Logging into the ONS 15454

Figure 2-1 Logging into the ONS 15454

Step 3

Type a user name and password (both are case sensitive). For initial setup, type the user name

“CISCO15” and click Login (no password is required).

Note The CISCO15 user is provided with every ONS 15454. CISCO15 has superuser privileges,

so you can create other users. CISCO15 is delivered without a password. To create one, click

the Provisioning > Security tabs after you log in and change the CISCO15 password. (You

cannot delete the CISCO15 user.) For more information about ONS 15454 security, see the

“Creating Users and Setting Security” section on page 3-6.

Step 4 Set the following login options, as needed:

• Node Name—Displays the IP address entered in the web browser and a pull-down menu of

previously-entered ONS 15454 IP addresses. You can select any ONS 15454 (or ONS 15327) on the

list for the login, or you can enter the IP address (or node name) of any new node where you want

to log in.

• Additional Nodes—Displays a list of login node groups that were created. Login node groups allow

you to display ONS 15454s and/or ONS 15327s that are not connected by the SONET Data

Communications Channel (DCC) to the ONS 15454 in the Node Name field. (For instructions, see

the “Creating Login Node Groups” section on page 2-11.)

Note Topology hosts that were created in previous ONS 15454 releases by modifying the

cms.ini file are displayed as a “Topology Host” group under Additional Nodes.

• Exclude Dynamically Discovered Nodes—Check this box to view only the ONS 15454 (and login

node group members, if any) entered in the Node Name field. Nodes linked to the Node Name ONS

15454 through the DCC are not displayed.

Step 5 Click Login.

If login is successful, the CTC window displays. From here, you can navigate to other CTC views to

provision and manage the ONS 15454.
