Introduction

This document describes why the circuit creation fails between the Cisco ONS CE−Series Ethernet card on

Cisco ONS 15310−CL and the Cisco ML−Series card on Cisco ONS 15454.

Prerequisites

Requirements

Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:

Cisco ONS 15454•

Cisco ONS 15310•

Cisco ONS 15454 ML−Series Ethernet Cards•

Cisco ONS CE−Series Ethernet Card•

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

Cisco ONS 15454 that runs Cisco ONS version 6.0•

Cisco ONS 15310 version 6.0•

ML (bundled as part of the ONS 6.0 release) that runs Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.2(27)SV and

later

•

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the

devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure

that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Background The Cisco ONS CE−Series Ethernet card and ML−series cards support Packet Over Sonet (POS)/Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) Encapsulation on two Virtual Concatenation Group (VCG)/POS ports using GFP−F (ITU−T G.7041) or LEX (HDLC) Encapsulation. Problem When creating a circuit between CE−Series Ethernet card and ML−series cards, the error message (see arrow A in Figure 1) appears on Cisco Transport Controller (CTC).

Figure 3: Port Configuration on the ML−series Card If both ports are configured with the same encapsulation using HDLC or LEX, the circuit successfully comes up (see Figure 4).
