PAGE 142
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.
PAGE 143
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.

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.
PAGE 180
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.
PAGE 181
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.

Because they allow span switching as well as ring switching, four-fiber BLSRs increase the reliability and flexibility of traffic protection.

PAGE 185
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings 5.2.3 K3 Byte Remapping The ONS 15454 uses the K3 overhead byte for BLSR automatic protection switching (APS) to allow an ONS 15454 BLSR to have more than 16 nodes. If a BLSR is routed through third-party equipment that cannot transparently transport the K3 byte, you can remap it to either the Z2, E2, or F1 bytes on OC48AS cards. (K3 byte remapping is not available on other OC-N cards.
PAGE 186
Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings capacity is the OC-N rate divided by two, multiplied by the number of nodes in the ring minus the number of pass-through STS-1 circuits. Table 5-3 shows the bidirectional bandwidth capacities of four-fiber BLSRs. Table 5-2 Two-Fiber BLSR Capacity OC Rate Working Bandwidth Protection Bandwidth Ring Capacity OC-12 STS1-6 STS 7-12 6 x N1 - PT2 OC-48 STS 1-24 STS 25-48 24 x N - PT OC-192 STS 1-96 STS 97-192 96 x N - PT 1.

Chapter 5 SONET Topologies Bidirectional Line Switched Rings 5.2.5 Sample BLSR Application Figure 5-9 shows a sample two-fiber BLSR implementation. A regional long-distance network connects to other carriers at Node 0. Traffic is delivered to the service provider’s major hubs. • Carrier 1 delivers six DS-3s over two OC-3 spans to Node 0.

Chapter 8 Performance Monitoring Enabling Pointer Justification Count Parameters 8.4 Enabling Pointer Justification Count Parameters Pointers are used to compensate for frequency and phase variations. Pointer justification counts indicate timing errors on SONET networks. When a network is out of synch, jitter and wander occurs on the transported signal. Excessive wander can cause terminating equipment to slip. It also causes slips at the SDH and PDH boundaries. Slips cause different effects in service.
PAGE 303
Chapter 8 Performance Monitoring Enabling Pointer Justification Count Parameters A consistent pointer justification count indicates clock synchronization problems between nodes. A difference between the counts means the node transmitting the original pointer justification has timing variations with the node detecting and transmitting this count. Positive pointer adjustments occur when the frame rate of the SPE is too slow in relation to the rate of the STS 1.

Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 TL1 Command Guide for G1000-4 TL1 provisioning commands.
PAGE 343
Chapter 9 Ethernet Operation G1000-4 Card The G1000-4 card can carry over a SONET network any layer three protocol that can be encapsulated and transported over Gigabit Ethernet, such as IP or IPX. The data is transmitted on the Gigabit Ethernet fiber into the standard Cisco Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) on a G1000-4 card. The G1000-4 card transparently maps Ethernet frames into the SONET payload by multiplexing the payload onto a SONET OC-N card.

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).
PAGE 412
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.

For a description of SNMP community names, see the “SNMP Community Names” section on page 11-9. 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 alarm 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 eleven variable bindings listed in Table 11-4.

PAGE 422
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.

Glossary Host number Part of IP address used to address an individual host within the network or subnetwork. Hot swap The process of replacing a failed component while the rest of the system continues to function normally. I Input alarms Used for external sensors such as open doors, temperature sensors, flood sensors, and other environmental conditions. IP Internet Protocol. Network layer protocol in the TCP/IP stack offering a connectionless internetwork service.
PAGE 467
Glossary Link budget The difference between the output power and receiver power of an optical signal expressed in dB. Link refers to an optical connection and all of its component parts (optical transmitters, repeaters, receivers, and cables). Link integrity The network communications channel is intact. Loopback test Test that sends signals then directs them back toward their source from some point along the communications path. Loopback tests are often used to test network interface usability.
PAGE 468
Glossary Multiplex payload Generates section and line overhead, and converts electrical/optical signals when the electrical/optical card is transmitting. Multiplexing Scheme that allows multiple logical signals to be transmitted simultaneously across a single physical channel. Compare with Demultiplex. N NE Network Element. In an Operations Support System, a single piece of telecommunications equipment used to perform a function or service integral to the underlying network.
PAGE 469
Glossary Output contacts (alarms) Triggers that drive visual or audible devices such as bells and lights. Output contacts can control other devices such as generators, heaters, and fans. P Passive devices Components that do not require external power to manipulate or react to electronic output. Passive devices include capacitors, resisters, and coils. Path Layer The segment between the originating equipment and the terminating equipment.
PAGE 470
Glossary R Red band DWDM wavelengths are broken into two distinct bands: red and blue. The red band is the higher frequency band. The red band DWDM cards for the ONS 15454 operate on wavelengths between 1547.72nm and 1560.61nm. Retrieve user A security level that allows the user to retrieve and view CTC information but not set or modify parameters. See also Superuser, Maintenance user, and Provisioning user.

Glossary SPE Synchronous Payload Envelope. A SONET term describing the envelope that carries the user data or payload. SSM Sync Status Messaging. A SONET protocol that communicates information about the quality of the timing source using the S1 byte of the line overhead. STA Spanning-Tree Algorithm. An algorithm used by the spanning tree protocol to create a spanning tree. See also Spanning tree and STP. Static route A route that is manually entered into a routing table.
PAGE 472
Glossary Tag Identification information, including a number plus other information. TDM Time Division Multiplexing. Allocates bandwidth on a single wire for information from multiple channels based on preassigned time slots. Bandwidth is allocated to each channel regardless of whether the station has data to transmit. Telcordia Telcordia Technologies, Inc., formerly named Bellcore. Eighty percent of the U.S.
PAGE 473
Glossary UPSR Unidirectional Path Switched Ring. Path-switched SONET rings that employ redundant, fiber- optic transmission facilities in a pair configuration. One fiber transmits in one direction and the backup fiber transmits in the other. If the primary ring fails, the backup takes over. Upstream Set of frequencies used to send data from a subscriber to the headend. V Virtual fiber A fiber that carries signals at different rates and uses the same fiber optic cable.
