Cisco ONS 15454 SONET/SDH Unified Control Plane Configuration Guide

OL-4214-01

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. 2.2 Create an Inter-Domain Circuit, page 2-4—Complete this procedure to create an inter-domain

(IDC) circuit over the core network.

3. 2.3 Create a UCP-Signaled Circuit, page 2-4—Complete this procedure to create a UCP-signaled

circuit, which originates at a UNI-C interface in one network and terminates at another UNI-C

interface in another network. This procedure is not necessary if you used CTC to create an IDC

circuit.

4. 2.4 Change a Neighbor Configuration, page 2-5—Complete this procedure as needed to edit a

neighbor.

5. 2.5 Change an IPCC Configuration, page 2-6—Complete this procedure as needed to edit an IPCC.

6. 2.6 Change a UCP Interface Configuration, page 2-6—Complete this procedure as needed to edit an

interface.

7. 2.7 Delete a Neighbor, IPCC, Interface, or UCP-Signaled Circuit, page 2-6—Complete this

procedure as needed to remove a neighbor, IPCC, interface, or user control plane (UCP)-signaled

circuit.

2.1 Configure an ONS 15454 as User Network Interface–Client

(UNI-C) Node

Use this procedure to configure an ONS 15454 SONET or SDH node as UNI-C and connect it to a core

network.

Step 1 Log onto a node that you want to configure as UNI-C.

Step 2 At the node view, click the Provisioning > UCP tabs (Figure 2-1).
