out in any desired outbound direction. In the inbound direction, the patch panel on the
preferred 40-WXC-C card, splits any of the wavelengths entering the NE through the 40-WXC-C cards
(ports 1, 2, and 3). Through the software configuration, the wavelength can be passed to an OPT-PRE
card or stopped. This whole configuration can be managed using a single IP address
An example of using a mesh node for omni-directional add/drop section is shown in Figure 11-63.

11.7 DWDM Node Cabling
DWDM node cabling is specified by the Cisco TransportPlanner Internal Connections table. The
following sections provide examples of the cabling that you will typically install for common DWDM
node types.
Note The cabling illustrations shown in the following sections are examples. Always install fiber-optic cables
based on the Cisco TransportPlanner Internal Connections table for your site.
11.7.1 OSC Link Termination Fiber-Optic Cabling
OSC link termination cabling include the following characteristics:
• The OPT-BST and OSC-CSM cards are the only cards that directly interface with the line (span)
fiber.
• The OSCM card only carries optical service channels, not DWDM channels.
• The OSCM and OSC-CSM cards cannot both be installed on the same side of the shelf (Side B or
Side A). You can have different cards on each side, for example an OSCM card on Side A and an
OSC-CSM card on Side B.11-75
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 11 Node Reference
DWDM Node Cabling
• When an OPT-BST card and an OSC-CSM card are both used on the same side of the node, the
OPT-BST card combines the supervision channel with the DWDM channels and the OSC-CSM card
acts as an OSCM card; it does not carry DWDM traffic.
• If an OPT-BST and an OSCM card are installed on Side B, the Side B OPT-BST OSC RX port is
connected to the Side B OSCM TX port, and the Side B OPT-BST OSC TX port is connected to the
Side B OSCM RX port.
• If an OPT-BST and an OSC-CSM card are installed on Side B, the Side B OPT-BST OSC RX port
is connected to the Side B OSC-CSM LINE TX port, and the Side B OPT-BST OSC TX port is
connected to the Side B OSC-CSM LINE RX port.
• If an OPT-BST and an OSCM card are installed on Side A, the Side A OPT-BST OSC TX port is
connected to the Side A OSCM RX port, and the Side A OPT-BST OSC RX port is connected to the
Side A OSCM TX port.
• If an OPT-BST and an OSC-CSM card are installed on Side A, the Side A OPT-BST OSC TX port
is connected to the Side A OSC-CSM LINE RX port, and the Side A OPT-BST OSC RX port is
connected to the Side A OSC-CSM LINE TX port.

11.7.3 Terminal Node Fiber-Optic Cabling
The following rules generally apply to terminal node cabling:
• A terminal site has only one side (as compared to a hub node, which has two sides). The terminal
side can be either Side B or Side A.
• The terminal side OPT-BST or OSC-CSM card COM TX port is connected to the terminal side
OPT-PRE COM RX port or the 32DMX-O/40-DMX-C/40-DMX-CE COM RX port.
• The terminal side OPT-PRE COM TX port is connected to the terminal side
32DMX-O/40-DMX-C/40-DMX-CE COM RX port.
• The terminal side 32MUX-O/40-MUX-C COM TX port is connected to the terminal side OPT-BST
or OSC-CSM COM RX port.
11.7.4 Line Amplifier Node Fiber-Optic Cabling
The following rules generally apply to line amplifier node cabling:
• The line amplifier node layout allows all combinations of OPT-PRE and OPT-BST cards and allows
you to use asymmetrical card choices in Side A-to-Side B and Side B-to-Side A configurations. For
a given line direction, you can configure the four following possibilities:
– Only preamplification (OPT-PRE)
– Only booster amplification (OPT-BST)
– Both preamplification and booster amplification (where a line amplifier node has amplification
in at least one direction)
– Neither preamplification nor booster amplification
• If a Side A OPT-PRE card is installed:
– The Side A OSC-CSM or OPT-BST COM TX is connected to the Side A OPT-PRE COM RX
port.
– The Side A OPT-PRE COM TX port is connected to the Side B OSC-CSM or OPT-BST COM
RX port.
• If a Side A OPT-PRE card is not installed, the Side A OSC-CSM or OPT-BST COM TX port is
connected to the Side B OSC-CSM or OPT-BST COM RX port.
• If a Side B OPT-PRE card is installed:
– The Side B OSC-CSM or OPT-BST COM TX port is connected to the Side B OPT-PRE COM
RX port.

11.7.6 Amplified or Passive OADM Node Fiber-Optic Cabling
The two sides of the OADM node do not need to be symmetrical. On each side, Cisco TransportPlanner
can create one of the following four configurations:
• OPT-BST and OPT-PRE
• OSC-CSM and OPT-PRE
• Only OSC-CSM
• Only OPT-BST
Note Amplified OADM nodes contain OPT-PRE cards and/or OPT-BST cards. Passive OADM nodes do not.
Both contain add/drop channel or band cards.
The following rules generally apply for OADM node express path cabled connections:
• TX ports should only be connected to RX ports.
• EXP ports are connected only to COM ports in between AD-xC-xx.x or AD-xB-xx.x cards that all
belong to Side B (that is, they are daisy-chained).
• EXP ports are connected only to COM ports in between AD-xC-xx.x or AD-xB-xx.x cards that all
belong to Side A (that is, they are daisy-chained).
• The EXP port of the last AD-xC-xx.x or AD-xB-xx.x card on Side A is connected to the EXP port
of the first AD-xC-xx.x or AD-xB-xx.x card on Side B.
• The OPT-BST COM RX port is connected to the nearest (in slot position) AD-xC-xx.x or
AD-xB-xx.x COM TX port.
• The OPT-PRE COM TX port is connected to the nearest (in slot position) AD-xC-xx.x or
AD-xB-xx.x COM RX port.
• If OADM cards are located in adjacent slots, the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card assumes that
they are connected in a daisy-chain between the EXP ports and COM ports as noted previously.
• The first Side A AD-xC-xx.x or AD-xB-xx.x card COM RX port is connected to the Side A
OPT-PRE or OSC-CSM COM TX port.
• The first Side A AD-xC-xx.x or AD-xB-xx.x card COM TX port is connected to the Side A
OPT-BST or OSC-CSM COM RX port.
• The first Side B AD-xC-xx.x or AD-xB-xx.x card COM RX port is connected to the Side B
OPT-PRE or OSC-CSM COM TX port.

• The first Side B AD-xC-xx.x or AD-xB-xx.x card COM TX port is connected to the Side B
OPT-BST or OSC-CSM RX port.
• If a Side A OPT-PRE is present, the Side A OPT-BST or OSC-CSM COM TX port is connected to
the Side A OPT-PRE COM RX port.
• If a Side B OPT-PRE is present, the Side B OPT-BST or OSC-CSM COM TX port is connected to
the Side B OPT-PRE COM RX port.
The following rules generally apply for OADM node add/drop path cabled connections:
• AD-xB-xx.x add/drop (RX or TX) ports are only connected to the following ports:
– 4MD-xx.x COM TX or 4MD-xx.x COM RX ports
– Another AD-xB-xx.x add/drop port (a pass-through configuration)
• An AD-xB-xx.x add/drop band port is only connected to a 4MD-xx.x card belonging to the same
band.
• For each specific AD-xB-xx.x card, the add and drop ports for that band card are connected to the
COM TX and COM RX ports of the same 4MD-xx.x card.
• The AD-xB-xx.x and 4MD-xx.x cards are located in the same side (the connected ports all have the
same line direction).
The following rules generally apply for OADM node pass-through path cabled connections:
• Pass-through connections are only established between add and drop ports on the same band or

Automatic Node Setup
11.8 Automatic Node Setup
Automatic node setup (ANS) is a TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC function that adjusts values of the
variable optical attenuators (VOAs) on the DWDM channel paths to equalize the per channel power at
the amplifier input. This power equalization means that at launch, all channels have the same amplifier
power, independent of the input signal on the client interface and independent of the path crossed by the
signal inside the node. This equalization is needed for two reasons:
• Every path introduces a different penalty on the signal that crosses it.
• Client interfaces add their signal to the ONS 15454 DWDM ring with different power levels.
To support ANS, integrated VOAs and photodiodes are provided in the following cards:
• AD-xB-xx.x card express and drop paths
• AD-xC-xx.x card express and add paths
• 4MD-xx.x card add paths
• 32MUX-O card add paths
• 32WSS/40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE/40-WXC-C/80-WXC-C add, drop, and pass through paths
• 32DMX-O card drop paths
• 32DMX, 40-DMX-C, 40-DMX-CE card input port
• 40-MUX-C card output port
• 40-SMR1-C/40-SMR2-C add, drop, and pass through ports
• PSM card input and output ports (both working and protect path)
Optical power is equalized by regulating the VOAs. Based on the expected per channel power, ANS
automatically calculates the VOA values by:
• Reconstructing the different channel paths.
• Retrieving the path insertion loss (stored in each DWDM transmission element).
VOAs operate in one of three working modes:
• Automatic VOA Shutdown—In this mode, the VOA is set at maximum attenuation value. Automatic
VOA shutdown mode is set when the channel is not provisioned to ensure system reliability in the
event that power is accidentally inserted.
• Constant Attenuation Value—In this mode, the VOA is regulated to a constant attenuation
independent from the value of the input signal. Constant attenuation value mode is set on VOAs
associated to aggregated paths.

78-19285-02
Chapter 11 Node Reference
Automatic Node Setup
• Constant Power Value—In this mode, the VOA values are automatically regulated to keep a
constant output power when changes occur to the input power signal. This working condition is set
on VOAs associated to a single channel path.
ANS calculates the following VOA provisioning parameters:
• Target attenuation
• Target power
Optical patchcords are passive devices that are modeled by the two termination points, each with an
assigned slot and port. If user-provisioned optical patchcords exist, ANS checks if the new connection
is feasible according to internal connection rules. If the user connection violates one of the rules, ANS
returns a denied message. ANS requires the expected wavelength to be provisioned. When provisioning
the expected wavelength, the following rules apply:
• The card family generically characterizes the card name, and not the particular wavelengths
supported (for example, AD-2C-xx.x for all two-channel OADMs).
• At the provisioning layer, you can provision a generic card for a specific slot using CTC or TL1.
• Wavelength assignment is done at the port level.
• An equipment mismatch alarm is raised when a mismatch between the identified and provisioned
value occurs. The default value for the provisioned attribute is AUTO.
ONS 15454 ANS parameters set the values required for the node to operate successfully. Cisco
TransportPlanner calculates the ANS parameters based on the requirements for a planned network. Cisco
TransportPlanner exports the parameters to an ASCII, NE update file. When the NE update file is
imported in CTC, the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Provisioning tab is populated with the ANS
parameters to provision the node for the network. These ANS parameters can be modified. All the ANS
parameters are mapped to the physical ports of the cards. ANS parameters can also be manually added
or deleted in the Provisioning tab. The ranges for the values of the ANS parameters is shown in
Table 11-11. For more information on how to add an ANS parameter, refer to the “Turn Up a Node”
chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Note The Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Provisioning tab in CTC is empty if the NE update file is not imported.
Note It is recommended that you use the Cisco TransportPlanner NE Update file to provision the ANS
parameters instead of manually adding all the parameters in CTC. ANS provisioning parameters must
be manually changed by Cisco qualified personnel only. Setting incorrect ANS provisioning (either as
preamplifier or booster input power thresholds) may impact traffic.

• Last Change—Displays the date and time when the parameter was last modified.
11.8.1 Raman Setup and Tuning
Raman amplification occurs in the optical fiber and the consequent Raman gain depends on the
characteristics of the span (attenuator presence, fiber type, junctions, etc.). As two Raman pumps at two
different wavelengths are used to stimulate the Raman effect, not only is the total signal power 11-94
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 11 Node Reference
Automatic Node Setup
calculation significant, but the right mix of power to ensure gain flatness is crucial. These setpoints of
the total Raman power and Raman ratio can be configured on the OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE card
in three ways:
• Raman installation wizard
• CTP XML file
• CTC/TL1 interface
For information on how to configure the setpoints on the OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE card, see
the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Raman amplification on OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE cards depends on the optical fiber installed.
Therefore, Raman total power and Raman ratio values calculated using the Raman installation wizard
via CTC is more accurate than the values provisioned by loading the CTP XML file. For this reason, the
value provisioned using the wizard cannot be overridden by the CTP XML file. However, the values
provisioned using the wizard or the CTP XML file can be overriden by manually provisioning the
parameters.
When the Raman installation is completed, a report of the status of Raman configuration on a node in
the OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE card can be viewed in the Maintenance > Installation tab when
you are in card view.
The Installation tab displays the following fields:
• User—Name of user who configured the Raman pump.
• Date—Date when the Raman pump was configured.
• Status
– Raman Not Tuned—The OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE card was provisioned but ANS was
not launched.
– Tuned by ANS—ANS was run successfully and the basic ANS parameters were applied.
– Tuned by Wizard—The Raman installation wizard was run successfully without errors.
– Tuned by User Acceptance—The Raman installation wizard was completed with errors and the
user accepted the values that the wizard calculated.
– Raman is Tuning—The Raman installation wizard is running.
• S1Low (dBm)—See Table 11-12.
• S1High (dBm)—See Table 11-12.
• S2Low (dBm)—See Table 11-12.
• S2High (dBm)—See Table 11-12.
• Power (mW)—Total Raman power setpoints.
• Ratio—Raman pump ratio setpoint.
• Gain—Expected Raman gain that the wizard calculated.
• Actual Tilt—Expected Raman tilt that the wizard calculated.
• Fiber Cut Recovery—Status of the fiber cut restoration.
– Executed—The restore procedure was completed successfully.
– Pending—The restore procedure is not complete.
– Failed—The system failed to execute the procedure.
• Fiber Cut Date—Date when the fiber cut occured.11-95

The Raman pump is equipped with two different Raman pumps transmitting powers (P1 and P2) at two
different wavelengths 1 and 2. During installation, the two pumps alternatively turn ON and OFF at
two different power values. 1 and 2 signals are used as probes at the end of spans to measure Raman
gain efficiency of the two Raman pumps separately.
The example in Figure 11-72 shows the Raman gain on an OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE card in
Node B that was measured by setting the wavelength and power measurements as follows:
1=1530.33 nm signal probe at Node A
2=1560.61 nm signal probe at Node A
P1 = 1425 nm power at Node B
P2 = 1452 nm power at Node B
Plow = 100 mW
Phigh = 280 mW
Pmin = 8 mW
Pmax = 450 mW

The S1low, S1high, S2low, and S2low values in the Maintenance > Installation tab are based on the
power values read on the LINE-RX port of Node B.

The functional view has two main panes. The upper pane contains a tree view of the shelves and a
graphical view of the shelf equipment. The lower pane describes alarms and circuits in a tabular format.
The upper pane in Figure 11-73 is divided into a left pane and a right pane. The left pane shows a tree
structure view of the shelf or shelves in the MSTP system. You can expand the tree view of a shelf to
show the slot usage in that shelf. The right pane is a graphical view of the sides in the shelf. In the case
of Figure 11-73, there are eight sides (A through H). Side A is located as shown in the figure. All of the
cards in each side are grouped together.

The green arrows in the diagram represent the DWDM optical path within the selected side. The optical
path in this instance is summarized as follows:
1. The light enters the OPT-BST card LINE-RX port from the optical span.
2. The path continues out of the OPT-BST card COM-TX port to the COM-RX port of the OPT-PRE
card.
3. The OPT-PRE card sends the optical signal out of its COM-TX port to the 40-WXC COM-RX input
port.
4. The 40-WXC card sends the signal to be locally dropped out of its DROP-TX port to the
40-DMX/40-DMX-CE card COM-RX port.
5. The 40-DMX/40-DMX-CE card sends the dropped signal out on one of its multifiber push on
(MPO) connectors to the block labeled MPO. When you expand the MPO block (double-click it or
right-click it and select Down), you will see a muxponder (MUX) card inside the MPO block. One
of the eight optical fibers in the MPO cable is connected to the MUX trunk port.
6. The optical signal from the trunk port of the MXP card inside the MPO block enters the 40-MUX
card at one of its five MPO connectors.
7. The 40-MUX card sends the optical signal out of its COM-TX port to the ADD-RX port of the
40-WXC card.
8. The added signal from the MXP gets sent out on the COM-TX port of the 40-WXC card to the
COM-RX port of the OPT-BST card.
9. Finally, the OPT-BST card sends the optical signal out onto the span from its LINE-TX port.
11.9.2.2 Displaying Card Information
In the functional view graphical pane, you can double-click a card to bring up the usual CTC card view.
You can also move the mouse over a card to display information about the card. For example, when the
mouse is placed over the OPT-BST card in Side A, the tooltip text displays sh1/s1 (OPT-BST),
indicating that the OPT-BST card for Side A is located in Shelf 1, Slot 1. See Figure 11-75.11-100

Within the side display, an alarm box is shown that gives the alarm count for the Critical, Major, and
Minor alarms that affect that side. This alarm summary is only for the side, and is different from the
alarms under the Alarms tab, where all of the alarms for the system are summarized. If an alarm under
the Alarms tab appears that has to do with Side A, for example, only the appropriate alarm count in the
Alarm box for Side A is incremented. The alarm counts in the Alarm boxes for the other nodes (B
through H) are not incremented. In the graphical view of a side, the card icon or port icon changes color
to reflect the severity of an alarm associated with the card (red, orange, or yellow). The color of the MPO
block reflects the color of highest alarm severity for the elements in the MPO block.
11.9.2.7 Transponder and Muxponder Information
All of the TXP and MXP cards connected with patchcords are grouped together under the MPO icon. In
the node shown in Figure 11-73, there is an MXP card in Side A that is connected to the 40-MUX card
and to the 40-DMX/40-DMX-CE card. The MXP card is connected through the 40-MUX card to the add
port on the 40-WXC card and it is also connected through the 40-DMX/40-DMX-CE card to the drop
port on the 40-WXC card. To view the connections to the MXP card from the 40-MUX card,
double-click the MPO icon. Figure 11-79 shows the MPO icon before double-clicking it and
Figure 11-80 shows the result after double-clicking it.
Note In the case of a protected TXP (TXPP) or MXP (MXPP) card, the card icon has a label indicating the

Non-DWDM (TDM) Networks
11.11 Non-DWDM (TDM) Networks
Non-DWDM (TDM) Networks take synchronous and asynchronous signals and multiplexes them to a
single higher bit rate for transmission at a single wavelength over fiber. When the node is configured as
a Non-DWDM Network, the supported MSTP cards — amplifiers, transponders, and muxponders, are
used in the standalone mode. MSTP applications like Circuit Provisioning, NLAC and APC are not
supported in amplified TDM networks. For more information on how to configure a node as a
Non-DWDM network, see the “NTP-G320 Configure the Node as a Non-DWDM Network” section in
“Turn Up a Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
When the node is configured as a Not-DWDM network, all the amplifiers are configured by default with
the following values:
• Working mode = Control Gain
• Channel Power Ref. = +1dBm.
Booster(LINE) amplifiers enable optical safety when used in Non-DWDM. ALS configuration is set to
“Auto Restart” by default. A manual restart request is therefore needed to turn up the bidirectional link,
in addition with an appropriated cabling (bi-directional) of LINE TX/RX ports.
In NOT-DWDM mode, you must configure significant optical parameters and thresholds before
launching the ANS application. For information on how to configure the amplifier, see the “DLP-G693
Configure the Amplifier” section in “Turn Up a Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Procedure Guide. For information on how to configure the PSM behavior, see the “DLP-G694
Configure the PSM” section in “Turn Up a Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure
Guide.
When the ANS application is launched, amplifier ports move into IS state and Gain Setpoint is
automatically calculated by the card, after initial APR cycle. Gain Setpoint must be equal to MAX [Min
Gain Setpoint of the card ; (Power Ref-Pinput)]; where Pinput is the optical power value at the ingress
port (COM-RX) of the amplification stage.11-112

Network Applications
12.1 Network Applications
Cisco ONS 15454 nodes can be provisioned for metro core DWDM network applications. Metro core
networks often include multiple spans and amplifiers, so the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is the
limiting factor for channel performance.
Within DWDM networks, the ONS 15454 uses a communications protocol, called Node Services
Protocol (NSP), to communicate with other nodes. NSP automatically updates nodes whenever a change
in the network occurs. Each ONS 15454 DWDM node can:
• Identify other ONS 15454 DWDM nodes in the network.
• Identify the different types of DWDM networks.
• Identify when the DWDM network is complete and when it is incomplete.
12.2 Network Topologies
The ONS 15454 DWDM network topologies include ring networks, linear networks, mesh networks,
interconnected rings and spurs.
12.2.1 Ring Networks
Ring networks support hubbed, multi-hubbed, any-to-any, and mesh traffic topologies.
12.2.1.1 Hubbed Traffic Topology
In the hubbed traffic topology (Figure 12-1), a hub node terminates all the DWDM channels. A channel
can be provisioned to support protected traffic between the hub node and any node in the ring. Both
working and protected traffic use the same wavelength on both sides of the ring. Protected traffic can
also be provisioned between any pair of optical add/drop multiplexing (OADM) nodes, except that either
the working or the protected path must be regenerated in the hub node.
Protected traffic saturates a channel in a hubbed topology, that is, no channel reuse is possible. However,
the same channel can be reused in different sections of the ring by provisioning unprotected multihop
traffic. From a transmission point of view, this network topology is similar to two bidirectional
point-to-point links with OADM nodes.
For more information about hub nodes, see the “11.1.4 Hub Node” section on page 11-27.12-3

Figure 12-1 Hubbed Traffic Topology
12.2.1.2 Multihubbed Traffic Topology
A multihubbed traffic topology (Figure 12-2) is based on the hubbed traffic topology, except that two or
more hub nodes are added. Protected traffic can only be established between the two hub nodes.
Protected traffic can be provisioned between a hub node and any OADM node only if the allocated
wavelength channel is regenerated through the other hub node. Multihop traffic can be provisioned on
this ring. From a transmission point of view, this network topology is similar to two or more
point-to-point links with OADM nodes.

12.2.1.3 Any-to-Any Traffic Topology
The any-to-any traffic topology (Figure 12-3) contains only reconfigurable OADM (ROADM) nodes
(with or without optical service channel [OSC] regeneration) or optical amplifier nodes. This topology

12.2.1.4 Meshed Traffic Topology
The meshed traffic topology (Figure 12-4) does not use hubbed nodes; only amplified and passive
OADM nodes are present. Protected traffic can be provisioned between any two nodes; however, the
selected channel cannot be reused in the ring. Unprotected multihop traffic can be provisioned in the
ring. A meshed ring must be designed to prevent amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) lasing. This is
done by configuring a particular node as an anti-ASE node. An anti-ASE node can be created in two
ways:
• Equip an OADM node with 32MUX-O cards and 32DMX-O cards. This solution is adopted when
the total number of wavelengths deployed in the ring is higher than ten. OADM nodes equipped with
32MUX-O cards and 32DMX-O cards are called full OADM nodes.
• When the total number of wavelengths deployed in the ring is lower than ten, the anti-ASE node is
configured by using an OADM node where all the channels that are not terminated in the node are
configured as “optical pass-through.” In other words, no channels in the anti-ASE node can travel
through the express path of the OADM node.
For more information about OADM nodes, see the “11.1.2 OADM Node” section on page 11-8. For
more information about anti-ASE nodes, see the “11.1.5 Anti-ASE Node” section on page 11-31.

12.2.2 Linear Networks
Linear configurations are characterized by the use of two terminal nodes, east and west. The 32-channel
terminal nodes can be equipped with a 32MUX-O card and a 32DMX-O card, or with a 32WSS card and
a 32DMX or 32DMX-O card. The 40-channel terminal nodes can be equipped with a 40-MUX-C card
and a 40-DMX-C/40-DMX-CE card, a 40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE card with a 40-DMX-C/40-DMX-CE
card, or a 40-SMR1-C/40-SMR2-C card with a 15216-MD-40-ODD card. OADM or line amplifier nodes
can be installed between the two terminal nodes. Only unprotected traffic can be provisioned in a linear
configuration. Figure 12-5 shows five ONS 15454 nodes in a linear configuration with an amplified and
a passive OADM node.

A single-span link is a type of linear configuration characterized by a single-span link with

terminal nodes, east and west. Only unprotected traffic can be provisioned on a single-span link.
Figure 12-7 shows two ONS 15454s in a single-span link. Eight channels are carried on one span.
Single-span link losses apply to OC-192/STM-64 LR ITU cards. The optical performance values are
valid assuming that the sum of the OADM passive node insertion losses and the span losses does not
exceed 35 dB.

12.2.3 Mesh Networks
A mesh network can be native or multiring. In a native mesh network (Figure 12-8), any combination of
four-degree and eight-degree mesh nodes can work together. Four-degree mesh nodes transmit an optical
signal in four directions, while an eight-degree mesh node transmits an optical signal in eight directions.
For additional information about mesh nodes, see the “11.6 Configuring Mesh DWDM Networks”
section on page 11-53. The intermediate nodes are ROADM nodes. In a mesh node, all wavelengths can
be routed through four (four-degree mesh node) to eight (eight-degree mesh node) different optical line
termination ports using a 40-WXC-C, 80-WXC-C, or 40-SMR2-C card without any
optical-electrical-optical (OEO) regeneration. It is possible to combine 40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE,
40-WXC-C, 40-SMR2-C, and 32WSS cards in the same mesh network without impacting system
performance. For nodes equipped with 32WSS cards, the maximum system capacity is 32 channels.
Terminal sites are connected to the mesh network as a spur.

40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE, 40-WXC-C, 40-SMR2-C, and 32WSS cards in the same multiring network
without impacting system performance. For nodes equipped with 32WSS cards, maximum system

12.3 Interconnected Rings
The interconnected ring configuration allows you to connect two different nodes using external ports to
allow traffic flow between different subnets. In Figure 12-10, the main ring consists of nodes R, R1, and
R2 and the tributary ring consists of nodes r, r1, and r2. It is possible to connect more than one tributary
ring to the main ring at the same point. Node R of the main ring can forward wavelengths to the node r
of the tributary ring and vice-versa.
Node R is either a colorless and omni-directional n-degree ROADM node (Figure 12-11) or a two-degree
colorless ROADM node (Figure 12-12) equipped with 80-WXC-C cards. See the “11.6 Configuring
Mesh DWDM Networks” section on page 11-53 for more information about colorless and
omni-directional n-degree ROADM nodes and two-degree colorless ROADM nodes.
Node r of the tributary ring is a two-degree ROADM node equipped with 40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C,
40-WSS-C, or 40-WSS-CE cards. OTS PPCs are provisioned between the EAD ports of the 80-WXC-C
card on node R and the EXP or ADD/DROP ports of the 40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C, 40-WSS-C, or
40-WSS-CE cards on node r. All the nodes are managed by different IP addresses.

Automatic Power Control
12.8 Automatic Power Control
The ONS 15454 automatic power control (APC) feature performs the following functions:
• Maintains constant per channel power when desired or accidental changes to the number of channels
occur. Constant per channel power increases optical network resilience.
• Compensates for optical network degradation (aging effects).
• Simplifies the installation and upgrade of DWDM optical networks by automatically calculating the
amplifier setpoints.
Note APC algorithms manage the optical parameters of the OPT-BST, OPT-PRE, OPT-AMP-17-C, 32DMX,
40-DMX-C, 40-DMX-CE, 40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C, OPT-BST-L, OPT-AMP-L, OPT-AMP-C, and
32DMX-L cards.
Amplifier software uses a control gain loop with fast transient suppression to keep the channel power
constant regardless of any changes in the number of channels. Amplifiers monitor the changes to the
input power and change the output power proportionately according to the calculated gain setpoint. The
shelf controller software emulates the control output power loop to adjust for fiber degradation. To
perform this function, the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC needs to know the channel distribution, which
is provided by a signaling protocol, and the expected per channel power, which you can provision. The
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card compares the actual amplifier output power with the expected
amplifier output power and modifies the setpoints if any discrepancies occur.
12.8.1 APC at the Amplifier Card Level
In constant gain mode, the amplifier power out control loop performs the following input and output
power calculations, where G represents the gain and t represents time.
Pout (t) = G * Pin (t) (mW)
Pout (t) = G + Pin (t) (dB)
In a power-equalized optical system, the total input power is proportional to the number of channels. The
amplifier software compensates for any variation of the input power due to changes in the number of
channels carried by the incoming signal.
Amplifier software identifies changes in the read input power in two different instances, t1 and t2, as a
change in the traffic being carried. The letters m and n in the following formula represent two different
channel numbers. Pin/ch represents the input power per channel.
Pin (t1)= nPin/ch
Pin (t2) = mPin/ch
Amplifier software applies the variation in the input power to the output power with a reaction time that
is a fraction of a millisecond. This keeps the power constant on each channel at the output amplifier, even
during a channel upgrade or a fiber cut.
The per channel power and working mode (gain or power) are set by automatic node setup (ANS). The
provisioning is conducted on a per-side basis. A preamplifier or a booster amplifier facing Side i is
provisioned using the Side i parameters present in the node database, where i - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H.
Starting from the expected per channel power, the amplifiers automatically calculate the gain setpoint
after the first channel is provisioned. An amplifier gain setpoint is calculated in order to make it equal
to the loss of the span preceding the amplifier itself. After the gain is calculated, the setpoint is no longer 12-21

Chapter 12 Network Reference
Automatic Power Control
changed by the amplifier. Amplifier gain is recalculated every time the number of provisioned channels
returns to zero. If you need to force a recalculation of the gain, move the number of channels back to
zero.
12.8.2 APC at the Shelf Controller Layer
Amplifiers are managed through software to control changes in the input power caused by changes in
the number of channels. The software adjusts the output total power to maintain a constant per channel
power value when the number of input channel changes.
Changes in the network characteristics have an impact on the amplifier input power. Changes in the input
power are compensated for only by modifying the original calculated gain, because input power changes
imply changes in the span loss. As a consequence, the gain to span loss established at amplifier start-up
is no longer satisfied, as shown in Figure 12-23.

In Figure 12-23, Node 1 and Node 2 are equipped with booster amplifiers and preamplifiers. The input
power received at the preamplifier on Node 2 (Pin2) depends on the total power launched by the booster
amplifier on Node1, Pout1(n) (where n is the number of channels), and the effect of the span attenuation
(L) between the two nodes. Span loss changes due to aging fiber and components or changes in operating
conditions. The power into Node 2 is given by the following formula:
Pin2 = LPout1(n)
The phase gain of the preamplifier on Node 2 (GPre-2) is set during provisioning in order to compensate
for the span loss so that the Node 2 preamplifier output power (Pout-Pre-2) is equal to the original
transmitted power, as represented in the following formula:
Pout-Pre-2 = L x GPre-2 x Pout1(n)
In cases of system degradation, the power received at Node 2 decreases due to the change of span
insertion loss (from L to L'). As a consequence of the preamplifier gain control working mode, the
Node 2 preamplifier output power (Pout-Pre-2) also decreases. The goal of APC at the shelf controller
layer is simply to detect if an amplifier output change is needed because of changes in the number of
channels or to other factors. If factors other than changes in the number of channels occur, APC
provisions a new gain at the Node 2 preamplifier (GPre-2') to compensate for the new span loss, as shown
in the formula:
GPre-2' = GPre-2 (L/ L') = GPre-2 + [Pout-Pre-2 –Exp(Pout-Pre-2)]
Generalizing on the above relationship, APC is able to compensate for system degradation by adjusting
working amplifier gain or variable optical attenuation (VOA) and to eliminate the difference between the
power value read by the photodiodes and the expected power value. The expected power values are
calculated using:
• Provisioned per channel power value
• Channel distribution (the number of express, add, and drop channels in the node)
• ASE estimation

Chapter 12 Network Reference
Automatic Power Control
Channel distribution is determined by the sum of the provisioned and failed channels. Information about
provisioned wavelengths is sent to APC on the applicable nodes during circuit creation. Information
about failed channels is collected through a signaling protocol that monitors alarms on ports in the
applicable nodes and distributes that information to all the other nodes in the network.
ASE calculations purify the noise from the power level reported from the photodiode. Each amplifier can
compensate for its own noise, but cascaded amplifiers cannot compensate for ASE generated by
preceding nodes. The ASE effect increases when the number of channels decreases; therefore, a
correction factor must be calculated in each amplifier of the ring to compensate for ASE build-up.
APC is a network-level feature that is distributed among different nodes. An APC domain is a set of
nodes that is controlled by the same instance of APC at the network level. An APC domain optically
identifies a portion of the network that can be independently regulated. An optical network can be
divided into several different domains, with the following characteristics:
• Every domain is terminated by two node sides. The node sides terminating domains are:
– Terminal node (any type)
– ROADM node
– Hub node
– Cross-connect (XC) termination mesh node
– Line termination mesh node
• APC domains are shown in both Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) and Transaction Language One
(TL1).
• In CTC, domains are shown in the network view and reported as a list of spans. Each span is
identified by a node/side pair, for example:
APC Domain Node_1 Side A, Node_4 Side B
+ Span 1: Node_1 Side A, Node_2 Side B
+ Span 2: Node_2 Side A, Node_3 Side B
+ Span 3: Node_3 Side A, Node_4 Side B
• APC domains are not refreshed automatically; instead, they are refreshed using a Refresh button.
Inside a domain, the APC algorithm designates a master node that is responsible for starting APC hourly
or every time a new circuit is provisioned or removed. Every time the master node signals APC to start,
gain and VOA setpoints are evaluated on all nodes in the network. If corrections are needed in different
nodes, they are always performed sequentially following the optical paths starting from the master node.
APC corrects the power level only if the variation exceeds the hysteresis thresholds of +/– 0.5 dB. Any
power level fluctuation within the threshold range is skipped since it is considered negligible. Because
APC is designed to follow slow time events, it skips corrections greater than 3 dB. This is the typical
total aging margin that is provisioned during the network design phase. After you provision the first
channel or the amplifiers are turned up for the first time, APC does not apply the 3 dB rule. In this case,
APC corrects all the power differences to turn up the node.
To avoid large power fluctuations, APC adjusts power levels incrementally. The maximum power
correction is +/– 0.5 dB. This is applied to each iteration until the optimal power level is reached. For
example, a gain deviation of 2 dB is corrected in four steps. Each of the four steps requires a complete
APC check on every node in the network. APC can correct up to a maximum of 3 dB on an hourly basis.
If degradation occurs over a longer time period, APC compensates for it by using all margins that you
provision during installation.
If no margin is available, adjustments cannot be made because setpoints exceed the ranges. APC
communicates the event to CTC, Cisco Transport Manager (CTM), and TL1 through an APC Fail
condition. APC clears the APC fail condition when the setpoints return to the allowed ranges.12-23

Automatic Power Control
APC can be manually disabled. In addition, APC automatically disables itself when:
• An Hardware Fail (HF) alarm is raised by any card in any of the domain nodes.
• A Mismatch Equipment Alarm (MEA) is raised by any card in any of the domain nodes.
• An Improper Removal (IMPROPRMVL) alarm is raised by any card in any of the domain nodes.
• Gain Degrade (GAIN-HDEG), Power Degrade (OPWR-HDEG), and Power Fail (PWR-FAIL)
alarms are raised by the output port of any amplifier card in any of the domain nodes.
• A VOA degrade or fail alarm is raised by any of the cards in any of the domain nodes.
• The signaling protocol detects that one of the APC instances in any of the domain nodes is no longer
reachable.
The APC state (Enable/Disable) is located on every node and can be retrieved by the CTC or TL1
interface. If an event that disables APC occurs in one of the network nodes, APC is disabled on all the
other nodes and the APC state changes to DISABLE - INTERNAL. The disabled state is raised only by
the node where the problem occurred to simplify troubleshooting.
APC raises the following minor, non-service-affecting alarms at the port level in CTC, TL1, and Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP):
• APC Out of Range—APC cannot assign a new setpoint for a parameter that is allocated to a port
because the new setpoint exceeds the parameter range.
• APC Correction Skipped—APC skipped a correction to one parameter allocated to a port because
the difference between the expected and current values exceeds the +/– 3 dB security range.
• APC Disabled—APC is disabled, either by a user or internal action.
After the error condition is cleared, the signaling protocol enables APC on the network and the APC
DISABLE - INTERNAL condition is cleared. Because APC is required after channel provisioning to
compensate for ASE effects, all optical channel network connection (OCHNC) and optical channel client
connection (OCHCC) circuits that you provision during the disabled APC state are kept in the
Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS) (ANSI) or
Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService (ETSI) service state until APC is enabled. OCHNCs and
OCHCCs automatically go into the In-Service and Normal (IS-NR) (ANSI) or Unlocked-enabled (ETSI)
service state only after APC is enabled.
12.8.3 Managing APC
The APC status is indicated by four APC states shown in the node view status area:
• Enabled—APC is enabled.
• Disabled—APC was disabled manually by a user.
• Disable - Internal—APC has been automatically disabled for an internal cause.
• Not Applicable—The node is provisioned to Not DWDM, which does not support APC.
You can view the APC information and disable and enable APC manually on the Maintenance >
DWDM > APC tab.
Caution When APC is disabled, aging compensation is not applied and circuits cannot be activated. Do not
disable APC unless it is required for specific maintenance or troubleshooting tasks. Always enable APC
as soon as the tasks are completed.
The APC subtab provides the following information:12-24

• Position—The slot number, card, and port for which APC information is shown.
• Last Modification—Date and time APC parameter setpoints were last modified.
• Parameter—The parameter that APC last modified.
• Last Check—Date and time APC parameter setpoints were last verified.
• Side—The side where the APC information for the card and port is shown.
• State—The APC state.
A wrong use of maintenance procedures (for example, the procedures to be applied in case of fiber cut
repair) can lead the system to raise the APC Correction Skipped alarm. The APC Correction Skipped
alarm strongly limits network management (for example, a new circuit cannot be turned into IS). The
Force APC Correction button helps to restore normal conditions by clearing the APC Correction Skipped
alarm.
The Force APC Correction button must be used under the Cisco TAC surveillance since its misuse can
lead to traffic loss.
The Force APC Correction button is available in the Card View > Maintenance > APC tab pane in CTC

12.9 Power Side Monitoring
DWDM nodes allow you to view the side power levels on the Maintenance > DWDM > Side Power
Monitoring > Optical Side n tab, where n is A, B, C, D(Figure 12-24). Each existing channel will have
an IN and OUT power on each node side in the case of bidirectional circuits. OUT indicates the power
on the output port with respect to the side to which it is referred to. It is the last port of the side before
the first amplified port in the direction going from the node to the span or the output port of the side itself
if there are no amplified ports. IN indicates the power on the input port with respect to the side to which
is referred to. It is the first port of the side after the last amplified port in the direction going from the
span to the node or the input port of the side itself if there are no amplified ports.12-25

Span Loss Verification
Figure 12-24 ROADM Power Monitoring Subtab
12.10 Span Loss Verification
Span loss measurements can be performed from the Maintenance > DWDM > WDM Span Check tab.
The CTC span check compares the far-end OSC power with the near-end OSC power. A Span Loss Out
of Range condition is raised when the measured span loss is higher than the maximum expected span
loss. It is also raised when the measured span loss is lower than the minimum expected span loss and the
difference between the minimum and maximum span loss values is greater than 1 dB. The minimum and
maximum expected span loss values are calculated by Cisco TransportPlanner for the network and
imported into CTC. However, you can manually change the minimum and expected span loss values.
CTC span loss measurements provide a quick span loss check and are useful whenever changes to the
network occur, for example after you install equipment or repair a broken fiber. CTC span loss
measurement resolutions are:
• +/– 1.5 dB for measured span losses between 0 and 25 dB
• +/– 2.5 dB for measured span losses between 25 and 38 dB
For ONS 15454 span loss measurements with higher resolutions, an optical time domain reflectometer
(OTDR) must be used. 12-26

Span Loss Verification
Note From Software Release 9.0 onwards, span loss measurement is performed using C-band channels
(whenever available), instead of OSC signals. Software Release 9.0 is not interoperable with earlier
releases that are only OSC-based. Therefore, span loss measurement cannot be done on a span if the
adjacent nodes are running different software releases; for example one node running Software Release
8.0 or an earlier release and the second node running Software Release 9.0 or a later release.
12.10.1 Span Loss Measurements on Raman Links
Span loss measurement when Raman amplification is active is less accurate than a standard link as it is
based on a mathematical formula that uses the Raman noise and Raman gain.
Span loss on a Raman link is measured in the following states:
• Automatically during Raman link setup (without Raman amplification)
• Automatically during fiber cut restore (without Raman amplification)
• Periodically or upon request (with Raman amplification)
CTC reports three values in the Maintenance > DWDM > WDM Span Check tab:
• Current Span Measure with Raman—Estimated span loss with Raman pump turned ON.
• Wizard Span Measure with Raman Off—Span loss with Raman pump turned OFF, during Raman
installation.
• Last Span Measure with Raman—Span loss after a fiber cut restoration procedure.
Measurements are performed automatically on an hourly basis.
A Span Loss Out of Range condition is raised under the following conditions:
• Span loss is greater than the maximum expected span loss + resolution
• Span loss is less than the minimum expected span loss – resolution
The minimum and maximum expected span loss values are calculated by Cisco Transport Planner for the
network and imported into CTC. However, you can manually change the minimum and maximum
expected span loss values.
Note During Raman installation using a wizard, the Span Loss Out of Range alarm is not raised when the out
of range condition is raised. In such a case, the wizard fails and an error message is displayed, and the
span is not tuned.
CTC span loss measurements provide a quick span loss check and are useful whenever changes to the
network occur, for example after you install equipment or repair a broken fiber. CTC span loss
measurement resolutions are:
• +/– 1.5 dB for span loss measurements between 0 and 26 dB
• +/– 2.0 dB for span loss measurements between 26 and 31 dB
• +/– 3.0 dB for span loss measurements between 31 and 34 dB
• +/– 4.0 dB for span loss measurements between 34 and 36 dB12-27

12.11 Network Optical Safety
If a fiber break occurs on the network, automatic laser shutdown (ALS) automatically shuts down the
OSCM and OSC-CSM OSC laser output power and the optical amplifiers contained in the OPT-BST,
OPT-BST-E, OPT-BST-L, OPT-AMP-L, OPT-AMP-C, OPT-AMP-17-C, OPT-RAMP-C,
OPT-RAMP-CE, 40-SMR1-C, and 40-SMR2-C cards, and the TX VOA in the protect path of the PSM
card (in line protection configuration only). (Instead, the PSM active path will use optical safety
mechanism implemented by the booster amplifier or OSC-CSM card that are mandatory in the line
protection configuration.)
The Maintenance > ALS tab in CTC card view provide the following ALS management options for
OSCM, OSC-CSM, OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, OPT-BST-L, OPT-AMP-L, OPT-AMP-C, OPT-AMP-17-C,
OPT-RAMP-C, OPT-RAMP-CE, 40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C, and PSM (on the protect path, only in line
protection configuration) cards:
• Disable—ALS is off. The OSC laser transmitter and optical amplifiers are not automatically shut
down when a traffic outage loss of signal (LOS) occurs.
• Auto Restart—ALS is on. The OSC laser transmitter and optical amplifiers automatically shut down
when traffic outages (LOS) occur. It automatically restarts when the conditions that caused the
outage are resolved. Auto Restart is the default ALS provisioning for OSCM, OSC-CSM, OPT-BST,
OPT-BST-E, OPT-BST-L, OPT-AMP-L, OPT-AMP-C, OPT-AMP-17-C, OPT-RAMP-C,
OPT-RAMP-CE, 40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C, and PSM (on the protect path, only in line protection
configuration) cards.
• Manual Restart—ALS is on. The OSC laser transmitter and optical amplifiers automatically shut
down when traffic outages (LOS) occur. However, the laser must be manually restarted when
conditions that caused the outage are resolved.
• Manual Restart for Test—Manually restarts the OSC laser transmitter and optical amplifiers for
testing.
12.11.1 Automatic Laser Shutdown
When ALS is enabled on OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, OPT-BST-L, OPT-AMP-L, OPT-AMP-C,
OPT-AMP-17-C, OPT-RAMP-C, OPT-RAMP-CE, 40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C, PSM (on the protect path,
only in line protection configuration), OSCM, OSC-CSM, and TNC cards, a network safety mechanism
will occur in the event of a system failure. ALS provisioning is also provided on the transponder (TXP)
and muxponder (MXP) cards. However, if a network uses ALS-enabled OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E,
OPT-BST-L, OPT-AMP-L, OPT-AMP-C, OPT-AMP-17-C, OPT-RAMP-C, OPT-RAMP-CE,
40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C, PSM (on the protect path, only in line protection configuration), OSCM, and
OSC-CSM cards, ALS does not need to be enabled on the TXP cards or MXP cards. ALS is disabled on
TXP and MXP cards by default and the network optical safety is not impacted.
If TXP and MXP cards are connected directly to each other without passing through a DWDM layer,
ALS should be enabled on them. The ALS protocol goes into effect when a fiber is cut, enabling some
degree of network point-to-point bidirectional traffic management between the cards.
If ALS is disabled on the OPT-BST, OPT-BST-E, OPT-BST-L, OPT-AMP-L, OPT-AMP-C,
OPT-AMP-17-C, OPT-RAMP-C, OPT-RAMP-CE, 40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C, PSM (on the protect path,
only in line protection configuration), OSCM, and OSC-CSM cards (the DWDM network), ALS can be
enabled on the TXP and MXP cards to provide laser management in the event of a fiber break in the
network between the cards.12-28

12.11.2 Automatic Power Reduction
Automatic power reduction (APR) is controlled by the software and is not user configurable. During
amplifier restart after a system failure, the amplifier (OPT-BST, for example) operates in pulse mode and
an APR level is activated so that the Hazard Level 1 power limit is not exceeded. This is done to ensure
personnel safety.
When a system failure occurs (cut fiber or equipment failure, for example) and ALS Auto Restart is
enabled, a sequence of events is placed in motion to shut down the amplifier laser power, then
automatically restart the amplifier after the system problem is corrected. As soon as a loss of optical
payload and OSC is detected at the far end, the far-end amplifier shuts down. The near-end amplifier
then shuts down because it detects a loss of payload and the OSC shuts down due to the far-end amplifier
shutdown. At this point, the near end attempts to establish communication to the far end using the OSC
laser transmitter. To do this, the OSC emits a two-second pulse at very low power (maximum of 0 dBm)
and waits for a similar two-second pulse in response from the far-end OSC laser transmitter. If no
response is received within 100 seconds, the near end tries again. This process continues until the near
end receives a two-second response pulse from the far end, indicating the system failure is corrected and
full continuity in the fiber between the two ends exists.
After the OSC communication is established, the near-end amplifier is configured by the software to
operate in pulse mode at a reduced power level. It emits a nine-second laser pulse with an automatic
power reduction to +8 dBm. (For 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C cards, the pulse is not +8 dBm but it is
the per channel power setpoint.) This level assures that Hazard Level 1 is not exceeded, for personnel
safety, even though the establishment of successful OSC communication is assurance that any broken
fiber is fixed. If the far-end amplifier responds with a nine-second pulse within 100 seconds, both
amplifiers are changed from pulse mode at reduced power to normal operating power mode.
For a direct connection between TXP or MXP cards, when ALS Auto Restart is enabled and the
connections do not pass through a DWDM layer, a similar process takes place. However, because the
connections do not go through any amplifier or OSC cards, the TXP or MXP cards attempt to establish
communication directly between themselves after a system failure. This is done using a two-second
restart pulse, in a manner similar to that previously described between OSCs at the DWDM layer. The
power emitted during the pulse is below Hazard Level 1.
APR is also implemented on the PSM card (on the protect path, only in line protection configuration).
In the PSM line protection configuration, when a system failure occurs on the working path (cut fiber or
equipment failure, for example), the ALS and APR mechanisms are implemented by the booster
amplifier or the OSC-CSM card. Alternately, when a system failure occurs on the protect path, and ALS
Auto Restart is enabled on the PSM card, a sequence of events is placed in motion to shut down the TX
VOA on the protect path, and then automatically restart it after the system failure is corrected. During
protect path restart, the TX VOA on the protect path operates in pulse mode and limits the power to
maximum +8 dBm so that the Hazard Level 1 power limit is not exceeded on protect TX path.
When ALS is disabled, the warning Statement 1056 is applicable.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do
not view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments
(for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye
hazard. Statement 1056
Note If you must disable ALS, verify that all fibers are installed in a restricted location. Enable ALS
immediately after finishing the maintenance or installation process.12-29

12.11.3 Network Optical Safety on OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE Cards
Optical safety on the OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE cards is implemented in the RAMAN-TX and
COM-TX ports. RAMAN-TX will report safety settings associated to the Raman pump while the
COM-TX port will report safety settings associated with the embedded EDFA.
12.11.3.1 RAMAN-TX Settings on Raman Pump
The Raman pump is automatically turned off as soon as the LOS alarm is detected on the LINE-RX port.
The Raman pump is automatically turned on at APR power every 100 secs for a duration of 9 seconds at
a pulse power of at 8 dBm, as soon as the LINE-RX port is set to IS-NR/unlocked-enabled.
Note Optical safety cannot be disabled on the OPT-RAMP-C and OPT-RAMP-CE cards and cannot be
disabled on OSCM cards when connected to a OPT-RAMP-C or OPT-RAMP-CE card.
The system periodically verifies if the signal power is present on the LINE-RX port. If signal power is
present, the following occurs:
• Pulse duration is extended.
• Raman pumps are turned on at APR power, if the laser was shut down.
The Raman power is then moved to setpoint if power is detected for more than 10 seconds. During
Automatic Laser Restart (ALR) the safety is enabled. The laser is automatically shut down if LOS is
detected on the receiving fiber. In general Raman pump turns on only when Raman signals are detected.
However, the Raman pump can be configured to turn on to full power even when OSC power is detected
for more than 9 seconds on OSC-RX port.
12.11.3.2 COM-TX Safety Setting on EDFA
EDFA is shutdown automatically under the following conditions:
• The Raman pumps shut down.
• An LOS-P alarm is detected on the COM-RX port.
If EDFA was shut down because of Raman pump shut down, the EDFA restarts by automatically turning
on the EDFA lasers as soon as the Raman loop is closed.
• Pulse duration: 9 seconds
• Pulse power: 8 dB (maximum APR power foreseen by safety regulation)
• Exit condition: Received power detected on the DC-RX port at the end of APR pulse. If power is
detected on DC-RX (so DCU is connected) EDFA moves to set-point; otherwise, it keeps 9 dB as
the output power at restart
• EDFA moves to the power set point when power is detected on the DC-RX port.
If EDFA was shutdown because of an LOS-P alarm. The EDFA restarts by automatically turning on the
EDFA laser as soon as an LOS-P alarm on the COM-RX port is cleared, and the Raman loop is closed.12-30

Figure 12-25 Nodes Using OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E Cards
Two photodiodes at Node B monitor the received signal strength for the optical payload and OSC signals.
When the fiber is cut, an LOS is detected at both of the photodiodes. The AND function then indicates
an overall LOS condition, which causes the OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E transmitter, OPT-PRE transmitter,
and OSCM lasers to shut down. This in turn leads to an LOS for both the optical payload and OSC at
Node A, which causes Node A to turn off the OSCM, OPT-PRE transmitter, and OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E
transmitter lasers. The sequence of events after a fiber cut is as follows (refer to the numbered circles in
Figure 12-25):
1. Fiber is cut.
2. The Node B power monitoring photodiode detects a Loss of Incoming Payload (LOS-P) on the
OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E card. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide.
3. On the OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E card, the simultaneous LOS-O and LOS-P detection triggers a
command to shut down the amplifier. CTC reports an LOS alarm (loss of continuity), while LOS-O
and LOS-P are demoted. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide.
4. The OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E card amplifier is shut down within one second.
5. The OSCM laser is shut down.

been restored and transmission can begin. For example, when the far end, Node B, receives a pulse, it
signals to the Node B OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E transmitter to begin transmitting an optical signal. The
OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E receiver at Node A receives that signal and signals the Node A
OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E transmitter to resume transmitting.
Note During a laser restart pulse, APR ensures that the laser power does not exceed Class 1 limits. See the

Figure 12-26 Nodes Using OSC-CSM Cards
Two photodiodes at the Node B OSC-CSM card monitor the received signal strength for the received
optical payload and OSC signals. When the fiber is cut, LOS is detected at both of the photodiodes. The
AND function then indicates an overall LOS condition, which causes the Node B OSC laser to shut down
and the optical switch to block traffic. This in turn leads to LOS for both the optical payload and OSC
signals at Node A, which causes Node A to turn off the OSC laser and the optical switch to block
outgoing traffic. The sequence of events after a fiber cut is as follows (refer to the numbered circles in
Figure 12-26):
1. Fiber is cut.
2. The Node B power monitoring photodiode detects a LOS-P on the OSC-CSM card. Refer to the

3. On the OSC-CSM, the simultaneous LOS-O and LOS-P detection triggers a change in the position
of the optical switch. CTC reports a LOS alarm (loss of continuity), while LOS-O and LOS-P are

example, when the far-end Node B receives a pulse, it signals to the Node B OSC to begin transmitting
its optical signal and for the optical switch to pass incoming traffic. The OSC-CSM at Node A then
receives the signal and tells the Node A OSC to resume transmitting and for the optical switch to pass

Two photodiodes at Node B monitor the received signal strength for the optical payload. When the fiber
is cut, an LOS is detected on the channel photodiode while the other one never gets a signal because the
OSC is not present. The AND function then indicates an overall LOS condition, which causes the
OPT-BST amplifier transmitter to shut down. This in turn leads to a LOS for the optical payload at
Node A, which causes Node A to turn off the OPT-BST amplifier lasers.

Automatic Laser Restart (ALR) on the Raman pump is detected as soon as the fiber is restored. This turns
both the Raman pumps to ON state, on both nodes. When power on the Raman pump is restored, it turns
on the embedded EDFA also. The booster amplifiers on both Node A and Node B detects power on
LINE-RX port. This restarts the booster amplifier. Once the APR cycle is completed, all the lasers move
to full power.

12.12 Network-Level Gain—Tilt Management of Optical
Amplifiers
The ability to control and adjust per channel optical power equalization is a principal feature of
ONS 15454 DWDM metro core network applications. A critical parameter to assure optical spectrum
equalization throughout the DWDM system is the gain flatness of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers
(EDFAs).
Two items, gain tilt and gain ripple, are factors in the power equalization of optical amplifier cards such
as the OPT-BST and OPT-PRE. Figure 12-31 shows a graph of the amplifier output power spectrum and
how it is affected by gain tilt and gain ripple.12-41
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 12 Network Reference
Network-Level Gain—Tilt Management of Optical Amplifiers
Figure 12-31 Effect of Gain Ripple and Gain Tilt on Amplifier Output Power
Gain ripple and gain tilt are defined as follows:
• Gain ripple is random and depends on the spectral shape of the amplifier optical components.
• Gain tilt is systematic and depends on the gain setpoint (Gstp) of the optical amplifier, which is a
mathematical function F(Gstp) that relates to the internal amplifier design.
Gain tilt is the only contribution to the power spectrum disequalization that can be compensated at the
card level. A VOA internal to the amplifier can be used to compensate for gain tilt.
An optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) is used to acquire the output power spectrum of an amplifier. The
OSA shows the peak-to-peak difference between the maximum and minimum power levels, and takes
into account the contributions of both gain tilt and gain ripple.
Note Peak-to-peak power acquisition using an OSA cannot be used to measure the gain tilt, because gain
ripple itself is a component of the actual measurement.
12.12.1 Gain Tilt Control at the Card Level
The OPT-BST and OPT-PRE amplifier cards have a flat output (gain tilt = 0 dB) for only a specific gain
value (Gdesign), based on the internal optical design (see Figure 12-32).

Figure 12-32 Flat Gain (Gain Tilt = 0 dB)
If the working gain setpoint of the amplifier is different from Gdesign, the output spectrum begins to
suffer a gain tilt variation.
In order to compensate for the absolute value of the increase of the spectrum tilt, the OPT-BST and
OPT-PRE cards automatically adjust the attenuation of the VOA to maintain a flat power profile at the
output, as shown in Figure 12-33.

Network-Level Gain—Tilt Management of Optical Amplifiers
Table 12-2 shows the flat output gain range limits for the OPT-BST and OPT-PRE cards, as well as the
maximum (worst case) values of gain tilt and gain ripple expected in the specific gain range.
If the operating gain value is outside of the range shown in Table 12-2, the EDFA introduces a tilt
contribution for which the card itself cannot directly compensate. This condition is managed in different
ways, depending the amplifier card type:
• OPT-BST—The OPT-BST amplifier is, by design, not allowed to work outside the zero tilt range.
Cisco TransportPlanner network designs use the OPT-BST amplifier card only when the gain is less
than or equal to 20 dB.
• OPT-PRE—Cisco TransportPlanner allows network designs even if the operating gain value is equal
to or greater than 21 dB. In this case, a system-level tilt compensation strategy is adopted by the
DWDM system. A more detailed explanation is given in 12.12.2 System Level Gain Tilt Control,
page 12-43.
12.12.2 System Level Gain Tilt Control
System level gain tilt control for OPT-PRE cards is achievable with two main scenarios:
• Without an ROADM node
• With an ROADM node
12.12.2.1 System Gain Tilt Compensation Without ROADM Nodes
When an OPT-PRE card along a specific line direction (Side A-to-Side B or Side B-to-Side A) is
working outside the flat output gain range (G > 21 dB), the unregulated tilt is compensated for in spans
that are not connected to ROADM nodes by configuring an equal but opposite tilt on one or more of the
amplifiers in the downstream direction. The number of downstream amplifiers involved depends on the
amount of tilt compensation needed and the gain setpoint of the amplifiers that are involved. See
Figure 12-34.

12.13 Optical Data Rate Derivations
This section discusses the derivation of several data rates commonly used in optical networking.
12.13.1 OC-192/STM-64 Data Rate (9.95328 Gbps)
The SONET OC-1 rate is 51.84 Mbps. This rate results from a standard SONET frame, which consists
of 9 rows of 90 columns of 8-bit bytes (810 bytes total). The transmission rate is 8000 frames per second
(125 microseconds per frame). This works out to 51.84 Mbps, as follows:
(9) x (90 bytes/frame) x (8 bits/byte) x (8000 frames/sec) = 51.84 Mbps
OC-192 is 192 x 51.84 Mbps = 9953.28 Mbps = 9.95328 Gbps
STM-64 is an SDH rate that is equivalent to the SONET OC-192 data rate.
12.13.2 10GE Data Rate (10.3125 Gbps)
10.3125 Gbps is the standard 10 Gbps Ethernet LAN rate. The reason the rate is higher than 10.000 Gbps
is due to the 64-bit to 66-bit data encoding. The result is 10 Gbps x 66/64 = 10.3125 Gbps. The reason
for 64-bit to 66-bit encoding is to ensure that there are adequate data transitions to ensure proper
operation of a clock and data recovery circuit at the far end. Additionally, the encoding assures a data
stream that is DC balanced.
12.13.3 10G FC Data Rate (10.51875 Gbps)
The Fibre Channel rate is based on the OC-192 rate of 9.95328 Gbps, with the addition of 64-bit to 66-bit
encoding and WAN Interconnect Sublayer (WIS) overhead bytes.

Optical Data Rate Derivations
The rate is derived from the basic 9.95328 Gbps OC-192 rate. First, it has the 64-bit to 66-bit encoding
added, which brings it to the 10.3125 Gbps rate (10 Gbps x 66/64 = 10.3125 Gbps). Beyond that, the
WIS overhead is added, which is an additional two percent on top of the 10.3125 Gbps. This yields:
10.3125 Gbps x .02 = 0.20625 Gbps
10.3125 Gbps + 0.20625 Gbps = 10.51875 Gbps
12.13.4 ITU-T G.709 Optical Data Rates
To understand optical networking data rates, an understanding of the ITU-T G.709 frame structure,
shown in Figure 12-37, is needed.
Figure 12-37 ITU-T G.709 Frame Structure
Each of the sub-rows in Figure 12-37 contains 255 bytes. Sixteen are interleaved horizontally
(16 x 255 = 4080). This is repeated four times to make up the complete ITU-T G.709 frame.
The Reed Solomon (RS) (255,239) designation indicates the forward error correction (FEC) bytes. There
are 16 FEC, or parity, bytes. The ITU-T G.709 protocol uses one overhead byte and 238 data bytes to
compute 16 parity bytes to form 255 byte blocks—the RS (255,239) algorithm. Interleaving the
information provides two key advantages. First, the encoding rate of each stream is reduced relative to
the line transmission rate and, second, it reduces the sensitivity to bursts of error. The interleaving
combined with the inherent correction strength of the RS (255,239) algorithm enables the correction of
transmission bursts of up to 128 consecutive errored bytes. As a result, the ITU-T G.709 contiguous burst
error correcting capability is enhanced 16 times above the capacity of the RS(255,239) algorithm by
itself.
ITU-T G.709 defines the Optical Transport Unit 2 (OTU2) rate as 10.70923 Gbps. ITU-T G.709 defines
three line rates:

2. 10,709,225.316 kbps—Optical Transport Unit 2 (OTU2)
3. 43,018,413.559 kbps—Optical Transport Unit 3 (OTU3)
The OTU2 rate is higher than OC-192 because the OTU2 has to carry overhead and FEC bytes in its
frame; the bits must be sent faster to carry the payload information at the OC-192 rate.
The ITU-T G.709 frame has two parts. Two are similar to a SDH/SONET frame:
1. Overhead area for operation, administration, and maintenance functions
2. Payload area for customer data
In addition, the ITU-T G.709 frame also includes FEC bytes.
12.13.4.1 OC-192 Packaged Into OTU2 G.709 Frame Data Rate (10.70923 Gbps)
In this case, an OC-192 frame is being transported over a OTU2 G.709 frame, which adds the benefit of
FEC. The OC-192 data rate (9.95328 Gbps) must increase in order to transport more bytes (OC-192 plus
ITU-T G.709 overhead plus ITU-T G.709 FEC bytes) in the same amount of time. In an OTU2
transmission, 237 of the 255 bytes are OC-192 payload. This means the resultant data rate is:
9.95328 x 255/237 = 10.70923 Gbps
12.13.4.2 10GE Packaged Into OTU2 G.709 Frame Data Rate (Nonstandard 11.0957 Gbps)
Encapsulating Ethernet data into an OTU2 G.709 frame is considered nonstandard. The goal is to add
the benefit of ITU-T G.709 encapsulation to achieve better burst error performance. However, this means
adding overhead and FEC bytes, so more bytes must be transmitted in the same amount of time, so the
data rate must increase. The new date rate is:
10.3215 x 255/237 = 11.0957 Gbps
12.13.4.3 10G FC Packaged Into OTU2 G.709 Frame Data Rate (Nonstandard 11.31764 Gbps)
Encapsulating Fibre Channel in an OTU2 frame is considered nonstandard. The rate is higher than the
10.51875 rate because OTU2 includes FEC bytes. The bits must run at a faster rate so that the payload
is provided at the standard Fibre Channel rate. The rate is:
10.51875 x 255/237 = 11.31764 Gbps
12.14 Even Band Management
With the introduction of the following cards, it is now possible to transport 72, 80, 104, or 112
wavelength channels in the same network:
• 40-WSS-CE (40-channel Wavelength Selective Switch, C-band, even channels)
• 40-DMX-CE (40-channel Demultiplexer, C-band, even channels)
By using these new cards along with the 40-WSS-C and 40-DMX-C cards (which handle 40 C-band odd
channels), the 32WSS and 32DMX cards (which handle 32 C-band odd channels), and the 32WSS-L and
32DMX-L (which handle 32 L-band odd channels), it is possible to cover 80 C-band channels (40 even
and 40 odd channels) and 32 L-band odd channels, for a maximum of 112 channels. The following
channel coverage combinations are possible:
• 72 C-band channels, using the 32WSS, 32DMX, 40-WSS-CE, and 40-DMX-CE cards12-49

• 80 C-band channels, using the 40-WSS-C, 40-DMX-C, 40-WSS-CE, and 40-DMX-CE cards
• 104 channels (32 L-band odd channels and 72 C-band channels), using the 32WSS-L and 32DMX-L
cards as a set to cover 32 L-band odd channels and the 32WSS, 32DMX, 40-WSS-CE, and
40-DMX-CE cards as a set to cover 72 C-band odd and even channels
• 112 channels (32 L-band odd channels and 80 C-band even channels), using the 32WSS-L and
32DMX-L cards as a set to cover 32 L-band odd channels and the 40-WSS-C, 40-DMX-C,
40-WSS-CE, and 40-DMX-CE, cards as a set to cover 80 C-band odd and even channels
The following node topologies are available for even channel management or odd-plus-even channel
management:
• Terminal node
• Hub node
• ROADM node
• OSC regeneration and optical line amplification node
The external ONS 15216-ID-50 module is a 50 GHz/100GHz optical interleaver/deinterleaver that is
required to combine or separate odd and even C-band channels. This module increases capacity by
combining two optical data streams into a single, more densely spaced stream. The module can be used
in multiplexer mode to combine two 100-GHz optical signal streams into one 50-GHz stream, and in
demultiplexer mode to separate the 50-GHz stream into two 100-GHz streams.
The ONS 15216-SC-CL module is an external C-band and L-band splitter/combiner module that
combines and separates the C-band odd/even channels and the L-band odd channels.
An example of a 104-channel C-band plus L-band ROADM node is shown in Figure 12-38 on
page 12-50. There are 72 C-band even channels and 32 L-band odd channels. The signal flow from the
left side of the diagram to the right side is given in the following steps. The signal flow from the right
side to the left is identical.
1. All the C-band and L-band signals enter the ONS 15216-SC-CL.
2. When the signals exit the ONS 15216-SC-CL, the 72 C-band even and odd channel signals are sent
to the upper set of blocks and the 32 L-band odd channel signals are sent to the lower set of blocks.
3. The 72 C-band even and odd channel signals pass through a preamplifier, then through an
ONS 15261-ID-50 and wavelength selective switch (WSS). Only the channels to be dropped are sent
to the demultiplexer (DMX) block. There are two such sets of blocks, one set for the 32 odd C-band
channels, and one set for the 40 even C-band channels.
4. The 32 L-band odd channel signals pass through a preamplifier, then through two 32-channel
wavelength selective switch (32WSS-L) cards. Only the channels to be dropped are sent to the
32-channel demultiplexer (32DMX-L) card.
5. At the upper set of blocks, the ONS 15261-ID-50 deinterleaves the 32 C-band odd channels from
the 40 C-band even channels. The 32 C-band odd channels are routed through the top blocks (two
32WSS cards and one 32DMX card), while the 40 C-band even channels are routed through the
lower blocks (two 40-WSS-CE cards and one 40-DMX-CE card).
6. When a signal enters a 32WSS-L or 40-WSS-CE card, it is split. Part of the signal (the channels that
are to be dropped) goes to the32 DMX-L card or 40-DMX-CE card so that channels can be dropped
for use by the client equipment. The other part of the signal goes to the next 32WSS-L card or
40_DMX-CE card, where the channels can be passed through or blocked, and channels can be added
to the stream from the client equipment.12-50

7. After the channels leave the last 32WSS-L card or 40-WSS-CE card, the C-band even and odd
channels are interleaved back into a single stream by the ONS 15216-ID-50 module, sent through a
booster amplifier, and then they enter the ONS 15216-SC-CL module, where they are combined with
the L-band signals from the lower set of blocks and sent out onto the optical fiber.

Wavelength Drifted Channel Automatic Shutdown
12.15 Wavelength Drifted Channel Automatic Shutdown
The wavelength drifted channel automatic shutdown feature detects wavelength instability or
wavelength drift in the Trunk-TX port of the card connected to an MSTP multiplexer. The channel
photodiode or optical channel monitor (OCM) associated with a variable optical attenuator (VOA) is
used to detect the power fluctuation.
The wavelength drifted channel automatic shutdown feature is supported on 40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C,
80-WXC-C, 40-WXC-C, and 40-WSS-C cards. The 40-WSS and 40-WXC cards do not detect the power
fluctuation on their ADD ports because the Add Photodiode is located before the filtering stage. The
40-SMR1-C, 40-SMR2-C, and 80-WXC-C cards have the OCM devices installed on the ADD port. The
OCM device detects the wavelength sensitive signal so that an alarm is raised on the ADD port at the
source node. The power fluctuation is detected on different ports for each card. Table 12-3 lists the ports
on which the power fluctuation is detected:
The detection mechanism leverages on the repeated crossing of the embedded OPT-PWR-DEG-LOW
threshold value associated to the port. When the card exceeds the OPT-PWR-DEG-LOW threshold value
16 times in 24 hours, the WVL-DRIFT-CHAN-OFF alarm is raised.
For more information on severity level of the conditions and procedure to clear the alarms, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide.
Note The automatic shutdown of a channel when the WVL-DRIFT-CHAN-OFF is raised will be implemented
in later releases.

Optical Channel Circuits and Virtual Patchcords
Reference
This chapter explains the Cisco ONS 15454 dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical
channel (OCH) circuit types and virtual patchcords that can be provisioned on the ONS 15454. Circuit
types include the OCH client connection (OCHCC), the OCH trail, and the OCH network connection
(OCHNC). Virtual patchcords include internal patchcords and provisionable (external) patchcords
(PPCs). This chapter also describes 13.3 End-to-End SVLAN Circuit that can be created between
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE cards.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454" refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
13.1 Optical Channel Circuits
The ONS 15454 DWDM optical circuits provide end-to-end connectivity using three OCH circuit types:
• Optical Channel Network Connections (OCHNC)
• Optical Channel Client Connections (OCHCC)
• Optical Channel Trails (OCH Trails)
A graphical representation of OCH circuits is shown in Figure 13-1.

Optical Channel Circuits
13.1.1 OCHNC Circuits
OCHNC circuits establish connectivity between two optical nodes on a specified C-band wavelength.
The connection is made through the ports present on the wavelength selective switches, multiplexers,
demultiplexer, and add/drop cards. In an OCHNC circuit, the wavelength from a source OCH port
ingresses to a DWDM system and then egresses from the DWDM system to the destination OCH port.
The source and destination OCH port details are listed in Table 13-1.
Note When the 40-SMR1-C or 40-SMR2-C card operates along with the 15216-MD-40-ODD,
15216-EF-40-ODD, or 15216-MD-48-ODD (ONS 15216 40 or 48-channel mux/demux), the OCH ports
on the patch panel are the endpoints of the OCHNC circuit.
When the 40-SMR1-C or 40-SMR2-C card operates along with the 40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C cards,
the endpoints of the OCHNC circuit are on the MUX/DMX cards.

13.1.2 OCHCC Circuits
OCHCC circuits extend the OCHNC to create an optical connection from the source client port to the
destination client port of the TXP/MXP cards. An OCHCC circuit represents the actual end-to-end client
service passing through the DWDM system.
Each OCHCC circuit is associated to a pair of client or trunk ports on the transponder (TXP), muxponder
(MXP), GE_XP (in layer-1 DWDM mode), 10GE_XP (in layer-1 DWDM mode), or ITU-T line card.
The OCHCCs can manage splitter protection as a single protected circuit. However, for the Y-Cable
protection, two OCHCC circuits and two protection groups are required.
13.1.3 OCH Trail Circuits
OCH trail circuits transport the OCHCCs. The OCH trail circuit creates an optical connection from the
source trunk port to the destination trunk port of the Transponder (TXP), Muxponder (MXP), GE_XP,
10GE_XP, or ITU-T line card. The OCH trail represents the common connection between the two cards,
over which all the client OCHCC circuits, SVLAN circuits or STS circuits are carried.
Once an OCHCC is created, a corresponding OCH Trail is automatically created. If the OCHCC is
created between two TXP, MXP, GE_XP, or 10GE_XP cards, two circuits are created in the CTC. These
are:
One OCHCC (at client port endpoints)
One OCH trail (at trunk port endpoints)
If the OCHCC is created between two TXPP or two MXPP cards, three circuits are created in the CTC.
These are:
• One OCHCC (at client port endpoints)
• Two OCH Trails (at trunk port endpoints)
One for the working and other for the protect trunk.
Note On a TXP, MXP, and GE_XP card (in layer 1 DWDM mode), additional OCHCC circuits are created
over the same OCH trail.
Note On a TXP, MXP, GE_XP (in layer 1 DWDM mode), and 10GE_XP (in layer 1 DWDM mode) card, the
OCH trail cannot be created independently, and is created along with the first OCHCC creation on the
card. However, on a GE_XP card (in layer-2 DWDM mode), 10GE_XP card (in layer-2 DWDM mode),
and ADM_10G card, an OCH trail can be created between the trunk ports for the upper layer circuits
(SVLAN in GE_XP/10GE_XP and STS in ADM_10G). No OCHCC is supported in these cases.
If the OCHCC is created between two ITU-T line cards, only one trunk port belongs to the OCHCC at
each end of the circuit. Table 13-2 lists the ports that can be OCHCC and OCH trail endpoints.13-4

13.1.4 Administrative and Service States
OCHCCs, OCH trails, and OCHNCs occupy three different optical layers. Each OCH circuit has its own
administrative and service states. The OCHCCs impose additional restrictions on changes that can be
made to client card port administrative state.
The OCHCC service state is the sum of the OCHCC service state and the OCH trail service state. When
creating an OCHCC circuit, you can specify an initial state for both the OCHCC and the OCH trail
layers, including the source and destination port states. The ANSI/ETSI administrative states for the
OCHCC circuits and connections are:
• IS/Unlocked
• IS,AINS/Unlocked,AutomaticInService
• OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled
OCHCC service states and source and destination port states can be changed independently. You can
manually modify client card port states in all traffic conditions. Setting an OCHCC circuit to
OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled state has no effect on OCHCC client card ports.
An OCH trail is created automatically when you create an OCHCC. OCH trails can be created
independently between OCH-10G cards and GE_XP and 10GE_XP when they are provisioned in
Layer 2 Over DWDM mode. The OCH trail ANSI/ETSI administrative states include:
• IS/Unlocked
• IS,AINS/Unlocked,automaticInService
• OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled
You can modify OCH trail circuit states from the Edit Circuit window. Placing an OCH trail
OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled causes the following state changes:
• The state of the OCH trail ports changes to OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled.
• The OCHNC state changes to OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled.
Changing the OCH trail state to IS,AINS/Unlocked,automaticInService causes the following state
changes:
• The state of the OCH trail trunk ports changes to IS/Unlocked.
• The OCHNC state changes to IS,AINS/Unlocked,automaticInService.
The OCH trail service state is the sum of the OCHCC trunk port state and the OCHNC (if applicable)
state. Changing the client card trunk ports to OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled when the OCH trail state
IS/Unlocked will cause the OCH trail state to change to OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled and its status to
change to Partial.
The OCHNC circuit states are not linked to the OCHCC circuit states. The administrative states for the
OCHNC circuit layer are:
• IS,AINS/Unlocked,AutomaticInService
• OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled
When you create an OCHNC, you can set the target OCHNC circuit state to IS/Unlocked or
OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled. You can create an OCHNC even if OCHNC source and destination ports
are OOS,MT/Locked,maintenance. The OCHNC circuit state will remain
OOS-AU,AINS/Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService until the port maintenance state is removed.
During maintenance or laser shutdown, the following behavior occurs: 13-6
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 13 Optical Channel Circuits and Virtual Patchcords Reference
Optical Channel Circuits
• If OCHNCs or their end ports move into an AINS/AutomaticInService state because of user
maintenance activity on an OCHCC circuit (for example, you change an optical transport section
(OTS) port to OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled), Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) suppresses the
loss of service (LOS) alarms on the TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, or ITU-T line card trunk ports
and raises a Trail Signal Fail condition. Line card trunk port alarms are not changed, however.
• If TXP client or trunk port are set to OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled state (for example, a laser is
turned off) and the OCH trunk and OCH filter ports are located in the same node, the OCH filter
LOS alarm is demoted by a Trail Signal Fail condition.
OCHCCs are associated with the client card end ports. Therefore, the following port parameters cannot
be changed when they carry an OCHCC:
• Wavelength
• Service (or payload type)
• Splitter protection
• ITU-T G.709
• Forward error correction (FEC)
• Mapping
Certain OCHCC parameters, such as service type, service size, and OCHNC wavelength can only be
modified by deleting and recreating the OCHCC. If the OCHCC has MXP end ports, you can modify
services and parameters on client ports that are not allocated to the OCHCC. Some client port
parameters, such as Ethernet frame size and distance extension, are not part of an OCHCC so they can
be modified if not restricted by the port state. For addition information about administrative and service
states, see Appendix B, “Administrative and Service States.”
13.1.5 Creating and Deleting OCHCCs
To create an OCHCC, you must know the client port states and their parameters. If the client port state
is IS/Unlocked, OCHCC creation will fail if the OTN line parameters (ITU-T G.709, FEC, signal fail bit
error rate (SF BER), and signal degrade bit error rate (SD BER) on the OCHCC differ from what is
provisioned on the trunk port. The port state must be changed to OOS-DSLB/Locked,disabled in order
to complete the OCHCC.
If you delete an OCHCC, you can specify the administrative state to apply to the client card ports. For
example, you can have the ports placed in OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled state after an OCHCC is
deleted. If you delete an OCHCC that originates and terminates on MXP cards, the MXP trunk port states
can only be changed if the trunk ports do not carry other OCHCCs.
13.1.6 OCHCCs and Service and Communications Channels
Although optical service channels (OSCs), generic communications channels (GCCs), and data
communications channels (DCCs) are not managed by OCHCCs, the following restrictions must be
considered when creating or deleting OCHCCs on ports with service or communication channels:
• Creating an OCHCC when the port has a service or a communications channel is present—OCHCC
creation will fail if the OCHCC parameters are incompatible with the GCC/DCC/GCC. For
example, you cannot disable ITU-T G.709 on the OCHCC if a GCC carried by the port requires the
parameter to be enabled. 13-7
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 13 Optical Channel Circuits and Virtual Patchcords Reference
Virtual Patchcords
• Creating a service or communications channel on ports with OCHCCs—OCHCC creation will fail
if the GCC/DCC/GCC parameters are incompatible with the OCHCC.
• Deleting an OCHCC on ports with service or communications channels—If an OSC/GCC/DCC is
present on a TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 20GE_XP, or ITU-T line card client or trunk port, you cannot set
these ports to the OOS,DSBLD/Locked,disabled state after the OCHCC circuit is deleted.
13.2 Virtual Patchcords
The TXP, MXP, TXPP, MXPP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, and ADM-10G client ports and DWDM filter ports
can be located in different nodes or in the same single-shelf or multishelf node. ITU-T line card trunk
ports and the corresponding DWDM filter ports are usually located in different nodes.
OCHCC provisioning requires a virtual patchcord between the client card trunk ports and the DWDM
filter ports. Depending on the physical layout, this can be an internal patchcord or a provisionable
(external) patchcord (PPC). Both patchcord types are bidirectional. However, each direction is managed
as a separate patchcord.
Internal patchcords provide virtual links between the two sides of a DWDM shelf, either in single-shelf
or multishelf mode. They are viewed and managed in the Provisioning > WDM-ANS >
Internal Patchcords tab.
When the NE update file is imported in CTC, the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Internal Patchcord tab is
populated with the internal patchcords. When you create an internal patchcord manually, the Internal
Patchcord Creation wizard prompts you to choose one of the following internal patchcord types:
• Trunk to Trunk (L2)—Creates an internal patchcord between two trunk ports (in NNI mode) of a
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE card provisioned in the L2-over-DWDM mode.
• OCH-Trunk to OCH-Filter—Creates an internal patchcord between the trunk port of a TXP, MXP,
GE_XP, 10GE_XP, or ITU-T line card, and an OCH filter card (wavelength selective switch,
multiplexer, or demultiplexer).
• OCH-Filter to OCH-Filter—Creates an internal patchcord between a MUX input port and a DMX
output port.
• OTS to OTS—Creates an internal patchcord between two OTS ports.
• Optical Path—Creates an internal patchcord between two optical cards, or between an optical card
and a passive card.
Note If a Side-to-Side PPC is created between nodes, it will no longer function if the node Security Mode
mode is enabled (see the “DLP-G264 Enable Node Security Mode” task in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Procedure Guide). When the Secure mode is enabled, it is no longer possible for the DCN extension
feature to use the LAN interface to extend the internal network (due to the network isolation in this
configuration mode). The result is that the topology discovery on the Side-to-Side PPC no longer
operates.

For Client/Trunk to Client/Trunk (L2) PPCs, the following provisioning rules and conditions apply:
• The card must be provisioned in the L2-over-DWDM mode.
• The client or trunk ports must be in the NNI mode.
• PPCs can be created only between NNI ports of the same size (1GE-1GE or 10GE-10GE).
For Client/Trunk to Client/Trunk PPCs, the following provisioning rules and conditions apply:
• Patchcords can be created on preprovisioned or physically installed cards.
• Trunk-to-trunk connections require compatible wavelengths if the port is equipped. A check is
automatically performed during patchcord provisioning to ensure wavelength compatibility of ports.

End-to-End SVLAN Circuit
• For connections involving one or more preprovisioned ports, no compatibility check is performed.
For OCH Trunk to OCH Filter PPCs, the following provisioning rules and conditions apply:
• GCC and DCC links are not required to create a PPC.
• PPCs can be created for preprovisioned or physically installed cards.
• OCH trunk and OCH filter ports must be on the same wavelength. CTC checks the ports for
wavelength compatibility automatically during PPC provisioning.
• For OC-48/STM-16 and OC-192/STM-64 ITU-T line cards, the wavelength compatibility check is
performed only when the cards are installed. The check is not performed for preprovisioned cards.
• For all other preprovisioned cards, a wavelength compatibility check is not performed if card is set
to first tunable wavelength. The wavelength is automatically provisioned on the port, according to
the add/drop port that you chose when you created the PPC.
13.3 End-to-End SVLAN Circuit
An end-to-end SVLAN circuit can be created between GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE
cards through a wizard in CTC. SVLAN circuits created this way are only a snapshot of the SVLAN
settings (NNI and QinQ) of each card in the network. If an end-to-end SVLAN circuit is created via CTC
and the SVLAN settings of the cards are changed manually, CTC does not update the SVLAN circuit
created with the new settings. To update the SVLAN circuit in CTC, the circuit must be refreshed.
However, any changes made to subtended OCH trail circuits are reflected in the SVLAN circuit in CTC.
If an OCH trail becomes incomplete and the current SVLAN circuit snapshot has some SVLAN circuits
that are using it, they remain incomplete. If the snapshot contains incomplete SVLAN circuits and an
OCH trail circuit becomes available, the incomplete SVLAN circuit snapshot in CTC appears to be
complete.
When the destination port of the SVLAN circuit facing the router is configured as a NNI client port, the
outgoing ethernet packets do not drop the SVLAN tag when they exit the MSTP network allowing the
router to determine the origin of the ethernet packet.
SVLAN circuits are stateless circuits; an administrative or service state need not be set.
Note During SVLAN provisioning, if a SVLAN circuit span using UNI ports in transparent mode is over
subscribed, a warning message is displayed. However, the circuit is created. This is supported on channel
groups on GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE cards.
13.3.1 End-to-End SVLAN Provisioning Rules
The following provisioning rules and conditions apply to end-to-end SVLAN circuits:
• GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards must be provisioned in L2-over-DWDM mode.
• SVLAN database must be loaded with the SVLAN.
• SVLAN circuits are routed through OCH trail circuits or PPC; Client/Trunk to Client/Trunk (L2).
Therefore, before creating an SVLAN circuit, make sure that the subtended OCH trail circuits
between GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards or PPC links are created.
• For protected SVLAN circuits, create a ring (through OCH trail circuits), define a master node, and
enable the protection role.13-14

14.1 CTC Software Delivery Methods
ONS 15454, ONS 15454 M2, and ONS 15454 M6 provisioning and administration is performed using
the CTC software. CTC is a Java application that resides on the control cards:
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC. CTC is downloaded to your workstation the first time you log into
15454-DWDM, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 shelf assemblies with a new software release using the web
interface. You can also log into CTC using the CTC launcher application (StartCTC.exe). Refer to the
“14.6 Using the CTC Launcher Application to Manage Multiple ONS Nodes” section on page 14-19 for
more information.14-2
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 14 Cisco Transport Controller Operation
CTC Installation Overview
14.1.1 CTC Software Installed on the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC Card
The CTC software is preloaded on the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards; therefore, you do not need
to install software on these cards. When a new CTC software version is released, use the release-specific
software upgrade document to upgrade the ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 software on the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards.
When you upgrade the CTC software, the control cards store the new CTC version as the protect CTC
version. When you activate the new CTC software, the control cards store the older CTC version as the
protect CTC version, and the newer CTC release becomes the working version. You can view the
software versions that are installed on an ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 shelf assemblies by
selecting the Maintenance > Software tabs in node view (single-shelf mode) or multishelf view
(multishelf mode).
Select the Maintenance > Software tabs in network view to display the software versions installed on all
the network nodes.
14.1.2 CTC Software Installed on the PC or UNIX Workstation
CTC software is downloaded from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards and installed on your
computer automatically after you connect to the ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 with a new
software release for the first time. Downloading the CTC software files automatically ensures that your
computer is running the same CTC software version as the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards you are
accessing. The CTC files are stored in the temporary directory designated by your computer operating
system. Click the Delete CTC Cache button to remove files stored in the temporary directory. If the files
are deleted, they download the next time you connect to ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6.
Downloading the Java archive (JAR) files for CTC takes several minutes depending on the bandwidth of
the connection between your workstation and ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6. For example, JAR
files downloaded from a modem or a data communications channel (DCC) network link require more
time than JAR files downloaded over a LAN connection.
During network topology discovery, CTC polls each node in the network to determine which one
contains the most recent version of the CTC software. If CTC discovers a node in the network that has
a more recent version of the CTC software than the version you are currently running, CTC generates a
message stating that a later version of the CTC has been found in the network and offers to install the
CTC software upgrade. After the node view appears, you can upgrade CTC by using the Tools >
Update CTC menu option. If you have network discovery disabled, CTC will not seek more recent
versions of the software. Unreachable nodes are not included in the upgrade discovery.
Note Upgrading the CTC software will overwrite your existing software. You must restart CTC after the
upgrade is complete.
14.2 CTC Installation Overview
To connect to ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 using CTC, you enter the IP address in the URL
field of Microsoft Internet Explorer. After connecting to ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6, the
following occurs automatically:
1. A CTC launcher applet is downloaded from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card to your
computer.14-3
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 14 Cisco Transport Controller Operation
PC and UNIX Workstation Requirements
2. The launcher determines whether your computer has a CTC release matching the release on the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card.
3. If the computer does not have CTC installed, or if the installed release is older than the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card’s version, the launcher downloads the CTC program files from
the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card.
4. The launcher starts CTC. The CTC session is separate from the web browser session, so the web
browser is no longer needed. Always log into nodes having the latest software release. If you log
into an ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 that is connected with older versions of CTC, or to
Cisco ONS 15327s or Cisco ONS 15600s, CTC files are downloaded automatically to enable you to
interact with those nodes. The CTC file download occurs only when necessary, such as during your
first login. You cannot interact with nodes on the network that have a software version later than the
node that you used to launch CTC.
Each ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 can handle up to five concurrent CTC sessions. CTC
performance can vary, depending upon the volume of activity in each session, network bandwidth, and
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card load.
Note You can also use TL1 commands to communicate with ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 through
VT100 terminals and VT100 emulation software, or you can telnet to ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or
15454-M6 using TL1 ports 2361 and 3083. Refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide or
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH and Cisco ONS 15600 SDH TL1 Command Guide for a comprehensive list of
TL1 commands.
14.3 PC and UNIX Workstation Requirements
To use CTC for ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6, your computer must have a web browser with the
correct Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. The correct JRE for each CTC software release is
included on the ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 software CD. If you are running multiple CTC
software releases on a network, the JRE installed on the computer must be compatible with the different
software releases.
When you change the JRE version on the JRE tab, you must exit and restart CTC for the new JRE version
to take effect. Table 14-1 shows JRE compatibility with ONS 15454 software releases.

PC and UNIX Workstation Requirements
Note To avoid network performance issues, Cisco recommends managing a maximum of 50 nodes
concurrently with CTC. The 50 nodes can be on a single DCC or split across multiple DCCs. Cisco does
not recommend running multiple CTC sessions when managing two or more large networks.
To manage more than 50 nodes, Cisco recommends using Cisco Transport Manager (CTM). If you do
use CTC to manage more than 50 nodes, you can improve performance by adjusting the heap size; see
the “General Troubleshooting” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide. You
can also create login node groups; see the “Connect the PC and Log Into the GUI” chapter of the
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Table 14-2 lists the requirements for PCs and UNIX workstations. In addition to the JRE, the Java

14.5.2 Node View (Multishelf Mode), Node View (Single-Shelf Mode), and
Shelf View (Multishelf Mode)
Node view, shown in Figure 14-1, is the first view that appears after you log into a single-shelf
ONS 15454. Multishelf view, shown in Figure 14-2, is the first view that appears after you log into a
multishelf ONS 15454. The login node is the first node shown, and it is the “home view” for the session.
Multishelf view and node view allow you to manage one ONS 15454 node. The status area shows the
node name; IP address; session boot date and time; number of Critical (CR), Major (MJ), and Minor
(MN) alarms; name and security level of the current logged-in user; software version; and network
element default setup.
(On ONS 15454 and 15454-M6) In a multishelf mode, up to 30 shelves operate as a single node.
Note The reason for extending the number of subtending shelves to 30 is to accommodate and manage the new
optical and DWDM cards that operate in the even band frequency grid.
When you open a shelf from multishelf view, shelf view appears, which looks similar to node view but
does not contain the tabs and subtabs that are used for node-level operations.
14.5.2.1 CTC Card Colors
The graphic area of the CTC window depicts the ONS 15454 shelf assembly. The colors of the cards in
the graphic reflect the real-time status of the physical card and slot (Table 14-4).
On the ONS 15454 ETSI, the colors of the FMEC cards reflect the real-time status of the physical FMEC
cards. Table 14-5 lists the FMEC card colors. The FMEC ports shown in CTC do not change color.
Note You cannot preprovision FMECs.

Chapter 14 Cisco Transport Controller Operation
Using the CTC Launcher Application to Manage Multiple ONS Nodes
CTC Launcher provides two connection options. The first option is used to connect to ONS NEs that
have an IP connection to the CTC computer. The second option is used to connect to ONS NEs that reside
behind third party, OSI-based GNEs. For this option, CTC Launcher creates a TL1 tunnel to transport
the TCP traffic through the OSI-based GNE.
The TL1 tunnel transports the TCP traffic to and from ONS ENEs through the OSI-based GNE. TL1
tunnels are similar to the existing static IP-over-CLNS tunnels, GRE, and Cisco IP, that can be created
at ONS NEs using CTC. (Refer to the Cisco ONS product documentation for information about static
IP-over-CLNS tunnels.) However, unlike the static IP-over-CLNS tunnels, TL1 tunnels require no
provisioning at the ONS ENE, the third-party GNE, or DCN routers. All provisioning occurs at the CTC
computer when the CTC Launcher is started.
Figure 14-6 shows examples of two static IP-over-CLNS tunnels. A static Cisco IP tunnel is created from
ENE 1 through other vendor GNE 1 to a DCN router, and a static GRE tunnel is created from ONS ENE 2
to the other vender, GNE 2. For both static tunnels, provisioning is required on the ONS ENEs. In
addition, a Cisco IP tunnel must be provisioned on the DCN router and a GRE tunnel provisioned on
GNE 2.
Figure 14-6 Static IP-Over-CLNS Tunnels
Figure 14-7 shows the same network using TL1 tunnels. Tunnel provisioning occurs at the CTC
computer when the tunnel is created with the CTC Launcher. No provisioning is needed at ONS NEs,
GNEs, or routers.

Figure 14-7 TL1 Tunnels
TL1 tunnels provide several advantages over static IP-over-CLNS tunnels. Because tunnel provisioning
is needed only at the CTC computer, they are faster to set up. Because they use TL1 for TCP transport,
they are more secure. TL1 tunnels also provide better flow control. On the other hand, IP over CLNS
tunnels require less overhead and usually provide a slight performance edge over TL1 Tunnels
(depending on network conditions). TL1 tunnels do not support all IP applications such as SNMP and
RADIUS Authentication. Table 14-15 shows a comparison between the two types of tunnels.

TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC Card Reset
TL1 tunnel specifications and general capabilities include:
• Each tunnel generally supports between six to eight ENEs, depending on the number of tunnels at
the ENE.
• Each CTC session can support up to 32 tunnels.
• The TL1 tunnel database is stored locally in the CTC Preferences file.
• Automatic tunnel reconnection when the tunnel goes down.
• Each ONS NE can support at least 16 concurrent tunnels.
14.7 TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC Card Reset
You can soft reset the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card by using CTC or by physically resetting the
card (a hard reset). A soft reset reboots the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card and reloads the
operating system and the application software. Additionally, a hard reset temporarily removes power
from the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card and clears all the buffer memory.
You can apply a soft reset from CTC to either an active or standby TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card
without affecting traffic. If you need to perform a hard reset on an active TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC
card, put the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card into standby mode first by performing a soft reset.
Note Hard reset can also be performed on the TNC/TSC card through CTC and TL1 interface. Before
performing the hard reset, bring the TNC/TSC card to maintenance mode.
When you reset the standby TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card, the system traffic is not affected.
When you reset the active TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card, traffic switches to the standby card if
the standby card is present and in the ready standby state. If the standby card is not in the ready standby
state, traffic does not switch, and results in loss of system traffic and management connectivity until the
card reboots completely.
Potential to breach DCN
from DCC using IP.
Possible Not possible A potential exists to breach a DCN from a DCC using IP. This
potential does not exist for TL1 tunnels.
IP route management Expensive Automatic For static IP-over-CLNS tunnels, route changes require manual
provisioning at network routers, GNEs, and ENEs. For TL1
tunnels, route changes are automatic.

TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC Card Database
Caution When you reset the TNC/TSC card on the ONS 15454 or 15454-M6 shelves in simplex control mode,
loss of management connectivity happens until the card reboots. The system traffic loss may occur
depending on the line card and traffic type.
Note (Cisco ONS 15454 shelf) When a CTC reset is performed on an active TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 card, the
AIC-I card goes through an initialization process and also resets because it is controlled by the active
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 card.
14.8 TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC Card Database
When dual TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards are installed in the ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or
15454-M6 shelves, each TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card hosts a separate database; therefore, the
protect card database is available if the database on the working TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card
fails. You can also store a backup version of the database on the workstation running CTC. This
operation should be part of a regular ONS 15454, 15454-M2, or 15454-M6 maintenance program at
approximately weekly intervals, and should also be completed when preparing ONS 15454, 15454-M2,
or 15454-M6 for a pending natural disaster, such as a flood or fire.
The TNC card provides 4GB of nonvolatile database storage for communication, provisioning, and
system control. This allows full database recovery during power failure.
The configuration details are stored in the database of the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card. The
database restore from a TNC card to a TSC card or vice versa is not supported.
Note The following parameters are not backed up and restored: node name, IP address, mask and gateway, and
Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) port. If you change the node name and then restore a backed up
database with a different node name, the circuits map to the new node name. We recommend keeping a
record of the old and new node names.
14.9 Software Revert
When you click the Activate button after a software upgrade, the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card
copies the current working database and saves it in a reserved location in the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card flash memory. If later during the upgrade you need to revert to the
original working software load from the protect software load, the saved database installs automatically.
You do not need to restore the database manually or recreate circuits.
The revert feature is useful if the maintenance window in which you were performing an upgrade closes
while you are still upgrading CTC software. You can revert to the protect software load without losing
traffic. During the next maintenance window, you can complete the upgrade and activate the new
software load.
Circuits created or provisioning done after you activate a new software load (upgrade to a higher release)
will be lost with a revert. The database configuration at the time of activation is reinstated after a revert.
(This does not apply to maintenance reverts, such as Software R5.0.1 to Software R5.0.2, because
maintenance releases retain the database during activation.) 14-24
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 14 Cisco Transport Controller Operation
Software Revert
Caution Cisco does not recommend reverting after changing provisioning on the node. Depending upon the
particular provisioning, reverting in this case can be traffic affecting.
To perform a supported (non-service-affecting) revert from a software release that you have just
activated, the release you revert to must have been working at the time you first activated the new
software on that node. Because a supported revert automatically restores the node configuration at the
time of the previous activation, any configuration changes made after activation will be lost when you
revert the software. Downloading the software release that you are upgrading to a second time after you
have activated the new load ensures that no actual revert to a previous load can take place (the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC resets, but it does not affect the traffic and does not change your
database).
Note To perform a supported software upgrade or revert, you must consult the specific upgrade document and
release notes for the release you are upgrading to (or reverting from).CHAPTER

Security Reference
This chapter provides information about Cisco ONS 15454 users and security.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
Chapter topics include:
• 15.1 User IDs and Security Levels, page 15-1
• 15.2 User Privileges and Policies, page 15-2
• 15.3 Audit Trail, page 15-8
• 15.4 RADIUS Security, page 15-9
15.1 User IDs and Security Levels
The Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) ID is provided with the ONS 15454 system, but the system does
not display the user ID when you sign into CTC. This ID can be used to set up other ONS 15454 users.
You can have up to 500 user IDs on one ONS 15454. Each CTC or TL1 user can be assigned one of the
following security levels:
• Retrieve—Users can retrieve and view CTC information but cannot set or modify parameters.
• Maintenance—Users can access only the ONS 15454 maintenance options.
• Provisioning—Users can access provisioning and maintenance options.
• Superusers—Users can perform all of the functions of the other security levels as well as set names,
passwords, and security levels for other users.
See Table 15-3 on page 15-7 for idle user timeout information for each security level.
By default, multiple concurrent user ID sessions are permitted on the node, that is, multiple users can
log into a node using the same user ID. However, you can provision the node to allow only a single login
per user and prevent concurrent logins for all users.
Note You must add the same user name and password to each node the user accesses.15-2

User Privileges and Policies
15.2.2.1 Superuser Privileges for Provisioning Users
Superusers can grant permission to Provisioning users to perform a set of tasks. The tasks include
retrieving audit logs, restoring databases, clearing PMs, and activating and reverting software loads.
These privileges can be set only through CTC network element (NE) defaults, except the PM clearing
privilege, which can be granted to Provisioning users using CTC Provisioning> Security > Access tabs.
For more information on setting up Superuser privileges, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Procedure Guide.
15.2.2.2 Idle User Timeout
Each ONS 15454 CTC or TL1 user can be idle during his or her login session for a specified amount of
time before the CTC window is locked. The lockouts prevent unauthorized users from making changes.
Higher-level users have shorter default idle periods and lower-level users have longer or unlimited
default idle periods, as shown in Table 15-3.
15.2.2.3 User Password, Login, and Access Policies
Superusers can view real-time lists of users who are logged into CTC or TL1 user logins by node.
Superusers can also provision the following password, login, and node access policies:
• Password length, expiration and reuse—Superusers can configure the password length by using NE
defaults. The password length, by default, is set to a minimum of six and a maximum of 20
characters. You can configure the default values in CTC node view with the Provisioning > NE
Defaults > Node > security > password Complexity tabs. The minimum length can be set to eight,
ten or twelve characters, and the maximum length to 80 characters. The password must be a
combination of alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and special (+, #,%) characters, where at least two
characters are nonalphabetic and at least one character is a special character. Superusers can specify
when users must change their passwords and when they can reuse them.
• Locking out and disabling users—Superusers can provision the number of invalid logins that are
allowed before locking out users and the length of time before inactive users are disabled. The
number of allowed lockout attempts is set to the number of allowed login attempts.
• Node access and user sessions—Superusers can limit the number of CTC sessions one user can have,
and they can prohibit access to the ONS 15454 using the LAN or TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 RJ-45
connections.
In addition, a Superuser can select secure shell (SSH) instead of Telnet at the CTC Provisioning >
Security > Access tabs. SSH is a terminal-remote host Internet protocol that uses encrypted links. It
provides authentication and secure communication over unsecure channels. Port 22 is the default
port and cannot be changed.

Audit Trail
15.3 Audit Trail
The Cisco ONS 15454 maintains a Telcordia GR-839-CORE-compliant audit trail log that resides on the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card. Audit trails are useful for maintaining security, recovering lost
transactions and enforcing accountability. Accountability refers to tracing user activities; that is,
associating a process or action with a specific user. This record shows who has accessed the system and
what operations were performed during a given period of time. The log includes authorized Cisco logins
and logouts using the operating system command line interface, CTC, and TL1; the log also includes FTP
actions, circuit creation/deletion, and user/system generated actions.
Event monitoring is also recorded in the audit log. An event is defined as the change in status of an
element within the network. External events, internal events, attribute changes, and software
upload/download activities are recorded in the audit trail.
The audit trail is stored in persistent memory and is not corrupted by processor switches, resets or
upgrades. However, if a user pulls both TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards, the audit trail log is lost.
15.3.1 Audit Trail Log Entries
Table 15-4 contains the columns listed in Audit Trail window.
Audit trail records capture the following activities:
• User—Name of the user performing the action
• Host—Host from where the activity is logged
• Device ID—IP address of the device involved in the activity
• Application—Name of the application involved in the activity
• Task—Name of the task involved in the activity (view a dialog box, apply configuration, and so on)
• Connection Mode—Telnet, Console, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Category—Type of change: Hardware, Software, Configuration
• Status—Status of the user action: Read, Initial, Successful, Timeout, Failed
• Time—Time of change
• Message Type—Denotes whether the event is Success/Failure type
• Message Details—Description of the change

RADIUS Security
15.3.2 Audit Trail Capacities
The system is able to store 640 log entries.When this limit is reached, the oldest entries are overwritten
with new events. When the log server is 80 percent full, an AUD-LOG-LOW condition is raised and
logged (by way of Common Object Request Broker Architecture [CORBA]/CTC).
When the log server reaches a maximum capacity of 640 entries and begins overwriting records that were
not archived, an AUD-LOG-LOSS condition is raised and logged. This event indicates that audit trail
records have been lost. Until the user off-loads the file, this event occurs only once regardless of the
amount of entries that are overwritten by the system.
15.4 RADIUS Security
Superusers can configure nodes to use Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)
authentication. RADIUS uses a strategy known as authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA)
for verifying the identity of, granting access to, and tracking the actions of remote users. To configure
RADIUS authentication, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
RADIUS server supports IPv6 addresses and can process authentication requests from a GNE or an ENE
that uses IPv6 addresses.
15.4.1 RADIUS Authentication
RADIUS is a system of distributed security that secures remote access to networks and network services
against unauthorized access. RADIUS comprises three components:
• A protocol with a frame format that utilizes User Datagram Protocol (UDP)/IP
• A server
• A client
The server runs on a central computer typically at the customer's site, while the clients reside in the
dial-up access servers and can be distributed throughout the network.
An ONS 15454 node operates as a client of RADIUS. The client is responsible for passing user
information to designated RADIUS servers, and then acting on the response that is returned. RADIUS
servers are responsible for receiving user connection requests, authenticating the user, and returning all
configuration information necessary for the client to deliver service to the user. The RADIUS servers
can act as proxy clients to other kinds of authentication servers. Transactions between the client and
RADIUS server are authenticated through the use of a shared secret, which is never sent over the
network. In addition, any user passwords are sent encrypted between the client and RADIUS server. This
eliminates the possibility that someone snooping on an unsecured network could determine a user's
password.
15.4.2 Shared Secrets
A shared secret is a text string that serves as a password between:
• A RADIUS client and RADIUS server
• A RADIUS client and a RADIUS proxy
• A RADIUS proxy and a RADIUS server15-10
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 15 Security Reference
RADIUS Security
For a configuration that uses a RADIUS client, a RADIUS proxy, and a RADIUS server, the shared
secret that is used between the RADIUS client and the RADIUS proxy can be different than the shared
secret used between the RADIUS proxy and the RADIUS server.
Shared secrets are used to verify that RADIUS messages, with the exception of the Access-Request
message, are sent by a RADIUS-enabled device that is configured with the same shared secret. Shared
secrets also verify that the RADIUS message has not been modified in transit (message integrity). The
shared secret is also used to encrypt some RADIUS attributes, such as User-Password and
Tunnel-Password.
When creating and using a shared secret:
• Use the same case-sensitive shared secret on both RADIUS devices.
• Use a different shared secret for each RADIUS server-RADIUS client pair.
• To ensure a random shared secret, generate a random sequence at least 22 characters long.
• You can use any standard alphanumeric and special characters.
• You can use a shared secret of up to 128 characters in length. To protect your server and your
RADIUS clients from brute force attacks, use long shared secrets (more than 22 characters).
• Make the shared secret a random sequence of letters, numbers, and punctuation and change it often
to protect your server and your RADIUS clients from dictionary attacks. Shared secrets should
contain characters from each of the three groups listed in Table 15-5.
The stronger your shared secret, the more secure the attributes (for example, those used for passwords
and encryption keys) that are encrypted with it. An example of a strong shared secret is

including the timing mode, clock state and status, switch type, and reference data.
Caution Mixed timing allows you to select both external and line timing sources. However, Cisco does not
recommend its use because it can create timing loops. Use this mode with caution.
The OC3 port of the TNC/TSC card can be set as the timing reference. In the ONS 15454 M2 shelf,
BITS-2 is not supported.
16.2 Network Timing
Figure 16-1 shows an ONS 15454 network timing setup example. Node 1 is set to external timing. Two
timing references are set to BITS. These are Stratum 1 timing sources wired to the BITS input pins on
the Node 1 backplane. The third reference is set to internal clock. The BITS output pins on the backplane
of Node 3 are used to provide timing to outside equipment, such as a digital access line access
multiplexer.
In the example, Slots 5 and 6 contain the trunk (span) cards. Timing at Nodes 2, 3, and 4 is set to line,
and the timing references are set to the trunk cards based on distance from the BITS source. Reference 1
is set to the trunk card closest to the BITS source. At Node 2, Reference 1 is set to Slot 5 because it is
connected to Node 1. At Node 4, Reference 1 is set to Slot 6 because it is connected to Node 1. At
Node 3, Reference 1 could be either trunk card because they are at an equal distance from Node 1. 16-3

Synchronization Status Messaging
Figure 16-1 ONS 15454 Timing Example
16.3 Synchronization Status Messaging
Synchronization status messaging (SSM) is a SDH and SONET protocol that communicates information
about the quality of the timing source. SSM messages are carried on the S1 byte of the SONET Line
layer or on S1 byte of the SDH section overhead. They enable SONET or SDH devices to automatically
select the highest quality timing reference and to avoid timing loops.
SSM messages are either Generation 1 or Generation 2. Generation 1 is the first and most widely
deployed SSM message set. Generation 2 is a newer version. If you enable SSM for the ONS 15454 or
the ONS 15454 SDH, consult your timing reference documentation to determine which message set to
use.

Management Network Connectivity
This chapter provides an overview of ONS 15454 data communications network (DCN) connectivity.
Cisco Optical Networking System (ONS) network communication is based on IP, including
communication between Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) computers and ONS 15454 nodes, and
communication among networked ONS 15454 nodes. The chapter shows common Cisco ONS 15454 IP
network configurations and includes detailed data communications network (DCN) case studies that are
based on actual ONS 15454 installations. The chapter provides information about the ONS 15454 IP
routing table, external firewalls, and open gateway network element (GNE) networks.
Although ONS 15454 DCN communication is based on IP, ONS 15454 nodes can be networked to
equipment that is based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocol suites. This chapter also
describes the ONS 15454 OSI implementation and provides scenarios that show how the ONS 15454 can
be networked within a mixed IP and OSI environment.
This chapter does not provide a comprehensive explanation of IP networking concepts and procedures,
nor does it provide IP addressing examples to meet all networked scenarios. For ONS 15454 networking
setup instructions, refer to the “Turn Up a Node” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure
Guide.
Note Unless otherwise specified, in this chapter “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.

Note To connect ONS 15454s to an IP network, you must work with a LAN administrator or other individual
at your site who has IP networking training and experience.
17.1 IP Networking Overview
ONS 15454s can be connected in many different ways within an IP environment:
• They can be connected to LANs through direct connections or a router.
• IP subnetting can create ONS 15454 node groups that allow you to provision nodes in a network that
are not connected with a data communications channel (DCC).
• Different IP functions and protocols can be used to achieve specific network goals. For example,
Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) enables one LAN-connected ONS 15454 to serve as a
gateway for ONS 15454s that are not connected to the LAN.
• Static routes can be created to enable connections among multiple CTC sessions with ONS 15454s
that reside on the same subnet with multiple CTC sessions.
• ONS 15454s can be connected to Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) networks so ONS 15454 network
information is automatically communicated across multiple LANs and WANs.
• The ONS 15454 proxy server can control the visibility and accessibility between CTC computers
and ONS 15454 element nodes.
17.2 IP Addressing Scenarios
ONS 15454 IP addressing generally has nine common scenarios or configurations. Use the scenarios as
building blocks for more complex network configurations. Table 17-1 provides a general list of items to
check when setting up ONS 15454s in IP networks.

Item What to Check
Link integrity Verify that link integrity exists between:
• CTC computer and network hub/switch
• ONS 15454s (backplane [ANSI] or MIC-C/T/P [ETSI] wire-wrap pins or
RJ-45 port) and network hub/switch
• Router ports and hub/switch ports

IP Addressing Scenarios
17.2.1 Scenario 1: CTC and ONS15454s on Same Subnet
Scenario 1 shows a basic ONS 15454 LAN configuration (Figure 17-1). The ONS 15454s and CTC
computer reside on the same subnet. All ONS 15454s connect to LAN A, and all ONS 15454s have DCC
connections.
Figure 17-1 Scenario 1: CTC and ONS 15454s on Same Subnet (ANSI and ETSI)
17.2.2 Scenario 2: CTC and ONS15454s Connected to a Router
In Scenario 2, the CTC computer resides on a subnet (192.168.1.0) and attaches to LAN A (Figure 17-2).
The ONS 15454s reside on a different subnet (192.168.2.0) and attach to LAN B. A router connects LAN
A to LAN B. The IP address of router interface A is set to LAN A (192.168.1.1), and the IP address of
router interface B is set to LAN B (192.168.2.1). The routers each have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Verify that ONS 15454 IP addresses and subnet masks are set up correctly.
Optical connectivity Verify that ONS 15454 optical trunk ports are in service and that a DCC is
enabled on each trunk port.

IP Addressing Scenarios
On the CTC computer, the default gateway is set to router interface A. If the LAN uses Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), the default gateway and IP address are assigned automatically. In the
Figure 17-2 example, a DHCP server is not available.
Figure 17-2 Scenario 2: CTC and ONS 15454s Connected to Router (ANSI and ETSI)
17.2.3 Scenario 3: Using Proxy ARP to Enable an ONS15454 Gateway
ARP matches higher-level IP addresses to the physical addresses of the destination host. It uses a lookup
table (called ARP cache) to perform the translation. When the address is not found in the ARP cache, a
broadcast is sent out on the network with a special format called the ARP request. If one of the machines
on the network recognizes its own IP address in the request, it sends an ARP reply back to the requesting
host. The reply contains the physical hardware address of the receiving host. The requesting host stores
this address in its ARP cache so that all subsequent datagrams (packets) to this destination IP address
can be translated to a physical address.
Proxy ARP enables one LAN-connected ONS 15454 to respond to the ARP request for ONS 15454s not
connected to the LAN. (ONS 15454 proxy ARP requires no user configuration.) For this to occur, the
DCC-connected ONS 15454s must reside on the same subnet as the LAN-connected (gateway)

Chapter 17 Management Network Connectivity
IP Addressing Scenarios
ONS 15454. When a LAN device sends an ARP request to an ONS 15454 that is not connected to the
LAN, the gateway ONS 15454 (the one connected to the LAN) returns its MAC address to the LAN
device. The LAN device then sends the datagram for the remote ONS 15454 to the MAC address of the
proxy ONS 15454. The proxy ONS 15454 uses its routing table to forward the datagram to the non-LAN
ONS 15454.
Scenario 3 is similar to Scenario 1, but only one ONS 15454 (Node 1) connects to the LAN
(Figure 17-3). Two ONS 15454s (Node 2 and Node 3) connect to ONS 15454 Node 1 through the section
DCC. Because all three ONS 15454s are on the same subnet, proxy ARP enables ONS 15454 Node 1 to
serve as a gateway for ONS 15345 Node 2 and Node 3.
Note This scenario assumes all CTC connections are to Node 1. If you connect a laptop to either ONS 15454
Node 2 or Node 3, network partitioning occurs; neither the laptop or the CTC computer can see all nodes.
If you want laptops to connect directly to end network elements (ENEs), you must create static routes
(see the “17.2.5 Scenario 5: Using Static Routes to Connect to LANs” section on page 17-8) or enable
the ONS 15454 proxy server (see “17.2.7 Scenario 7: Provisioning the ONS 15454 Proxy Server”
section on page 17-12).
Be aware that:
• GNE and ENE 15454 proxy ARP is disabled.
• There is exactly one proxy ARP server on any given Ethernet segment; however, there might be more
than one server in an ANSI or ETSI topology.
• The proxy ARP server does not perform the proxy ARP function for any node or host that is on the
same Ethernet segment.
• It is important in Figure 17-3 that the CTC workstation be located within the same subnet and on
the same Ethernet segment as the proxy ARP server.17-6

IP Addressing Scenarios
Figure 17-3 Scenario 3: Using Proxy ARP (ANSI and ETSI)
You can also use proxy ARP to communicate with hosts attached to the craft Ethernet ports of
DCC-connected nodes (Figure 17-4). The node with an attached host must have a static route to the host.
Static routes are propagated to all DCC peers using OSPF. The existing proxy ARP node is the gateway
for additional hosts. Each node examines its routing table for routes to hosts that are not connected to
the DCC network but are within the subnet. The existing proxy server replies to ARP requests for these
additional hosts with the node MAC address. The existence of the host route in the routing table ensures
that the IP packets addressed to the additional hosts are routed properly. Other than establishing a static
route between a node and an additional host, no provisioning is necessary. The following restrictions
apply:
• Only one node acts as the proxy ARP server for any given additional host.
• A node cannot be the proxy ARP server for a host connected to its Ethernet port.
In Figure 17-4, Node 1 announces to Node 2 and 3 that it can reach the CTC host. Similarly, Node 3
announces that it can reach the ONS 152xx. The ONS 152xx is shown as an example; any network
element can be set up as an additional host.

17.2.5 Scenario 5: Using Static Routes to Connect to LANs
Static routes are used for two purposes:
• To connect ONS 15454s to CTC sessions on one subnet connected by a router to ONS 15454s
residing on another subnet. (These static routes are not needed if OSPF is enabled. Scenario 6 shows
an OSPF example.)
• To enable multiple CTC sessions among ONS 15454s residing on the same subnet.
In Figure 17-6, one CTC residing on subnet 192.168.1.0 connects to a router through interface A (the
router is not set up with OSPF). ONS 15454s residing on different subnets are connected through Node 1
to the router through interface B. Because Nodes 2 and 3 are on different subnets, proxy ARP does not
enable Node 1 as a gateway. To connect to CTC computers on LAN A, a static route is created on
Node 1.

17.2.6 Scenario 6: Using OSPF
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link state Internet routing protocol. Link state protocols use a “hello
protocol” to monitor their links with adjacent routers and to test the status of their links to their
neighbors. Link state protocols advertise their directly connected networks and their active links. Each
link state router captures the link state “advertisements” and puts them together to create a topology of
the entire network or area. From this database, the router calculates a routing table by constructing a
shortest path tree. Routes are recalculated when topology changes occur.
ONS 15454s use the OSPF protocol in internal ONS 15454 networks for node discovery, circuit routing,
and node management. You can enable OSPF on the ONS 15454s so that the ONS 15454 topology is
sent to OSPF routers on a LAN. Advertising the ONS 15454 network topology to LAN routers

eliminates the need to manually enter static routes for ONS 15454 subnetworks. Figure 17-8 shows a
network enabled for OSPF. Figure 17-9 shows the same network without OSPF. Static routes must be
manually added to the router for CTC computers on LAN A to communicate with Nodes 2 and 3 because
these nodes reside on different subnets.
OSPF divides networks into smaller regions, called areas. An area is a collection of networked end
systems, routers, and transmission facilities organized by traffic patterns. Each OSPF area has a unique
ID number, known as the area ID. Every OSPF network has one backbone area called “area 0.” All other
OSPF areas must connect to area 0.
When you enable an ONS 15454 OSPF topology for advertising to an OSPF network, you must assign
an OSPF area ID in decimal format to the ONS 15454 network. An area ID is a “dotted quad” value that
appears similar to an IP address. Coordinate the area ID number assignment with your LAN
administrator. All DCC-connected ONS 15454s should be assigned the same OSPF area ID.
Note It is recommended that the number of ONS 15454s in an OSPF area be limited, because this allows faster
loading into a CTC an is less likely to incur any problems.

17.2.7 Scenario 7: Provisioning the ONS15454 Proxy Server
The ONS 15454 proxy server is a set of functions that allows you to network ONS 15454s in
environments where visibility and accessibility between ONS 15454s and CTC computers must be
restricted. For example, you can set up a network so that field technicians and network operations center
(NOC) personnel can both access the same ONS 15454s while preventing the field technicians from
accessing the NOC LAN. To do this, one ONS 15454 is provisioned as a GNE and the other ONS 15454s
are provisioned as end ENEs. The GNE ONS 15454 tunnels connections between CTC computers and
ENE ONS 15454s, providing management capability while preventing access for non-ONS 15454
management purposes.

Chapter 17 Management Network Connectivity
IP Addressing Scenarios
The ONS 15454 gateway setting performs the following tasks:
• Isolates DCC IP traffic from Ethernet (craft port) traffic and accepts packets based on filtering rules.
The filtering rules (see Table 17-3 on page 17-17 and Table 17-4 on page 17-17) depend on whether
the packet arrives at the ONS 15454 DCC or TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC Ethernet interface.
• Processes Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) and Network Time Protocol (NTP) requests.
ONS 15454 ENEs can derive time-of-day from an SNTP/NTP LAN server through the GNE
ONS 15454.
• Processes Simple Network Management Protocol version 1 (SNMPv1) traps. The GNE ONS 15454
receives SNMPv1 traps from the ENE ONS 15454s and forwards or relays the traps to SNMPv1 trap
destinations or ONS 15454 SNMP relay nodes.
The ONS 15454 proxy server is provisioned using the Enable proxy server on port check box on the
Provisioning > Network > General tab. If checked, the ONS 15454 serves as a proxy for connections
between CTC clients and ONS 15454s that are DCC-connected to the proxy ONS 15454. The CTC client
establishes connections to DCC-connected nodes through the proxy node. The CTC client can connect
to nodes that it cannot directly reach from the host on which it runs. If not selected, the node does not
proxy for any CTC clients, although any established proxy connections continue until the CTC client
exits. In addition, you can set the proxy server as an ENE or a GNE:
• External Network Element (ENE)—If set as an ENE, the ONS 15454 neither installs nor advertises
default or static routes that go through its Ethernet port. However, an ENE does install and advertise
routes that go through the DCC. CTC computers can communicate with the ONS 15454 using the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC craft port, but they cannot communicate directly with any other
DCC-connected ONS 15454.
In addition, firewall is enabled, which means that the node prevents IP traffic from being routed
between the DCC and the LAN port. The ONS 15454 can communicate with machines connected to
the LAN port or connected through the DCC. However, the DCC-connected machines cannot
communicate with the LAN-connected machines, and the LAN-connected machines cannot
communicate with the DCC-connected machines. A CTC client using the LAN to connect to the
firewall-enabled node can use the proxy capability to manage the DCC-connected nodes that would
otherwise be unreachable. A CTC client connected to a DCC-connected node can only manage other
DCC-connected nodes and the firewall itself.
• Gateway Network Element (GNE)—If set as a GNE, the CTC computer is visible to other
DCC-connected nodes and firewall is enabled.
• SOCKS Proxy-only—If Proxy-only is selected, firewall is not enabled. CTC can communicate with
any other DCC-connected ONS 15454s.
Note If you launch CTC against a node through a Network Address Translation (NAT) or Port Address
Translation (PAT) router and that node does not have proxy enabled, your CTC session starts and initially
appears to be fine. However CTC never receives alarm updates and disconnects and reconnects every two
minutes. If the proxy is accidentally disabled, it is still possible to enable the proxy during a reconnect
cycle and recover your ability to manage the node, even through a NAT/PAT firewall.
Note ENEs that belong to different private subnetworks do not need to have unique IP addresses. Two ENEs
that are connected to different GNEs can have the same IP address. However, ENEs that connect to the
same GNE must always have unique IP addresses.17-14

IP Addressing Scenarios
Figure 17-10 shows an ONS 15454 proxy server implementation. A GNE ONS 15454 is connected to a
central office LAN and to ENE ONS 15454s. The central office LAN is connected to a NOC LAN, which
has CTC computers. The NOC CTC computer and craft technicians must both be able to access the
ONS 15454 ENEs. However, the craft technicians must be prevented from accessing or seeing the NOC
or central office LANs.
In the example, the ONS 15454 GNE is assigned an IP address within the central office LAN and is
physically connected to the LAN through its LAN port. ONS 15454 ENEs are assigned IP addresses that
are outside the central office LAN and given private network IP addresses. If the ONS 15454 ENEs are
collocated, the craft LAN ports could be connected to a hub. However, the hub should have no other
network connections.

Chapter 17 Management Network Connectivity
IP Addressing Scenarios
If you implement the proxy server, note that all DCC-connected ONS 15454s on the same Ethernet
segment must have the same gateway setting. Mixed values produce unpredictable results, and might
leave some nodes unreachable through the shared Ethernet segment.
If nodes become unreachable, correct the setting by performing one of the following:
• Disconnect the craft computer from the unreachable ONS 15454. Connect to the ONS 15454
through another network ONS 15454 that has a DCC connection to the unreachable ONS 15454.
• Disconnect all DCCs to the node by disabling them on neighboring nodes. Connect a CTC computer
directly to the ONS 15454 and change its provisioning.
17.2.8 Scenario 8: Dual GNEs on a Subnet
The ONS 15454 provides GNE load balancing, which allows CTC to reach ENEs over multiple GNEs
without the ENEs being advertised over OSPF. This feature allows a network to quickly recover from
the loss of GNE, even if the GNE is on a different subnet. If a GNE fails, all connections through that
GNE fail. CTC disconnects from the failed GNE and from all ENEs for which the GNE was a proxy, and
then reconnects through the remaining GNEs. GNE load balancing reduces the dependency on the launch
GNE and DCC bandwidth, both of which enhance CTC performance.
Note Dual GNEs do not need special provisioning
Figure 17-13 shows a network with dual GNEs on the same subnet.

17.2.9 Scenario 9: IP Addressing with Secure Mode Enabled
The TCC2, TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, and TSC cards default to repeater mode. In this mode, the front and
back Ethernet (LAN) ports share a single MAC address and IP address. TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, and TSC
cards allow you to place a node in secure mode, which prevents a front-access craft port user from
accessing the LAN through the backplane port. Secure mode can be locked, which prevents the mode
from being altered. To place a node in secure mode or to lock secure node, refer to the “Manage the
Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
17.2.9.1 Secure Mode Behavior
Changing a TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, or TSC node from repeater mode to secure mode allows you to
provision two IP addresses for the ONS 15454 and causes the node to assign the ports different MAC
addresses. In secure mode, one IP address is provisioned for the ONS 15454 backplane LAN port, and

IP Addressing Scenarios
the other IP address is provisioned for the card Ethernet port. Both addresses reside on different subnets,
providing an additional layer of separation between the craft access port and the ONS 15454 LAN. If
secure mode is enabled, the IP addresses provisioned for the backplane LAN port and card Ethernet port
must follow general IP addressing guidelines and must reside on different subnets from each other.
In secure mode, the IP address assigned to the backplane LAN port becomes a private address, which
connects the node to an operations support system (OSS) through a central office LAN or private
enterprise network. A Superuser can configure the node to hide or reveal the backplane's LAN IP address
in CTC, the routing table, or TL1 autonomous message reports.
In repeater mode, a node can be a GNE or ENE. Placing the node into secure mode automatically turns
on SOCKS proxy and defaults the node to GNE status. However, the node can be changed back to an
ENE. In repeater mode, an ENE’s SOCKS proxy can be disabled—effectively isolating the node beyond
the LAN firewall—but it cannot be disabled in secure mode. To change a node’s GNE or ENE status and
disable the SOCKS proxy, refer to the “Turn Up a Node” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Procedure Guide.
Caution Enabling secure mode causes the TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, and TSC cards to reboot; the card reboot affects
traffic.
Note The secure mode option does not appear in CTC if TCC2 cards are installed. If one TCC2 and one
TCC2P card are installed in a node, secure mode will appear in CTC but it cannot be modified.
Note If both front and backplane access ports are disabled in an ENE and the node is isolated from DCC
communication (due to user provisioning or network faults), the front and backplane ports are
automatically reenabled.

17.2.9.2 Secure Node Locked and Unlocked Behavior
Secure mode can be locked or unlocked on a node operating in secure mode. The default status is
unlocked, and only a Superuser can issue a lock. When secure mode is locked, the node’s configuration
(including Ethernet port status) and lock status cannot be changed by any network user. To have a secure
node’s lock removed, contact Cisco Technical Support to arrange a Return Material Authorization
(RMA) for the shelf assembly. See the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request”
section on page lxx as needed. Enabling a lock makes a permanent change to the shelf’s EEPROM.
A node’s configuration lock is maintained if the active TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, or TSC card’s database is
reloaded. For example, if you attempt to load an unlocked node database onto a locked node’s standby
TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, or TSC card for transfer to the active TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, or TSC card (an action
that is not recommended), the unlocked node’s status (via the uploaded database) will not override the
node’s lock status. If you attempt to load a locked database onto the standby TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, or
TSC card of an unlocked secure node, the active TCC2P, TCC3, TNC, or TSC card will upload the
database. If the uploaded defaults indicate a locked status, this will cause the node to become locked. If
a software load has been customized before a lock is enabled, all lockable provisioning features are
permanently set to the customized NE defaults provided in the load and cannot be changed by any user.

17.3 DCN Case Studies
The ONS 15454 network is managed over the IP DCN and the optical service channels (OSCs), DCCs,
and generic communications channels (GCCs). ONS 15454s perform many of the same functions as
Layer 3 routers because they manage traffic between the DCN network management system (NMS) and
the dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical networks.
This section provides case studies that show different ways an ONS 15454 network can be implemented
within the DCN. The case studies are based on actual field installations. They include the network
problem, the network topology created to solve it, IP addressing examples, and strengths and weaknesses
of the solution. Routing principles followed throughout the case studies include:
• If the ONS 15454 is connected to a DCN router, the default gateway points to the router.
• If the default gateway must advertise to the OSC/DCC/GCC network, a static route is added for the
default gateway.
• If the network element (NE) is not connected to a DCN router, the default gateway is set to 0.0.0.0.
17.3.1 SOCKS Proxy Settings
SOCKS proxy (described in the “17.2.7 Scenario 7: Provisioning the ONS 15454 Proxy Server” section
on page 17-12) enables the ONS 15454 to serve as a proxy for connections between CTC clients and
ONS 15454 nodes connected by OSCs, GCCs, or DCCs. Although SOCKS proxy can make DCN
implementations easier, it should not be used when any of the following conditions exist:
• Network management is based on SNMP and SNMP traps. The ONS 15454 can proxy SNMP traps,
but if a redundant DCN connection is required, trap duplication on the network management
platform will occur.
• Telnet and debug session are required. These are not possible over SOCKS proxy.
• Direct IP connectivity to every node is required.
If these conditions are not present and no requirement to have direct IP connectivity to every node exists
(that is, management is performed using CTC and/or Cisco Transport Manager [CTM]), Cisco
recommends that you use the SOCKS proxy only option for all nodes that connect to a DCN router.
17.3.2 OSPF
Activating OSPF (described in the “17.2.6 Scenario 6: Using OSPF” section on page 17-10) on the
ONS 15454 LAN interface is another option that can be used to create resilient DCN connections.
However, this option can only be enabled if every element in the network, from the NEs to the NOC,
runs OSPF. This is not always possible, for example, the DCN connections might be on a public network
out of the control of the organization using the ONS 15454 network. If you are considering enabling
OSPF on the LAN, the following limitations must be considered:
• If OSPF is enabled on the LAN, the internal OSC/DCC/GCC OSPF area cannot be 0.0.0.0.
• The ONS 15454 can act as an OSPF area border gateway and support OSPF virtual links. However,
virtual links cannot pass over the OSC/DCC/GCC network.
If all elements in the DCN network are not running OSPF, enabling OSPF on the LAN is very difficult
without creating isolated areas and/or segmentation of OSPF area 0. However, if the DCN network is a
full OSPF network, enabling OSPF on the LAN might be employed for resilient DCN networks.17-24

17.3.3 Management of Non-LAN Connected Multishelf Node
When using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) multishelf management feature to
subtend shelves from a node controller shelf, the Node Controller must be specially provisioned in case
it does not have direct LAN reachability.
Non-LAN connected Multishelf nodes are not manageable from CTC unless SOCKS Proxy is enabled
on the node. In a GNE/ENE firewall configuration, non-LAN connected network elements must be set
up as end network elements (ENEs) if Firewall is required. If firewall is not required on the non-LAN
connected Multishelf node, then the node must be set up as SOCKS Proxy
LAN-connected network elements (LNEs) can be set up as gateway network elements (GNEs) or as
SOCKS proxies, depending upon network security requirements. If the GNE/ENE firewall feature is
required, the LNE must be set up as a GNE. If the design does not require the firewall feature but does
require all-IP networking, the LNE must be set up as a SOCKS proxy. For procedures to provision a node
or shelf as a GNE, ENE or SOCKS proxy, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
17.3.4 DCN Case Study 1: Ring Topology with Two Subnets and Two DCN
Connections
DCN Case Study 1 (Figure 17-17) shows an ONS 15454 ring (DWDM or SONET/SDH). The ring is
divided into two subnets and has two DCN connections for resiliency.

DCN Case Studies
During normal operation, this configuration balances the management traffic load over the two available
DCN connections. If one of the two DCN connections fails, the second DCN connection maintains
accessibility so NE management can continue. However, if complete IP connectivity is required, for
example, for SNMP when SOCKS proxy cannot be used, connection resilience is difficult to achieve
because:
• The ONS 15454 does not support route overloading. Configuring different routers with different
costs for the same network destination is not possible.
• The ONS 15454 always tries to route traffic on the LAN interface when its link is up, and the link
on the NE connected to DCN router is always up.
• If the DCN connection fails, the route is longer available.
One solution is to create a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel to logically connect the remote
Router 1 and remote Router 2 using the OSC/DCC/GCC network (Figure 17-18). With the GRE tunnel,
both remote routers have an alternate path to reach the NOC network in case of DCN failure. However,
the alternate path might become overloaded on the routing tables, resulting in higher costs.

The host routing path to the Router 1 (192.168.100.1) points to the ONS 15454 network (by
192.168.200.77). This is required to set up the GRE tunnel. In this configuration, only the external route
to 10.0.0.0 (that includes the NOC network) is overloaded with the alternate path. However, overloading
the last-resort route might occur. Table 17-5 shows network settings on the four ONS 15454 nodes. The
static routes are created so the DCN-connected nodes advertise their capability to act as last-resort
routers.
17.3.4.2 DCN Case Study 1 Limitations
DCN Case Study 1 shows how a GRE tunnel can be created between two routers to create DCN
connection resiliency. While the resiliency is a benefit, when a DCN failure forces traffic to the GRE
tunnel, the path calculated by the ONS 15454 OSPF algorithm running in the OSC/DCC/GCC network
is no longer the shortest one. Subsequently, the round-trip delay time (RTT) might increase significantly
because the DCN protection in this configuration is transparent to the ONS 15454 network. The ONS
15454 continues to use the same routing table. In addition, if a DCN failure occurs, the routing path that
uses the GRE tunnel adds additional latency because of the number and length of OSC/DCC/GCC spans
that the tunnel has to travel over the ONS 15454 network.
This latency makes this DCN Case Study 1 solution difficult to scale to large networks. If this solution
is used and the network grows significantly, a larger number of DCN-connected NEs are required. For
example, the common rule in ONS 15454 DCN design is that all nodes should be within five section data
communications channel (LDCC)/regeneration section DCC (RS-DCC/OSC or eight line DCC (LDCC)
/multiplex section DCC (MS-DCC) spans from the network attached node. If Case Study 1 design is
implemented, the maximum span numbers should be cut in half. However, if the DCN Case Study 1
design is used in networks that have full IP routing, have connectivity to every NE, and require only
CTC/CTM management, the SOCKS proxy feature can be used to provide the same DCN connectivity
resilience.

17.3.5 DCN Case Study 2: Linear Topology with DCN Connections on Both Ends
DCN Case Study 2, shown in Figure 17-19, shows a four-node linear topology with DCN connectivity
at both ends.
Figure 17-19 DCN Case Study 2: ONS 15454 Linear Topology with DCN Connections at Both Ends
To maintain DCN resilience, static routes are used and a GRE tunnel is created between Router 1 and
Router 2 over the DCC/OSC/GCC optical link. In this example, all ONS 15454s are part of the same
subnet. Therefore, the Router 1 and Router 2 static route tables have more entries because alternate paths
must be configured for every host.

the last-resort route might also occur.
Table 17-6 shows network settings on the four ONS 15454 nodes. The static routes are created so the
DCN-connected nodes advertise their capability to act as last-resort routers.
17.3.5.2 DCN Case Study 2 Limitations
The linear configuration in DCN Case Study 2 does not effectively protect the management network
communication for every fiber failure because the DCN router is not notified of the failures. Therefore,
it continues to send packets on the low-cost path. This problem does not occur in ring topologies where
the fiber failure is internally protected from the optical ring network. However, the OSPF dynamic
routing protocol can be used over the DCN network to provide a solution to this problem. An OSPF
configuration is shown in DCN Case Study 3.
17.3.6 DCN Case Study 3: Linear Topology with DCN Connections on Both Ends
Using OSPF Routing
DCN Case Study 3 is the same linear topology as DCN Case Study 2 except OSPF routing is used on the
DCN network. This requires the OSPF active on LAN option, located on the node view (single-shelf
mode) or multishelf view (multishelf mode) Provisioning > Network > OSPF tab, to be enabled at the
end ONS 15454 nodes. In addition, OSPF must be running between Router 1, Router 2, and the NOC
router.
Because the DCN connection usually passes over a public network where OSPF is not always an option,
the connection between Router 1, Router 2, and the NOC router is configured as a GRE tunnel so OSPF
can run on the tunnel itself.
Figure 17-20 shows the linear configuration with the separate OSPF areas, the tunnel connections, and
the required OSPF virtual link. (The physical connections where the tunnels are passed are not shown in
the figure because they are not directly part of the actual routing path.)

DCN Case Studies
The OSPF virtual link requires its neighbor to be indicated with its router ID, not the physical or tunnel
interface connected to the network. Using a loopback interface on the NOC router makes the router ID
selection independent from real interface IP address.
17.3.6.2 DCN Case Study 3 Limitations
DCN Case Study 3 shows that OSPF can provide better DCN resilience and more efficient routing
choices, which results in better performance. OSPF also provides better network scalability. Some
limitations of using OSPF include:
• OSPF introduces additional complexity, for example, provisioning the OSPF virtual links and
advertisement on the ONS 15454s and routers requires thought and planning.
• OSPF must be enabled on the DCN connection between the NOC and the site routers. This can also
be done through GRE tunnels, as shown in this case study.
• Planning and thought must be given to the separation of the OSPF areas. Creation of virtual links to
overcome the limitations described in the “17.3.2 OSPF” section on page 17-23 and to avoid
isolated areas and segmentation in the backbone area requires planning as well.
17.3.7 DCN Case Study 4: Two Linear Cascaded Topologies With Two DCN
Connections
DCN Case Study 4, shown in Figure 17-21, extends the simple linear topology shown in DCN Case
Study 3. However in this example, two linear DCN connections go to the same site router and all the
ONS 15454s are in the same subnet. A GRE tunnel logically connects the remote Router 1 and Router 2
over the OSC/DCC/GCC network, which is similar to the DCN Case Study 1 configuration
(Figure 17-18). The GRE tunnel provides the remote routers with an alternate path to reach the NOC
network in case a DCN failure occurs. However, the alternate paths might overload the router routing
tables and carry a higher cost because all alternate paths are host-based due to the fact the ONS 15454s
reside in the same subnet.

ONS 15454 network (by 192.168.100.80). This is required to set up the GRE tunnel. In this
configuration, only the external route to 10.0.0.0 (that includes the NOC network) is overloaded with the

configuration, only the external route to 10.0.0.0 (that include the NOC network) is overloaded with the
alternate path. However, overloading the last-resort route is also possible.
Table 17-8 shows network settings on the four ONS 15454 nodes. The static routes are created so the
DCN-connected nodes can advertise their capability to act as last-resort routers.
17.3.7.2 DCN Case Study 4 Limitations
Many limitations described in the “17.3.4.2 DCN Case Study 1 Limitations” section on page 17-27 also
apply to this case study. However, the problems are less acute because of the DCN connection in the
middle of the optical network. For DWDM networks, increased latency might became a problem if the
linear topology has many spans with intermediate line amplifier or optical add/drop multiplexing
(OADM) nodes, which is sometimes done to cover long-distance connections. In this case, when one
DCN fails, management packets for nodes near the middle of the span travel 1.5 times the complete
point-to-point connection. The normal routing figure is 0.5. The full connection length of a GRE tunnel
is used as an alternate routing path.
17.4 DCN Extension
ONS 15454 DWDM networks require a communication channel to exchange data among the different
nodes within the network. Until Software Release 7.0, the only usable channel was the optical service
channel (OSC) provided by the OSCM and OSC-CSM cards. In a long DWDM metro network, usage of
OSC channel adds limitations in terms of cost and performance because the OSC channel maximum loss
is 37 dB.
The primary aim of the DCN extension feature is to remove the OSC constraint and leverage on already
available external DCN or traffic matrix that allows nodes to be reached without using an OSC channel.
You can connect two nodes in a DWDM network without using an OSC channel in the following two
methods:
• Using external DCN
• Using GCC/DCC

DCN Extension
The following sections describe the different communication methods and the factors to be considered
while provisioning the connectivity.
17.4.1 Network Using OSC
Figure 17-22 shows a point-to-point network that uses OSC as the communication channel.
Figure 17-22 Network Using OSC
In a network using OSC channel, it is possible to supervise all the nodes from the network operations
center (NOC) and all nodes can communicate with each other using the OSC channel. Network topology
discovery is automatic when you use an OSC channel.
17.4.2 Network Using External DCN
Figure 17-23 shows a point-to-point network that uses external DCN as the communication channel.
Figure 17-23 Network Using External DCN
In a network using external DCN, it is possible to supervise all the nodes from the network operations
center (NOC) and all nodes can communicate with each other using external DCN. The NOC is
connected to each node through the external DCN. Since nodes do not have OSC connectivity, you must

create an OTS-to-OTS PPC between the nodes. The OTS-to-OTS PPC creates a DCN connection
between the nodes. Refer to the “Create Circuits and Provisionable Patchcords” chapter in the Cisco
ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide for instructions on how to provision an OTS-to-OTS PPC.
17.4.3 Network Using GCC/DCC
Figure 17-24 shows a point-to-point network that uses GCC/DCC as the communication channel.
Figure 17-24 Network Using GCC/DCC
In a network using GCC/DCC, one ONS 15454 node (for example, Node A) is provisioned as a gateway
network element (GNE). The NOC is connected only to the GNE. It is possible to supervise all the nodes
from the network operations center (NOC) and all nodes can communicate with each other using
GCC/DCC.
However in such a network, because of the absence of the embedded OSC channel, discovery of the
network topology is not automatic. You must manually provision the adjacency of nodes in order to
configure the correct topology. Refer to the “Create Circuits and Provisionable Patchcords” chapter in
the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide for instructions on how to provision DCN extension for
a network using GCC/DCC.
17.5 Routing Table
ONS 15454 routing information is displayed on the Maintenance > Routing Table tab. The routing table
provides the following information:
• Destination—Displays the IP address of the destination network or host.
• Mask—Displays the subnet mask used to reach the destination host or network.
• Gateway—Displays the IP address of the gateway used to reach the destination network or host.
• Usage—Shows the number of times the listed route has been used.
• Interface—Shows the ONS 15454 interface used to access the destination. Values are:
– motfcc0—The ONS 15454 Ethernet interface, that is, the RJ-45 jack on the
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3 and, for ANSI shelves, the LAN 1 pins on the backplane or, for ETSI
shelves, the LAN connection on the MIC-C/T/P.

Table 17-9 shows sample routing entries for an ONS 15454.
Entry 1 shows the following:
• Destination (0.0.0.0) is the default route entry. All undefined destination network or host entries on
this routing table are mapped to the default route entry.
• Mask (0.0.0.0) is always 0 for the default route.
• Gateway (172.20.214.1) is the default gateway address. All outbound traffic that cannot be found in
this routing table or is not on the node’s local subnet is sent to this gateway.
• Interface (motfcc0) indicates that the ONS 15454 Ethernet interface is used to reach the gateway.
Entry 2 shows the following:
• Destination (172.20.214.0) is the destination network IP address.
• Mask (255.255.255.0) is a 24-bit mask, meaning all addresses within the 172.20.214.0 subnet can
be a destination.
• Gateway (172.20.214.92) is the gateway address. All outbound traffic belonging to this network is
sent to this gateway.
• Interface (motfcc0) indicates that the ONS 15454 Ethernet interface is used to reach the gateway.
Entry 3 shows the following:
• Destination (172.20.214.92) is the destination host IP address.
• Mask (255.255.255.255) is a 32 bit mask, meaning only the 172.20.214.92 address is a destination.
• Gateway (127.0.0.1) is a loopback address. The host directs network traffic to itself using this
address.
• Interface (lo0) indicates that the local loopback interface is used to reach the gateway.
Entry 4 shows the following:
• Destination (172.20.214.93) is the destination host IP address.
• Mask (255.255.255.255) is a 32 bit mask, meaning only the 172.20.214.93 address is a destination.
• Gateway (0.0.0.0) means the destination host is directly attached to the node.
• Interface (pdcc0) indicates that a DCC interface is used to reach the destination host.
Entry 5 shows a DCC-connected node that is accessible through a node that is not directly connected:
• Destination (172.20.214.94) is the destination host IP address.

17.7 Open GNE
The ONS 15454 can communicate with non-ONS nodes that do not support Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) vendor extensions or OSPF type 10 opaque link-state advertisements (LSA), both of which are
necessary for automatic node and link discovery. An open GNE configuration allows a GCC-based
network to function as an IP network for non-ONS nodes.
To configure an open GNE network, you can provision GCC terminations to include a far-end, non-ONS
node using either the default IP address of 0.0.0.0 or a specified IP address. You provision a far-end,
non-ONS node by checking the Far End is Foreign check box during GCC creation. The default 0.0.0.0
IP address allows the far-end, non-ONS node to identify itself with any IP address; if you set an IP
address other than 0.0.0.0, a link is established only if the far-end node identifies itself with that IP
address, providing an extra level of security. 17-43

Chapter 17 Management Network Connectivity
Open GNE
By default, the proxy server only allows connections to discovered ONS peers and the firewall blocks
all IP traffic between the GCC network and LAN. You can, however, provision proxy tunnels to allow
up to 12 additional destinations for SOCKS version 5 connections to non-ONS nodes. You can also
provision firewall tunnels to allow up to 12 additional destinations for direct IP connectivity between the
GCC network and LAN. Proxy and firewall tunnels include both a source and destination subnet. The
connection must originate within the source subnet and terminate within the destination subnet before
either the SOCKS connection or IP packet flow is allowed. A proxy connection is allowed if the CTC
client is in a source subnet and the requested destination is in the destination subnet. Firewall tunnels
allow IP traffic to route between the node Ethernet and pdcc interfaces. An inbound Ethernet packet is
allowed through the firewall if its source address matches a tunnel source and its destination matches a
tunnel destination. An inbound pdcc packet is allowed through the firewall if its source address matches
a tunnel destination and its destination address matches a tunnel source. Tunnels only affect TCP and
UDP packets.
The availability of proxy and/or firewall tunnels depends on the network access settings of the node:
• If the node is configured with the proxy server enabled in GNE or ENE mode, you must set up a
proxy tunnel and/or a firewall tunnel.
• If the node is configured with the proxy server enabled in proxy-only mode, you can set up proxy
tunnels. Firewall tunnels are not allowed.
• If the node is configured with the proxy server disabled, neither proxy tunnels nor firewall tunnels
are allowed.
Figure 17-25 shows an example of a foreign node connected to the GCC network. Proxy and firewall
tunnels are useful in this example because the GNE would otherwise block IP access between the PC
and the foreign node.17-44

17.8 TCP/IP and OSI Networking
ONS 15454 DCN communication is based on the TCP/IP protocol suite. However, ONS 15454s can also
be networked with equipment that uses the OSI protocol suite. While TCP/IP and OSI protocols are not
directly compatible, they do have the same objectives and occupy similar layers of the OSI reference
model. For detailed information about OSI protocols, processes, and scenarios, refer to the
“Management Network Connectivity” chapter in the ONS 15454 Reference Manual. OSI/MultiService
Transport Platform (MSTP) scenarios are provided in the following sections.
In OSI/MSTP Scenario 1 (Figure 17-27), an SDCC or RS-DCC carries an OC-N/STM-N signal from an
OSI-based third-party NE to a transponder (TXP) or muxponder (MXP) card on an ONS NE. It is carried
by GCC to a TXP/MXP card on another MSTP NE and then by SDCC or RS-DCC to a second third-party
NE. This scenario requires TXPs/MXPs whose client interfaces can be provisioned in section or line
termination mode. These include:
• TXP_MR_2.5 and TXPP_MR_2.5 (when equipped with OC-N/STM-N SFPs)
• TXP_MR_10G and TXP_MR_10E (when the client is configured as OC-192/STM-64)
• MXP_2.5_10G and MXP_2.5_10E

troubleshoot specific alarms, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide. To configure
LMP, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Note CTM support is not required for LMP.
LMP is used to establish traffic engineering (TE) links between Cisco ONS 15454 nodes or between
Cisco ONS 15454 nodes and selected non-Cisco nodes that use vendor-specific hardware.
17.9.1 Overview
LMP manages TE links between nodes through the use of control channels. TE links are designed to
define the most efficient paths possible for traffic to flow over a network and through the Internet. Traffic
engineering encompasses traffic management, capacity management, traffic measurement and modeling,

Link Management Protocol
network modeling, and performance analysis. Traffic engineering methods include call routing,
connection routing, quality of service (QoS) resource management, routing table management, and
capacity management.
LMP manages TE links between peer nodes, such as two optical cross-connect (OXC) nodes. Peer nodes
have equivalent signaling and routing. LMP also manages TE links between a node such as an OXC and
an adjacent optical line system (OLS) node. An example of an OLS node is an ONS 15454 DWDM node.
Networks with routers, switches, OXC nodes, DWDM OLS nodes, and add/drop multiplexers (ADM)
use a common control plane such as Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) to provision
resources and provide network survivability using protection and restoration techniques. LMP is part of
the GMPLS protocol suite.
A single TE link can be formed from several individual links. Management of TE links can be
accomplished with in-band messaging, as well as with out-of-band methods. The following material
describes the LMP between a pair of nodes that manages TE links. LMP accomplishes the following:
• Maintains control channel connectivity
• Verifies the physical connectivity of the data links
• Correlates the link property information
• Suppresses downstream alarms
• Localizes link failures for protection/restoration purposes in multiple types of networks
DWDM networks often use Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and GMPLS as common-control
planes to control how packets are routed through the network.
LMP manages the control channel that must exist between nodes for routing, signaling, and link
management. For a control channel to exist, each node must have an IP interface that is reachable from
the other node. Together, the IP interfaces form a control channel. The interface for the control messages
does not have to be the same interface as the one for the data.
17.9.1.1 MPLS
MPLS provides a mechanism for engineering network traffic patterns that is independent of routing
tables and routing protocols. MPLS assigns short labels to network packets that describe how to forward
the packets through the network. The traditional Layer 3 forwarding mechanism requires each hop to
analyze the packet header and determine the next hop based on routing table lookup. With MPLS, the
analysis of the packet header is performed just once, when a packet enters the MPLS cloud. The packet
is then assigned to a stream known as a Label Switch Path (LSP), which is identified with a label. The
short, fixed-length label is an index into a forwarding table, which is more efficient than the traditional
routing table lookup at each hop. Using MPLS, both the control protocol (used to manage the LSPs) and
user data can be carried over the same bearer interfaces.
17.9.1.2 GMPLS
GMPLS is based on MPLS, with protocol extensions to support additional technologies, including time
division multiplexing (TDM) slots (such as SONET and SDH), wavelength division multiplexing
(WDM) wavelengths at Layer 1, and fiber. For MPLS, the control traffic (signaling and routing) can run
over bearer interfaces. This is not the case with GMPLS, where a separate control channel is used. The
GMPLS control channel is managed with LMP. With GMPLS, the control channels between two
adjacent nodes do not need to use the same physical medium as the data links between those nodes.17-51

Chapter 17 Management Network Connectivity
Link Management Protocol
17.9.2 Configuring LMP
Configuring LMP consists of the following four topics:
• Control channel management
• TE link management
• Link connectivity verification
• Fault management
17.9.2.1 Control Channel Management
Control channel management establishes and maintains control channels between adjacent nodes.
Control channels use a Config message exchange and a fast keep-alive mechanism between the nodes.
The latter is required if lower-level mechanisms are not available to detect control-channel failures. A
maximum of four LMP control channels can be supported.
The nodes initially exchange configuration messages (Config, ConfigAck, and ConfigNack), which are
used to exchange identifiers and negotiate parameters for the keep-alive protocol. The nodes then
perform a continuous rapid exchange of Hello messages, which are used to monitor the health on the
channel.
Note The identifiers are Local Node Id, Remote Node Id, Local Control Channel Id, and Remote
Control Channel Id. The parameters are the HelloInterval and the HelloDeadInterval.
LMP out-of-fiber and LMP out-of-band control channels are supported and terminated on the shelf. An
out-of-fiber control channel includes using the control plane network (Ethernet) for the control channel
because Ethernet is separate from the fiber used for the data plane. An out-of-band control channel
includes using overhead bytes, such as the SDCC and LDCC bytes, for the control channel because
overhead bytes are separate from the payload. In-band means that the control messages are in the same
channel as the data messages; therefore, out-of-band refers to overhead bytes in the same fiber, separate
circuits dedicated to control messages in the same fiber (SONET/SDH circuits), or separate wavelengths
in the same fiber (DWDM).
Note Overhead bytes are SDCC or LDCC for SONET networks, RS-DCC or MS-DCC for SDH
networks, and GCC or OSC for DWDM networks.
Out-of-band implies in-fiber, but not in-band. In-fiber means that the control messages are in the same
fiber as the data messages, and includes both in-band and out-of-band. Out-of-fiber means that the
control messages take a path separate from the data plane. This includes separate fiber and Ethernet.
The control channel management for a peer node to OLS link is the same as that for a link between two
peer nodes.
Note The software supports gracefully taking a control channel down for administration purposes (refer to
Section 3.2.3 of the IETF LMP document). However, there is no provision for a graceful restart (refer to
Section 8 of RFC 4204).
• Graceful means that the nodes participating in the control channel agree that the link should go
down. To gracefully take down a control channel, the node sets the ControlChannelDown flag in its
messages to the other node until either the HelloDeadInterval expires or the other node sends a 17-52
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 17 Management Network Connectivity
Link Management Protocol
message back with the ControlChannelDown flag set. In either case, the node then stops sending
messages for this control channel. Before a control channel is taken down, there should be a backup
control channel in place that can be used to manage the data links.
• Non-graceful means that one of the nodes just stops sending messages. The other side would declare
a failure after the HelloDeadInterval, but would continue to send Hello messages to see if the control
channel will come back up.
17.9.2.2 TE Link Management
LMP ensures that links are grouped into TE links and that the properties of those links are the same at
both endpoints. This is called TE link management, or link property correlation.
Link property correlation is used to synchronize the TE link properties and verify the TE link
configuration. The link property correlation function of LMP aggregates one or more data links into a
TE link and synchronizes the properties of the TE link with the neighbor node. The procedure starts by
sending a LinkSummary message to the neighbor. The LinkSummary message includes the local and
remote Link Identifier, a list of all data links that make up the TE link, and various link properties. It is
mandatory that a LinkSummaryAck or LinkSummaryNack message be sent in response to the receipt of
a LinkSummary message, indicating agreement or disagreement with the link properties.
Note A maximum of 256 LMP TE links is supported.
17.9.2.3 Link Connectivity Verification
Link connectivity verification is not supported in this release, but might be supported in the future.
17.9.2.4 Fault Management
Fault management is particularly useful when the control channels are physically diverse from the data
links. It is used for rapid notification regarding the status of one or more TE-link data channels. The use
of fault management is negotiated as part of the TE link’s LinkSummary exchange. Data links and TE
link failures can be rapidly isolated and fault management supports both unidirectional and bidirectional
LSPs. Transparent devices are useful because traditional methods for monitoring the health of allocated
data links might no longer be appropriate. Instead, fault detection is delegated to the physical layer (for
example, loss of light or optical monitoring of the data) instead of Layer 2 or Layer 3. Fault management
uses the ChannelStatus, ChannelStatusAck, ChannelStatusRequest, and ChannelStatusResponse
messages.
Note The LMP Channel Activation/Deactivation Indication procedures are not supported; they are described
in the IETF LMP document, Sections 6.4 and 6.5.17-53

17.9.3 LMP WDM
LMP manages traffic engineering links between peer nodes (nodes that are peers in signaling and/or
routing). The purpose of the LMP WDM extensions2
is to allow LMP to be used between an OXC node
and an adjacent DWDM OLS node. Figure 17-31 illustrates the relationship between LMP and
LMP-WDM. OXC 1 and OXC 2 are peer nodes whose control channel is managed with LMP.
LMP-WDM manages the control channel between an OXC node and an OLS node.
Figure 17-31 LMP and LMP-WDM Relationship
When the two OLS nodes can communicate their configuration and the current state of their optical link
to the two peer nodes (OXC 1 and OXC 2) through LMP-WDM, network usability is improved through
the reduction of manual configuration and enhanced fault detection and recovery.
17.9.4 LMP Network Implementation
Figure 17-32 shows a network-level LMP implementation. It is an IP-plus-optical network, with
end-to-end routing based on MPLS and GMPLS. The primary network components are:
• Routers
– Cisco Carrier Router System (CSR)
– Cisco Gigabit Switch Router (GSR)
• An OXC node
• Ultra long-haul (ULH) DWDM equipment
LMP and other features allow the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM node to fulfill the ULH DWDM role.
Figure 17-32 illustrates the relationship between the network components.

IPv6 Network Compatibility
Figure 17-32 LMP System Implementation
17.10 IPv6 Network Compatibility
IPv6 simplifies IP configuration and administration and has a larger address space than IPv4 to support
the future growth of the Internet and Internet related technologies. It uses 128-bit addresses as against
the 32-bit used in IPv4 addresses. Also, IPv6 gives more flexibility in designing newer addressing
architectures.
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM can function in an IPv6 network when an Internet router that supports
Network Address Translation-Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) is positioned between the GNE, such as an
ONS 15454 DWDM, and the client workstation. NAT-PT is a migration tool that helps users transition
from IPv4 networks to IPv6 networks. NAT-PT is defined in RFC-2766. IPv4 and IPv6 nodes
communicate with each other using NAT-PT by allowing both IPv6 and IPv4 stacks to interface between
the IPv6 DCN and the IPv4 DCC networks.
Note IPv6 is supported on Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Software R8.0 and later with an external NAT-PT router.
17.11 IPv6 Native Support
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Software R9.0 and later supports native IPv6. ONS 15454 DWDM can be
managed over IPv6 DCN networks by enabling the IPv6 feature. After you enable IPv6 in addition to
IPv4, you can use CTC, TL1, and SNMP over an IPv6 DCN to manage ONS 15454 DWDM. Each NE
can be assigned an IPv6 address in addition to the IPv4 address. You can access the NE by entering the
IPv4 address, an IPv6 address or the DNS name of the device. The IPv6 address is assigned only on the
LAN interface of the NE. DCC/GCC interfaces use the IPv4 address.

IPv6 Native Support
By default, when IPv6 is enabled, the node processes both IPv4 and IPv6 packets on the LAN interface.
If you want to process only IPv6 packets, you need to disable IPv4 on the node. Before you disable IPv4,
ensure that IPv6 is enabled and the node is not in multishelf mode.
Figure 17-33 shows how an IPv6 DCN interacts with and IPv4 DCC.
Figure 17-33 IPv6-IPv4 Interaction
You can manage MSTP multishelf nodes over IPv6 DCN. RADIUS, FTP, SNTP, and other network
applications support IPv6 DCN. To enable IPv6 addresses, you need to make the necessary configuration
changes from the CTC or TL1 management interface. After you enable IPv6, you can start a CTC or TL1
session using the provisioned IPv6 address. The ports used for all IPv6 connections to the node are the
same as the ports used for IPv4.
An NE can either be in IPv6 mode or IPv4 mode. In IPv4 mode, the LAN interface does not have an IPv6
address assigned to it. An NE, whether it is IPv4 or IPv6, has an IPv4 address and subnet mask.
TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC cards do not reboot automatically when you provision an IPv6 address,
but a change in IPv4 address initiates a TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC card reset. Table 17-11 describes
the differences between an IPv4 node and an IPv6 node.

addresses in secure mode, see the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. For more information on
secure mode behavior, see section 17.2.9 Scenario 9: IP Addressing with Secure Mode Enabled,
page 17-19.
17.11.5 IPv6 Limitations
IPv6 has the following configuration restrictions:
• You can provision an NE as IPv6 enabled only if the node is a SOCKS-enabled or firewall-enabled
GNE/ENE.
• IPSec is not supported.
• OSPF/RIP cannot be enabled on the LAN interface if the NE is provisioned as an IPv6 node.
• Static route/firewall/proxy tunnel provisioning is applicable only to IPv4 addresses even if the IPv6
is enabled.
Not supported on static routes, proxy tunnels, and
firewall tunnels.
Supported on static routes, proxy tunnels, and
firewall tunnels.
Routing decisions are based on the default IPv6
router provisioned.

Integration with Cisco CRS-1 Routers
• In secure mode, IPv6 is supported only on the rear Ethernet interface. IPv6 is not supported on the
front port.
• ONS platforms use NAT-PT internally for providing IPv6 native support. NAT-PT uses the IPv4
address range 128.x.x.x for packet translation. Do not use the 128.x.x.x address range when you
enable IPv6 feature.
17.12 Integration with Cisco CRS-1 Routers
This section describes the integration of a Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM node with a Cisco CRS-1 router.
To provision end-to-end circuit connectivity between a DWDM node and a Cisco CRS-1 router, refer to
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
This feature provides end-to-end circuit provisioning from one Cisco CRS-1 router to another
Cisco CRS-1 router passing through an MSTP network (without using GMPLS). In other words, you can
use CTC to create an OCH trail circuit that includes the Cisco CRS-1 nodes involved in the MSTP
network. With this feature, circuit provisioning is extended to the physical layer interface module
(PLIM) trunk ports of the Cisco CRS-1 router.
Note Cisco ONS Software Release 9.1 supports only Cisco CRS-1 router using Cisco IOS XR Software
Release 3.9.0. If you have an earlier version of the Cisco IOS XR software, you cannot configure LMP
on the Cisco CRS-1 router, and the router will be visible as an unknown node in the CTC network view.
For more information about the Cisco CRS-1 router, refer to the documentation set available at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5763/tsd_products_support_series_home.html.
17.12.1 Card Compatibility
The following Cisco CRS-1 DWDM PLIMs support this feature:
• 4-10GE-ITU/C
• 1OC768-ITU/C
• 1OC768-DSPK
The following ONS 15454 DWDM cards support this feature:
• 32MUX-O

Figure 17-34 Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Node and Cisco CRS-1 Router Network
17.12.2.1 Physical Connections
The ONS 15454 DWDM node can be connected to CTC using multiple ways, as described in the
“14.4 ONS 15454 Connections” section on page 14-5. The Cisco CRS-1 router must be connected to
CTC through TCP/IP, using an Ethernet interface. There must be two physical connections between the
DWDM node and the Cisco CRS-1 router for:
• LMP provisioning—through the 10-Mbps Ethernet interface provided by the TCC2P card (on the
Cisco ONS 15454 side) and the RP card (on the Cisco CRS-1 router side).
• 10-Gbps and 40-Gbps traffic—through the fiber connection provided from the OCH ports of the
multiplexer, demultiplexer, or WSS cards (on the Cisco ONS 15454 side) and from the PLIM trunk
ports (on the Cisco CRS-1 router side). You must use LC connectors on both the Cisco ONS 15454
side and the Cisco CRS-1 router side.
17.12.2.2 CTC Display
The CTC network view displays Cisco CRS-1 routers that have LMP control channels to the DWDM
node that you logged in to, and to the DWDM nodes with DCC connections to the login node
(Figure 17-35). When a data link has been established, the network view also displays the link between
the Cisco CRS-1 router and the DWDM node.

17.12.3 Circuit Management
This section describes LMP provisioning and optical channel (OCH) trail circuit provisioning on the
DWDM node and the Cisco CRS-1 router.
17.12.3.1 LMP Provisioning
To provision end-to-end circuit connectivity from one Cisco CRS-1 router to another Cisco CRS-1 router
passing through a DWDM network, you must configure LMP on the OCH ports of the first and last
DWDM nodes (those adjacent to the Cisco CRS-1 router) and on the PLIM trunk ports of the
Cisco CRS-1 router. Configuring LMP involves creating control channels, TE links, and data links. CTC
primarily uses data links to discover circuit routes. For each 10-Gbps or 40-Gbps fiber between the
Cisco CRS-1 router and the DWDM node, you must create a TE link and a data link. You must have a
dedicated TE link for each data link because the Cisco CRS-1 router does not support link bundling
(aggregation of one or more data links into a single TE link). When the port association is correct
(checked using the LinkSummary message), the operational state of the data link transitions to Up–Free. 17-60
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 17 Management Network Connectivity
Integration with Cisco CRS-1 Routers
During creation of data links between the OCH ports of the DWDM node and the PLIM trunk ports of
the Cisco CRS-1 router, CTC performs lambda tuning, that is, CTC automatically tunes the PLIM trunk
port wavelength to match the supported wavelength on the OCH ports of the DWDM node. For more
information on LMP, see the “17.9 Link Management Protocol” section on page 17-49.
You can configure LMP on the DWDM node and the Cisco CRS-1 router through CTC. For details on
configuring LMP, refer to Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
17.12.3.2 OCH Trail Circuit Provisioning
After you have provisioned LMP on the DWDM nodes and the Cisco CRS-1 routers, you can create an
OCH trail circuit from one Cisco CRS-1 router to another Cisco CRS-1 router passing through an MSTP
network. The endpoints (source and destination) of the OCH trail circuit must be Cisco CRS-1 routers.
CTC does not allow mixed nodes (Cisco CRS-1 router to DWDM node) for OCH trail circuits.
As part of OCH trail circuit creation, you must also define the following optical transport network (OTN)
line parameters on both endpoints of the circuit:
• ITU-T G.709
• Forward error correction (FEC)
• Signal fail bit error rate (SF BER)
• Signal degrade bit error rate (SD BER)
After you define the source and destination nodes for the OCH trail circuit, CTC evaluates the circuit for
a valid route between the two endpoints. If a valid route exists, CTC creates the required connections on
all the impacted nodes.
17.12.4 Cisco CRS-1 Router Management from CTC
After you have provisioned LMP on the Cisco CRS-1 router and the DWDM node, the Cisco CRS-1
router gets displayed in the CTC network view. You can view active alarms, performance monitoring
(PM) parameters, and the software version of the Cisco CRS-1 router from CTC.
To view PM parameters for a specific PLIM port, right-click the Cisco CRS-1 router in CTC network
view and choose Show Router Port Status > rack/slot/module/port (Figure 17-36). 17-61

To view all the active alarms, right-click the Cisco CRS-1 router in CTC network view and choose Show
Active Alarms.
Note The Loss of Signal (LOS) alarm is not reported as critical for the Cisco CRS-1 router, whereas, it is
reported as critical for the ONS 15454 node. To avoid this inconsistency, you can use Cisco Craft Works
Interface (CWI) to manually change the severity for the LOS alarm of the Cisco CRS-1 router.
To view the software version, click the Maintenance > Software tabs in the CTC network view. The
working software version for each node is listed in the Working Version column.
17.13 Photonic Path Trace
Photonic Path Trace (PPT) is a protocol that validates an optical path in an ONS 15454 MSTP network.
PPT performs evidence-based path validation and identifies nodes in case of provisioning failure. PPT
uses the power levels on each port to validate the path. For every node in the optical path, PPT reports
the power levels against the threshold values in the form of a histogram. The histogram is displayed in
the Photonic Path Trace tab of the Edit Circuit window in CTC. For each node, a set of power values
collected from all the traversed ports is displayed in the histogram (Figure 17-37).17-62

Note An OCHNC or OCH trail circuit must exist on the optical path on which PPT is started.
For information on how to start PPT on an optical path, see the “Turn Up a Network” chapter in the Cisco
ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
17.14 Shared Risk Link Group
SRLG is a unique 32 bit number that can be assigned to a link or DWDM node. This number can be used
as an identifier of a link or a group of resources that may fail. A set of links constitute a SRLG if they
share a resource (for example, a common fiber) whose failure causes the other links of the group to fail
too. Therefore, the links in the group have a shared risk. A link can belong to multiple SRLGs. SRLG
information is an unordered list of SRLGs that the link belongs to that is used by the router layer for
making routing decisions. For example, if a router traverses through a diverse path, the path computation
ensures that routing does not go through links sharing the same SRLG.
There are two types of SRLGs, unique and additional. Every link or DWDM node must be assigned a
unique SRLG attribute. Additional SRLGs for DWDM nodes or links are optional and can be defined in
CTC. The additional SRLGs for a link compute the additional risks associated with the link. A list of
additional SRLGs for a link can be defined in the Additional Span SRLG information attribute in CTC.
This list can contain upto 20 SRLGs.17-63
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 17 Management Network Connectivity
Proactive Protection Regen
When the SRLG value of a DWDM node or link is changed, the SRLG attributes are updated for all the
relevant router ports. When a new router-based OCH trail is created, the SRLG information of the
DWDM nodes and links that are part of the newly created circuit is automatically communicated to the
source and destination router. SRLG information can also be synchronized when the SRLG values on
the router ports differ from the SRLG values on the DWDM nodes. The SRLG information can be viewed
as consolidated or detailed reports in CTC. For more information about provisioning SRLGs on DWDM
nodes and links, refer to the “Turn Up a Network” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure
Guide.
17.15 Proactive Protection Regen
When an optical signal degrades in a DWDM network, the downstream router is unaware of it. When the
FEC limit is reached, there is traffic interruption with significant packet loss and an LOF alarm is raised.
The LOF alarm triggers a Fast Reroute (FRR) mechanism in the router layer that switches traffic to a
backup path.
The Proactive Protection Regen feature achieves a hitless switchover before the traffic is interrupted by
triggering an FRR to backup paths before the LOF alarm is raised.
Proactive protection regen can be enabled on the OTU2_XP card ports when the card is used as a
regenerator in Standard regen or Enhanced FEC mode. Proactive protection regen can also be configured
during creation of OCH trail circuits between two Cisco CRS-1 routers.
As soon as the BER of the optical signal between the upstream router and the ONS node exceeds the
trigger threshold value for the duration set as the trigger window, a PPR-FDI alarm is generated by the
ONS node. The PPR-FDI alarm is sent to the downstream router which in turn triggers the switchover
to the backup path. The downstream router then sends the PPR-BDI alarm to the upstream router to
switch to the backup path.
For more information about configuring proactive protection regen on OTU2_XP cards and OCH trails
in CTC, refer to the “Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454

18.1 Overview
CTC detects and reports alarms generated by the Cisco ONS 15454 and the larger network. You can use
CTC to monitor and manage alarms at the card, node, or network level. Default alarm severities conform
to the Telcordia GR-474-CORE standard, but you can set alarm severities in customized alarm profiles
or suppress CTC alarm reporting. For a detailed description of the standard Telcordia categories
employed by Optical Networking System (ONS) nodes, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Troubleshooting Guide.
Note ONS 15454 alarms can also be monitored and managed through Transaction Language One (TL1) or a
network management system (NMS).18-2

Alarm Counts on the LCD for a Node, Slot, or Port
18.2 Alarm Counts on the LCD for a Node, Slot, or Port
You can view node, slot, or port-level alarm counts and summaries using the buttons on the ONS 15454
LCD panel. The Slot and Port buttons toggle between display types; the Slot button toggles between
node display and slot display, and the Port button toggles between slot and port views. Pressing the
Status button after you choose the display mode changes the display from alarm count to alarm summary.
The ONS 15454 has a one-button update for some commonly viewed alarm counts. If you press the Slot
button once and then wait eight seconds, the display automatically changes from a slot alarm count to a
slot alarm summary. If you press the Port button to toggle to port-level display, you can use the Port
button to toggle to a specific slot and to view each port’s port-level alarm count. Figure 18-1 shows the
LCD panel layout.
Note In an ONS 15454 M2 shelf assembly, the LCD panel and the Slot, Port, and Status buttons are present
on the fan-tray assembly. In an ONS 15454 M6 shelf assembly, the LCD is a separate unit installed above
the external connection unit (ECU); the Slot, Port, and Status buttons are present on the LCD unit.

18.3 Alarm Display
In the card, node, or network CTC view, click the Alarms tab to display the alarms for that card, node,
or network. The Alarms window shows alarms in compliance with Telcordia GR-253-CORE. This means
that if a network problem causes two alarms, such as loss of frame (LOF) and loss of signal (LOS), CTC
only shows the LOS alarm in this window because it supersedes the LOF and replaces it.
The Path Width column in the Alarms and Conditions tabs expands on the alarmed object information
contained in the access identifier (AID) string (such as “STS-4-1-3”) by giving the number of STSs
contained in the alarmed path. For example, the Path Width tells you whether a critical alarm applies to
an STS1 or an STS48c. The column reports the width as a 1, 3, 6, 12, 48, etc. as appropriate, understood
to be “STS-N.”

18.3.6.2 Retrieving and Displaying Alarm and Condition History
You can retrieve and view the history of alarms and conditions, including transient conditions (passing
notifications of processes as they occur) in the CTC History window. The information in this window is
specific to the view where it is shown (that is, network history in the network view, node history in the
node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), and card history in the card view).
The node and card history views are each divided into two tabs. In node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf
view (multishelf mode), when you click the Retrieve button, you can see the history of alarms, conditions,
and transients that have occurred on the node in the History > Node window, and the history of alarms,
conditions, and transients that have occurred on the node during your login session in the
History > Session window. In the card-view history window, after you retrieve the card history, you can
see the history of alarms, conditions, and transients on the card in the History > Card window, or a
history of alarms, conditions, and transients that have occurred during your login session in the
History > Session window. You can also filter the severities and occurrence period in these history
windows.
18.3.7 Alarm History and Log Buffer Capacities
The ONS 15454 alarm history log, stored in the TCC2/TCC2P/TCC3/TNC/TSC RSA memory, contains
four categories of alarms. These include:
• CR severity alarms
• MJ severity alarms
• MN severity alarms
• the combined group of cleared, Not Alarmed severity, and Not Reported severity alarms
Each category can store between 4 and 640 alarm chunks, or entries. In each category, when the upper
limit is reached, the oldest entry in the category is deleted. The capacity is not user-provisionable.
CTC also has a log buffer, separate from the alarm history log, that pertains to the total number of entries
displayed in the Alarms, Conditions, and History windows. The total capacity is provisionable up to
5,000 entries. When the upper limit is reached, the oldest entries are deleted.
18.4 Alarm Severities
ONS 15454 alarm severities follow the Telcordia GR-474-CORE standard, so a condition might be
Alarmed (at a severity of Critical [CR], Major [MJ], or Minor [MN]), Not Alarmed (NA), or Not
Reported (NR). These severities are reported in the CTC software Alarms, Conditions, and History
windows at all levels: network, shelf, and card.
ONS equipment provides a standard profile named Default listing all alarms and conditions with severity
settings based on Telcordia GR-474-CORE and other standards, but users can create their own profiles
with different settings for some or all conditions and apply these wherever desired. (See the “18.5 Alarm
Profiles” section on page 18-9.) For example, in a custom alarm profile, the default severity of a carrier
loss (CARLOSS) alarm on an Ethernet port could be changed from major to critical. The profile allows
setting to Not Reported or Not Alarmed, as well as the three alarmed severities.
Critical and Major severities are only used for service-affecting alarms. If a condition is set as Critical
or Major by profile, it will raise as Minor alarm in the following situations:
• In a protection group, if the alarm is on a standby entity (the side not carrying traffic)18-9
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 18 Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management
Alarm Profiles
• If the alarmed entity has no traffic provisioned on it, no service is lost
Because of this possibility of being raised at two different levels, the alarm profile pane shows Critical
as CR / MN and Major as MJ / MN.
18.5 Alarm Profiles
The alarm profiles feature allows you to change default alarm severities by creating unique alarm profiles
for individual ONS 15454 ports, cards, or nodes. A created alarm profile can be applied to any node on
the network. Alarm profiles can be saved to a file and imported elsewhere in the network, but the profile
must be stored locally on a node before it can be applied to the node, its cards, or its cards’ ports.
CTC can store up to ten active alarm profiles at any time to apply to the node. Custom profiles can take
eight of these active profile positions. Two other profiles, Default profile and Inherited profile, are
reserved by the NE, and cannot be edited.The reserved Default profile contains Telcordia GR-474-CORE
severities. The reserved Inherited profile allows port alarm severities to be governed by the card-level
severities, or card alarm severities to be determined by the node-level severities.
If one or more alarm profiles have been stored as files from elsewhere in the network onto the local PC
or server hard drive where CTC resides, you can utilize as many profiles as you can physically store by
deleting and replacing them locally in CTC so that only eight are active at any given time.
18.5.1 Creating and Modifying Alarm Profiles
Alarm profiles are created in the network view using the node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view
(multishelf mode) Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tabs. A default alarm severity following Telcordia
GR-474-CORE standards is preprovisioned for every alarm. After loading the default profile or another
profile on the node, you can clone a profile to create custom profiles. After the new profile is created,
the Alarm Profiles window shows the original profile (frequently Default) and the new profile.
Note The alarm profile list contains a master list of alarms that is used for a mixed node network. Some of
these alarms might not be used in all ONS nodes.
Note The Default alarm profile list contains alarm and condition severities that correspond when applicable
to default values established in Telcordia GR-474-CORE.
Note All default or user-defined severity settings that are Critical (CR) or Major (MJ) are demoted to Minor
(MN) in non-service-affecting situations as defined in Telcordia GR-474-CORE.
Tip To see the full list of profiles, including those available for loading or cloning, click the Available button.
You must load a profile before you can clone it.
Note Up to 10 profiles, including the two reserved profiles (Inherited and Default) can be stored in CTC.18-10
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 18 Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management
Alarm Profiles
Wherever it is applied, the Default alarm profile sets severities to standard Telcordia GR-474-CORE
settings. In the Inherited profile, alarms inherit, or copy, severity from the next-highest level. For
example, a card with an Inherited alarm profile copies the severities used by the node housing the card.
If you choose the Inherited profile from the network view, the severities at the lower levels (node and
card) are copied from this selection.
You do not have to apply a single severity profile to the node-, card-, and port-level alarms. Different
profiles can be applied at different levels. You could use the inherited or default profile on a node and
on all cards and ports, but apply a custom profile that downgrades an alarm on one particular card. For
example, you might choose to downgrade an OC-N unequipped path alarm (UNEQ-P) from Critical
(CR) to Not Alarmed (NA) on an optical card because this alarm raises and then clears every time you
create a circuit. UNEQ-P alarms for the card with the custom profile would not display on the Alarms
tab (but they would still be recorded on the Conditions and History tabs.)
When you modify severities in an alarm profile:
• All Critical (CR) or Major (MJ) default or user-defined severity settings are demoted to Minor (MN)
in Non-Service-Affecting (NSA) situations as defined in Telcordia GR-474.
• Default severities are used for all alarms and conditions until you create a new profile and apply it.
The Load and Store buttons are not available for Retrieve and Maintenance users.
The Delete and Store options will only display nodes to delete profiles from or store profiles to if the
user has provisioning permission for those nodes. If the user does not have the proper permissions, CTC
greys out the buttons and they are not available to the user.
18.5.2 Alarm Profile Buttons
The Alarm Profiles window displays six buttons at the bottom of the screen. Table 18-7 lists and
describes each of the alarm profile buttons and their functions.
18.5.3 Alarm Profile Editing
Table 18-8 lists and describes the five profile-editing options available when you right-click an alarm
item in the profile column (such as Default).

18.5.4 Alarm Severity Options
To change or assign alarm severity, left-click the alarm severity you want to change in the alarm profile
column. Seven severity levels appear for the alarm:
• Not Reported (NR)
• Not Alarmed (NA)
• Minor (MN)
• Major (MJ)
• Critical (CR)
• Use Default
• Inherited
Inherited and Use Default severity levels only appear in alarm profiles. They do not appear when you
view alarms, history, or conditions.
18.5.5 Row Display Options
In the network or node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), the Alarm Profiles
window (Alarm Profile Editor for node view) displays three check boxes at the bottom of the window:
• Only show service-affecting severities—If unchecked, the editor shows severities in the format
sev1/sev2 where sev1 is a service-affecting severity and sev2 is not service-affecting. If checked, the
editor only shows sev1 alarms.
• Hide reference values—Highlights alarms with nondefault severities by clearing alarm cells with
default severities.
• Hide identical rows—Hides rows of alarms that contain the same severity for each profile.
18.5.6 Applying Alarm Profiles
In CTC node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode), the Alarm Behavior window
displays alarm profiles for the node. In card view, the Alarm Behavior window displays the alarm
profiles for the selected card. Alarm profiles form a hierarchy. A node-level alarm profile applies to all
cards in the node except cards that have their own profiles. A card-level alarm profile applies to all ports
on the card except ports that have their own profiles.

External Alarms and Controls
At the node level, you can apply profile changes on a card-by-card basis or set a profile for the entire
node. At the card-level view, you can apply profile changes on a port-by-port basis or set alarm profiles
for all ports on that card.
18.6 External Alarms and Controls
External alarm inputs can be provisioned on the Alarm Interface Controller–International (AIC-I) card
for external sensors such as an open door and flood sensors, temperature sensors, and other
environmental conditions. External control outputs on these two cards allow you to drive external visual
or audible devices such as bells and lights. They can control other devices such as generators, heaters,
and fans.
Up to 12 external alarm inputs and four external controls are available with the AIC-I card. If you also
provision the alarm extension panel (AEP), there are 32 inputs and 16 outputs. The AEP is compatible
with the ONS 15454 ANSI shelf only. It is not compatible with the ONS 15454 ETSI shelf.
18.6.1 External Alarms
You can provision each alarm input separately. Provisionable characteristics of external alarm inputs
include:
• Alarm Type—List of alarm types.
• Severity—CR, MJ, MN, NA, and NR.
• Virtual Wire—The virtual wire associated with the alarm.
• Raised When—Open means that the normal condition is no current flowing through the contact, and
the alarm is generated when current does flow; closed means that normal condition is to have current
flowing through the contact, and the alarm is generated when current stops flowing.
• Description—CTC alarm log description (up to 63 characters).
Note If you provision an external alarm to raise when a contact is open, and you have not attached the
alarm cable, the alarm will remain raised until the alarm cable is connected.
Note When you provision an external alarm, the alarm object is ENV-IN-nn. The variable nn refers to
the external alarm’s number, regardless of the name you assign.
18.6.2 External Controls
You can provision each alarm output separately. Provisionable characteristics of alarm outputs include:
• Control type.
• Trigger type (alarm or virtual wire).
• Description for CTC display.
• Closure setting (manually or by trigger). If you provision the output closure to be triggered, the
following characteristics can be used as triggers:18-13
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 18 Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management
External Alarms and Controls
– Local NE alarm severity—A chosen alarm severity (for example, major) and any higher-severity
alarm (in this case, critical) causes output closure.
– Remote NE alarm severity—Similar to local NE alarm severity trigger setting, but applies to
remote alarms.
– Virtual wire entities—You can provision an alarm that is input to a virtual wire to trigger an
external control output.
18.6.3 Virtual Wires
Provisioning the AIC and AIC-I card provides a “virtual wires” option used to route external alarms and
controls from different nodes to one or more alarm collection centers. In Figure 18-2, smoke detectors
at Nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4 are assigned to Virtual Wire #1, and Virtual Wire #1 is provisioned as the trigger
for an external bell at Node 1.
Figure 18-2 External Alarms and Controls Using a Virtual Wire
When using AIC virtual wires, you can:
• Assign different external devices to the same virtual wire.
• Assign virtual wires as the trigger type for different external controls.

Alarm Suppression
18.7 Alarm Suppression
The following sections explain alarm suppression features for the ONS 15454.
18.7.1 Alarms Suppressed for Maintenance
When you place a port in OOS,MT administrative state, this raises the alarm suppressed for maintenance
(AS-MT) alarm in the Conditions and History windows and causes subsequently raised alarms for that
port to be suppressed.
Note AS-MT can be seen in the Alarms window as well if you have set the Filter dialog box to show NA
severity events.
While the facility is in the OOS,MT state, any alarms or conditions that are raised and suppressed on it
(for example, a transmit failure [TRMT] alarm) are reported in the Conditions window and show their
normal severity in the Sev column. The suppressed alarms are not shown in the Alarms and History
windows. (These windows only show AS-MT). When you place the port back into IS,AINS
administrative state, the AS-MT alarm is resolved in all three windows. Suppressed alarms remain raised
in the Conditions window until they are cleared.
18.7.2 Alarms Suppressed by User Command
In the node view (single-shelf mode) or shelf view (multishelf mode) Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tabs >
Alarm Behavior tabs, the ONS 15454 has an alarm suppression option that clears raised alarm messages
for the node, chassis, one or more slots (cards), or one or more ports. Using this option raises the alarms
suppressed by user command, or AS-CMD alarm. The AS-CMD alarm, like the AS-MT alarm, appears
in the Conditions, and History windows. Suppressed conditions (including alarms) appear only in the
Conditions window--showing their normal severity in the Sev column. When the Suppress Alarms check
box is unchecked, the AS-CMD alarm is cleared from all three windows.
Note AS-MT can be seen in the Alarms window as well if you have set the Filter dialog box to show NA
severity events.
A suppression command applied at a higher level does not supersede a command applied at a lower level.
For example, applying a node-level alarm suppression command makes all raised alarms for the node
appear to be cleared, but it does not cancel out card-level or port-level suppression. Each of these
conditions can exist independently and must be cleared independently.
Caution Use alarm suppression with caution. If multiple CTC or TL1 sessions are open, suppressing the alarms
in one session suppresses the alarms in all other open sessions.18-15

Multishelf Configuration Alarming
18.8 Multishelf Configuration Alarming
Multishelf systems can share a single IP address among shelves and also correlate optical signal alarms.
Ethernet alarm-raising for this configuration also differs from alarm-raising for single-shelf
configurations. This section explains how alarms are viewed on a multishelf configuration, how alarm
locations are determined, and how multishelf alarming differs from single-shelf alarming.
18.8.1 Viewing Multishelf Alarmed Entities
The multishelf view in CTC shows which slots are occupied in each shelf of the configuration
(Figure 18-3).
Figure 18-3 Navigating to Shelf View from Multishelf View
You can determine where an alarm is raised by viewing the Object column. The entry there (for example,
FAC-1-3-1) tells you the entity (“fac,” or facility), shelf, slot, and port. In shelf view, the Alarms and
Conditions tabs also contain a Shelf column that indicates where the alarmed card is located.
18.8.2 Multishelf-Specific Alarming
The following sections explain how Ethernet communication alarms and correlated multishelf alarms are
processed in the ONS 15454 DWDM system.18-16
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 18 Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management
Threshold Crossing Alert Suppression
18.8.2.1 Ethernet Communication Alarms
The Ethernet interface card (MS-ISC) that is required for multishelf configurations does not raise
traditional Ethernet alarms, such as CARLOSS, that apply to transponder (TXP) or muxponder (MXP)
client ports. Instead, MS-ISC card alarms are raised on the shelf as EQPT alarms. These alarms include
Duplicate Shelf ID (DUP-SHELF-ID) and Shelf Communication Failure (SHELF-COMM-FAIL).
18.8.2.2 Multishelf Correlated Alarms
ITU-T G.798-based alarm correlation simplifies alarm reporting for DWDM channels. Communication
failures including Loss of Signal (LOS), Loss of Signal Payload (LOS-P), and Optical Power Receive
Fail-Loss of Light (OPWR-LFAIL) generate multiple conditions at each affected node and channel.
Correlation simplifies troubleshooting because a single alarm is reported for each root cause. (The
original alarms retain their severity in the Conditions window.)
The Payload Missing Indication (PMI) condition is raised at the far end to correlate optical multiplex
section (OMS) and optical transmission section (OTS) communication failures. A single PMI condition
is sent when every channel on the aggregated port is lost, that is, when there are no pass-through channels
or active added channels in service. If there are added channels on the node, the Forward Defect
Indication (FDI) condition is raised at the near end to indicate there are no pass-through optical channels
(OCH) in service.
18.9 Threshold Crossing Alert Suppression
This section describes threshold crosssing alert (TCA) suppression on TXP and MXP cards when they
are installed in a DWDM node.
18.9.1 Overview
Threshold default settings define the default cumulative values (thresholds) beyond which a TCA will
be raised. TCAs make it possible to monitor the network and detect errors early.
The following thresholds are monitored for TXP and MXP cards:
• Optical Thresholds
• ITU-T G.709 Thresholds
• SONET and SDH Thresholds
• FEC Thresholds
Threshold defaults are defined for near end and/or far end and at 15-minute or one-day intervals.
When LOS-P, LOS, or LOF alarms occur on the TXP./MXP cards, different TCAs are suppressed. Which
TCAs are suppressed by an alarm depends on how the trunk is configured (ITU-T G.709, SONET, or
SDH). The reason for suppressing the TCAs after the alarm occurs is to prevent a flood of TCAs after a
system failure.
TCA suppression does not extend to optical thresholds such as OPR (optical power received). Optical
threshold TCAs can effectively be suppressed by setting their thresholds to the maximum value.TCA
suppression also does not extend to client ports; it only applies to TXP and MXP trunk ports when they
are configured as ITU-T G.709, SONET, or SDH. TCA suppression does not extend to 10GE payloads.18-17

Threshold Crossing Alert Suppression
Note Suppressed TCAs are not reported as Not Reported (NR) conditions. As a result, suppressed TCAs do
not appear in the CTC Conditions tab and they cannot be retrieved with the RTRV-COND TL1 command.
18.9.2 G.709, SONET, and SDH TCA Groups
This section lists the TCAs that are suppressed for each alarm. TCA suppression is determined by how
framing is configured for TXP and MXP trunks.

Performance Monitoring
Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds
for, and report performance data for early detection of problems. In this chapter, PM parameters and
concepts are defined for transponder, muxponder, and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
cards in the Cisco ONS 15454 including optical amplifier, multiplexer, demutiplexer, optical add/drop
multiplexer (OADM), and optical service channel (OSC) cards.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
For information about enabling and viewing PM values, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure
Guide.

Chapter 19 Performance Monitoring
Threshold Performance Monitoring
19.1 Threshold Performance Monitoring
Thresholds are used to set error levels for each PM parameter. You can set individual PM threshold
values from the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) card view Provisioning tab. For procedures about
provisioning card thresholds, such as line and path thresholds, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Procedure Guide.
During the accumulation cycle, if the current value of a PM parameter reaches or exceeds its
corresponding threshold value, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is generated by the node and is
displayed by CTC. TCAs provide early detection of performance degradation. When a threshold is
crossed, the node continues to count the errors during a given accumulation period. If zero is entered as
the threshold value, generation of TCAs is disabled but performance monitoring continues.
Note Due to memory limitations and the number of TCAs generated by different platforms, you can manually
add or modify the following two properties to the platform property file (CTC.INI for Windows and
.ctcrc for UNIX) to fit the need:
• ctc.15xxx.node.tr.lowater=yyy (where xxx is platform and yyy is the number of the lowater mark.
The default lowater mark is 25.)
• ctc.15xxx.node.tr.hiwater=yyy (where xxx is platform and yyy is the number of the hiwater mark.
The default hiwater mark is 50.)
If the number of the incoming TCA is greater than the hiwater mark, the node will keep the latest lowater
mark and discard older ones.
Change the threshold if the default value does not satisfy your error monitoring needs. For example,
customers with a critical OC192/STM64 transponder installed for 911 calls must guarantee the best
quality of service on the line; therefore, they lower all thresholds on the client side so that the slightest
error raises a TCA.
Note When LOS, LOS-P, or LOF alarms occur on TXP and MXP trunks, ITU-T G.709/SONET/SDH TCAs
are suppressed. For details, see Chapter 18, “Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management.”

Payload SONET PM Parameters Definition
CV-S Section Coding Violation (CV-S) is a count of bit
interleaved parity (BIP) errors detected at the
section layer (that is, using the B1 byte in the
incoming SONET signal). Up to eight section BIP
errors can be detected per STS-N frame; each error
increments the current CV-S second register.
ES-S Section Errored Seconds (ES-S) is a count of the
number of seconds when at least one section-layer
BIP error was detected or an SEF or loss of signal
(LOS) defect was present.
SES-S Section Severely Errored Seconds (SES-S) is a
count of the seconds when K (see Telcordia GR-253
for value) or more section-layer BIP errors were
detected or an SEF or LOS defect was present. 19-5

Table 19-4 lists the payload SDH PM parameters.
SEFS-S Severely Errored Framing Seconds (SEFS-S) is a
count of the seconds when an SEF defect was
present. An SEF defect is expected to be present
during most seconds when an LOS or loss of frame
(LOF) defect is present. However, there can be
situations when the SEFS-S parameter is only
incremented based on the presence of the SEF
defect.
CV-L Line Coding Violation (CV-L) indicates the number
of coding violations occurring on the line. This
parameter is a count of bipolar violations (BPVs)
and excessive zeros (EXZs) occurring over the
accumulation period.
ES-L Line Errored Seconds (ES-L) is a count of the
seconds containing one or more anomalies (BPV +
EXZ) and/or defects (that is, loss of signal) on the
line.
SES-L Line Severely Errored Seconds (SES-L) is a count of
the seconds containing more than a particular
quantity of anomalies (BPV + EXZ > 44) and/or
defects on the line.
UAS-L Line Unavailable Seconds (UAS-L) is a count of the
seconds when the line is unavailable. A line
becomes unavailable when ten consecutive seconds
occur that qualify as SES-Ls, and it continues to be
unavailable until ten consecutive seconds occur that
do not qualify as SES-Ls.
FC-L Line Failure Count (FC-L) is a count of the number
of near-end line failure events. A failure event
begins when an Alarm Indication Signal Line
(AIS-L) failure is declared or when a lower-layer,
traffic-related, near-end failure is declared. This
failure event ends when the failure is cleared. A
failure event that begins in one period and ends in
another period is counted only in the period where it
begins.

Performance Monitoring
This section lists PM parameters for transponder cards (TXP_MR_10G, TXP_MR_2.5G,
TXPP_MR_2.5G, TXP_MR_10E, TXP_MR_10E_C, and TXP_MR_10E_L), muxponder cards

MXPP_MR_2.5G, MXP_MR_10DME-C, MXP_MR_10DME-L, and 40G-MXP-C), Xponder cards
(GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, OTU2_XP), and ADM-10G card. The transponder,
muxponder, Xponder, and ADM-10G PM parameters are divided into Optics PM, Payload PM, and OTN
PM tabs. The tabs displayed vary depending on the card installed. For more information, see the
“19.3.1 Optics PM Window” section on page 19-9, the “19.3.2 Payload PM Window” section on
page 19-10, or the “19.3.3 OTN PM Window” section on page 19-17.
Note For the OTU2_XP card, if the PPM is not deleted properly from the CTC (but physically removed), the
PMs continue to increase (even if the PPM is not present). To ensure the PMs do not increase when the
PPM is not present, change the Service State of the PPM port to OOS (ANSI) or locked (ETSI) and move
it back to IS (ANSI) or Unlocked (ETSI) state.
For ONS 15454 ANSI nodes, Figure 19-1 shows where overhead bytes detected on the
application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) produce PM parameters for the TXP_MR_10G card.
The remaining transponder, muxponder, Xponder, and ADM-10G cards perform similarly to this
illustration.19-8

19.3.2.3 MXP_MR_2.5G/MXPP_MR_2.5G Payload Utilization Window
The Payload PM Utilization window in the card view Performance > Payload> Utilization tab shows the
percentage of transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) line bandwidth used by the ports during consecutive time
segments. This tab cannot be viewed unless the appropriate PPM port type is provisioned. For PPM
provisioning procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. The Utilization
window provides an Interval list that enables you to set time intervals of 15 minutes or 1 day. Line
utilization is calculated with the following formulas:
Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction
for the port (that is, 1 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards is
shown for the ONS 15454 nodes in Table 19-16.
Note Line utilization numbers express the average of ingress and egress traffic as a percentage of capacity.

Note In certain congestion scenarios in GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards, dropped packets are counted both in
ingress (IfIndiscards) and egress interface (IfOutDiscards) interface. As a result of this, some dropped
packets are counted twice. The dropped packets on ingress interface can be ignored under this scenario.
19.3.4.2 Ether Ports Utilization Window
The Utilization window shows the percentage of transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) line bandwidth used by
the Ethernet ports during consecutive time segments. The Mode field displays the real-time mode status,
such as 100 Full, which is the mode setting configured on the E-Series port. However, if the E-Series
port is set to autonegotiate the mode (Auto), this field shows the result of the link negotiation between
the E-Series and the peer Ethernet device attached directly to the E-Series port.
The Utilization window provides an Interval drop-down list that enables you to set time intervals of
1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line utilization is calculated with the following formulas:
Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction
for the Ethernet port (that is, 1 Gbps).
19.3.4.3 Ether Ports History Window
The Ether Port History window lists past Ethernet statistics for the previous time intervals. Depending
on the selected time interval, the History window displays the statistics for each port for the number of
previous time intervals as shown in Table 19-23. The parameters are defined in Table 19-22 on
page 19-20.
etherStatsMulticastPkts The total number of good packets received that were directed to a multicast
address. Note that this number does not include packets directed to the
broadcast address.
etherStatsOversizePkts The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets
(excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise
well formed. Note that for tagged interfaces, this number becomes 1522
bytes.
etherStatsJabbers The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets
(excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), and had either a bad
FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a

Table 19-35 FEC PM Definitions
Parameter Definition
Bit Errors Bit Errors are the number of bit errors corrected.
FEC (NE) FEC enables correction and detection of errors along the optical
links where OTN and FEC are provisioned. FEC uses Reed
Solomon code RS (255,239) encoding. The FEC field is found
in Rows 1 to 4 and Columns 3835 to 4080. It will contain either
the Reed-Solomon RS(255,239) codes, or if FEC is disabled,
fixed stuff bytes (zeros).
Note The FEC PM information can be found in the card view
Performance > OTN PM tab. FEC must be enabled on
the transponder units in order for FEC PM values to be
reported.
UNC-Words Uncorrectable Words (UNC-Words) occur when FEC detects
and corrects errors to deliver a 7 to 8 dB improvement in the
signal-to-noise ratio (also called margin). For ITU G.709, the
FEC code used is Reed-Solomon RS (255, 239).

MXPP_MR_2.5G cards.
FC-L Line Failure Count (FC-L) is a count of the number of near-end line
failure events. A failure event begins when an Alarm Indication Signal
Line (AIS-L) failure is declared or when a lower-layer, traffic-related,
near-end failure is declared. This failure event ends when the failure is
cleared. A failure event that begins in one period and ends in another
period is counted only in the period where it begins.
SEF-S Severely Errored Framing Seconds (SEFS-S) is a count of the seconds
when an SEF defect was present. An SEF defect is expected to be present
during most seconds when an LOS or loss of frame (LOF) defect is
present. However, there can be situations when the SEFS-S parameter is
only incremented based on the presence of the SEF defect.
Note The RTRV-PM- command does not retrieve SEFS
counter for OC192/STM64 payloads on ADM-10G, 40G/40E
(TXP/MXP), and OTU2-XP cards.
SES-L Line Severely Errored Seconds (SES-L) is a count of the seconds
containing more than a particular quantity of anomalies (BPV + EXZ >
44) and/or defects on the line.
SES-S Section Severely Errored Seconds (SES-S) is a count of the seconds when
K (see Telcordia GR-253 for value) or more section-layer BIP errors were
detected or an SEF or LOS defect was present.
UAS-L Line Unavailable Seconds (UAS-L) is a count of the seconds when the line
is unavailable. A line becomes unavailable when ten consecutive seconds
occur that qualify as SES-Ls, and it continues to be unavailable until ten
consecutive seconds occur that do not qualify as SES-Ls.

Chapter 19 Performance Monitoring
Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring
19.11 Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring
For the MultiService Transport Platform (MSTP), only the MXP_2.5G_10G card uses pointer
justification counts. Pointers are used to compensate for frequency and phase variations. Pointer
justification counts indicate timing errors on networks. When a network is out of synchronization, jitter
and wander occur on the transported signal. Excessive wander can cause terminating equipment to slip.
Slips cause different effects in service. Voice service has intermittent audible clicks. Compressed voice
technology has short transmission errors or dropped calls. Fax machines lose scanned lines or experience
dropped calls. Digital video transmission has distorted pictures or frozen frames. Encryption service
loses the encryption key, causing data to be transmitted again.
For ONS 15454 ANSI nodes, pointers provide a way to align the phase variations in STS and VT
payloads. The STS payload pointer is located in the H1 and H2 bytes of the line overhead. Clocking
differences are measured by the offset in bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the STS synchronous
payload envelope (SPE) called the J1 byte. Clocking differences that exceed the normal range of 0 to 782
can cause data loss.
For ONS 15454 ETSI nodes, pointers provide a way to align the phase variations in VC4 payloads. The
VC4 payload pointer is located in the H1 and H2 bytes of the AU pointers section and is a count of the number
of bytes the VC4 path overhead (POH) J1 byte is away from the H3 byte, not including the section overhead
bytes. Clocking differences are measured by the offset in bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the
VC4 POH called the J1 byte. Clocking differences that exceed the normal range of 0 to 782 can cause
data loss.
There are positive (PPJC) and negative (NPJC) pointer justification count parameters. PPJC is a count
of path-detected (PPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (PPJC-PGEN-P) positive pointer justifications.
NPJC is a count of path-detected (NPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (NPJC-PGEN-P) negative pointer
justifications depending on the specific PM name. PJCDIFF is the absolute value of the difference
between the total number of detected pointer justification counts and the total number of generated
pointer justification counts. PJCS-PDET-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or more
PPJC-PDET or NPJC-PDET. PJCS-PGEN-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or
more PPJC-PGEN or NPJC-PGEN.
A consistent pointer justification count indicates clock synchronization problems between nodes. A
difference between the counts means that the node transmitting the original pointer justification has
timing variations with the node detecting and transmitting this count. For ONS 15454 SONET nodes,
positive pointer adjustments occur when the frame rate of the SPE is too slow in relation to the rate of
the STS-1. For ONS 15454 SDH nodes, positive pointer adjustments occur when the frame rate of the
path overhead (POH) is too slow in relation to the rate of the VC4.
In CTC, the count fields for PPJC and NPJC PMs appear white and blank unless they are enabled on the
card view Provisioning tab.19-38

20.1 SNMP Overview
SNMP is an application-layer communication protocol that allows ONS 15454 network devices to
exchange management information among these systems and with other devices outside the network.
Through SNMP, network administrators can manage network performance, find and solve network
problems, and plan network growth. Up to 10 SNMP trap destinations and five concurrent
Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) user sessions are allowed per node.
The ONS 15454 uses SNMP for asynchronous event notification to a network management system
(NMS). ONS SNMP implementation uses standard Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) management
information bases (MIBs) to convey node-level inventory, fault, and performance management 20-2

Chapter 20 SNMP
SNMP Overview
information for generic DS-1, DS-3, SONET, and Ethernet read-only management. SNMP allows a
generic SNMP manager such as HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) or Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) NetExpert to be utilized for limited management functions.
The Cisco ONS 15454 supports SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1), SNMP Version 2c (SNMPv2c), and SNMP
Version 3 (SNMPv3). As compared to SNMPv1, SNMPv2c includes additional protocol operations and
64-bit performance monitoring support. SNMPv3 provides authentication, encryption, and message
integrity and is more secure. This chapter describes the SNMP versions and describes the configuration
parameters for the ONS 15454.
Note In Software Release 8.0 and later, you can retrieve automatic in service (AINS) state and soak time
through the SNMP and Transaction Language One (TL1) interfaces.
Note The CERENT-MSDWDM-MIB.mib, CERENT-FC-MIB.mib, and CERENT-GENERIC-PM-MIB.mib
in the CiscoV2 directory support 64-bit performance monitoring counters. The SNMPv1 MIB in the
CiscoV1 directory does not contain 64-bit performance monitoring counters, but supports the lower and
higher word values of the corresponding 64-bit counter. The other MIB files in the CiscoV1 and CiscoV2
directories are identical in content and differ only in format.
Note It is recommended that the SNMP Manager timeout value be set to 60 seconds. Under certain conditions,
if this value is lower than the recommended time, the TCC card can reset. However, the response time
depends on various parameters such as object being queried, complexity of what and number of hops in
the node, etc.
The SNMP management interface supports the IEEE 802.3 LAG MIB.

Basic SNMP Components
20.2 Basic SNMP Components
In general terms, an SNMP-managed network consists of a management system, agents, and managed
devices.
A management system such as HP OpenView executes monitoring applications and controls managed
devices. Management systems execute most of the management processes and provide the bulk of
memory resources used for network management. A network might be managed by one or several
management systems. Figure 20-2 illustrates the relationship between the network manager, the SNMP
agent, and the managed devices.
Figure 20-2 Example of the Primary SNMP Components
An agent (such as SNMP) residing on each managed device translates local management information
data—such as performance information or event and error information—caught in software traps, into a
readable form for the management system. Figure 20-3 illustrates SNMP agent get-requests that
transport data to the network management software.

SNMP External Interface Requirement
Figure 20-3 Agent Gathering Data from a MIB and Sending Traps to the Manager
The SNMP agent captures data from MIBs, which are device parameter and network data repositories,
or from error or change traps.
A managed element—such as a router, access server, switch, bridge, hub, computer host, or network
element (such as an ONS 15454)—is accessed through the SNMP agent. Managed devices collect and
store management information, making it available through SNMP to other management systems having
the same protocol compatibility.
20.3 SNMP External Interface Requirement
Since all SNMP requests come from a third-party application, the only external interface requirement is
that a third-party SNMP client application can upload RFC 3273 SNMP MIB variables in the
etherStatsHighCapacityTable, etherHistoryHighCapacityTable, or mediaIndependentTable.
20.4 SNMP Version Support
The ONS 15454 supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps and get requests. The ONS 15454 SNMP MIBs
define alarms, traps, and status. Through SNMP, NMS applications can query a management agent for
data from functional entities such as Ethernet switches and SONET multiplexers using a supported MIB.
Note ONS 15454 MIB files in the CiscoV1 and CiscoV2 directories are almost identical in content except for
the difference in 64-bit performance monitoring features. The CiscoV2 directory contains three MIBs
with 64-bit performance monitoring counters:. CERENT-MSDWDM-MIB.mib, CERENT-FC-MIB.mib,
and CERENT-GENERIC-PM-MIB.mib The CiscoV1 directory does not contain any 64-bit counters, but
it does support the lower and higher word values used in 64-bit counters. The two directories also have
somewhat different formats.
20.4.1 SNMPv3 Support
Cisco ONS 15454 Software R9.0 and later supports SNMPv3 in addition to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
SNMPv3 is an interoperable standards-based protocol for network management. SNMPv3 provides
secure access to devices by a combination of authentication and encryption packets over the network
based on the User Based Security Model (USM) and the View-Based Access Control Model (VACM).
• User-Based Security Model—The User-Based Security Model (USM) uses the HMAC algorithm
for generating keys for authentication and privacy. SNMPv3 authenticates data based on its origin,
and ensures that the data is received intact. SNMPv1 and v2 authenticate data based on the plain text
community string, which is less secure when compared to the user-based authentication model.

SNMP Message Types
• View-Based Access Control Model—The view-based access control model controls the access to
the managed objects. RFC 3415 defines the following five elements that VACM comprises:
– Groups—A set of users on whose behalf the MIB objects can be accessed. Each user belongs to
a group. The group defines the access policy, notifications that users can receive, and the
security model and security level for the users.
– Security level—The access rights of a group depend on the security level of the request.
– Contexts—Define a named subset of the object instances in the MIB. MIB objects are grouped
into collections with different access policies based on the MIB contexts.
– MIB views—Define a set of managed objects as subtrees and families. A view is a collection or
family of subtrees. Each subtree is included or excluded from the view.
– Access policy—Access is determined by the identity of the user, security level, security model,
context, and the type of access (read/write). The access policy defines what SNMP objects can
be accessed for reading, writing, and creating.
Access to information can be restricted based on these elements. Each view is created with different
access control details. An operation is permitted or denied based on the access control details.
You can configure SNMPv3 on a node to allow SNMP get and set access to management information
and configure a node to send SNMPv3 traps to trap destinations in a secure way. SNMPv3 can be
configured in secure mode, non-secure mode, or disabled mode.
SNMP, when configured in secure mode, only allows SNMPv3 messages that have the authPriv security
level. SNMP messages without authentication or privacy enabled are not allowed. When SNMP is
configured in non-secure mode, it allows SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 message types.
20.5 SNMP Message Types
The ONS 15454 SNMP agent communicates with an SNMP management application using SNMP
messages. Table 20-1 describes these messages.
Table 20-1 ONS 15454 SNMP Message Types
Operation Description
get-request Retrieves a value from a specific variable.
get-next-request Retrieves the value following the named variable; this operation is often used to
retrieve variables from within a table. With this operation, an SNMP manager does
not need to know the exact variable name. The SNMP manager searches
sequentially to find the needed variable from within the MIB.
get-response Replies to a get-request, get-next-request, get-bulk-request, or set-request sent by
an NMS.
get-bulk-request Fills the get-response with up to the max-repetition number of get-next interactions,
similar to a get-next-request.
set-request Provides remote network monitoring (RMON) MIB.
trap Indicates that an event has occurred. An unsolicited message is sent by an SNMP
agent to an SNMP manager.20-6

A managed object, sometimes called a MIB object, is one of many specific characteristics of a managed
device. The MIB consists of hierarchically organized object instances (variables) that are accessed by
network-management protocols such as SNMP.

Note When SNMP indicates that the wavelength is unknown, it means that the corresponding card
(MXP_2.5G_10E, TXP_MR_10E, MXP_2.5G_10G, TXP_MR_10G, TXP_MR_2.5G, or
TXPP_MR_2.5G) works with the first tunable wavelength. For more information about MXP and TXP

20.6.3 Generic Threshold and Performance Monitoring MIBs
A MIB called CERENT-GENERIC-PM-MIB allows network management stations (NMS) to use a
single, generic MIB for accessing threshold and performance monitoring data of different interface
types. The MIB is generic in the sense that it is not tied to any particular kind of interface. The MIB
objects can be used to obtain threshold values, current performance monitoring (PM) counts, and historic
PM statistics for each kind of monitor and any supported interval at the near end and far end.
Previously existing MIBs in the ONS 15454 system provide some of these counts. For example, SONET
interface 15-minute current PM counts and historic PM statistics are available using the SONET-MIB.
DS-1 and DS-3 counts and statistics are available through the DS1-MIB and DS-3 MIB respectively. The

SNMP Management Information Bases
generic MIB provides these types of information and also fetches threshold values and single-day
statistics. In addition, the MIB supports optics and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
threshold and performance monitoring information.
The CERENT-GENERIC-PM-MIB is organized into three different tables:
• cerentGenericPmThresholdTable
• cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentTable
• cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalTable
The cerentGenericPmThresholdTable is used to obtain the threshold values for the monitor types. It is
indexed based on the following items:
• Interface index (cerentGenericPmThresholdIndex)
• Monitor type (cerentGenericPmThresholdMonType). The syntax of
cerentGenericPmThresholdMonType is type cerentMonitorType, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
• Location (cerentGenericPmThresholdLocation). The syntax of cerentGenericPmThresholdLocation
is type cerentLocation, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
• Time period (cerentGenericPmThresholdPeriod). The syntax of cerentGenericPmThresholdPeriod
is type cerentPeriod, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
Threshold values can be provided in 64-bit and 32-bit formats. (For more information about 64-bit
counters, see the “20.12.2 HC-RMON-MIB Support” section on page 20-27.) The 64-bit values in
cerentGenericPmThresholdHCValue can be used with agents that support SNMPv2. The two 32-bit
values (cerentGenericPmThresholdValue and cerentGenericPmThresholdOverFlowValue) can be used
by NMSs that only support SNMPv1.
Due to the 64-bit counter, the negative values for cerentGenericPmThresholdHCValue are displayed as
large positive integers. If the cerentGenericPmThresholdOverFlowValue is less than zero, it indicates
that the cerentGenericPmThresholdHCValue is representing a negative value.
The objects compiled in the cerentGenericPmThresholdTable are shown in Table 20-4.
The second table within the MIB, cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentTable, compiles the current performance
monitoring (PM) values for the monitor types. The table is indexed based on interface index
(cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentIndex), monitor type (cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentMonType), location
(cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentLocation) and time period (cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentPeriod). The
syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentIndex is type cerentLocation, defined in CERENT-TC.mib. The
syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentMonType is type cerentMonitor, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
The syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentPeriod is type cerentPeriod, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
The cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentTable validates the current PM value using the
cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentValid object and registers the number of valid intervals with historical PM
statistics in the cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentValidIntervals object.

PM values are provided in 64-bit and 32-bit formats. The 64-bit values in
cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentHCValue can be used with agents that support SNMPv2. The two 32-bit
values (cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentValue and cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentOverFlowValue) can be
used by NMS that only support SNMPv1.
Due to the 64-bit counter, the negative values for cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentHCValue are displayed
as large positive integers. If the cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentOverFlowValue is less than zero, it
indicates that the cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentHCValue is representing a negative value.
The cerentGenericPmStatsCurrentTable is shown in Table 20-5.
The third table in the MIB, cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalTable, obtains historic PM values for the
monitor types. It validates the current PM value in the cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalValid object. This
table is indexed based on interface index (cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalIndex), monitor type
(cerentGenericPMStatsIntervalMonType), location (cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalLocation), and period
(cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalPeriod). The syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalIndex is type
cerentLocation, defined in CERENT-TC.mib. The syntax of cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalMonType is
type cerentMonitor, defined in CERENT-TC.mib. The syntax of cerentGernicPmStatsIntervalPeriod is
type cerentPeriod, defined in CERENT-TC.mib.
The table provides historic PM values in 64-bit and 32-bit formats. The 64-bit values contained in the
cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalHCValue table can be used with SNMPv2 agents. The two 32-bit values
(cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalValue and cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalOverFlowValue) can be used by
SNMPv1 NMS.
Due to the 64-bit counter, the negative values for cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalHCValue are displayed
as large positive integers. If the cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalOverFlowValue is less than zero, it
indicates that the cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalHCValue is representing a negative value.
The cerentGenericPmStatsIntervalTable is shown in Table 20-6.

The ONS 15454 uses SNMP traps to generate all alarms and events, such as raises and clears. The traps
contain the following information:
• Object IDs that uniquely identify each event with information about the generating entity (the slot
or port; synchronous transport signal [STS] and Virtual Tributary [VT]; bidirectional line switched
ring [BLSR], Spanning Tree Protocol [STP], etc.).
• Severity and service effect of the alarm (critical, major, minor, or event; service-affecting or
non-service-affecting).
• Date and time stamp showing when the alarm occurred.

20.7.2 Variable Trap Bindings
Each SNMP trap contains variable bindings that are used to create the MIB tables. ONS 15454 traps and
variable bindings are listed in Table 20-11. For each group (such as Group A), all traps within the group
are associated with all of its variable bindings.

SNMPv1/v2 Community Names
20.8 SNMPv1/v2 Community Names
Community names are used to group SNMP trap destinations. All ONS 15454 trap destinations can be
provisioned as part of SNMP communities in CTC. When community names are assigned to traps, the
ONS 15454 treats the request as valid if the community name matches one that is provisioned in CTC.
In this case, all agent-managed MIB variables are accessible to that request. If the community name does
not match the provisioned list, SNMP drops the request.
20.9 SNMP in Multishelf Management
When using the dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) multishelf management feature to
subtend shelves from a node controller shelf, SNMP for the subtended shelves must be specially
provisioned. All shelves within a multishelf configuration share the node controller’s ID and IP address.
Thus, the only way to route SNMP messages to or from subtended shelves is by using proxy ARP.
The cerent454MultishelfEnabled object ID (OID) can be used to determine whether the node is single
shelf or multishelf.
To view the OID, use the snmpwalk node IP addressifDescr SNMP command in global configuration
mode. This command output displays the OID as
_x/y/z
where
x = Shelf number (for a multishelf node)
y = Card slot number
z = Card port number.
The following example shows how to obtain the OID using the snmpwalk node IP addressifDescr
SNMP command.

LAN-connected network elements (LNEs) can be set up as gateway network elements (GNEs) or as
SOCKS proxies, depending upon network security requirements. If the GNE/ENE firewall feature is
required, the LNE must be set up as a GNE. If the design does not require the firewall feature but does
require all-IP networking, the LNE must be set up as a SOCKS proxy.
In a GNE/ENE firewall configuration, nonconnected network elements must be set up as end network
elements (ENEs). With a SOCKS configuration, subtended nodes communicate with the proxy server by
IP. For procedures to provision a node or shelf as a GNE, ENE or SOCKS proxy, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
20.10 SNMPv1/v2 Proxy Over Firewalls
SNMP and NMS applications have traditionally been unable to cross firewalls used for isolating security
risks inside or from outside networks. CTC enables network operations centers (NOCs) to access
performance monitoring data such as RMON statistics or autonomous messages across firewalls by
using an SMP proxy element installed on a firewall.
The application-level proxy transports SNMP protocol data units (PDU) between the NMS and NEs,
allowing requests and responses between the NMS and NEs and forwarding NE autonomous messages
to the NMS. The proxy agent requires little provisioning at the NOC and no additional provisioning at
the NEs.
The firewall proxy is intended for use in a gateway network element-end network element (GNE-ENE)
topology with many NEs through a single NE gateway. Up to 64 SNMP requests (such as get, getnext,
or getbulk) are supported at any time behind single or multiple firewalls. The proxy interoperates with
common NMS such as HP OpenView.
For security reasons, the SNMP proxy feature must be enabled at all receiving and transmitting NEs to
function. For instructions to do this, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.20-25

Chapter 20 SNMP
SNMPv3 Proxy Configuration
20.11 SNMPv3 Proxy Configuration
The GNE can act as a proxy for the ENEs and forward SNMP requests to other SNMP entities (ENEs)
irrespective of the types of objects that are accessed. For this, you need to configure two sets of users,
one between the GNE and NMS, and the other between the GNE and ENE. In addition to forwarding
requests from the NMS to the ENE, the GNE also forwards responses and traps from the ENE to the
NMS.
The proxy forwarder application is defined in RFC 3413. Each entry in the Proxy Forwarder Table
consists of the following parameters:
• Proxy Type—Defines the type of message that may be forwarded based on the translation
parameters defined by this entry. If the Proxy Type is read or write, the proxy entry is used for
forwarding SNMP requests and their response between the NMS and the ENE. If the Proxy Type is
trap, the entry is used for forwarding SNMP traps from the ENE to the NMS.
• Context Engine ID/Context Name—Specifies the ENE to which the incoming requests should be
forwarded or the ENE whose traps should be forwarded to the NMS by the GNE.
• TargetParamsIn—Points to the Target Params Table that specifies the GNE user who proxies on
behalf of an ENE user. When the proxy type is read or write, TargetParamsIn specifies the GNE user
who receives requests from an NMS, and forwards requests to the ENE. When the proxy type is trap,
TargetParamsIn specifies the GNE user who receives notifications from the ENE and forwards them
to the NMS. TargetParamsIn and the contextEngineID or the contextName columns are used to
determine the row in the Proxy Forwarder Table that could be used for forwarding the received
message.
• Single Target Out—Refers to the Target Address Table. After you select a row in the Proxy
Forwarder Table for forwarding, this object is used to get the target address and the target parameters
that are used for forwarding the request. This object is used for requests with proxy types read or
write, which only requires one target.
• Multiple Target Out (Tag)—Refers to a group of entries in the Target Address Table. Notifications
are forwarded using this tag. The Multiple Target Out tag is only relevant when proxy type is Trap
and is used to send notifications to one or more NMSs.
20.12 Remote Monitoring
The ONS 15454 incorporates RMON to allow network operators to monitor Ethernet card performance
and events. The RMON thresholds are user-provisionable in CTC. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454
DWDM Procedure Guide for instructions.
Note Typical RMON operations, other than threshold provisioning, are invisible to the CTC user.
ONS 15454 system RMON is based on the IETF-standard MIB RFC 2819 and includes the following
five groups from the standard MIB: Ethernet Statistics, History Control, Ethernet History, Alarm, and
Event. 20-26

Remote Monitoring
20.12.1 64-Bit RMON Monitoring over DCC
The ONS 15454 DCC is implemented over the IP protocol, which is not compatible with Ethernet. The
system builds Ethernet equipment History and Statistics tables using HDLC statistics that are gathered
over the DCC (running point-topoint protocol, or PPP). RMON DCC monitoring (for both IP and
Ethernet) monitors the health of remote DCC connections.
RMON DCC contains two MIBs for DCC interfaces. They are:
• cMediaIndependentTable—standard, rfc3273; the proprietary extension of the HC-RMON MIB
used for reporting statistics
• cMediaIndependentHistoryTable—proprietary MIB used to support history
20.12.1.1 Row Creation in MediaIndependentTable
The SetRequest PDU for creating a row in the mediaIndependentTable should contain all the values
required to activate a row in a single set operation along with an assignment of the status variable to
createRequest (2). The SetRequest PDU for entry creation must have all the object IDs (OIDs) carrying
an instance value of 0. That is, all the OIDs should be of the type OID.0.
In order to create a row, the SetRequest PDU should contain the following:
• mediaIndependentDataSource and its desired value
• mediaIndependentOwner and its desired value (The size of mediaIndependentOwner is limited to
32 characters.)
• mediaIndependentStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
The mediaIndependentTable creates a row if the SetRequest PDU is valid according to the above rules.
When the row is created, the SNMP agent decides the value of mediaIndependentIndex. This value is
not sequentially allotted or contiguously numbered. It changes when an Ethernet interface is added or
deleted. The newly created row will have mediaIndependentTable value of valid (1). If the row already
exists, or if the SetRequest PDU values are insufficient or do not make sense, the SNMP agent returns
an error code.
Note mediaIndependentTable entries are not preserved if the SNMP agent is restarted.
The mediaIndependentTable deletes a row if the SetRequest PDU contains a mediaIndependentStatus
with a value of invalid (4). The varbind’s OID instance value identifies the row for deletion. You can
recreate a deleted row in the table if desired.
20.12.1.2 Row Creation in cMediaIndependentHistoryControlTable
SNMP row creation and deletion for the cMediaIndependentHistoryControlTable follows the same
processes as for the MediaIndependentTable; only the variables differ.
In order to create a row, the SetRequest PDU should contain the following:
• cMediaIndependentHistoryControlDataSource and its desired value
• cMediaIndependentHistoryControlOwner and its desired value
• cMediaIndependentHistoryControlStatus with a value of createRequest (2)20-27

Remote Monitoring
20.12.2 HC-RMON-MIB Support
For the ONS 15454, the implementation of the high-capacity remote monitoring information base
(HC-RMON-MIB, or RFC 3273) enables 64-bit support of existing RMON tables. This support is
provided with the etherStatsHighCapacityTable and the etherHistoryHighCapacityTable. An additional
table, the mediaIndependentTable, and an additional object, hcRMONCapabilities, are also added for
this support. All of these elements are accessible by any third-party SNMP client should have the ability
to upload RFC 3273 SNMP MIB variables in the etherStatsHighCapacityTable,
etherHistoryHighCapacityTable, or mediaIndependentTable.
20.12.3 Ethernet Statistics RMON Group
The Ethernet Statistics group contains the basic statistics monitored for each subnetwork in a single table
called the etherStatsTable.
20.12.3.1 Row Creation in etherStatsTable
The SetRequest PDU for creating a row in this table should contain all the values needed to activate a
row in a single set operation, and an assigned status variable to createRequest. The SetRequest PDU
object ID (OID) entries must all carry an instance value, or type OID, of 0.
In order to create a row, the SetRequest PDU should contain the following:
• The etherStatsDataSource and its desired value
• The etherStatsOwner and its desired value (size of this value is limited to 32 characters)
• The etherStatsStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
The etherStatsTable creates a row if the SetRequest PDU is valid according to the above rules. When the
row is created, the SNMP agent decides the value of etherStatsIndex. This value is not sequentially
allotted or contiguously numbered. It changes when an Ethernet interface is added or deleted. The newly
created row will have etherStatsStatus value of valid (1).
If the etherStatsTable row already exists, or if the SetRequest PDU values are insufficient or do not make
sense, the SNMP agent returns an error code.
Note EtherStatsTable entries are not preserved if the SNMP agent is restarted.
20.12.3.2 Get Requests and GetNext Requests
Get requests and getNext requests for the etherStatsMulticastPkts and etherStatsBroadcastPkts columns
return a value of zero because the variables are not supported by ONS 15454 Ethernet cards.
20.12.3.3 Row Deletion in etherStatsTable
To delete a row in the etherStatsTable, the SetRequest PDU should contain an etherStatsStatus “invalid”
value (4). The OID marks the row for deletion. If required, a deleted row can be recreated.20-28

Chapter 20 SNMP
Remote Monitoring
20.12.3.4 64-Bit etherStatsHighCapacity Table
The Ethernet statistics group contains 64-bit statistics in the etherStatsHighCapacityTable, which
provides 64-bit RMON support for the HC-RMON-MIB. The etherStatsHighCapacityTable is an
extension of the etherStatsTable that adds 16 new columns for performance monitoring data in 64-bit
format. There is a one-to-one relationship between the etherStatsTable and etherStatsHighCapacityTable
when rows are created or deleted in either table.
20.12.4 History Control RMON Group
The History Control group defines sampling functions for one or more monitor interfaces in the
historyControlTable. The values in this table, as specified in RFC 2819, are derived from the
historyControlTable and etherHistoryTable.
20.12.4.1 History Control Table
The RMON is sampled at one of four possible intervals. Each interval or period contains specific history
values (also called buckets). Table 20-12 lists the four sampling periods and corresponding buckets.
The historyControlTable maximum row size is determined by multiplying the number of ports on a card
by the number of sampling periods. For example, a card that contains 24 ports when multiplied by
periods allows 96 rows in the table. A card that contains 14 ports when multiplied by four periods allows
56 table rows.
20.12.4.2 Row Creation in historyControlTable
The SetRequest PDU must be able to activate a historyControlTable row in one single-set operation. In
order to do this, the PDU must contain all needed values and have a status variable value of 2
(createRequest). All OIDs in the SetRequest PDU should be type OID.0 type for entry creation.
To create a SetRequest PDU for the historyControlTable, the following values are required:
• The historyControlDataSource and its desired value
• The historyControlBucketsRequested and it desired value
• The historyControlInterval and its desired value
• The historyControlOwner and its desired value
• The historyControlStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
The historyControlBucketsRequested OID value is ignored because the number of buckets allowed for
each sampling period, based upon the historyControlInterval value, is already fixed. Table 20-12 lists
these variables.

Chapter 20 SNMP
Remote Monitoring
The historyControlInterval value cannot be changed from the four allowed choices. If you use another
value, the SNMP agent selects the closest smaller time period from the set buckets. For example, if the
set request specifies a 25-minute interval, this falls between the 15-minute (32 bucket) variable and the
60-minute (24 bucket) variable. The SNMP agent automatically selects the lower, closer value, which is
15 minutes, so it allows 32 buckets.
If the SetRequest PDU is valid, a historyControlTable row is created. If the row already exists, or if the
SetRequest PDU values do not make sense or are insufficient, the SNMP agent does not create the row
and returns an error code.
20.12.4.3 Get Requests and GetNext Requests
These PDUs are not restricted.
20.12.4.4 Row Deletion in historyControl Table
To delete a row from the table, the SetRequest PDU should contain a historyControlStatus value of 4
(invalid). A deleted row can be recreated.
20.12.5 Ethernet History RMON Group
The ONS 15454 implements the etherHistoryTable as defined in RFC 2819. The group is created within
the bounds of the historyControlTable and does not deviate from the RFC in its design.
20.12.5.1 64-Bit etherHistoryHighCapacityTable
64-bit Ethernet history for the HC-RMON-MIB is implemented in the etherHistoryHighCapacityTable,
which is an extension of the etherHistoryTable. The etherHistoryHighCapacityTable adds four columns
for 64-bit performance monitoring data. These two tables have a one-to-one relationship. Adding or
deleting a row in one table will also change the other.
20.12.6 Alarm RMON Group
The Alarm group consists of the alarmTable, which periodically compares sampled values with
configured thresholds and raises an event if a threshold is crossed. This group requires the
implementation of the event group, which follows this section.
20.12.6.1 Alarm Table
The NMS uses the alarmTable to determine and provision network performance alarmable thresholds.
20.12.6.2 Row Creation in alarmTable
To create a row in the alarmTable, the SetRequest PDU must be able to create the row in one single-set
operation. All OIDs in the SetRequest PDU should be type OID.0 type for entry creation. The table has
a maximum number of 256 rows.
To create a SetRequest PDU for the alarmTable, the following values are required:20-30
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Chapter 20 SNMP
Remote Monitoring
• The alarmInterval and its desired value
• The alarmVariable and its desired value
• The alarmSampleType and its desired value
• The alarmStartupAlarm and its desired value
• The alarmOwner and its desired value
• The alarmStatus with a value of createRequest (2)
If the SetRequest PDU is valid, a historyControlTable row is created. If the row already exists, or if the
SetRequest PDU values do not make sense or are insufficient, the SNMP agent does not create the row
and returns an error code.
In addition to the required values, the following restrictions must be met in the SetRequest PDU:
• The alarmOwner is a string of length 32 characters.
• The alarmRisingEventIndex always takes value 1.
• The alarmFallingEventIndex always takes value 2.
• The alarmStatus has only two values supported in SETs: createRequest (2) and invalid (4).
• The AlarmVariable is of the type OID.ifIndex, where ifIndex gives the interface this alarm is created
on and OID is one of the OIDs supported in Table 20-13.

IS-NR/Unlocked-enabled depends on correction of conditions. Alarm
reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried. Raised fault conditions,
whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the Cisco
Transport Controller (CTC) Conditions tab or by using the TL1
RTRV-COND command.
DSBLD disabled The entity was manually removed from service and does not provide its
provisioned functions. All services are disrupted; unable to carry traffic.
FLT failed The entity has a raised alarm or condition.
MEA mismatchOfEquipment An improper card is installed. For example, an installed card is not
compatible with the card preprovisioning or the slot. This SST applies
only to cards.
MT maintenance The entity has been manually removed from service for a maintenance
activity but still performs its provisioned functions. Alarm reporting is
suppressed, but traffic is carried. Raised fault conditions, whether or not
their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or
by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.
SWDL softwareDownload The card is involved in a software and database download. This SST
applies only to cards.
UAS unassigned The card is not provisioned in the database. This SST applies only to cards.
UEQ
(Unequipped)
notInstalled The card is not physically present (that is, an empty slot). This SST applies
only to cards.

Service State Transitions
B.3 Service State Transitions
This section describes the transition from one service state to the next state for DWDM shelves, cards,
optical payload ports, OSC ports, OCHNCs, and transponder/muxponder cards and ports. A service state
transition is based on the action performed on the entity and any autonomous activity.
Note When an entity is put in the OOS,MT administrative state, the ONS node suppresses all standing alarms
on that entity. All alarms and events appear on the Conditions tab. You can change this behavior for the
LPBKFACILITY and LPBKTERMINAL alarms. To display these alarms on the Alarms tab, set the
NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnOOS-MTPorts (ANSI) or
NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnPortsInLocked,Maintenance (ETSI) to TRUE on the NE
Defaults tab.

1. The transponder and muxponder cards have both client and trunk ports. To bring up service, it is not necessary for both the client side and trunk side to
be in the IS-NR (ANSI)/Unlocked-enabled (ETSI) service state.
2. In a client-side facility loopback, the client port is in the OOS-MA,LPBK & MT (ANSI)/Locked-enabled,loopback and maintenance (ETSI) service state
and the remaining client and trunk ports can be in any other service state. In a client-side terminal loopback on transponder cards, the client port is in
the OOS-MA,LPBK & MT service state and the trunk ports are in IS-NR (ANSI)/Unlocked-enabled (ETSI). For client-side terminal loopbacks on
muxponder cards, the client port is in the OOS-MA,LPBK & MT service state and the remaining client and trunk ports can be in any service state.
3. In a trunk-side facility loopback, the trunk port is in the OOS-MA,LPBK & MT (ANSI)/Locked-enabled,loopback and maintenance (ETSI) service state
and the remaining client and trunk ports can be in any other service state. In a trunk-side terminal loopback, the trunk port is in the OOS-MA,LPBK &
MT (ANSI)/Locked-enabled,loopback and maintenance (ETSI) service state and the client ports are in IS-NR (ANSI)/Unlocked-enabled (ETSI) for
complete loopback functionality. This type of loopback affects all client ports because it is performed on the aggregate signal.

APPENDIX C
Pseudo Command Line Interface Reference
This chapter describes Pseudo-IOS command line interface (PCLI) for GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and
10GE_XPE cards.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
C.1 Understanding PCLI
PCLI provides an IOS-like command line interface for GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE
cards in Layer 2 (L2) mode. PCLI employs the Cisco IOS Modular QoS CLI (MQC).
PCLI is a text interface from where you can operate, provision and retrieve GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE,
and 10GE_XPE card information. PCLI runs on the Timing, Communications, and Control (TCC) of the
node controller, to access card level information. PCLI acts as a Corba client and provides the same
provisioning mechanisms as CTC or TL1. PCLI can be accessed via CTC by selecting Tools > Open
Pseudo IOS Connection menu option or right-click on the node in the Network View and select Open
Pseudo IOS Connection. To access the PCLI text interface use Telnet, or SSH to open a shell session
to connect to a GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE card and input IOS-like commands.
To access PCLI from Windows XP, enter the following command at the Windows command prompt:
telnet
To access PCLI from Solaris 8, enter the following command:
ssh –p
telnet
The PCLI shell supports the 454 multi-shelf architecture. Multi-shelf supports 16 shelves with each shelf
containing 17 slots. The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, or 10GE_XPE cards can be inserted in any
Input/Output (IO) slot or shelf. PCLI also provides a command to virtually connect to a specified
shelf/slot. However, connection to a non-Xponder slot or to an Xponder slot that is not in L2 mode is not
supported. PCLI supports a maximum of 16 concurrent login sessions per node controller. A session can
be cancelled by logging out of the PCLI session or when the idle timer times out.
Note PCLI adheres to the idle user timeout period security policy set via CTC or TL1.C-2
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Appendix C Pseudo Command Line Interface Reference
PCLI Command Modes
Note For information on viewing security policies, refer the task, “DLP-G189 Change Security Policy for
Multiple Nodes” in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
If a PCLI session on a node using a given port number is open, the port number used by the PCLI session
cannot be changed. When connecting in a Non-Secure state to a node and a port, use the configured port
number for non-secured mode only, and when connecting via a Secure state to a node and a port, use the
configured port number for Secure mode.
C.1.1 PCLI Security
PCLI supports configurable secure or unsecure access with a configurable port number per access
mechanism. Use CTC to view or modify these settings. The default access state is “Non-secure” and the
default port number is “65000”.
PCLI supports an unsecured connection via Telnet and a secure connection via Secure Shell (SSH) by
using existing system authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) mechanisms. Login with
user/password that is configured at the Network Element (NE). Use CTC or TL1 to manage user
accounts.
Note If you have logged in to a PCLI connection in an Non-Secure state and change the connection via CTC
to a Secure one (or vice versa), the Non-Secure state in PCLI (or Secure, as the case may be) is closed
once the CTC configuration is completed.
For information on setting the access states (Non-secure or Secure), refer Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Procedure Guide.
C.2 PCLI Command Modes
The PCLI supports eight different command modes. Each command mode can be accessed by specifying
a command. The prompt changes to reflect the new command mode that you are in. Consequently, the
set of valid commands changes to reflect the sub-commands that are allowed within that mode.
The following section shows supported PCLI commands for each command mode.
C.2.1 Common Commands
The following commands are common across all command modes.
• ?—Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of commands available in each
command mode.
• !— Enter an exclamation symbol (!) at the system prompt to add comments.
• exit—Enter exit at the system prompt to exit from the mode you are currently in.
C.2.2 User EXEC Mode
Prompt: (>)C-3
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual, Release 9.2
78-19285-02
Appendix C Pseudo Command Line Interface Reference
PCLI Command Modes
After a successful login, the system goes to User Executive (EXEC) command mode. Most PCLI
commands in the User EXEC mode do not change system operation. The User EXEC mode allows you
to work on multiple GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards during a single session while
restricting the view at any given time to a single card in a specific shelf and slot. This mode displays
system wide parameters that span all cards in the node.
The following commands are supported in the User EXEC mode:
• enable shelf/slot
• show modules
• show users
C.2.3 Privileged EXEC Mode
Prompt: (#)
In general, the Privileged EXEC commands allow you to connect to remote devices, perform basic tests,
and lists system information. Most CLI commands in Privileged EXEC mode do not change or modify
provisioning and system operation. The most common EXEC commands are show commands and are
used to display configuration or operational data, and do not have capability to modify provisioning.
To enter privileged EXEC mode, use the enable shelf/slot command.
The following commands are part of Privileged EXEC mode:
• configure terminal
• reload
• show startup-config
• show users
• show ip igmp snooping groups vlan vlanid
• show interfaces
• show ethernet service instance name
• show vlan profiles
• show vlans
• show modules
• show controllers type port
• show history
• show policy-maps
• show policy-map name
• show policy-map type port
• show lacp [detail]
• ethernet oam remote-loopback
• show ethernet oam discovery
• show ethernet oam statistics
• show ethernet oam status
• show ethernet oam summaryC-4

• show interfaces rep
• show rep topology
C.2.4 Global Configuration Mode
Prompt: Node Name# (Config)
Enter global configuration mode from privileged EXEC mode. Global configuration commands
generally apply to the whole system rather than just one protocol or interface. You can enter other
configuration sub modes listed in this section from global configuration mode.
To enter global configuration mode, use the configure terminal command.
Note The node name can be configured by using CTC. Select Node view > General > General > Node Name
The following commands are part of global configuration mode:
• interface channel-group
• ethernet cfm ieee
• ethernet cfm domain
• ethernet cfm service
• mac-address-table learning vlan vlanid
• [no] mac-address-table learning interface type port
• [no] vlan vlan-id
• interface gigabitethernet port

C.2.7 Service Instance Configuration Mode
Prompt: (config-if-srv)
Service instance configuration mode is a sub mode of the interface configuration mode and can be used
to define service instances, i.e. Ethernet Flow Points (EFPs). EFPs are specific to a particular interface.
Multiple EFPs can be strung together to make an Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC).
The encapsulation commands can be used in any combination to implement flexible EFPs. However, the
dot1q and untagged commands must be used for selective mode translations, and the default command
must be used for transparent mode translations. The following restrictions apply to encapsulation
commands:
• Selective and transparent mode apply to a whole port and are mutually exclusive.
• Encapsulation default is for transparent translations. Only one transparent service instance is
allowed per port.
• Encapsulation untagged is for selective translation with no cvlan tag. If the operation is
DOUBLE_ADD (rewrite ingress tag push dot1q second-dot1q ),
only one service instance is allowed per port.
To enter service instance configuration mode, use the service instance ethernet name command.
The following commands are part of service instance configuration mode:
• encapsulation default
• encapsulation dot1q first cvlan last cvlan
• encapsulation untagged
• service-policy input name
• bridge-domain svlan
Note The encapsulation and rewrite commands are work together. These commands take effect only if the
following sequence is followed:
1. Enter the encapsulation command.C-7

PCLI Command Modes
2. Enter the rewrite command.
Note A service instance cannot be edited once user exits the service instance configuration mode. To make
changes to any of these parameters, delete the service instance and recreate it.
C.2.8 Policy Map Configuration Mode
Prompt: (config-pmap)
Enter policy map configuration mode from global configuration mode by using the policy-map
command to create a policy map or modify an existing policy map. This mode is part of the
quality-of-service (QoS) feature.
To attach a QoS policy to a specific interface, you must enter interface configuration mode from global
configuration mode by identifying the interface and then using the service-policy command to attach an
existing policy. QoS policy map provisioning can be accessed across multiple GE_XP, 10GE_XP,
GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards.
To enter policy map configuration mode, enter the policy-map name command from the global config
mode.
The following commands are part of policy map configuration mode:
• police cir percent % bc bytes be bytes
• set cos number
• wrr-queue cos-map queue-id cos1 … cosn
• wrr-queue queue-id weight 1-16 bandwidth percent %
C.2.9 VLAN Profile Config Mode
Prompt: (config-profile)
VLAN profile configuration mode can be used to provision the parameters for a VLAN profile. A VLAN
profile can later be applied to multiple VLANs. VLAN profile provisioning can be accessed across
multiple GE cards.
To enter VLAN profile configuration mode, use the vlan profile name command from the global config
mode.
The following commands are part of VLAN profile configuration mode:
• police cir percent % bc bytes be bytesC-8
