Cisco ONS 15530 Topologies

The section describes network topologies consisting only of Cisco ONS 15530 shelves. The Cisco ONS 15530 can be configured in the following types of topologies:

Point-to-point

Meshed ring

Hubbed ring with a multiple shelf hub

Point-to-Point Topologies

The Cisco ONS 15530 supports point-to-point topologies, with or without signal protection. A single shelf supports up to four protected channels and up to eight unprotected channels. To supports more channels, multiple shelf nodes can be used.

Use following criteria to determine the equipment needed for a point-to-point topology:

Distance between nodes

Potential topology changes in the future (such as migration to a ring)

Presence of OSC

Unprotected Point-to-Point Topology

Figure 6-44 shows an example of an unprotected point-to-point topology between two Cisco ONS 15530 shelves.

The Cisco ONS 15530, Cisco ONS 15540 ESP, and Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx systems can be used in the same network topology. The most common application is using a Cisco ONS 15540 ESP or Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx as the hub node in a hubbed ring topology.

Figure 6-52 shows a logical view of an hubbed ring topology consisting of a Cisco ONS 15540 ESP as the hub node and Cisco ONS 15530 shelves as the spoke nodes. The configuration supports transparent services.

The Cisco ONS 15530 can be combine with a Cisco ONS 15540 ESP or Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx system in the same network node. The most common application is using a Cisco ONS 15540 ESP or Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx as the hub node in a hubbed ring topology where aggregated services are required.

Figure 6-53 shows a logical view of an hubbed ring topology consisting of collocated Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx and Cisco ONS 15530 shelves as the hub node and Cisco ONS 15530 shelves as the spoke nodes. This configuration can support transparent and aggregated services.
