Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide R8.5
78-18133-01
Preface
Document Objectives
This guide covers the software features and operations of the ML-100T-8 and the CE-100T-8 Ethernet
cards for the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and the Cisco ONS 15310-MA. It explains software features and
configuration for Cisco IOS on the ML-Series card. It also explains software feature and configuration
for Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) on the CE-100T-8 card. The CE-100T-8 card is also available as a
card for the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH. This version of the card is described in the
Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
Use this guide in conjunction with the appropriate publications listed in the Related Documentation
section.
Audience
To use the ML-Series card chapters of this publication, you should be familiar with Cisco IOS and
preferably have technical networking background and experience. To use the CE-100T-8 card chapter of
this publication, you should be familiar with CTC and preferably have technical networking background
and experience.
Related Documentation
Use the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and
Configuration Guide R8.5 in conjunction with the following general ONS 15310-CL and ONS
15310-MA system publications:
• To install, turn up, provision, and maintain a Cisco ONS 15310-CL or Cisco ONS 15310-MA node
and network, refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Procedure Guide.
• For alarm clearing, general troubleshooting procedures, transient conditions, and error messages for
a Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA card, node, or network, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Troubleshooting Guide.
January 2009 Added the following sections in Chapter 11, Configuring Quality of Service on
the ML-Series Card:
• QoS not Configured on Egress
• ML-Series Egress Bandwidth Example
• Added a new bullet point in the “IP SLA Restrcitions on the ML-Series”
section.
• Added Tables 9-1 and 9-2 and updated Table 4 in the “Load Balancing on
ML-Series Cards” section of Chapter 9, Configuring Link Aggregation on the
ML-Series Cards.
February 2009 Added a note in the “Ring Wrapping” section of Chapter 15, Configuring
Resilient Packet Ring on the ML-Series Card.
June 2009 Updated the sections “RMON” and “SNMP” in Chapter 1, Overview of the
ML-Series Cards.
