Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up Basic Node Information 3.2 Setting Up Basic Node Information Setting basic information for each Cisco ONS 15454 node is one of the first provisioning tasks you perform. This information includes node name, location, contact, and timing. Completing the information for each node facilitates ONS 15454 management, particularly when the node is connected to a large ONS 15454 network.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up Network Information Subnetting enables LAN administrators to create subnetworks that are transparent to the Internet. Within networks, ONS 15454s often exist as subnetworks, which are created by adding a subnet mask to the ONS 15454 IP address. The following procedure tells you how to set up the essential ONS 15454 networking information.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up Network Information Figure 3-1 Setting up general network information Step 3 Click Apply. Step 4 Click Yes on the confirmation dialog box. Both ONS 15454 TCC+ cards will reboot, one at a time. Procedure: Change IP Address, Default Router, and Network Mask Using the LCD You can change the ONS 15454 IP address, subnet mask, and default router address using the Slot, Status, and Port buttons on the front panel LCD.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up Network Information Selecting the IP address option Slot Status Port Slot-0 Status=IpAddress FAN FAIL MAJ MIN Press the Status button to display the node IP address (Figure 3-3), the node subnet mask length, or default router IP address. Figure 3-3 Changing the IP address Slot Status Port 172.020.214.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Creating Users and Setting Security Saving the new configuration causes the TCC+ cards to reboot. During the reboot, a “Saving Changes TCC Reset” message displays on the LCD. The LCD returns to the normal alternating display after the TCC+ reboot is complete. 3.4 Creating Users and Setting Security The CISCO15 user provided with each ONS 15454 can be used to set up other ONS 15454 users. You can add up to 500 users to one ONS 15454.

Chapter 3 Node Setup Creating Users and Setting Security Procedure: Create New Users Step 1 In network view, select the Provisioning > Security tabs. Step 2 On the Security pane, click Create. Step 3 In the Create User dialog box, enter the following: • Name—Type the user name. • Password—Type the user password.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Creating Protection Groups Step 5 Click OK and click Apply. 3.5 Creating Protection Groups The ONS 15454 provides several card protection methods. When you set up protection for ONS 15454 cards, you must choose between maximum protection and maximum slot availability. The highest protection reduces the number of available card slots; the highest slot availability reduces the protection. Table 3-3 shows the protection types that can be set up for ONS 15454 cards.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Creating Protection Groups Based on these selections, a list of available working cards or ports is displayed under Available Cards or Available Ports. Figure 3-6 shows a 1+1 protection group. Figure 3-6 Creating a 1+1 protection group Step 4 From the Available Cards or Available Ports list, choose the card or port that you want to be the working card or port (the card(s) or port(s) that will be protected by the card or port selected in Protect Cards or Protect Ports).
Chapter 3 Node Setup Creating Protection Groups Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Line tabs. Step 3 Change the port status to In Service. Step 4 Click Apply. Procedure: Edit Protection Groups Step 1 From the CTC node view, click the Provisioning > Protection tabs (Figure 3-7). Figure 3-7 Editing protection groups Step 2 In the Protection Groups section, choose a protection group. Step 3 In the Selected Group section, edit the fields as appropriate.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing Step 2 Verify that working traffic is not running on the protect card: a. In the Protection Groups section, choose the group you want to delete. b. In the Selected Group section, verify that the protect card is in standby mode. If it is in standby mode, continue with Step 3. If it is active, complete Step c. c. If the working card is in standby mode, manually switch traffic back to the working card.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing 3.6.1 Network Timing Example Figure 3-8 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.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing 3.6.2 Synchronization Status Messaging Synchronization Status Messaging (SSM) is a 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. They enable SONET devices to automatically select the highest quality timing reference and to avoid timing loops. SSM messages are either Generation 1 or Generation 2.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing Step 3 • Timing Mode—Set to External if the ONS 15454 derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the backplane pins; set to Line if timing is derived from an OC-N card that is optically connected to the timing node. A third option, Mixed, allows you to set external and line timing references. (Because Mixed timing may cause timing loops, Cisco does not recommend its use. Use this mode with care.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing – Timing Mode set to Line—options are the node’s working optical cards and Internal Clock. Select the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source, that is, the node’s trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 5 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, select Slot 5 as Reference 1.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing Procedure: Set Up Internal Timing If no BITS source is available, you can set up internal timing by timing all nodes in the ring from the internal clock of one node. Caution Internal timing is Stratum 3 and not intended for permanent use. All ONS 15454s should be timed to a Stratum 2 or better primary reference source. Step 1 Log into the node that will serve as the timing source. Step 2 In the CTC node view, click the Provisioning > Timing tabs.
Chapter 3 Node Setup Viewing ONS 15454 Inventory Step 11 Repeat Steps 7–10 at each node that will be timed by the node in Step 3. 3.7 Viewing ONS 15454 Inventory The Inventory tab (Figure 3-10) displays information about cards installed in the ONS 15454 node including part numbers, serial numbers, hardware revisions, and equipment types. The tab provides a central location to obtain information and to determine applicability of ONS 15454 Product Change Notices (PCNs) and Field Service Bulletins (FSBs).
Chapter 3 Node Setup Viewing CTC Software Versions • HW Part #—Card part number; this number is printed on the top of the card • HW Rev—Card revision number • Serial #—Card serial number; this number is unique to each card • CLEI Code—Common Language Equipment Identifier code • Firmware Rev—Revision number of the software used by the ASIC chip installed on the card 3.

C H A P T E R 4 IP Networking This chapter explains how to set up Cisco ONS 15454s in internet protocol (IP) networks and includes: • Scenarios showing Cisco ONS 15454s in common IP network configurations • Procedures for creating static routes • Procedures for using the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol The chapter does not provide a comprehensive explanation of IP networking concepts and procedures.
Chapter 4 IP Networking ONS 15454 IP Addressing Scenarios 4.2 ONS 15454 IP Addressing Scenarios ONS 15454 IP addressing generally has seven common scenarios or configurations. Use the scenarios as building blocks for more complex network configurations. Table 4-1 provides a general list of items to check when setting up ONS 15454s in IP networks. Additional procedures for troubleshooting Ethernet connections and IP networks are provided in Chapter 9, “Ethernet Operation.

Chapter 4 IP Networking ONS 15454 IP Addressing Scenarios Step 4 • Mask—Enter a subnet mask. If the destination is a host route (i.e., one CTC computer), enter a 32-bit subnet mask (255.255.255.255). If the destination is a subnet, adjust the subnet mask accordingly, for example, 255.255.255.0. If the destination is 0.0.0.0, enter a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 to provide access to all CTC computers. • Next Hop—Enter the IP address of the router port (in this example, 192.168.90.

Figure 4-9 shows the same network without OSPF. Static routes must be manually added to the router in order for CTC computers on LAN A to communicate with ONS 15454 #2 and #3 because these nodes reside on different subnets. OSPF divides networks into smaller regions, called areas.

Chapter 4 IP Networking ONS 15454 IP Addressing Scenarios Figure 4-10 Enabling OSPF on the ONS 15454 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 On the top left side, complete the following: • DCC OSPF Area ID—Enter the number that identifies the ONS 15454s as a unique OSPF area. The OSPF area number can be an integer between 0 and 4294967295, and it can take a form similar to an IP address. The number must be unique to the LAN OSPF area. • DCC Metric—This value is normally unchanged.
Chapter 4 IP Networking ONS 15454 IP Addressing Scenarios The OSPF priority and intervals default to values most commonly used by OSPF routers. In the Priority and Invervals area, verify that these values match those used by the OSPF router where the ONS 15454 is connected. Step 7 • Router Priority—Used to select 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.

C H A P T E R 5 SONET Topologies This chapter explains how to set up the Cisco ONS 15454 in different SONET topologies, including: • Two-fiber and four-fiber bidirectional line switched rings (BLSRs) • Unidirectional path switched rings (UPSRs) • Subtending rings • Linear add/drop multiplexers (ADMs) • Path-protected mesh networks (PPMNs) 5.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings Note Two-fiber BLSRs can support up to 24 ONS 15454s, but switch times are slightly longer for rings containing more than 16 nodes. BLSRs with 16 or fewer nodes will meet the GR-1230 switch time requirement. Four-fiber BLSRs can only support 16 nodes. 5.2.1 Two-Fiber BLSRs In two-fiber BLSRs, each fiber is divided into working and protect bandwidths.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings The SONET K1 and K2 bytes carry the information that governs BLSR protection switches. Each BLSR node monitors the K bytes to determine when to switch the SONET signal to an alternate physical path. The K bytes communicate failure conditions and actions taken between nodes in the ring. If a break occurs on one fiber, working traffic targeted for a node beyond the break switches to the protect bandwidth on the second fiber.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings Figure 5-3 Four-node, two-fiber BLSR traffic pattern following line break Node 0 Node 3 OC-48 Ring Node 1 Fiber 1 Node 2 Fiber 2 61957 Traffic flow 5.2.2 Four-Fiber BLSRs Four-fiber BLSRs double the bandwidth of two-fiber BLSRs. Because they allow span switching as well as ring switching, four-fiber BLSRs increase the reliability and flexibility of traffic protection.

Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings 5.2.3 BLSR Bandwidth BLSR nodes can terminate traffic that is fed from either side of the ring. Therefore, BLSRs are suited for distributed node-to-node traffic applications such as interoffice networks and access networks. BLSRs allow bandwidth to be reused around the ring and can carry more traffic than a network with traffic flowing through one central hub. BLSRs can also carry more traffic than a UPSR operating at the same OC-N rate.

Step 4 On the Create SDCC Terminations dialog, press Ctrl and click the two slots/ports that will serve as the BLSR ports at the node. For example, Slot 5 (OC-48)/Port 1 and Slot 12 (OC-48)/ Port 1.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings Figure 5-13 Enabling an optical port Step 5 Repeat Steps 2 – 4 for the other optical card configured as a DCC termination. Step 6 (Four-fiber BLSR only) Repeat Steps 2 – 4 for each protect card. Step 7 Repeat Steps 2 – 5 at each node that will be in the BLSR. After configuring the SONET DCC, set the timing for the node. For procedures, see the “Setting Up ONS 15454 Timing” section on page 3-12.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings • East Port—Assign the east BLSR port for the node from the pull-down menu. (In Figure 5-11, this is Slot 12.) The east and west ports must match the fiber connections and DCC terminations set up in the “Install the BLSR Trunk Cards” procedure on page 5-11 and the “Create the BLSR DCC Terminations” procedure on page 5-13.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings Step 9 On the BLSR Ring Map dialog box, verify that the ring map contains all the nodes you provisioned in the expected order. If so, click Accept. If the nodes do not appear, or are not in the expected order, repeat Steps 1 – 8, making sure no errors are made.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings c. Click Status and choose In Service. d. Click Apply. e. Repeat Steps a – d for each new OC-N card at each BLSR node. Step 4 Connect the fiber to the new cards. Use the same east – west connection scheme that was used to create the two-fiber connections. Figure 5-12 shows an example. Step 5 Test the new fiber connections using procedures standard for your site.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings 5.2.7 Adding and Removing BLSR Nodes This section explains how to add and remove BLSR nodes. To add or remove a node, you force a protection switch to route traffic away from the span where you will add or remove the node. Figure 5-15 shows a three-node BLSR before the new node is added. To add Node 3, you would: Note • Force a protection switch on the Node 1 (Slot 5, West) and Node 4 (Slot 12, East) span.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings Step 2 Log into CTC and display the BLSR nodes in network view. Verify the following: • All BLSR spans on the network map are green. • On the Alarms tab, no critical or major alarms are present, nor any facility alarms, such as LOS, LOF, AIS-L, SF, and SD. In a BLSR, these facility conditions may be reported as minor alarms. • On the Conditions tab, no ring switches are active.

Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings Procedure: Remove a BLSR Node Caution Step 1 The following procedure minimizes traffic outages during node deletions, but traffic will be lost when you delete and recreate circuits that passed through the deleted node. Before you start this procedure, make sure you know the following: • Which node is connected through its east port to the node that will be deleted.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings Step 7 Use information recorded in Step 1 to switch traffic away from the ports of neighboring nodes that will be disconnected when the node is removed: Caution Traffic is unprotected during the protection switch. a. Open the neighboring node that is connected through its east port to the removed node. b. Click the Maintenance > Ring tabs. c. From the East Switch list, choose FORCE RING. Click Apply. d.
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings Figure 5-17 shows a four node OC-48 BLSR using trunk cards in Slots 6 and 12 at all four nodes. Trunk cards will be moved at Node 4 from Slots 6 and 12 to Slots 5 and 6. To do this Node 4 is temporarily removed from the active BLSR while the trunk cards are switched.

The “c” indicates concatenated STSs. • Bidirectional—Check this box to create a two-way circuit; uncheck it to create a one-way circuit (STS and VT circuits only; VT tunnels are bidirectional). • Number of circuits—Type the number of circuits you want to create. If you enter more than 1, you can use auto-ranging to create the additional circuits automatically.
Chapter 6 Circuits and Tunnels Creating Circuits and VT Tunnels Options include node, slot, port, STS, and VT/DS-1. The options that display depend on the circuit type and circuit properties you selected in Step 3 and the cards installed in the node. For example, if you are creating a VT circuit or tunnel, only nodes with XCVT and XC10G cards are displayed. For Ethergroups, see the “Ethernet Circuit Configurations” section on page 9-6.

The order in which you select included nodes and spans sets the circuit sequence. Click spans twice to change the circuit direction.
Chapter 6 Circuits and Tunnels Creating Circuits and VT Tunnels Procedure: Create a Manually Routed Circuit Note Step 1 Tip If you want to route circuits on protected drops, create the card protection groups before creating circuits. See the “Create Protection Groups” procedure on page 3-9. Log into an ONS 15454 and click the Circuits tab. You can also right-click a source node in network view, select Provision Circuit To, and choose the circuit destination node from the menu. Step 2 Click Create.
Chapter 6 Circuits and Tunnels Creating Circuits and VT Tunnels • 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 Revertive is not chosen, traffic remains on the protect path after the switch. • Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, set the reversion time. This is the amount of time that will elapse before the traffic reverts to the working path.
Chapter 6 Circuits and Tunnels Creating Multiple Drops for Unidirectional Circuits c. Click Add Span. The span is added to the Included Spans list and the span arrow turns blue. Step 14 Repeat Step 13 until the circuit is provisioned from the source to the destination node. When provisioning a protected circuit, you only need to select one path of BLSR or 1+1 spans from the source to the drop.
Chapter 6 Circuits and Tunnels Creating Monitor Circuits 6.4 Creating Monitor Circuits You can set up secondary circuits to monitor traffic on primary bidirectional circuits. Figure 6-5 shows an example of a monitor circuit. At Node 1, a VT1.5 is dropped from Port 1 of an EC1-12 card. To monitor the VT1.5 traffic, test equipment is plugged into Port 2 of the EC1-12 card and a monitor circuit to Port 2 is provisioned in CTC. Circuit monitors are one-way.

Chapter 9 Ethernet Operation VLAN Support 9.4.1 Q-Tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) IEEE 802.1Q allows the same physical port to host multiple 802.1Q VLANs. Each 802.1Q VLAN represents a different logical network. The ONS 15454 works with Ethernet devices that support IEEE 802.1Q and those that do not support IEEE 802.1Q. If a device attached to an ONS 15454 Ethernet port does not support IEEE 802.1Q, the ONS 15454 only uses Q-tags internally. The ONS 15454 associates these Q-tags with specific ports.

The ONS 15454 MAC table, also known as the MAC forwarding table, will allow you to see all the MAC addresses attached to the enabled ports of an Ethernet card or an Ethernet Group. This includes the MAC address of the network device attached directly to the port and any MAC addresses on the network linked to the port.
Chapter 9 Ethernet Operation Remote Monitoring Specification Alarm Thresholds One of the ONS 15454’s RMON MIBs is the Alarm group. The alarm group consists of the alarmTable. An NMS uses the alarmTable to find the alarm-causing thresholds for network performance. The thresholds apply to the current 15-minute interval and the current 24-hour interval. RMON monitors several variables, such as Ethernet collisions, and triggers an event when the variable crosses a threshold during that time interval.

C H A P T E R 11 SNMP This chapter explains Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as implemented by the Cisco ONS 15454. 11.1 SNMP Overview SNMP is an application-layer communication protocol that allows network devices to exchange management information. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan network growth. The ONS 15454 uses SNMP to provide asynchronous event notification to a network management system (NMS).
Chapter 11 SNMP SNMP Basic Components 52582 Figure 11-1 A basic network managed by SNMP 11.2 SNMP Basic Components An SNMP-managed network consists of three primary components: managed devices, agents, and management systems. A managed device is a network node that contains an SNMP agent and resides on an SNMP-managed network. Managed devices collect and store management information and use SNMP to make this information available to management systems that use SNMP.
Chapter 11 SNMP SNMP Support Figure 11-3 Example of the primary SNMP components Management Entity NMS Agent Agent Management Database Management Database Management Database 33930 Agent Managed Devices 11.3 SNMP Support The ONS 15454 supports SNMP v1 and v2c traps and get requests. The SNMP MIBs in the ONS 15454 define alarms, traps, and status. Through SNMP, NMS applications can query a management agent using a supported MIB.
Chapter 11 SNMP SNMP Support Figure 11-4 Setting up SNMP Step 4 Type the IP address of your NMS in the IP Address field. Step 5 Type the SNMP community name in the Community Name field. For a description of SNMP community names, see the “SNMP Community Names” section on page 11-8. Step 6 Note The community name is a form of authentication and access control. The community name assigned to the ONS 15454 is case-sensitive and must match the community name of the NMS.
Chapter 11 SNMP SNMP Management Information Bases Figure 11-5 Viewing trap destinations 11.4 SNMP Management Information Bases A management information base (MIB) is a hierarchically-organized collection of information. Network-management protocols, such as SNMP, gain access to MIBs. MIBs consist of managed objects and are identified by object identifiers. The ONS 15454 SNMP agent communicates with an SNMP management application using SNMP messages. Table 11-1 describes these messages.
Chapter 11 SNMP SNMP Traps Table 11-1 SNMP Message Types Operation Description get-bulk-request Similar to a get-next-request, but this operation fills the get-response with up to the max-repetition number of get-next interactions trap An unsolicited message sent by an SNMP agent to an SNMP manager indicating that an event has occurred A managed object (sometimes called a MIB object) is one of any specific characteristics of a managed device.
Chapter 11 SNMP SNMP Traps is service affecting or non-service affecting. The traps also contain a date/time stamp that shows the date and time the alarm occurred. The ONS 15454 also generates a trap for each alarm when the alarm condition clears. Each SNMP trap contains ten variable bindings listed in Table 11-4. Table 11-3 SNMP Trap Variable Bindings Number Name Description 1 cerentGenericAlarmTable This table holds all the currently-raised alarms.

However, with CTC you can provision the RMON alarm thresholds (see the “SNMP Remote Network Monitoring” section on page 11-8). CTC also monitors the five RMON groups implemented by the ONS 15454. ONS 15454 RMON implementation is based on the IETF-standard MIB Request for Comment (RFC)1757.

A P P E N D I X A Circuit Routing This appendix provides an in-depth explanation of ONS 15454 circuit routing and VT tunneling in mixed protection or meshed environments, such as the one shown in Figure A-1. For circuit creation and provisioning procedures, see Chapter 6, “Circuits and Tunnels.
Appendix A Circuit Routing Automatic Circuit Routing Circuit Routing Characteristics The following list provides principles and charactistics of automatic circuit routing: • Circuit routing tries to use the shortest path within the user-specified or network-specified constraints. VT tunnels are preferable for VT circuits because VT tunnels are considered shortcuts when CTC calculates a circuit path in path-protected mesh networks.
Appendix A Circuit Routing Manual Circuit Routing Secondary sources and drops Primary source Primary destination Vendor A network Vendor B network Secondary source Secondary destination ONS 15454 network 55402 Figure A-2 Several rules apply to secondary sources and drops: • CTC does not allow a secondary destination for unidirectional circuits because you can always specify additional destinations (drops) after you create the circuit • Primary and secondary sources should be on the same node
Appendix A Circuit Routing Manual Circuit Routing • If you enabled Fully Path Protected, choose a diverse protect (alternate) path for every unprotected segment (see Figure A-3).
Appendix A Circuit Routing Manual Circuit Routing Figure A-5 Ethernet shared packet ring routing Ethernet source Node 1 Node 2 Node 3 Node 4 55405 Ethernet destination • Multicard EtherSwitch circuits can have virtual UPSR segments if the source or destination is not in the UPSR domain. This restriction also applies after circuit creation; therefore if you create a circuit with UPSR segments, Ethernet node drops cannot exist anywhere on the UPSR segment (see Figure A-6).

A P P E N D I X D Glossary Numerics 1:1 protection A card protection scheme that pairs a working card with a protect card of the same type in an adjacent slot. If the working card fails, the traffic from the working card switches to the protect card. When the failure on the working card is resolved, traffic reverts back to the working card if this option is set. This protection scheme is specific to electrical cards.
Appendix D Glossary AID Access Identifier. An access code used in TL1 messaging that identifies and addresses specific objects within the ONS 15454. These objects include individual pieces of equipment, transport spans, access tributaries, and others. AMI Alternate Mark Inversion. Line-code format used on T1 circuits that transmits ones by alternate positive and negative pulses. Zeroes are represented by 01 during each bit cell and ones are represented by 11 or 00, alternately, during each bit cell.
Appendix D Glossary Bridge Device that connects and passes packets between two network segments that use the same communications protocol. In general, a bridge will filter, forward, or flood an incoming frame based on the MAC address of that frame. Broadcast Data packet that will be sent to all nodes on a network. Broadcasts are identified by a broadcast address. Compare with multicast and unicast. See also Broadcast address.
Appendix D Glossary CTC Cisco Transport Controller. A Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) that allows operations, administration, maintenenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) of the ONS 15454 using an Internet browser. CTM Cisco Transport Manager. A Java-based network management tool used to support large networks of Cisco 15000-class equipment. CV code violation D DCC Data Communications Channel.
Appendix D Glossary EIA Electrical Interface Assemblies. Provides connection points for the ONS 15454 and DS-1, DS-3, or EC-1 units. EMI Electromagnetic Interference. Interference by electromagnetic signals that can cause reduced data integrity and increased error rates on transmission channels. Envelope The part of messaging that varies in composition from one transmittal step to another.
Appendix D Glossary G GBIC Gigabit Interface Converter. A hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port to link the port with the fiber optic network. H Hard reset The physical removal and insertion of a card. A card pull. HDLC High-Level Data Link Control. Bit-oriented, synchronous, data-link layer protocol developed by ISO. HDLC specifies a data encapsulation method on synchronous serial links using frame characters and checksums.
Appendix D Glossary L LAN Local Area Network. High-speed, low error data network covering a relatively small geographic area. LANs connect workstations, peripherals, terminals, and other devices in a single building or other geographically limited area. Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring are widely used LAN technologies. LCD Liquid Crystal Display. An alphanumeric display using liquid crystal sealed between two pieces of glass. LCDs conserve electricity.
Appendix D Glossary Managed device A network node that contains an SNMP agent and resides on a managed network. Managed devices include routers, access servers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, and printers. Managed object In network management, a network device that can be managed by a network management protocol. Sometimes called an MIB object.
Appendix D Glossary Node Endpoint of a network connection or a junction common to two or more lines in a network. Nodes can be processors, controllers, or workstations. Nodes, which vary in routing and other functional capabilities, can be interconnected by links, and serve as control points in the network. Node is sometimes used generically to refer to any entity that can access a network. In this manual the term “node” usually refers to an ONS 15454.
Appendix D Glossary Ping Packet internet grouper. ICMP echo message and its reply. Often used in IP networks to test the reachability of a network device. PPJC positive pointer justification count PPMN Path Protected Mesh Network. PPMN extends the protection scheme of a unidirectional path switched ring (UPSR) beyond the basic ring configuration to the meshed architecture of several interconnecting rings.
Appendix D Glossary RMON Remote Network Monitoring. Allows network operators to monitor the health of the network with a Network Management System (NMS). RMON watches several variables, such as Ethernet collisions, and triggers an event when a variable crosses a threshold in the specified time interval. S SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. Network management protocol used almost exclusively in TCP/IP networks.
Appendix D Glossary Static route A route that is manually entered into a routing table. Static routes take precedence over routes chosen by all dynamic routing protocols. STP Spanning Tree Protocol. Bridge protocol that uses the spanning-tree algorithm to enable a learning bridge to dynamically work around loops in a network topology by creating a spanning tree. See also Spanning tree, STA, and Learning bridge. STS-1 Synchronous Transport Signal 1. Basic building block signal of SONET, operating at 51.
Appendix D Glossary Telcordia Telcordia Technologies, Inc., formerly named Bellcore. Eighty percent of the U.S. telecommunications network depends on software invented, developed, implemented, or maintained by Telcordia. TID Target Identifier. Identifies the particular network element (in this case, the ONS 15454) where each TL1 command is directed. The TID is a unique name given to each system at installation. TLS Transparent LAN Service. Provides private network service across a SONET backbone.
Appendix D Glossary V Virtual fiber A fiber that carries signals at different rates and uses the same fiber optic cable. Virtual ring Entity in a source-route bridging (SRB) network that logically connects two or more physical rings together either locally or remotely. The concept of virtual rings can be expanded across router boundaries. Virtual wires Virtual wires route external alarms to one or more alarm collection centers across the SONET transport network. VLAN Virtual LAN.
