Feature Module

Cisco ONS 15104 Overview

The Cisco ONS 15104 is a bidirectional Optical Carrier-48/Synchronous Transport Module-16 (OC-48/STM-16) regenerator that transmits optical signals up to distances of 50 miles (80 kilometers). In an OC-48 SONET installation, the Cisco ONS 15104 significantly extends the separation between two routers, depending on the quality of the fiber-optic cabling. (See Figure 1.)


Figure 1: Two Cisco 12000 Series Routers Configured with One Cisco ONS 15104


The Cisco ONS 15104 provides an end-to-end Internet Protocol (IP) transport for long distances by forwarding Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) traffic at OC-48 line rates.

When you connect the ONS 15104's regeneration ports to an OC-48 line card in a router, you also connect to SDCC interfaces, SDCC0 or SDCC1, and Cisco ONS 15104 controller modules, Regen 0 and Regen 1. The SDCC interfaces and Cisco ONS 15104 controller modules regenerate traffic and manage traffic paths.

When you power up the Cisco ONS 15104 for the first time, it goes through a system bootstrap startup sequence that boots the Cisco IOS software that is installed from Flash memory. The
Cisco ONS 15104 runs a power-on self-test (POST) that verifies basic operation of the CPU, memory, and interfaces. When all of the configuration files are loaded, the console terminal displays the following System Configuration Dialog prompt:

--- System Configuration Dialog --- Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

(Portion of displayed text is omitted from example.)

You can use AutoInstall to automatically configure the Cisco ONS 15104. When the
Cisco ONS 15104 is connected to the Ethernet port,
AutoInstall starts after the power-on self test completes.

To ensure that AutoInstall works properly, your system administrator must preconfigure the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) host on your network and put the required configuration files in the Cisco ONS 15104's nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). The NVRAM contains configuration information for Cisco IOS, ROM Monitor, and system information. You can use Cisco IOS commands to configure the memory partitions. The new configuration does not take effect until it is saved to NVRAM, and the router is reloaded.


Note AutoInstall works only when you connect the Cisco ONS 15104 through the Ethernet port.

To enter Set-Up Configuration Mode and manually enter Cisco IOS commands, you must boot the Cisco ONS 15104 without any default configuration settings. You can invoke Set-Up Configuration Mode when the Cisco ONS 15104 is connected to the network through either the Ethernet port or the OC-48 regenerator ports.


Note The Cisco ONS 15104 configuration must be saved to NVRAM to survive system crash/reload, regardless of the commands that are set before or after normal operation. Most commands take effect right away before saving them to NVRAM using the copy run start command. However, memory partitioning can only be done during system initialization and system reload. That is why memory partitioning takes effect only after saving Cisco ONS 15104 configuration to NVRAM and system reload.

The Cisco ONS 15104 uses standard Cisco IOS software and standard configuration methods.

Benefits

The Cisco ONS 15104 is best used when two or more routers on a network are more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) apart in a remote area. You can connect a Cisco ONS 15104 between two
Cisco 12000 series routers to carry a signal up to 50 miles (80 km) with high quality single-mode long reach fiber.

Restrictions

The Cisco ONS 15104 has the following restrictions.

Use the Console Port

The Cisco ONS 15104 console port provides local access when it is connected to a terminal server or a modem. You can communicate with the Cisco ONS 15104 through a PC or VTY.

Use the console port on the Cisco ONS 15104 to do the tasks in the following sections:

Change the Baud Rate

To use the console port to download files, you need to increase the baud rate. The console port baud rate speed determines the length of time it takes to download files to the Cisco ONS 15104. You can temporarily increase the console port baud rate to 115200 bps to decrease downloading time. The default console port parameters are 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits. The console port supports the following baud rates:


Table 1:
