About This Guide Cisco ONS 15454 SONET/SDH Unified Control Plane Configuration Guide xii OL-4214-01
C H A P T E R 1 Overview This chapter provides an overview of the unified control plane (UCP) and the user-network interface (UNI) implementations, supported by the ONS 15454 SONET and SDH systems. Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) releases 3.4 and later support UCP. This chapter contains the following sections: • 1.1 Understanding UCP, page 1-1 • 1.2 UNI Implementation, page 1-1 1.1 Understanding UCP UCP is a software feature released for Cisco ONS 15454 SONET and SDH Releases 3.4 and later.
Chapter 1 Overview 1.2UNI Implementation Client and Network Roles UNI is divided into client (UNI-C) and network (UNI-N) roles. A UNI-C network element requests and accepts circuit provisioning information. A UNI-N network element is the node adjacent to the UNI-C node and accepts and transports circuit provisioning information across the core network. For UNI circuit provisioning, the network must meet the following requirements: • An NE must be configured in as UNI-C and connected to a UNI-N NE.
Chapter 1 Overview 1.2UNI Implementation Control channels can be in-fiber/in-band (IF/IB), which means that the control channel uses the same physical link as the data link that controls it or out-of-fiber/out-of-band (OF/OB), which means that the control channel uses a different physical path than the data links it controls. IF/IB, also called SDCC IPCC, is transported over the embedded SONET/SDH SDCC bytes between the client and the network interface.
Chapter 1 Overview 1.
C H A P T E R 2 User Control Plane Configuration This chapter explains the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) operation for configuring circuits across a core network. The chapter procedures follow: 1. 2.1 Configure an ONS 15454 as User Network Interface–Client (UNI-C) Node, page 2-1—Complete this procedure first. This procedure sets up two ONS 15454 SONET or SDH nodes as UNI-C nodes. 2. 2.
Chapter 2 User Control Plane Configuration 2.1Configure an ONS 15454 as User Network Interface–Client (UNI-C) Node Figure 2-1 Step 3 UCP Tab On the Node tab, verify the node-level UCP parameters, and edit as necessary: • UCP Node ID—Node IP address • Initial Interval—Initial retry interval for circuits released by the network (60 to 1800 seconds) • Max.
Chapter 2 User Control Plane Configuration 2.1Configure an ONS 15454 as User Network Interface–Client (UNI-C) Node • Refresh Reduction—Check the check box to reduce the processing overhead requirements of refresh messages. • Max # of retransmits—Choose the maximum number of times (2 to 5) that unacknowledged messages will be transmitted. Step 6 Click Next. The IPCC dialog box appears.
Chapter 2 User Control Plane Configuration 2.2Create an Inter-Domain Circuit – NSAP—Network service access point Step 11 Click Finish. A message appears asking you to verify that the local ID on this node matches the remote ID at the neighboring node. Click OK. Note CTC will not automatically discover the neighbor and IPCC until you set up a second UNI interface. Step 12 Repeat Steps 2 through 11 to create the connecting UNI-C interface on the other side of the core network.
Chapter 2 User Control Plane Configuration 2.4Change a Neighbor Configuration • Data Link—Choose the interface from the drop-down list. • Circuit Size—Choose the circuit size from the drop-down list. • STS—Choose the STS number from the drop-down list. • Termination TNA Address—Choose the transport network address (TNA) format (IPv4, IPv6, or NSAP), and type the IP address of the endpoint node.
Chapter 2 User Control Plane Configuration 2.5Change an IPCC Configuration 2.5 Change an IPCC Configuration The UCP > IPCC tab lists the existing IPCCs. Use the following procedure to change an IPCC configuration. Step 1 At node view, click the Provisioning > UCP > IPCC tabs. Step 2 On the IPCC subtab, edit the following fields as necessary: Step 3 • Local IPCC • LMP Hello Integer • LMP Hello Dead Integer • MTU • CRC Mode Click Apply. 2.
Chapter 2 User Control Plane Configuration 2.7Delete a Neighbor, IPCC, Interface, or UCP-Signaled Circuit • If an interface is used in a UCP-signaled circuit, you must delete the circuit before CTC allows you to delete the interface. Step 1 At node view, click the Provisioning > UCP tabs. Step 2 Click the desired subtab (Neighbor, IPCC, Interface, or Circuit). Step 3 Choose the neighbor, IPCC, interface, or circuit that you want to delete. Step 4 Click the Delete button.

C H A P T E R 3 Alarm Troubleshooting This chapter describes the alarms and conditions associated with the unified control plane (UCP). For procedures that clear UCP alarms, refer to Release 3.4 or later of the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide. 3.1 UCP Alarms Table 3-1 lists the UCP alarms.
Chapter 3 Alarm Troubleshooting 3.2UCP Conditions 3.2 UCP Conditions Table 3-2 lists the UCP alarm conditions. Table 3-2 Alarm Conditions Condition Raised When... Cleared When... UCP_CKT_DOWN A provisioned circuit is temporarily or permanently down The circuit becomes available. UCP_NBR_DOWN The Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) The RSVP hello procedure declares that the hello procedure indicates that a neighbor is down neighbor is available.
