ONS 15200 Configurations

ONS 15200 Configurations

This chapter describes how to view and change ONS 15200 configuration information using the Cisco ONS 15200 web interface. This chapter describes the configuration information for operator users and guest users. Guest users can only view the network configuration and alarm events. Guest users have no access to change the network configuration.


Note   Screens for Client Layer Interface Port (CLIP) modules vary according to the configuration of the CLIP modules. CLIP modules can be configured for protected or unprotected operation. The screens in this chapter show protected CLIP modules, and differences are noted.

3.1 CLIP Module Parameters

The ONS 15200 web interface allows you to view and adjust the configuration of each CLIP module installed in the ONS 15200 network. The following sections describe the parameters available for each module.

3.1.1 CLIP Module Summary Screen

The CLIP Module Summary screen (Figure 3-1) displays the configuration of the CLIP module. The screen is divided into three sections:


Figure 3-1: CLIP Summary screen in the ONS 15200 web interface software program



Note   The Action column on the right is available for operator users only. This column does not appear for guest users.

Procedure: Change the Data Rate

This procedure provides an example of how to change the data rate. The procedure is similar for all network configuration changes.

With this procedure you can make three adjustments to the network element:


Step 1   Display the CLIP Summary screen (Figure 3-1).

Step 2   In the Data Rate row, click Modify. The CLIP Settings screen appears.

Step 3   Click the New Value pull-down menu and select the data rate you want to use (Figure 3-2).

Step 4   Click Submit.

Step 5   Check the current data rate; if required, repeat the procedure with the correct data rate.

Note   The CLIP Settings screen is not available for guest users.

Table 3-1 lists and defines the general parameters that are shown in Figure 3-1.
