New Hardware Features
This section is a high-level overview of the hardware features of ONS 15216—Network Release 2.0.
Added Signal Attenuation
The ONS 216 OADM allows the user to provision the device to attenuate the optical power of the added channel to a user-defined value. This allows the user to balance the optical power of the added channel to that of the through (express) channels. The end result is drastically reduced gain competition in multi-node amplified networks.
New Software Features
This section is a high-level overview of the software features of ONS 15216—Network Release 2.0.
TL1 Agent
ONS 15216 features a TL1-compliant Network Element (NE) software supervision agent. TL1 Agent - Release 2.0 supports release 2.0 of ONS 15216.
The TL1 Agent offers the following features:
•
Full FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Optical Performance and Security management) capabilities
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Remote Software Downloading and Activation (Non-Service affecting)
All the TL1 software of the ONS 15216 System can be remotely downloaded and activated without affecting the client traffic.
Quality of Signal Monitoring
ONS 15216 provides quality of signal monitoring through the TL1 Agent interface. Threshold crossing alerts are available on all the monitored parameters and counters through the TL1 Agent interface.
Alarm Correlation (NE Level)
ONS 15216 provides, through the TL1 interface, alarm correlation at the NE level. This prevents a flurry of alarms from being presented to the NOC in case of catastrophic events such as fiber cuts, and allows rapid fault isolation and location.
Hardware Caveats
This section describes the hardware caveats known to exist at the time of publication.
There are no known hardware caveats at the time of publication.
Software Caveats
This chapter describes the software caveats known to exist at the time of publication.
CSCdw60751: TL-1 command to view all current active users
A TL1 command to view all current active users does not exist.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx52920: Craft port TL1 commands require terminating carriage return
The RS-232 craft port requires that a terminating carriage return be entered for the TL1 command to be accepted. This is incorrect, the semicolon should be sufficient to terminate the TL1 command. Note however that the LAN port TL1 session does not require the carriage return, so this should not be an issue for OSMINE testing (which uses only the LAN port).
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx52954: CANC-USER command should have <uid> field mandatory
As per TR-835, the command CANC-USER, for terminating a session, requires the field <uid>, user identifier, as mandatory, not optional (as currently implemented).
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx52979: ATAGSEQ parameter of RTRV-AO command returns unexpected error message
The command RTRV-AO (Retrieve Autonomous Output) foresees the parameter ATAGSEQ for specifying the range of autonomous message that the user wants to retrieve. If the upper bound of this range is greater than any autonomous message actually present, the OADM returns an error (IDRG- Input, Data Range Error). It should indeed return the present autonomous messages which however fall in the specified range.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
The user is able to retrieve the number of the last current autonomous message (by not specifying the ATAGSEQ parameter), and can then use this number as upper bound for the ATAGSEQ range.
CSCdx57018: <aid> field mandatory for RTRV-TH-DWDM, INIT-SYS, RTRV-ALM-ENV command
The commands RTRV-ALM-ENV, RTRV-TH-DWDM and INIT-SYS should have the access identifier field, <aid>, mandatory, as per GR-199 AND GR-833.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx57022: ED-DWDM rejects command when plus sign used for dBm setting
The ED-DWDM command is rejected if a plus sign is used to specify a positive setting for the power level in dBm. For example: agent> ED-DWDM::SOADM-WEST-2:CTAG::SETPOINT: 2.116; soadm 2002-05-10 14:33:17 M CTAG DENY IIFM /* Invalid Payload block. Invalid Data Format. */; The command is accepted if the plus sign is not used, however the response message has a space in it instead of the plus sign: agent> RTRV-DWDM::SOADM-WEST-1:CTAG; soadm 2002-05-09 09:00:03 M CTAG COMPLD "SOADM-WEST-1:CONFIGMODE=SETPOINT,DFTPWRADD= 3.0dBm,PWRADD=-5.8dBm,PWRDROP=-38.8dBm"
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx57044: TL1 - RTRV-HDR command returns COMPLD prior to active TL1 logging session
The following procedure was performed: A) Telnet into 3083 port of the OADM B) Send RTRV-HDR command to the device and the command got completed In step (B) the RTRV-HDR command should have been denied. This command (i.e RTRV-HDR) should get completed after the TL1 session is established and must be denied prior establishing of TL1 session. Example: agent> CANC-USER:::3; soadm 2002-04-05 17:07:24 M 3 COMPLD; agent RTRV-HDR:::4; soadm 2002-04-05 17:08:05 M 4 COMPLD; agent> ACT-USER::CISCO15:4; soadm 2002-04-05 17:08:49 M 4 COMPLD; agent> RTRV-HDR:::9; soadm 2002-04-05 17:09:31 M 9 COMPLD;
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx57061: Telnet port 3083 does not require a semicolon after TL1 commands
TL1 commands are sent on the 3083 telnet port when the user hits the enter key -- no semicolon is required. This behavior is inconsistent with port 3082, which requires that a semicolon be used to terminate and send a TL1 command.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx57062: Passwords should be masked when using ED-PID command
When using the command ED-PID for editing passwords, neither the old nor the new password should be displayed on the screen, as per TR-835,page 3-52. Note that the same issue stands for the ONS15454, which shows the passwords when using ED-PID command. Notice also that for related commands, such as ED-USER-SECU and ENT-USER-SECU, the standard does not specify the above mentioned requirements.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx57094: CTRL-X during Craft port TL1 session causes system reboot
If ctrl-x is sent on the RS-232 Craft port during a hyperterminal session (the Windows hot key for "cut"), the OADM reboots. The 15454 has the same bug, which will be fixed. The bug can be fixed in the Lumos tool kit level. The 15454 bug ID is CSCdx40587. Note that ctrl-c causes the WindRiver operating system prompt to be shown, although it is not actually active.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx60906: Spaces are not ignored within input messages
As per GR-831, spaces must be "completely ignored" within input messages. So for example RTRV-HDR:::CTAG; should be exactly the same as RTRV -HDR:::CTAG; which actually is not the way the command is implemented (it returns IICM).
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx69380: When notification code is CL, alarm code should be A^
As per GR-833, when a notification code <ntfncode> is CL, cleared, the relevant alarm code <almcode> should be A^. This impacts REPT-ALM-DWDM command. Following are some examples: agent> SOADM 2002-05-24 15:26:24 *C 2632 REPT ALM DWDM "SOADM-EAST-4:CL,LOSDROP,SA,2002-05-24,15-26-24,NEND,ZA,-18.4dBm, 3.5dBm,:\"DROP CHANNEL SIGNAL LOSS\""; SOADM 2002-05-24 15:26:24 * 2634 REPT ALM DWDM "SOADM-EAST-4:CL,WEAKADD,NSA,2002-05-24,15-26-24,LINE,ZA,-38.7dBm, 1.0dB,:\"ADD CHANNEL POWER IS OUT OF TOLERANCE\"";
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx69847: General block should not be allowed in ACT-USER command
The General Block should be null for ACT-USER command; instead the OADM allows the user to enter a nonsense General Block without returning any error message and completing the login, as shown in the following example: agent> act-USER::CISCO15:LLL:JHSHJHAJSHJSGGSJSSHS872828; SOADM 2002-05-18 20:08:12 M LLL COMPLD; A reasonable answer could be an Input error message, such as INUP (Non-null un-implemented parameter).
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx69888: No password check is performed for CISCO15 default user
The default user CISCO15 has its own password (null), but the OADM does not perform any check on this field, granting access for any value of the <pid> field, as shown in the enclosure here below, where random passwords have been entered: ACT-USER::CISCO15:LOGIN::********; SOADM 2002-05-18 20:52:26 M LOGIN COMPLD; agent> CANC-USER::CISCO15:logout; SOADM 2002-05-18 20:53:07 M logout COMPLD; agent> ACT-USER::CISCO15:CTAG::**************; SOADM 2002-05-18 20:54:14 M CTAG COMPLD; Workaround: change the password for CISCO15, after the first login. agent> CANC-USER::CISCO15:logout; SOADM 2002-05-18 20:54:18 M logout COMPLD; agent> ACT-USER::CISCO15:CTAG::******************************; SOADM 2002-05-18 20:54:36 M CTAG COMPLD; agent>
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx70848: CANC-USER command should have <aid> mandatory
<aid> should be mandatory for CANC-USER command execution, while actually it is not, as displayed in the enclosure here below: agent> ACT-USER::CISCO15:login; SOADM 2002-05-07 12:44:34 M login COMPLD; agent> CANC-USER:::DDD; SOADM 2002-05-07 12:44:41 M DDD COMPLD;
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx70853: RTRV-USER-SECU allowed only to RWA users
As per TR-835, RTRV-USER-SECU command should allow a user with Admin privileges to retrieve information about all the users, and should allow each user to retrieve his own security information; the latter is currently not implemented in the OADM.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx71473: Incorrect handling of date format in ED-DAT command
Two issues for ED-DAT command: 1)ED-DAT command is supposed (GR-199) to use a year format YY, while actually it uses YYYY. 2)If the user enter the year information in the format YY, the OADM accepts the command and completes the operation, BUT sets the date to an unpredictable value, as displayed in the following enclosure: agent> ACT-USER::CISCO15:login; SOADM 2002-05-30 08:35:27 M login COMPLD; agent> ED-DAT:::XXX::02-01-05,09-00-00; SOADM 2106-02-06 06:28:15 M XXX COMPLD /* ED-DAT */; agent> ED-DAT:::CTAG::02-10-30,09-00-00; SOADM 2106-02-06 06:28:15 M CTAG COMPLD /* ED-DAT */; agent> RTRV-HDR::header; SOADM 1970-01-01 00:00:04 M header COMPLD; agent>
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx71504: OADM accepts correlation tags with value zero
As per GR-831 the correlation tag (CTAG) block is not allowed to be a zero decimal number, instead actually the OADM accepts CTAG equal to zero, as shown in the enclosure here below reported; agent> ED-DAT:::0::2002-06-10,17-00-00; SOADM 2002-06-10 17:00:00 M 0 COMPLD /* ED-DAT */;
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx71517: General block should be null for ED-DAT command
General block (GB) is not allowed for ED-DAT command and should be null, as per GR-199. Instead actually the OADM completes the command regardless of the GB, as here below reported: agent> ED-DAT:::CTAG:UNSUPPORTED:2002-05-29,18-00-00; SOADM 2002-05-29 18:00:00 M CTAG COMPLD /* ED-DAT */;
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx73174: General Block should not be supported for the following commands
As foreseen by the implementation, the GB (General Block) field should not be supported for the following commands, instead it is allowed:
•
•
•
•
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx73860: REPT-ALM message format does not comply with GR-833
The OSMINE pre-test identified that the REPT ALM message does not conform with GR-833:
1.
2.
3.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx74272: RTRV-ALM-ALL and RTRV-COND-ALL commands are missing
The pre-OSMINE testing discovered that the RTRV-ALM-ALL and RTRV-COND-ALL commands are missing.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx74292: TL1 command help works before logging in
The TL1 command help should not work before the user is logged in. This is a security issue. The user should not be able to press the tab key to see the command syntax before logging in.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in future software release.
CSCdx80821: OADM lockup during data transfer
If the user performs incorrectly the Sw upgrade procedure, e.g. does not set to Bin (binary) the format to be used for data transfer, the OADM locks and does not allow any further connection to be established.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
From craft port, press Enter, then you find a "->",
Type: route Add ("0.0.0.0","<gateway>") and press Enter.
