Step1 Complete the "DLP-F36 Log into CTC" task for the node you will turn up. If you are already logged in, continue with Step2.
Step2 Click the Provisioning > General tabs.
Step3 Enter the following information in the fields listed:
•Node Name—Type a name for the node. For TL1 compliance, names must begin with an alpha character and have no more than 20 alphanumeric characters.
•Contact—Type the name of the node contact person and the phone number, up to 255 characters (optional).
•Location—Type the node location, for example, city name or specific office location (optional).
•Latitude—Enter the node latitude: N (North) or S (South), degrees, and minutes (optional).
•Longitude—Enter the node longitude: E (East) or W (West), degrees, and minutes (optional).
Tip You can also position nodes manually in network view. Press Ctrl while you drag and drop the node icon. To create the same network map visible for all ONS15600SDH users, complete the "NTP-F33 Create a Logical Network Map" procedure.
CTC uses the latitude and longitude to position ONS 15600 SDH icons on the network view map. To convert a coordinate in degrees to degrees and minutes, multiply the number after the decimal by 60. For example, the latitude 38.250739 converts to 38 degrees, 15 minutes (.250739 x 60 = 15.0443, rounded to the nearest whole number).
•Description—Type a description of the node. The description can be a maximum of 255 characters.
•Use NTP/SNTP Server—When checked, CTC uses a Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server to set the date and time of the node.
If you do not use an SNTP or NTP server, complete the Date and Time fields. The ONS 15600 SDH will use these fields for alarm dates and times. (CTC displays all alarms in the login node's time zone for cross network consistency.)
Note Using an NTP or SNTP server ensures that all ONS15600SDH network nodes use the same date and time reference. The server synchronizes the node date and time after power outages or software upgrades.
If you check the Use NTP/SNTP Server box, type the IP address of an NTP/SNTP server or the IP address of another ONS 15600 SDH with NTP/SNTP Server enabled.
If you check Enable Firewall for the ONS 15600 SDH proxy server (see the "DLP-F43 Provision IP Settings" task ), external ONS 15600 SDH network elements (NEs) must reference the gateway ONS 15600 SDH NE for NTP/SNTP timing. For more information about the ONS 15600 SDH gateway settings, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.
Caution If you reference another ONS15600SDH for the NTP/SNTP server, make sure the second ONS15600SDH references an NTP/SNTP server and not the first ONS15600SDH (that is, do not create an NTP/SNTP timing loop by having two ONS15600SDHs reference each other).
•Date—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not selected, type the current date in the format mm/dd/yyyy, for example, September 24, 2002 is 09/24/2002.
•Time—If Use NTP/SNTP Server is not selected, type the current time in the format hh:mm:ss, for example, 11:24:58. The ONS 15600 SDH uses a 24-hour clock, so 10:00 PM is entered as 22:00:00.
•Time Zone—Click the field and choose a city within your time zone from the drop-down menu. The menu displays the 80 World Time Zones from -11 through 0 (GMT) to +14. Continental United States time zones are GMT-05:00 (Eastern), GMT-06:00 (Central), GMT-07:00 (Mountain), and GMT-08:00 (Pacific).
Step4 Click Apply .
Step5 In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes .
Step6 Review the node information. If you need to make corrections, repeat Steps 3 through 5 to enter the corrections. If the information is correct, continue with the "NTP-F25 Set Up CTC Network Access" procedure.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.

Step1 From the View menu, choose Go To Home View .
Step2 Click the Provisioning > Network > General tabs.
Step3 Complete the following information in the fields listed:
•IP Address—Type the IP address assigned to the ONS 15600 SDH node.
•Default Router—If the ONS 15600 SDH must communicate with a device on a network to which the ONS 15600 SDH is not connected, the ONS 15600 SDH forwards the packets to the default router. Type the IP address of the router in this field.
Note This field is ignored if the node is not connected to a LAN, or if you enable any of the Gateway Settings to implement the ONS15600SDH proxy server feature.
•Forward DHCP Request To—Check this check box to enable DHCP. Also, enter the DHCP server IP address in the Request To field. This box is unchecked by default. If you will enable any of the gateway settings to implement the ONS 15600 SDH proxy server features, leave this field blank.
Note If you enable DHCP, computers connected to an ONS15600SDH node can obtain temporary IP addresses from an external DHCP server. The ONS15600SDH only forwards DHCP requests; it does not act as a DHCP server.
•MAC Address—(Read only) Displays the ONS 15600 SDH IEEE 802 MAC address.
•Net/Subnet Mask Length—If the ONS 15600 SDH is part of a subnet, type the subnet mask length (decimal number representing the subnet mask length in bits) or click the arrows to adjust the subnet mask length. The subnet mask length is the same for all ONS 15600 SDH nodes in the same subnet.
•TSC CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port—Provisions the ONS 15600 SDH IIOP listener port. This listener port enables communication with the ONS 15600 SDH through firewalls. See the "NTP-F98 Set Up the ONS 15600 SDH for Firewall Access" procedure for more information.
•Gateway Settings—Provides three check boxes that enable the ONS 15600 SDH proxy server features. Do not enable any of the check boxes until you review the proxy server scenario in the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual. In proxy server networks, the ONS 15600 SDH is either a gateway network element (GNE) or external network element (ENE). Provisioning must be consistent for each NE type.
–Enable Proxy—If checked, the ONS 15600 SDH responds to CTC requests with a list of DCC-connected nodes for which the node serves as a proxy. Gateway and external NEs within a proxy server network should have this box checked.
–Enable Firewall—If checked, the node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port. Gateway and external NEs within a proxy server network should have this box checked. If Enable Firewall is checked, Enable Proxy must be selected in order for the directly connected PC to have visibility to DCC-connected nodes.
Step4 Click Apply .
Step5 In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes .
Both ONS 15600 SDH TSC cards will reboot, one at a time. Next, a "Lost node connection, switching to network view" message appears. The reset causes the standby TSC to become the active TSC.
Step6 If the cable was connected to the RJ-45 port on the active Timing and Shelf Control (TSC) (now the standby TSC), disconnect the cable and connect it to the RJ-45 port on the other TSC (now the active TSC).

Step3 In the Create Static Route dialog box enter the following:
•Destination—Enter the IP address of the computer running CTC. To limit access to one computer, enter the full IP address and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255. To allow access to all computers on the 192.168.1.0 subnet, enter 192.168.1.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You can enter a destination of 0.0.0.0 to allow access to all CTC computers that connect to the router.
•Mask—Enter a subnet mask. If Destination is a host route (that is, one CTC computer), enter a 32-bit subnet mask (255.255.255.255). If Destination is a subnet, adjust the subnet mask accordingly, for example, 255.255.255.0. If Destination is 0.0.0.0, CTC automatically enters a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 to provide access to all CTC computers. You cannot change this value.
•Next Hop—Enter the IP address of the router port or the node IP address if the CTC computer is connected to the node directly.
•Cost—Enter the number of hops between the ONS 15600 SDH and the computer.

Note If the ONS15600SDH has DCC or LAN interfaces in multiple OSPF areas, at least one ONS15600SDH DCC or LAN interface must be in the backbone area 0.0.0.0.
Note CTC will not allow both a DCC interface and a LAN interface in the same nonzero OSPF area.
Note To create OSPF virtual links, OSPF must be enabled on the LAN.
Step1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Network > OSPF tabs.
Step2 In the top left side of the OSPF pane, complete the following:
•DCC/GCC OSPF Area ID Table—In dotted decimal format, enter the number that identifies the ONS 15600 SDH nodes as a unique OSPF area ID. The area ID can be any number between 000.000.000.000 and 255.255.255.255, but must be unique to the LAN OSPF area.
•DCC Metric—This value is normally unchanged. It sets a "cost" for sending packets across the DCC, which is used by OSPF routers to calculate the shortest path. This value should always be higher than the LAN metric. The default DCC metric is 10. The metric changes to 100 if you check the OSPF Active on LAN box in Step 3 .
Step3 In the OSPF on LAN area, complete the following:
•OSPF active on LAN—When checked, enables ONS 15600 SDH OSPF topology to be advertised to OSPF routers on the LAN. Enable this field on ONS 15600 SDH nodes that directly connect to OSPF routers. When checked, the DCC Metric value changes from the default of 10 to 100.
•LAN Port Area ID—Enter the OSPF area ID (dotted decimal format) for the router port where the ONS 15600 SDH is connected. (This number is different from the DCC/GCC OSPF Area ID.)
Step4 By default, OSPF is set to No Authentication. If the OSPF router requires authentication, complete the following steps. If not, continue with Step5.
a. Click the No Authentication button.
b. In the Edit Authentication Key dialog box, complete the following:
•Type—Choose Simple Password .
•Enter Authentication Key—Enter the password.
•Confirm Authentication Key—Enter the same password to confirm it.
c. Click OK .
The authentication button label changes to Simple Password.
Step5 Provision the OSPF priority and interval settings. The OSPF priority and intervals default to values most commonly used by OSPF routers. In the Priority and Intervals area, verify that these values match those used by the OSPF router where the ONS15600SDH is connected:
•Router Priority—Selects the designated router for a subnet.
•Hello Interval (sec)—Sets the number of seconds between OSPF "hello" packet advertisements sent by OSPF routers. Ten seconds is the default.
•Dead Interval—Sets the number of seconds that will pass while an OSPF router's packets are not visible before its neighbors declare the router down. Forty seconds is the default.
•Transit Delay (sec)—Indicates the service speed. One second is the default.
•Retransmit Interval (sec)—Sets the time that will elapse before a packet is resent. Five seconds is the default.
•LAN Metric—Sets a "cost" for sending packets across the LAN. This value should always be lower than the DCC metric. Ten is the default.
Step6 Under OSPF Area Range Table , create an area range table if one is needed.
Note Area range tables consolidate the information that is propagated outside an OSPF area border. One ONS15600SDH in the ONS15600SDH OSPF area is connected to the OSPF router. An area range table on this node points the router to the other nodes that reside within the ONS15600SDH OSPF area.
a. Under OSPF Area Range Table, click Create .
b. In the Create Area Range dialog box, enter the following:
•Range Address—Enter the area IP address for the ONS 15600 SDH nodes that reside within the OSPF area. For example, if the ONS 15600 SDH OSPF area includes nodes with IP addresses 10.10.20.100, 10.10.30.150, 10.10.40.200, and 10.10.50.250, the range address would be 10.10.0.0.
•Range Area ID—Enter the OSPF area ID for the ONS 15600 SDH nodes. This is either the ID in the DCC OSPF Area ID field or the ID in the Area ID for LAN Port field.
•Mask Length—Enter the subnet mask length. In the Range Address example, this is 16.
•Advertise—Check this box if you want to advertise the OSPF range table.
c. Click OK .
Step7 All OSPF areas must be connected to Area 0. If the ONS15600SDH OSPF area is not physically connected to Area 0, use the following steps to create a virtual link table that will provide the disconnected area with a logical path to Area 0:
a. Under OSPF Virtual Link Table, click Create .
b. In the Create Virtual Link dialog box, complete the following fields (OSPF settings must match OSPF settings for the ONS 15600 SDH OSPF area):
•Neighbor—The router ID of the Area 0 router.
•Transit Delay (sec)—The service speed. One second is the default.
•Hello Int (sec)—The number of seconds between OSPF hello packet advertisements sent by OSPF routers. Ten seconds is the default.
•Auth Type—If the router where the ONS 15600 SDH is connected uses authentication, choose Simple Password . Otherwise, choose No Authentication .
•Retransmit Int (sec)—Sets the time that will elapse before a packet is resent. Five seconds is the default.
•Dead Int (sec)—Sets the number of seconds that will pass while an OSPF router's packets are not visible before its neighbors declare the router down. Forty seconds is the default.
c. Click OK .
Step8 After entering ONS15600SDH OSPF area data, click Apply .
If you changed the Area ID, the TSC cards will reset, one at a time. The reset will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Step9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Note If you do not perform this procedure, the ONS15600SDH defaults to its internal ITU G.811 and G.812 clock.
Step1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Timing tabs.
Step2 In the General Timing area, complete the following information:
•Timing Mode—Choose External if the ONS 15600 SDH derives its timing from a BITS source wired to the backplane pins; choose Line if timing is derived from an STM-N card that is optically connected to the timing node.
•SSM Message Set—Enabled only if T1 signal type is selected.
•Quality of RES—Not enabled for ONS 15600 SDH.
•Revertive—Check this box if you want the ONS 15600 SDH to revert to a primary reference source after the conditions that caused it to switch to a secondary timing reference are corrected. Five minutes is the default.
•Reversion Time—If Revertive is checked, choose the amount of time the ONS 15600 SDH will wait before reverting back to its primary timing source.
•HoldOFF Time—If a value other than zero is provided, then this is the amount of time the ONS 15600 SDH will wait before including a previously failed timing source as available and valid. None is the default.
Step3 In the BITS Facilities area, complete the following information:
Note The BITS Facilities section sets the parameters for your BITS1 and BITS2 timing references. Many of these settings are determined by the timing source manufacturer.
•E1, T1, 2.048MHz, 64KHz—Choose E1, T1, 2.048MHz, or 64KHz depending on the signal supported in your market. For example, 64KHz is used in Japan. E1, T1, 2.048MHz, and 64KHz are physical signal modes used to transmit the external clock (from a GPS, for example) to BITS.
•State—For nodes using external timing, set State to IS (In Service).
•Coding—Choose the coding used by your BITS reference, either HDB3 or AMI. If you selected 2.048 MHz or 64 KHz, the coding option is disabled.
•Framing—Set to the framing used by your BITS reference, either Unframed, FAS, FAS+CAS, FAS+CRC, or FAS+CAS+CRC. If you selected 2.048 MHz or 64 KHz, the coding option is disabled.
•Sync Messaging—Check this box to enable synchronization status messaging (SSM). The SSM Sync Messaging feature is automatically disabled if the 2.048 MHz or 64 KHz and E1 with FAS, FAS+CAS framing is provisioned.
•Cable Type (ohm)—Choose 75 ohm or 120 ohm.
•Sa bit—Choose one of 5 Sa bits (4, 5, 6, 7, or 8). The Sa bit transmits the SSM Message. If you selected 2.048MHz or 64KHz, the Sa bit option is disabled.
Step4 In the Reference Lists area, complete the NE Reference, which allows you to define three timing references (Ref 1, Ref 2, and Ref3). The node uses Reference 1 unless a failure occurs to that reference, in which case, the node uses Reference 2. If that fails, the node uses Reference 3, which is typically set to Internal Clock. This is the G.813 traceable clock provided on the TSC. The options displayed depend on the Timing Mode setting.
•If the Timing Mode is External, your options are BITS1, BITS2, and Internal Clock.
•If the Timing Mode is Line, your options are the node's STM-N ports (except for ports that have been specified as protection ports in 1+1 [LMSP] (Linear Multiplex Section Protection) protection groups) and Internal Clock. Choose the cards/ports that are directly or indirectly connected to the node wired to the BITS source, that is, the node's trunk cards. Set Reference 1 to the trunk card that is closest to the BITS source. For example, if Slot 3/Port 16 is connected to the node wired to the BITS source, choose Slot 3 as Reference 1.
Step5 Click Apply .
Note Refer to the CiscoONS15600SDH Troubleshooting Guide for timing-related alarms.
Step6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

NTP-F27 Create a 1+1 (LMSP) Protection Group
|
Purpose
|
This procedure creates a 1+1 (LMSP) protection group. A 1+1 protection group pairs a working STM-N port with a protect STM-N port. The ports on cards can be either working or protect. You can mix working and protect ports on the same card—any STM-64 port can protect another STM-64 port, and any STM-16 port can protect another STM-16 port. You cannot mix STM-64 and STM-16 ports in protection schemes.

Step1 Complete the "DLP-F36 Log into CTC" task at the node where you want to create the protection. If you are already logged in, continue with Step2.
Step2 Verify that the STM-N cards are installed/preprovisioned.
Step3 Click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.
Step4 In the Protection Group area, click Create .
Step5 In the Create Protection Group dialog box, enter the following:
•Name—Type a name for the protection group. The name can have up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
•Type—Choose 1+1 (port) from the drop-down menu.
•Protect (Entity) Port—Choose the protect port from the drop-down menu. When you choose 1+1 (port) from the Type drop-down menu, this field changes from Protect Entity to Protect Port. The menu displays the available STM-N ports ( Figure 4-1 ). If STM-N cards are not installed, no ports appear in the drop-down menu.
After you choose the protect port, a list of working ports available for protection appears in the Available Ports list. If no cards are available, no ports appear. If this occurs, you cannot complete this task until you install the physical cards or pre provision the ONS 15600 SDH slots using the "NTP-F14 Preprovision a Slot" procedure .
Figure 4-1 Creating a 1+1 Protection Group
Step6 From the Available Ports list, choose the working port that will be protected by the port chosen in the Protect Ports menu. Click the top arrow button to move each port to the Working Ports list.
Step7 Complete the remaining fields:
•Bidirectional switching—If checked, both the near-end and far-end nodes switch to the designated protection ports. For example, if the near-end node has a loss of signal (LOS), it switches to the protection port and transmits a switch request to the far-end node to switch to the protection port also. This ensures that both nodes process traffic from the same span.
If the Bidirectional switching check box is not selected, the near-end and far-end nodes switch independently of each other. For example, if the near-end node has an LOS on its working port it switches to the protection port. If the far-end node does not have a LOS, traffic remains on the working port.
•Revertive—Check this box if you want traffic to revert to the working port after failure conditions stay corrected for the amount of time entered in the Reversion time field.
•Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, click the Reversion time field and choose a reversion time from the drop-down menu. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. Reversion time is the interval between the point when the fault is cleared and the point when the traffic switches to the working port.
Step8 Click OK and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
