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

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.

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

circuit on a protected path, continue with Step 14.) CTC creates a primary and alternate circuit route (virtual SNCP) based on the following nodal diversity options. Select one of the following choices and follow subsequent window prompts to complete the routing:

• Nodal Diversity Required—Ensures that the primary and alternate paths within extended SNCP

portions of the complete circuit path are nodally diverse.

• Nodal Diversity Desired—Specifies that node diversity should be attempted, but if node diversity

is not possible, CTC creates link diverse paths for the extended SNCP portion of the complete circuit path.

• Link Diversity Only—Specifies that only link-diverse primary and alternate paths for extended

router. The default router forwards packets to network devices that the ONS 15454 SDH cannot directly access. This field is ignored if any of the following are true:

–

The ONS 15454 SDH is not connected to a LAN.

–

SOCKS proxy server is enabled and the ONS 15454 SDH is provisioned as an end network element (ENE).

mask length in bits) or click the arrows to adjust the subnet mask length. The subnet mask length is the same for all ONS 15454 SDH nodes in the same subnet.

• TCC CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port—Sets the ONS 15454 SDH IIOP listener port used to

communicate between the ONS 15454 SDH and CTC computers. This field is generally not changed unless the ONS 15454 SDH resides behind a firewall that requires a different port. See the

“NTP-D27 Set Up the ONS 15454 SDH for Firewall Access” procedure on page 4-8 for more

information.

• Gateway Settings—Provisions ONS 15454 SDH SOCK proxy server features. Do not select any of

these options until you review the SOCKS proxy server scenario in the “Management Network Connectivity” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual. In proxy server networks, the ONS 15454 SDH is either an ENE, a GNE, or a SOCKS proxy-only server. Provisioning must be consistent for each network element (NE) type.

• Enable proxy server on port—If checked, the ONS 15454 SDH serves as a proxy for connections

between CTC clients and ONS 15454 SDH nodes that are connected by DCCs to the proxy ONS 15454 SDH. The CTC client establishes connections to DCC-connected nodes through the proxy node. The CTC client does not require IP connectivity to the DCC-connected nodes, only to the proxy ONS 15454 SDH. If Enable SOCKS proxy server on port is off, the node does not proxy for any CTC clients. When this box is checked, you can provision one of the following options:

–

External Network Element (ENE)—Choose this option when the ONS 15454 SDH is not connected to a LAN but has DCC connections to other ONS nodes. A CTC computer connected to the ENE through the TCC2/TCC2P CRAFT or LAN port can manage nodes that have DCC connections to the ENE. However, the CTC computer does not have direct IP connectivity to these nodes or to any LAN/WAN that those nodes might be connected to.

–

Gateway Network Element (GNE)—Choose this option when the ONS 15454 SDH is connected to a LAN and has DCC connections to other nodes. A CTC computer connected to the LAN can manage all nodes that have DCC connections to the GNE, but the CTC computer does not have direct IP connectivity to them. The GNE option isolates the LAN from the DCC network so that IP traffic originating from the DCC-connected nodes and any CTC computers connected to them is prevented from reaching the LAN.

–

SOCKS Proxy-Only—Choose this option when the ONS 15454 SDH is connected to a LAN and the LAN is separated from the node by a firewall. The SOCKS Proxy Only is the same as the GNE option, except the SOCKS Proxy Only option does not isolate the DCC network from the LAN.

000.000.000.000 and 255.255.255.255. The number must be unique to the LAN OSPF area.

• RS-DCC Metric—This value is normally not changed. It sets a cost for sending packets across the

regenerator-section DCC (RS-DCC), which is used by OSPF routers to calculate the shortest path. This value should always be higher than the LAN metric. The default RS-DCC metric is 100.

• MS-DCC Metric—Sets a cost for sending packets across the multiplex section DCC (MS-DCC).

This value should always be lower than the RS-DCC metric. The default MS-DCC metric is 33. It is usually not changed.

Step 3 In the OSPF on LAN area, complete the following:

• OSPF active on LAN—When checked, enables the ONS 15454 SDH OSPF topology to be

advertised to OSPF routers on the LAN. Enable this field on ONS 15454 SDH nodes that directly connect to OSPF routers.

• LAN Port Area ID—Enter the OSPF area ID (dotted decimal format) for the router port where the

ONS 15454 SDH is connected. (This number is different from the DCC OSPF area ID.)

Step 4 By default, OSPF is set to No Authentication. If the OSPF router requires authentication, complete the

following steps. If not, continue with Step 5.

a. Click the No Authentication button.

b. In the Edit Authentication Key dialog box, complete the following:

• Type—Choose Simple Password.

• Enter Authentication Key—Enter the password.

• Confirm Authentication Key—Enter the same password to confirm it.

c. Click OK.

The authentication button label changes to Simple Password.

DLP- D250 Set Up or Change Open Shortest Path First Protocol

Step 5 Provision the OSPF priority and interval settings:

The OSPF priority and interval defaults are ones most commonly used by OSPF routers. Verify that these defaults match the ones used by the OSPF router where the ONS 15454 SDH is connected:

• Router Priority—Selects the designated router for a subnet.

• Hello Interval (sec)—Sets the number of seconds between OSPF hello packet advertisements sent

by OSPF routers. Ten seconds is the default.

• Dead Interval—Sets the number of seconds that will pass while an OSPF router’s packets are not

visible before its neighbors declare the router down. Forty seconds is the default.

• Transit Delay (sec)—Indicates the service speed. One second is the default.

• Retransmit Interval (sec)—Sets the time that will elapse before a packet is resent. Five seconds is

the default.

• LAN Metric—Sets a cost for sending packets across the LAN. This value should always be lower

than the DCC metric. Ten is the default.

Step 6 Under OSPF Area Range Table, create an area range table if one is needed:

Note Area range tables consolidate the information that is outside an OSPF area border. One

ONS 15454 SDH in the ONS 15454 SDH OSPF area is connected to the OSPF router. An area range table on this node points the router to the other nodes that reside within the ONS 15454 SDH OSPF area.

Chapter 19 DLPs D200 to D299

a. Under OSPF Area Range Table, click Create.

b. In the Create Area Range dialog box, enter the following:

• Range Address—Enter the area IP address for the ONS 15454 SDH nodes that reside within the

OSPF area. For example, if the ONS 15454 SDH OSPF area includes nodes with IP addresses

10.10.20.100, 10.10.30.150, 10.10.40.200, and 10.10.50.250, the range address would be

10.10.0.0.

• Range Area ID—Enter the OSPF area ID for the ONS 15454 SDH nodes. This is either the ID

in the DCC OSPF Area ID field or the ID in the Area ID for LAN Port field.

• Mask Length—Enter the subnet mask length. In the Range Address example, this is 16.

• Advertise—Check if you want to advertise the OSPF range table.

c. Click OK.

Step 7 All OSPF areas must be connected to Area 0. If the ONS 15454 SDH OSPF area is not physically

connected to Area 0, use the following steps to create a virtual link table that will provide the disconnected area with a logical path to Area 0:

a. Under OSPF Virtual Link Table, click Create.

b. In the Create Virtual Link dialog box, complete the following fields. OSPF settings must match

OSPF settings for the ONS 15454 SDH OSPF area.

• Neighbor—The router ID of the Area 0 router.

• Transit Delay (sec)—The service speed. One second is the default.

• Hello Int (sec)—The number of seconds between OSPF hello packet advertisements sent by

OSPF routers. Ten seconds is the default.

• Auth Type—If the router where the ONS 15454 SDH is connected uses authentication, choose

Simple Password. Otherwise, choose No Authentication.

DLP- D264 Provision a J1 Path Trace on Circuit Source and Destination Ports

Note If neither port is on a transmit/receive card, you will not be able to complete this procedure. If

one port is on a transmit/receive card and the other is on a receive-only card, you can set up the transmit string at the transmit/receive port and the receive string at the receive-only port, but you will not be able to transmit in both directions.

Step 4 Choose the VC3 or VC4 circuit you want to trace, then click Edit.

Step 5 If you chose a VCAT circuit, complete the following. If not, continue with Step 6.

a. In the Edit Circuit window, click the Members tab.

b. Click Edit Member and continue with Step 6.

Step 6 In the Edit Circuit window, click the Show Detailed Map check box at the bottom of the window. A

detailed map of the source and destination ports appears.

Step 7 Provision the circuit source transmit string:

a. On the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit source port (the square on the left or right of the

source node icon) and choose Edit J1 Path Trace (port) from the shortcut menu.

b. Choose the format of the transmit string by clicking either the 16 byte or the 64 byte selection

button.

c. In the New Transmit String field, enter the circuit source transmit string. Enter a string that makes

the source port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.

d. Click Apply, then click Close.

Chapter 19 DLPs D200 to D299

Step 8 Provision the circuit destination transmit string:

a. On the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit destination port and choose Edit Path Trace from

the shortcut menu.

b. In the New Transmit String field, enter the string that you want the circuit destination to transmit.

Enter a string that makes the destination port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.

c. Click Apply.

Step 9 Provision the circuit destination expected string:

a. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual

from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:

• Auto—The first string received from the source port is automatically provisioned as the current

expected string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.

• Manual—The string entered in Current Expected String is the baseline. An alarm is raised when

a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.

b. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit destination should

receive from the circuit source in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto, skip this step.

c. Click the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the AIS

and remote defect indication (RDI) when the VC3 or VC4 High-Order Path Trace Identifier Mismatch (HP-TIM) or Low-Order Path Trace Identifier Mismatch (LP-TIM) alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and conditions.
