state does not interrupt traffic flow and loopbacks are allowed, but alarm reporting is suppressed.
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. Use the
Locked-enabled,maintenance service state for testing or to suppress alarms temporarily. A port must
be in this service state before you can apply a loopback. Change to the Unlocked-enabled or
Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService when testing is complete.
• Unlocked,automaticInService—Puts the port in the Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService
service state. In this service state, alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks
are allowed. After the soak period passes, the port changes to Unlocked-enabled. Raised fault
conditions, whether their alarms are reported or not, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or
by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.

Note Provisioning SD-P or SF-P thresholds on the Circuit Attributes page of the Circuit Creation wizard sets
the values only for SNCP-protected spans. The circuit source and destination use the node default values
of 10E-4 for SD-P and 10E-6 for SF-P for unprotected circuits and for the source and drop of SNCP
circuits.
Step 1 In the SNCP area of the Circuit Attributes page, set the SNCP path selectors:
• Provision working go & return on primary path—Check this box to route the working path on one
fiber pair and the protect path on a separate fiber pair. This feature only applies to bidirectional
SNCP circuits.
• Revertive—Check this box if you want traffic to revert to the working path when the conditions that
diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If you do not choose Revertive, traffic remains on the
protect path after the switch.
• Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, click the Reversion time field and choose a reversion time
from the drop-down list. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. This is the
amount of time that will elapse before the traffic reverts to the working path. Traffic can revert when
conditions causing the switch are cleared.
• SF threshold—For high-order circuits, set the SNCP path-level signal failure (SF) bit error rate
(BER) thresholds. Unavailable for low-order circuits.
• SD threshold—For high-order circuits, set the SNCP path-level signal degrade (SD) BER
thresholds. Unavailable for low-order circuits.

DLP- D221 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports for VLAN Membership
Note Both 1000 Full and Auto modes set the E1000-2-G port to the 1000 Mbps and Full duplex
operating mode; however, flow control is disabled when 1000 Full is selected. Choosing
Auto mode enables the E1000-2-G card to autonegotiate flow control. Flow control is a
mechanism that prevents network congestion by ensuring that transmitting devices do not
overwhelm receiving devices with data. The E1000-2-G port handshakes with the connected
network device to determine if that device supports flow control.
• Enabled—Check this check box to activate the corresponding Ethernet port.
• Priority—Choose a queuing priority for the port. Options range from 0 (Low) to 7 (High). Priority
queuing (IEEE 802.1Q) reduces the impact of network congestion by mapping Ethernet traffic to
different priority levels. Refer to the priority queuing information in the Ethernet Card Software
Feature and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and
Cisco ONS 15327. This parameter does not apply to an E-Series card in port-mapped mode.
• Stp Enabled—Click this check box to enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the port. This
parameter does not apply to an E-Series card in port-mapped mode. Refer to the spanning tree
information in the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the
Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.

DLP- D221 Provision E-Series Ethernet Ports for VLAN Membership
egress frames do not have their tags removed.
• If a port is a member of only one VLAN, choose Untag from the Port column in the VLAN’s row.
Choose -- for all the other VLAN rows in that Port column.
Note The VLAN with Untag selected can connect to the port, but other VLANs cannot access that
port.
• Choose Tagged at all VLAN rows tha t need to be trunked . Choose Untag at VLAN rows that do not
need to be trunked, for example, the default VLAN.
Note Each Ethernet port must be attached to at least one untagged VLAN. A trunk port connects
multiple VLANs to an external device, such as a switch, which also supports trunking. A
trunk port must have tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) enabled for all the VLANs that connect to that
external device.
Step 4 After each port is in the appropriate VLAN, click Apply. Table 19-3 lists the VLAN settings.
Note If Tagged is chosen, the attached external Ethernet devices must recognize IEEE 802.1Q
VLANs.
Note Both ports on an E1000-2-G card cannot be members of the same VLAN.

• Max Size—To permit the acceptance of jumbo size Ethernet frames, choose Jumbo (default). If you
do not want to permit jumbo size Ethernet frames, choose 1548.
Chapter 19 DLPs D200 to D299
Note The maximum frame size of 1548 bytes enables the port to accept valid Ethernet frames that
use protocols, such as Inter-Switch Link (ISL) protocol. ISL adds 30 bytes of overhead and
might cause the frame size to exceed the traditional 1518 byte maximum.
• Payload Type—Click in the Payload Type field and select a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) size to
set the G-Series card’s LEX encapsulation:
–
LEX-FCS-16 is 16-bit (2 byte) CRC.
