•Status—The circuit status. Table 21-2 lists the circuit statuses that can appear.
Table 21-2 Cisco ONS 15454 Circuit Status
Status
|
Definition/Activity
|
CREATING
|
CTC is creating a circuit.
|
DISCOVERED
|
CTC created a circuit. All components are in place and a complete path exists from the circuit source to the circuit destination.
|
DELETING
|
CTC is deleting a circuit.
|
PARTIAL
|
A CTC-created circuit is missing a cross-connect or network span, a complete path from source to destination(s) does not exist, or an alarm interface panel (AIP) change occurred on one of the circuit nodes and the circuit is in need of repair. (AIPs store the node MAC address.)
In CTC, circuits are represented using cross-connects and network spans. If a network span is missing from a circuit, the circuit status is PARTIAL. However, an PARTIAL status does not necessarily mean a circuit traffic failure has occurred, because traffic might flow on a protect path.
Network spans are in one of two states: up or down. On CTC circuit and network maps, up spans are shown as green lines, and down spans are shown as gray lines. If a failure occurs on a network span during a CTC session, the span remains on the network map but its color changes to gray to indicate the span is down. If you restart your CTC session while the failure is active, the new CTC session cannot discover the span and its span line will not appear on the network map.
Subsequently, circuits routed on a network span that goes down will appear as DISCOVERED during the current CTC session, but they will appear as PARTIAL to users who log in after the span failure.
|
DISCOVERED_TL1
|
A TL1-created circuit or a TL1-like CTC-created circuit is complete. A complete path from source to destination(s) exists.
|
PARTIAL_TL1
|
A TL1-created circuit or a TL1-like CTC-created circuit is missing a cross-connect, and a complete path from source to destination(s) does not exist.
|
CONVERSION_PENDING
|
An existing circuit in a topology upgrade is set to this state. The circuit returns to the DISCOVERED state once the topology upgrade is complete. For more information about topology upgrades, refer to the "SONET Topologies and Upgrades" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.
|
PENDING_MERGE
|
Any new circuits created to represent an alternate path in a topology upgrade are set to this status to indicate that it is a temporary circuit. These circuits can be deleted if a topology upgrade fails.For more information about topology upgrades, refer to the "SONET Topologies and Upgrades" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.
|
DROP_PENDING
|
A circuit is set to this status when a new circuit drop is being added.
|
ROLL_PENDING
|
A circuit roll is awaiting completion or cancellation.
|
•Source—The circuit source in the format: node/slot(card type)/port "port name"/STS/VT. (The port name will appear in quotes.) Node and slot will always appear; port "port name"/STS/VT might appear, depending on the source card, circuit type, and whether a name is assigned to the port. If the port is on a MRC-12 card, the port format is PPM-port_number. If the circuit size is a concatenated size (3c, 6c, 12c, etc.), synchronous transport signals (STSs) used in the circuit are indicated by an ellipsis, for example, "S7..9," (STSs 7, 8, and 9) or S10..12 (STS 10, 11, and 12).
•Destination—The circuit destination in same format (node/slot[card type]/port "port name"/STS/VT) as the circuit source.
•# of VLANS—The number of VLANs used by an Ethernet circuit.
•# of Spans—The number of internode links that constitute the circuit. Right-clicking the column shows a shortcut menu from which you can choose Span Details to show or hide circuit span detail. For each node in the span, the span detail shows the node/slot (card type)/port/STS/VT.
•State—The circuit service state, IS, OOS, or OOS-PARTIAL. The circuit service state is an aggregate of the service states of its cross-connects:
–IS—All cross-connects are in the In-Service and Normal (IS-NR) service state.
–OOS—All cross-connects are in the Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled (OOS-MA,DSBLD) and/or Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT) service state.
–OOS-PARTIAL—At least one cross-connect is IS-NR and others are OOS-MA,DSBLD and/or OOS-MA,MT.

Step 1 If the Java Plug-in Security Warning dialog box appears, choose one of the following options:
•Yes (Grant This Session)—Installs the public-key certificate to your PC only for the current session. After the session is ended, the certificate is deleted. This dialog box will appear the next time you log into the ONS 15454.
•No (Deny)—Denies permission to install certificate. If you choose this option, you cannot log into the ONS 15454.
•Always (Grant Always)—Installs the public-key certificate and does not delete it after the session is over. Cisco recommends this option.
•More Details (View Certificate)—Allows you to view the public-key security certificate.
Step 2 If the Login dialog box appears, continue with Step 3. If the Change Java Policy File dialog box appears, complete this step. The Change Java Policy File dialog box appears if CTC finds a modified Java policy file (.java.policy) on your PC. In Software Release 4.0 and earlier, the Java policy file was modified to allow CTC software files to be downloaded to your PC. The modified Java policy file is not needed in Software R4.1 and later, so you can remove it unless you will log into ONS 15454s running software earlier than R4.1. Choose one of the following options:
•Yes—Removes the modified Java policy file from your PC. Choose this option only if you will log into ONS 15454s running Software R4.1 software or later.
•No—Does not remove the modified Java policy file from your PC. Choose this option if you will log into ONS 15454s running Software R4.0 or earlier. If you choose No, this dialog box will appear every time you log into the ONS 15454. If you do not want it to appear, check the Do not show the message again check box.
Caution If you delete the Java policy file, you cannot log into nodes running Software R4.0 and earlier. If you delete the file and want to log into an ONS 15454 running an earlier release, insert the software CD for the release into your PC CD-ROM and run the CTC setup wizard to reinstall the Java policy file.

This value sets the flow control threshold for sending the signal to the attached Ethernet device to resume transmission.
d. In the Flow Ctrl Hi column, click the cell in the row for the appropriate port.
e. Enter a value in the cell. The Flow Ctrl Hi value has a valid range from 2 to 511 and must be higher than the Flow Ctrl Lo value.
This value sets the flow control threshold for sending the signal to the attached Ethernet device to pause transmission.
f. Click Apply.
Note Low watermarks are optimum for low latency subrate applications, such as voice-over-IP (VoIP) using an STS-1. High watermarks are optimum when the attached Ethernet device has insufficient buffering, best effort traffic, or long access line lengths.

Note The Cisco OC-3 IR/STM-1 SH, OC-12 IR/STM-4 SH, and OC-48 IR/STM-16 SH interface optics, all working at 1310 nm, are optimized for the most widely used SMF-28 fiber-optic cable, available from many suppliers.
Note Corning MetroCor fiber-optic cable is optimized for optical interfaces that transmit at 1550 nm or in the C and L DWDM windows. This fiber-optic cable targets interfaces with higher dispersion tolerances than those found in OC-3 IR/STM-1 SH, OC-12 IR/STM-4 SH, and OC-48 IR/STM-16 SH interface optics. If you are using Corning MetroCor fiber-optic cable, OC-3 IR/STM-1 SH, OC-12 IR/STM-4 SH, and OC-48 IR/STM-16 SH interface optics will become dispersion limited before they will become attenuation limited. In this case, consider using OC-3 LR/STM-1 LH, OC-12 LR/STM-4 LH, and OC-48 LR/STM-16 LH cards instead of OC-3 IR/STM-1 SH, OC-12 IR/STM-4 SH, and OC-48 IR/STM-16 SH cards.
Note With all fiber types, network planners/engineers should review the relative fiber type and optics specifications to determine attenuation, dispersion, and other characteristics to ensure appropriate deployment.
Step 1 Plan your fiber connections. Use the same plan for all 1+1 nodes.
Step 2 Align the keyed ridge of the cable connector with the transmit (Tx) connector of a working OC-N card at one node and plug the other end of the fiber-optic cable into the receive (Rx) connector of a working OC-N card at the adjacent node. The card displays an SF LED if the transmit and receive fiber-optic cables are mismatched (one fiber-optic cable connects a receive port on one card to a receive port on another card, or the same situation with transmit ports). Figure 19-1 on page 19-6 shows the cable location.
Step 3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the corresponding protect ports on the two nodes and for all other working/protect port pairs that you want to place in a 1+1 configuration.
Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Caution The IP address assigned to the TCC2P TCP/IP (LAN) port must reside on a different subnet from the backplane LAN port and the ONS 15454 default router. Verify that the new TCC2P IP address meets this requirement and is compatible with the ONS 15454 network IP addresses.
Note The node will reboot after you complete this task, causing a temporary disconnection between the CTC computer and the node.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tabs.
Step 2 Click Change Mode.
Step 3 Review the information on the Change Secure Mode wizard page, then click Next.
Step 4 On the TCC Ethernet Port page, enter the IP address and subnet mask for the TCC2P LAN (TCP/IP) port. The IP address cannot reside on the same subnet as the backplane LAN port or the ONS 15454 default router.
Step 5 Click Next.
Step 6 On the Backplane Ethernet Port page, modify the backplane IP address, subnet mask, and default router, if needed. (Normally, you do not need to modify these fields if no ONS 15454 network changes have occurred.)
Step 7 Click Next.
Step 8 On the SOCKS Proxy Server Settings page, choose one of the following options:
•External Network Element (ENE)—If selected, the CTC computer is only visible to the ONS 15454 where the CTC computer is connected. The computer is not visible to the data communications channel (DCC)-connected nodes. By default, SOCKS proxy is not enabled for an ENE. If SOCKS proxy is disabled, the NE cannot communicate with other secure mode NEs behind the firewall.
•Gateway Network Element (GNE)—If selected, the CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes. The node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port. By default, configuring the secure node as a GNE also enables SOCKS proxy for communication with other secure NEs.
Step 9 Click Finish.
Within the next 30 to 40 seconds, the TCC2P cards reboot. CTC switches to network view, and the CTC Alerts dialog box appears. In network view, the node changes to gray and a DISCONNECTED condition appears.
Step 10 In the CTC Alerts dialog box, click Close. Wait for the reboot to finish. (This might take several minutes.)
Step 11 After the DISCONNECTED condition clears, complete the following steps to suppress the backplane IP address from display in CTC and the LCD. If you do not want to suppress the backplane IP address display, continue with Step 12.
a. Display the node in node view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tabs.
c. If you do not want the IP address to appear on the LCD, in the LCD IP Setting field, choose Suppress Display.
d. If you do not want the IP address to appear in CTC, check the Suppress CTC IP Address check box. This removes the IP address from display in the CTC information area and from the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tab.
e. Click Apply.
Note After you turn on secure mode, the TCC2P IP (LAN) port address becomes the node's IP address. The backplane LAN port has a different IP address.
Step 12 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A434 Lock Node Security
Purpose
|
This task locks the secure mode configuration on an ONS 15454. When secure mode is locked, two IP addresses must always be provisioned on the ONS 15454: one for the TCC2P TCP/IP (LAN) port and one for the backplane LAN port.

Caution Provisioning an IP address that is incompatible with the ONS 15454 network might be service affecting.
Caution This task cannot be performed on a secure mode NE that has been locked.
Step 1 Click the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tabs.
Step 2 Modify the following fields, as necessary:
•IP Address
•Subnet Mask
•Default Router
•LCD IP Setting—choose one of the following:
–Allow Configuration—Displays the backplane IP address on the LCD and allows the IP address to be changed using the LCD buttons.
–Display only—Displays the backplane IP address on the LCD but does not allow the IP address to be changed using the LCD buttons.
–Suppress Display—Suppresses the display of the IP address on the LCD.
•Suppress CTC IP Address—If checked, displays node IP information only to Superusers (that is, not to Provisioning, Maintenance, or Retrieve-level users) in the CTC Provisioning > General > Network tab; the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tab, and the CTC node view information area.
Step 3 Click Apply.
If you changed the IP address, subnet mask, or default router, the node will reboot. This will take 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A436 Disable Node Security Mode
Purpose
|
This task disables the ONS 15454 secure mode, meaning dual-IP addresses are no longer supported.With secure mode disabled, only one IP address can be provisioned for both the backplane LAN port and the TCC2P TCP/IP (LAN) port. If secure mode is disabled for a node, that node cannot identify other network nodes that are in secure mode.
|
Tools/Equipment
|
TCC2P cards must be installed.

Note The node will reboot after you complete this task, causing a temporary disconnection between the CTC computer and the node.
Note If you change an NE from secure mode to the default (repeater) mode, the backplane IP address becomes the node IP address.
Note This task cannot be performed if the NE's security mode configuration is locked. If secure mode is locked, you must contact Cisco Technical Support to change the node configuration.
Step 1 Click the Provisioning > Security > Data Comm tabs.
Step 2 Click Change Mode.
Step 3 Review the information on the Change Secure Mode wizard page, then click Next.
Step 4 On the Node IP Address page, choose the address you want to assign to the node:
•Backplane Ethernet (LAN) Port—Assigns the backplane IP address as the node IP address.
•TCC Ethernet (LAN) Port—Assigns the TCC2P port IP address as the node IP address.
•New IP Address—Allows you to define a new IP address. If you choose this option, enter the new IP address, subnet mask, and default router IP address.
Step 5 Click Next.
Step 6 On the SOCKS Proxy Server Settings page, choose one of the following:
•External Network Element (ENE)—If selected, SOCKS proxy is disabled by default, and the CTC computer is only visible to the ONS 15454 where the CTC computer is connected. The computer is not visible to the secure mode, DCC-connected nodes. Firewall is enabled, which means that the node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port.
•Gateway Network Element (GNE)—If selected, the CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes, and SOCKS proxy remains enabled. However, the node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port.
•Proxy-only—If selected, the ONS 15454 responds to CTC requests with a list of DCC-connected nodes within the firewall for which the node serves as a proxy. The CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes. The node does not prevent traffic from being routed between the DCC and LAN port.
Step 7 Click Finish.
Within the next 30 to 40 seconds, the TCC2P cards reboot. CTC switches to network view, and the CTC Alerts dialog box appears. In network view, the node changes to gray and a DISCONNECTED condition appears.
Step 8 In the CTC Alerts dialog box, click Close. Wait for the reboot to finish. (This might take several minutes.)
Step 9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A437 Change a VCAT Member Service State
Note CTC only permits you to change the state of a member that does not use the link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS) if the new state matches the In Group VCAT state of the other members, or the new state is an Out of Group VCAT state. The In Group VCAT state indicates that a member has cross-connects in the IS-NR; OOS-MA,AINS; or OOS-AU,MT service states. For non-LCAS VCAT members, the Out of Group VCAT state is the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state.
Step 1 In node or network view, click the Circuits tab.
Step 2 Click the VCAT circuit that you want to edit, then click Edit.
Step 3 Click the Members tab.
Step 4 Select the member that you want to change. To choose multiple members, press Ctrl and click each member.
Step 5 From the Tools menu, choose Set Circuit State.
Note You can also change the state for all members listed in the Edit Circuit window using the State tab. Another alternative is to click the Edit Member button to access the Edit Member Circuit window for the selected member, and click the State tab.
Step 6 From the Target Circuit Admin State drop-down list, choose the administrative state:
•IS—Puts the member cross-connects in the IS-NR service state.
•OOS,DSBLD—Puts the member cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
•IS,AINS—Puts the member cross-connects in the OOS-AU,AINS service state and suppresses alarms and conditions. When the connections receive a valid signal, the service state automatically changes to IS-NR.
•OOS,MT—Puts the member cross-connects in the OOS-MA,MT service state. The maintenance state does not interrupt traffic flow; it suppresses alarms and conditions and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit. Use OOS,MT for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the administrative state to IS; IS,AINS; or OOS,DSBLD when testing is complete.
•OOS,OOG—(LCAS and Sw-LCAS VCAT only) Puts VCAT member cross-connects in the Out-of-Service and Management, Out-of-Group (OOS-MA,OOG) service state. This administrative state is used to put a member circuit out of the group and to stop sending traffic.
Note the following behavior of the two VCAT members on ML-Series cards (both SW-LCAS and non-LCAS members):
•When changing a member from the IS-NR to the OOS-MT, MT or the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state, changing the service state of the first member causes both members to change service state autonomously.
•When changing a member from the OOS-MA,DSBLD to the OOS-MT, MT or the IS-NR service state, you must begin with the second VCAT member. For example, change the service state of the second member first, and then the first member. You cannot change the service state of the first member if the second member is in another service state.
Step 7 Click Apply.
Step 8 To close the Edit Circuit window, choose Close from the File menu.

Note This procedure assumes that either DS3XM-6 or DS3XM-12 cards are installed in Slots 1 to 6 and/or Slots 12 to 17. If there are DS3XM-6 cards in Slots 3 or 15, which are the protection slots, they will be replaced with a DS3XM-12 cards.
Step 1 In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
Step 2 Click the protection group containing Slot 3 or Slot 15. If the 1:1 protect card in Slot 3 or Slot 15 is a DS3XM-6 card, continue with Step 3. If the 1:1 protect card in Slot 3 or Slot 15 is a DS3XM-12 card, continue with Step 5.
Step 3 Make sure the slot that you are upgrading is not carrying working traffic. In the Selected Group list, the protect slot must say Protect/Standby, and not Protect/Active. If the protect slot status is Protect/Active, switch traffic to the working card:
a. Under Selected Group, click the protect card.
b. Next to Switch Commands, click Switch.
The working slot should change to Working/Active and the protect slot should change to Protect/Standby. If they fail to change, do not continue. Troubleshoot the working card and slot to determine why the card cannot carry working traffic.
Step 4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each protection group that you need to convert.
Step 5 Click the Alarms tab to verify that no standing alarms exist for any of the DS3-12 cards you are converting. If alarms exist and you have difficulty clearing them, contact your next level of support.
Step 6 Click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.
Step 7 Click the 1:1 protection group that contains the cards that you will move into the new protection group.
Step 8 Click Delete.
Step 9 When the confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes.
Note Deleting 1:1 protection groups will not disrupt service. However, no protection bandwidth exists for the working circuits until the 1:N protection procedure is completed. Therefore, complete this procedure as soon as possible.
Step 10 If you are deleting more than one DS-3 1:1 protection group, repeat Steps 7 through 9 for each group that you want to include in a 1:N group.
Step 11 If the 1:1 protect card in Slot 3 or Slot 15 is a DS3XM-6 card, physically remove the protect DS3-12 card from Slot 3 or Slot 15. This raises an improper removal (IMPROPRMVL) alarm. If the 1:1 protect card in Slot 3 or Slot 15 is a DS3XM-12 card, continue with Step 16.
Step 12 In node view, right-click the slot that held the removed card and choose Delete from the shortcut menu. Wait for the card to disappear from the node view.
Step 13 Physically insert a DS3XM-12 card into the same slot.
Step 14 Verify that the card boots up properly.
Step 15 Click the Inventory tab and verify that the new card appears as a DS3XM-12 card.
Step 16 Click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.
Step 17 Click Create.
Step 18 Type a name for the protection group in the Name field (optional).
Step 19 Click Type and choose 1:N (card) from the drop-down list.
Step 20 Verify that the DS3XM-12 card appears in the Protect Card field.
Step 21 In the Available Cards list, highlight the cards that you want in the protection group. Click the arrow (>>) tab to move the cards to the Working Cards list.
Step 22 Click OK.

Step 1 If the SNMP "Get" (or other operation) is enabled on the ONS 15454 configured as a GNE, enter the community name assigned to the GNE in community name field on the MIB browser.
Note The community name is a form of authentication and access control. The community name of the NMS must match the community name assigned to the ONS 15454.
Step 2 If the SNMP "Get" (or other operation) is enabled for the ENE through a SOCKS proxy-enabled GNE, create a formatted string to enter in the MIB browser community name field. Refer to the following examples when constructing this string for your browser:
•Formatted community string input example 1:
allviews{192.168.7.4,,,net7node4}
If "allviews" is a valid community name value at the proxy-enabled SNMP agent (the GNE), the GNE is expected to forward the PDU to 192.168.7.4 at Port 161. The outgoing PDU will have "net7node4" as the community name. This is the valid community name for the ENE with address 192.168.7.4.
•Formatted community string input example 2:
allviews{192.168.7.99,,,enter7{192.168.9.6,161,,net9node6}}
If "allviews" is a valid community name value at the proxy-enabled GNE, the GNE is expected to forward the PDU to 192.168.7.99 at the default port (Port 161) with a community name of "enter7{192.168.9.6,161,,net9node6}". The system with the address 192.168.7.99 (the NE between the GNE and ENE) forwards this PDU to 192.168.9.6 at Port 161 (at the ENE) with a community name of "net9node6". The community name "enter7" is valid for the NE between the GNE and the ENE and "net9node6" is a valid community name for the ENE.
Step 3 Log into the NMS where the browser is installed to retrieve the network information from the ONS 15454.
Step 4 On this computer, go to Start and click the SNMP MIB browser application.
Step 5 In the Host and Community areas, enter the IP address of the GNE through which the ONS 15454 with the information to be retrieved can be reached.
Step 6 In the Community area, enter the community string as explained in Step 2.

DLP-A454 View the BLSR STS Squelch Table
Purpose
|
This task allows you to view the BLSR STS squelch table for an ONS 15454 BLSR node. For example, if a fiber cut occurs, the BLSR STS squelch tables show STSs that will be squelched for every isolated node. Squelching replaces traffic by inserting the appropriate alarm indication signal path (AIS-P); it prevents traffic misconnections. For an STS with a VT-access check mark, the AIS-P will be removed after 100 ms. For more information about BLSR squelching, refer to Telcordia GR-1230.

e. Click Squelch Table from the drop-down list.
Step 3 In the BLSR Squelch Table window you can view the following information:
•STS Number—Shows the BLSR STS numbers. For two-fiber BLSRs, the number of STSs is half the BLSR OC-N, for example, an OC-48 BLSR squelch table will show 24 STSs. For four-fiber BLSRs, the number of STSs in the table is the same as the BLSR OC-N.
•West Source—If traffic is received by the node on its west span, the BLSR node ID of the source appears. (To view the BLSR node IDs for all nodes in the ring, click the Ring Map button.)
•West VT (from the West Source)—A check mark indicates that the STS carries incoming VT traffic. The traffic source is coming from the west side.
•West VT (from the West Destination)—A check mark indicates that the STS carries outgoing VT traffic. The traffic is dropped on the west side.
•West Dest—If traffic is sent on the node's west span, the BLSR node ID of the destination appears.
•East Source—If traffic is received by the node on its east span, the BLSR node ID of the source appears.
•East VT (from the East Source)—A check mark indicates that the STS carries incoming VT traffic. The traffic source is coming from the east side.
•East VT (from the East Destination)—A check mark indicates that the STS carries outgoing VT traffic. The traffic is dropped on the east side.
•East Dest—If traffic is sent on the node's east span, the BLSR node ID of the destination appears.
Note BLSR squelching is performed on STSs that carry STS circuits only. Squelch table entries will not appear for STSs carrying VT circuits or Ethernet circuits to or from E-Series Ethernet cards provisioned in a multicard Ethergroup.
Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A455 View the BLSR VT Squelch Table
Purpose
|
BLSR VT squelch tables only appear on the node dropping VTs from a BLSR and are used to perform VT-level squelching when a node is isolated. VT squelching is supported on the ONS 15454 and the ONS 15327 platforms.
The ONS 15600 platform does not support VT squelching; however, when an ONS 15454 and an ONS 15600 are in the same network, the ONS 15600 node allows the ONS 15454 node to carry VT circuits in a VT tunnel. The ONS 15600 performs 100-ms STS-level squelching for each VT-access STS at the switching node in case of a node failure. For more information about BLSR squelching, refer to Telcordia GR-1230.

Caution Do not configure a node for RADIUS authentication until after you have added that node to the RADIUS server and added the RADIUS server to the list of authenticators. If you do not add the node to a RADIUS server prior to activating RADIUS authentication, no user will be able to access the node. Refer to the
User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server for more information about adding a node to a RADIUS server.
Note The following Cisco vendor-specific attribute (VSA) needs to be specified when adding users to the RADIUS server:
shell:priv-lvl=N, where N is:
0 for Retrieve User
1 for Maintenance User
2 for Provisioning User
3 for Super User.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Security > RADIUS Server tabs ( Figure 21-4).
Figure 21-4 RADIUS Server Tab
Step 2 Click Create to add a RADIUS server to the list of authenticators. The Create RADIUS Server Entry window appears ( Figure 21-5).
Figure 21-5 Create RADIUS Server Entry Window
Step 3 Enter the RADIUS server IP address in the IP Address field. If the node is an end network element (ENE), enter the IP address of the gateway network element (GNE) in this field.
The GNE passes authentication requests from the ENEs in its network to the RADIUS server, which grants authentication if the GNE is listed as a client on the server.
Caution Because the ENE nodes use the GNE to pass authentication requests to the RADIUS server, you must add the ENEs to the RADIUS server individually for authentication. If you do not add the ENE node to a RADIUS server prior to activating RADIUS authentication, no user will be able to access the node. Refer to the
User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server for more information about adding a node to a RADIUS server.
Step 4 Enter the shared secret in the Shared Secret field. A shared secret is a text string that serves as a password between a RADIUS client and RADIUS server.
Step 5 Enter the RADIUS authentication port number in the Authentication Port field. The default port is 1812. If the node is an ENE, set the authentication port to a number within the range of 1860 to 1869.
Step 6 Enter the RADIUS accounting port in the Accounting Port field. The default port is 1813. If the node is an ENE, set the accounting port to a number within the range of 1870 to 1879.
Step 7 Click OK. The RADIUS server is added to the list of RADIUS authenticators.
Note You can add up to 10 RADIUS servers to a node's list of authenticators.
Step 8 Click Edit to make changes to an existing RADIUS server. You can change the IP address, the shared secret, the authentication port, and the accounting port.
Step 9 Click Delete to delete the selected RADIUS server.
Step 10 Click Move Up or Move Down to reorder the list of RADIUS authenticators. The node requests authentication from the servers sequentially from top to bottom. If one server is unreachable, the node will request authentication from the next RADIUS server on the list.
Step 11 Click the Enable RADIUS Authentication check box to activate remote-server authentication for the node.
Step 12 Click the Enable RADIUS Accounting check box if you want to show RADIUS authentication information in the audit trail.
Step 13 Click the Enable the Node as the Final Authenticator check box if you want the node to be the final autheticator. This means that if every RADIUS authenticator is unavailable, the node will authenticate the login rather than locking the user out.
Step 14 Click Apply to save all changes or Reset to clear all changes.

Step 10 In the Pivot/Fixed Point 2 window, click the square that represents the fixed path of the second connection to be rolled.
The path that is not selected is the Roll From path. The Roll From path is deleted after the roll is completed. The path identifier appears in the text box below the graphic image.
Step 11 Click Next.
Step 12 In the Circuit Routing Preferences area, check Route Automatically to allow CTC to find the route ( Figure 21-12). If you check Route Automatically, the following options are available:
•Using Required Nodes/Spans—If checked, you can specify nodes and spans to include or exclude in the CTC-generated circuit route in Step 15.
•Review Route Before Creation—If checked, you can review and edit the circuit route before the circuit is created.
Figure 21-12 Setting Roll Routing Preferences
Step 13 To route the circuit over a protected path, check Fully Protected Path. (If you do not want to route the circuit on a protected path, continue with Step 14.) CTC creates a primary and alternate circuit route (virtual path protection) based on the following nodal diversity options. Select one of the following choices and follow subsequent window prompts to complete the routing:
•Nodal Diversity Required—Ensures that the primary and alternate paths within path-protected mesh network (PPMN) portions of the complete circuit path are nodally diverse.
•Nodal Diversity Desired—Specifies that node diversity should be attempted, but if node diversity is not possible, CTC creates link diverse paths for the PPMN portion of the complete circuit path.
•Link Diversity Only—Specifies that only link-diverse primary and alternate paths for PPMN portions of the complete circuit path are needed. The paths might be node-diverse, but CTC does not check for node diversity.
Step 14 If you checked Route Automatically in Step 12:
•If you checked Using Required Nodes/Spans, continue with Step 15.
•If you checked only Review Route Before Creation, continue with Step 16.
•If you did not check Using Required Nodes/Spans or Review Route Before Creation, continue with Step 17.
Step 15 If you checked Using Required Nodes/Spans in Step 12:
a. In the Roll Route Constraints area, click a node or span on the circuit map.
b. Click Include to include the node or span in the circuit. Click Exclude to exclude the node/span from the circuit. The order in which you select included nodes and spans sets the circuit sequence. Click spans twice to change the circuit direction.
c. Repeat Step b for each node or span you wish to include or exclude.
d. Review the circuit route. To change the circuit routing order, select a node in the Required Nodes/Lines or Excluded Nodes Links lists, then click the Up or Down buttons to change the circuit routing order. Click Remove to remove a node or span.
Step 16 If you checked Review Route Before Creation in Step 12:
a. In the Roll Route Review and Edit area, review the circuit route. To add or delete a circuit span, select a node on the circuit route. Blue arrows show the circuit route. Green arrows indicate spans that you can add. Click a span arrowhead, then click Include to include the span or Remove to remove the span.
b. If the provisioned circuit does not reflect the routing and configuration you want, click Back to verify and change circuit information.
Caution The following is only seen with DUAL roll mode when both ends of the circuit use the card(s) mentioned in this statement. If the termination card is a DS1/E1-56, DS1-14, DS1-N-14, DS3XM-6, or DS3XM-12 card, a roll will occur even if a valid signal is not detected on the Roll To port. The absence of path payload defect indication (PDI-P) downstream for loss of signal (LOS), loss of frame alignment (LOF), and AIS line defects causes the roll to continue without a valid signal. On the DS1/E1-56, DS1-14, and DS1-N-14 cards, it is possible to check the Send AIS-V For Ds1 AIS check box to properly generate PDI-P downstream for the LOS and LOF AIS line defects. This check box is selected from the card view Provisioning > Line tab. On the DS1-14 and DS1-N-14 cards, Send AIS-V for Ds1 AIS only works for VT circuits. On DS1/E1-56 cards, Send AIS-V for Ds1 AIS works for both STS and VT circuits.
Step 17 Click Finish.
In the Circuits tab, verify that a new circuit appears. This circuit is the Roll To circuit. It is designated with the Roll From circuit name appended with ROLL**.
Step 18 Click the Rolls tab. Two new rolls now appear. For each pending roll, view the Roll Valid Signal status. When one of the following requirements is met, continue with Step 19.
•If the Roll Valid Signal status is true, a valid signal was found on the new port.
•If the Roll Valid Signal status is false, a valid signal was not found. Wait until the signal is found before continuing with the next step. If a valid signal is not found, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide. To cancel the roll, see the "DLP-A489 Cancel a Roll" task.
•The roll is a one-way destination roll and the Roll Valid signal status is false. It is not possible to get a Roll Valid Signal status of true for a one-way destination roll.
Note If you have completed a roll, you cannot cancel the sibling roll. You must cancel the two rolls together.
Note You cannot cancel an automatic roll after a valid signal is found.
•A roll can be forced onto the Roll To Circuit destination without a valid signal by using the Force Valid Signal button. If you choose Force Valid Signal, traffic on the circuit that is involved in the roll will be dropped when the roll is completed.
Step 19 If you selected Manual in Step 5, click both rolls on the Rolls tab and click Complete to route the traffic to the new port. If you selected Auto, continue with Step 20.
Note You cannot complete a roll if you cancelled the sibling roll. You must complete the two rolls together.

Warning Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
Warning Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm could pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056
Note G-Series cards manufactured before August 2003 do not support DWDM GBICs. G1K-4 cards compatible with DWDM GBICs have a Common Language Equipment Identification (CLEI) code of WM5IRWPCAA.
Note All versions of G1K-4 cards support coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) GBICs.
Note GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are hot-swappable and can therefore be installed/removed while the card/shelf assembly is powered and running.
Step 1 Remove the GBIC, SFP, or XFP from its protective packaging.
Step 2 Check the label to verify that the GBIC, SFP, or XFP is the correct type for your network.
Table 21-8 shows the available GBICs.
Note The GBICs are very similar in appearance. Check the GBIC label carefully before installing it.

Note Before you install SFPs on the MRC-12 card, refer to the MRC-12 card information in the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual for bandwidth restrictions based on the port where you install the SFP and the cross-connect card being used.
Step 3 Verify the type of GBIC, SFP, or XFP you are using:
•If you are using a GBIC with clips, go to Step 4.
•If you are using a GBIC with a handle, go to Step 5.
•If you are using an SFP or XFP, go to Step 6.
Step 4 For GBICs with clips:
a. Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger and insert the GBIC into the slot on the card.
Note GBICs are keyed to prevent incorrect installation.
b. Slide the GBIC through the flap that covers the opening until you hear a click. The click indicates the GBIC is locked into the slot.
c. When you are ready to attach the network fiber-optic cable, remove the protective plug from the GBIC, save the plug for future use, then plug the fiber connector into the GBIC.
d. Continue with Step 7.
Step 5 For GBICs with a handle:
a. Remove the protective plug from the SC-type connector.
b. Grip the sides of the GBIC with your thumb and forefinger and insert the GBIC into the slot on the card.
c. Lock the GBIC into place by closing the handle down. The handle is in the correct closed position when it does not obstruct access to an SC-type connector.
d. Slide the GBIC through the cover flap until you hear a click.
The click indicates that the GBIC is locked into the slot.
e. When you are ready to attach the network fiber-optic cable, remove the protective plug from the GBIC, save the plug for future use, then plug the fiber connector into the GBIC.
f. Continue with Step 7.
Step 6 For SFPs and XFPs:
a. Plug the LC duplex connector of the fiber into a Cisco-supported SFP or XFP.
b. If the new SFP or XFP has a latch, close the latch over the cable to secure it.
c. Plug the cabled SFP or XFP into the card port until it clicks.
SFPs and XFPs must be provisioned in CTC. If you installed a multirate PPM, complete the "DLP-A444 Provision a PPM on the MRC-12 Card" task. (Single-rate XFPs do not need to be provisioned in CTC.)

DLP-A489 Cancel a Roll
Purpose
|
This task cancels a roll. When the roll mode is Manual, you can only cancel a roll before you click the Complete button. When the roll mode is Auto, cancelling a roll is only allowed before a good signal is detected by the node or before clicking the Force Valid Signal button. A dual or single roll can be cancelled before the roll state changes to ROLL_COMPLETED.
