Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product,
technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC
Escalation Center. The avenue of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the
conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.
We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:
• Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities,
product installation, or basi c product configuration.
• Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network perform ance is degrade d. Network fu nction ality is not iceabl y
impaired, but most business operations continue.
• Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production ne twork is severely degraded, affect ing significant asp ects
of business operations. No workar oun d is available.
• Priority leve l 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations
will occur if se rv ice is n ot r esto re d qui ck ly. No workaround i s available.
Cisco TAC Website
You can use the Cisco TAC website to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The
site provides around-t he-c lock acc ess t o on lin e tools, kn owledge ba ses, an d so ftware . To access the

Optical Supervisory Channel
The Cisco ONS 1 5530 s upports an optiona l out-of-ba nd manage ment ch annel fo r commu nicating
between systems on the network. Using a 33rd wavelength (channel 0), the OSC allows control and
management traffic to be carried without a separate Ethernet connection to each Cisco ONS 15530 in the
network. The OSC always terminates on a neighboring node. By contrast, data channels may or may not
be terminated on a given node, depending on whether the channels on the OADM modules are treated as
either express (pass-through) or add/drop channels.
The OSC carries the following types of information:
• CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) pac kets—Used to discover neighborin g devices
• IP packets—Use d for SN MP a nd Telnet sessions between nod es
• OSCP (OSC Protocol) packet s—Used to det ermi n e w heth er the OS C link is up us ing a Hell o

• About Cisco IOS Command Modes, page 2-1
• Interface Naming Co nventions, page 2 -4
• Configuration Overview, page 2-7
About the CLI
You can configure the Cisco ONS 15530 from the CLI (comma nd-line in terfa ce) that run s on the syst em
console or terminal, or by using remo te acc ess.
CHAPTER

To use the CLI, y our te rmin al mus t be c on necte d to th e C isco ONS 15530 thr ough the cons ole port o r
one of the TTY lines. By default, the terminal is configured to a basic configuration, which should work
for most terminal sessions.
About Cisco IOS Command Modes
The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into many different modes. The commands available to you
depend on which mode you are curre ntly in. To get a list of the commands available in a given mode,
type a question mark (?) at the system pr ompt.
When you start a session on the system, you begin in user mode, also called EXEC mode. Only a limited
subset of the comman ds are available in EXEC mode. To have access to all commands, you must enter
privileged EXEC mode. Normally, you must type in a password to access privileged EXEC mode. From
privileged mode, you can type in any EXEC command or access global configuration mode. Most of the
EXEC commands are one-time commands, such as show commands, which show the current
configuration status, and clear commands, w hich cle ar coun ters or i nterf aces. T he EXEC co mmands are
not saved across system reboots or across processor switchovers.
You can mon itor an d control the stan dby processor wit h command s ente red on the active processor. A
subset of EXEC a nd pr ivileged EX EC c om mands a re available throu gh th e st andby pr oc es sor co nsol e.
NoteYou can easily determine if you are accessing the active or the standby processor: The standby
processor has “sby-” prefixed to the command pro mpt.

About Cisco IOS Command Modes
The configuration mode s al low you to make c hange s to the runni ng co nfigurati on . If yo u lat er save the
configuration, these commands are stored across system reboots. You must start at global configuration
mode. From global configurat ion mode , you can ent er inter face configur ation mode , subinte rface
configuration mode, an d a variety submod es .
ROM (Read-only memory) monitor mode is a separate mode used when the system cannot boot properly.
For example, your system or access server might enter ROM monitor mode if it does not find a valid
system image when it is booting, or if its configuration file is corrupted at startup.
Table 2-1 lists and describes the most commonly used modes, how to enter the modes, and the resulting
system prompts. The sy stem p rompt helps yo u id ent if y whi ch mod e yo u a re in a nd, t h eref ore , w hic h

The NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a utility for synchronizing system clocks over the network,
providing a precise time base for networked workstations and servers. In the NTP model, a hierarchy of
primary and secondar y servers pass time keeping info rmation by way of the Inte rnet to cross- check
clocks and co rrec t err ors ari si ng fr om e quipm en t or p rop agat ion fa ilu res .
An NTP server must be accessible by the client switch. NTP runs over UDP (User Datagram Protocol),
which in turn runs over IP. NTP is documented in RFC 1305. All NTP communication uses UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time), which is the same as Greenwich Mean Time. An NTP network usually
gets its time from an authoritative time source, such as a radio clock or an atomic clock attached to a
time server. NTP distributes this time across the network. NTP is extremely efficient; no more than one
packet per minute is necessary to synchronize two machines to within a millisecond of one another.
NTP uses a stratum to describe how many NTP hops away a machine is from an authoritative time
source. A stratum 1 time ser ver has a radio or atomic clock dire ctly att ached , a stra tum 2 time ser ver
receives its time from a stratum 1 time server, and so on. A machine running NTP automatically chooses
as its time source the machine wit h the lo w est stratum number that it is co nf igured to communi cate with
through NTP. This strategy effectively builds a self-organizing tree of NTP speakers.

Cisco ONS 15530 Configuration Guide and Command Reference
78-14227-01, Cisco IOS Release 12.1(10)EV2
Chapter 3 Initial Configuration
NTP has two ways to avoid synchroniz ing to a m achi ne whose time mi ght be a mbig uous:
• NTP never synchronizes to a machine that is not synchronized itself.
• NTP compares the time rep orte d by se v eral m achines and do es not synchro nize to a mac hine whos e
The communications between machines running NTP, known as associations, are usually statically
configured; each ma chine is gi ven the IP add ress of all mach ines with which it should f orm asso ciations.
Accurate timekeeping i s possible by exchanging NTP messages between each pair of machines with an
association.
The Cisco implementation of NTP does not support stratum 1 service; it is not possible to connect to a
radio or atomic clock. We recommend that you obtain the time service for your network from the public
NTP servers available in the IP Internet. If the network is isolated from the Internet, the Cisco NTP
implementation allo ws a machin e to be conf igured so th at it acts as though it is synchronize d using NTP,
when in fact it has determined the time using other means. Other machines then synchronize to that
machine using NTP.
A number of manufacturers inc lude NT P so ftware for their host systems, a nd a version for systems
running UNIX and its various derivatives is also publicly available. This software allows host systems
to be time-synchronized as well.

time is significantly different from the others, even if its stratum is lower.
Configuring NTP
NTP services are enabled on all interfaces by default. You can configure your Cisco ONS 15530 in either
of the following NTP associations:
• Peer association—This system either sync hron izes to th e other syst em or al lo ws th e other sy stem to
synchronize to it.
• Server association—This system synchronizes to the other system, and not the other way around.
From global configurat ion mod e, us e t he f ol lowing pro cedur e to c onfigure NTP in a ser ver associ ati on

About CPU Switch Module Redundancy
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports fault tolerance by allowing the standby CPU switch module to take over
if the active CPU switch module fails. This standby, or redundant, CPU switch module runs in
hot-standby state. In hot-sta ndby state, the stand by CPU switch mo dule is partially boo ted with Cisco
IOS software, but no configuration is loaded.
At the time of a switchover from the active CPU switch module, the standby CPU switch module
becomes active and loads the configuration as follows:
• If the running configuration file on the ac tive and standby CPU switch module s match, the new
active CPU switch module uses the running configuration file.
• If the running configu ration f ile on the ne w acti v e CPU switch module is missing or in v alid, t he ne w
active CPU switch module uses the startup configuration file in its NVRAM (not the NVRAM of
the former active CPU switch module).
The former active CPU switch module then reloads and becomes the standby CPU switch module.
NoteIf the standby CPU switch module is unavailable, the system reports a minor alarm. Use the show
facility-alarm status command to display the redundancy alarm status.
When the Cisco ONS 15530 is powered on, the two CPU switch module s arbitrate to de termine which
is the active CPU switch modul e and which is the standby CPU switch module. The follo wing rules apply
during arbitration:
• A newly inserted CPU switch module a lways come s up as the st andby CPU sw itch mo dule , except
in cases where the newly inserted card is the only one present.
3-8
• If one of the CPU switch modules cannot boot its software image, the redundant CPU switch module
boots as the ac tive CPU switch m odule , a llowing yo u to cor re ct th e situa tion m anua lly.
• The primary route pro cessor at the time the system is powered off continue s as the prim ary when
the system is powered on.
• If none of the above conditions is true, the CPU switch module in slot 6 becomes the active CPU
switch module.

Redundant Operation Requirements
For fully redundant operatio n, the following requi remen ts must be met:
• Two CPU switch modules are required.
• The CPU switch modules must have identical hardware configurations. This includes variables such
as DRAM size, a nd so on.
• Both CPU switch modules must have the same functional image.
• Both CPU switch modules must be running compatible system images. System images are
compatible across one major release.
• Both the running and startup configurations are automatically synchronized between the CPU
switch modules.
• Both CPU switch modules must be set to autoboot (a default setting).
If these require me nts are m et, the Ci sco ONS 15530 runs i n r ed und ant mod e by de fault. If they ar e n ot
met, the system is conditiona lly redunda nt.

About the Software Configuration Register
The Cisco ONS 15530 uses a 16-bit software configuration register to set specific system parameters.
Settings for the software configuration register are written into NVRAM (nonvolatile random access
memory).
You can ch ange the software configura tion register set tings fo r the following rea sons:
• Force the system into the ROM monitor or boot ROM
• Select a boot source and default boot filena me
• Enable or disable the bre ak functio n
• Control broadcast addresses
• Set the console terminal baud rate
• Load operati ng so ft war e fr om Fl as h m em or y

settings might be combinations of settings and not just the individual settings listed in Table 3-4.
For example, the value of 0x0101 is a combination of settings (bit 8 is 0x0100 and bits 00 through 03
are 0x0001).

00 to 030x0000 to 0x000FControls the system boot behavior (also known as the boot field)

140x40 00Uses IP broadcast s w ithou t ne twork nu mb ers
150x8000Enables diagnostic messages and ignores the NVRAM contents
Bit 8 controls the console break function. Setting bit 8 (the factory default) causes the system to ignore
the console break key . Clearing bit 8 causes the system to use the break key or break signal as a command
to force the system into the bootstrap monitor (ROMMON), thereby halting normal operation.
Regardless of the setting of the brea k enab le bit, a bre ak cause s a return t o the ROMMON during th e
first few seconds (approximately five seconds) of boot ing.
Bit 9 controls the sec ond ary bootst r ap pr ogr am f unc tion. Se ttin g b it 9 causes the system t o u se the
secondary bootstrap. Cl earing bi t 9 (the factory de fault) causes the system t o ignore the se conda ry
bootstrap. The secon dary bo otstrap prog ram is used for system debugging and diag nostic s.
Bit 10 controls the host portion of the IP broad cast add ress. Setting bit 10 causes the system to use all
zeros. Clearing bit 10 (the factory default) cause s the system to use all ones. Bit 10 interacts with bit 14,
which controls the network and subn et portions of th e IP broadcas t address.

Default System Boot Behavior
The factory default value for the co nfiguration regi ster on the Cisco ONS 15530 is 0x2102 . When th e

• The system attempts to load the system images specif ied in the boot system commands in the startup
configuration file. If no boot system commands are config ured, the sys tem a ttempts to load t he first
system image stored on t he Fl ash me mory device in slot 0.

• After five failed attempts to load a system image on the Flash memory device in slot 0, the system
loads the first system image from Flash memory. If that attempt fails, the system stays in ROMMON
mode.

You can enter only the boot command, or you can include additional boot instructions, such as the name
of a file stored in Fla sh me mory or a file that you spe c ify for b oot ing fr om a n etwork ser ver.

To configure patch connections on th e Cisco ONS 15530, perform the following steps:
Step 1Configure the patch connect ions betwe en the OADM modules an d the wavepatch interface of the

Configuring Protocol Encapsulation or Clock Rate
A transparent interface does not terminate the protocol of the signal it receives, but it does convert it
from an optical signal to an electrical signal and back to an optical signal. Therefore, you must configure
the signal transmission rate by specifying either the protocol encapsulation or the clock rate.

About Transponder Line Card Channel Frequencies
The transponder line card supported by the Cisco ONS 15530 is tunable to one of two frequencies. These
frequencies are adjacent on the ITU grid. For example, a transponder line card can support the
frequencies for c hanne l 5 and channel 6, but not for cha nnel 5 and chann el 8. By default, th e
transponder line car d operat es at the las er freq uency for the lower channel num ber. However, you can
configure the transponder line card to operate at the laser frequency for the higher channel number using
the CLI.
Configuring Transponder Line Card Channel Frequency

quality of the signal.
The following protocols can be monitored :
• ESCON (Enterprise System s Connec tion)
• Fibre Channel (1 Gb ps o nly)
• FICON (Fiber Conn ect ion) ( 1 Gbp s o nl y)
• Gigabit Ethernet
• SDH (Synchronous Digi tal Hiera rchy) (ST M -1, ST M-4, STM -16)
• SONET (OC-3, OC- 12, O C- 48)
• ISC (compatibility mode only)

Configuring Protocol Monitoring
For SONET errors, the Cisco ONS 15530 monitors the SONET section overhead only, not the SONET
line overhead. Specifically, the Cisco ONS 15530 monitors the B1 byte and the framing bytes. The
system can detect the following defe ct condi tions:
• Loss of light
• Loss of lock (wh en the c loc k ca nno t be recovered fr om t he r ec eived data st ream )
• Severely errored frame
• Loss of frame
For SONET performance, the system monitors the B1 byte, which is used to compute the four SONET
section layer performa nce moni tor para meters:
The definitions for these ac ronyms come from t he Telcordia SONET standard spec page 6-1 10.
• SEFS-S (second severely errored fr am ing secon ds)
