Field Descriptions for the Create Link Wizard (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

Field

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

Direction

 

Specify whether the link is unidirectional or bidirectional. For the ONS 15501, ONS 15800, ONS 15801,

 

 

 

and ONS 15808, only unidirectional links are available.

 

 

 

 

 

Provision Type

 

Specify the type of link provisioning. Values are:

 

 

 

• Manual—The link is manually provisioned.

 

 

 

• Patchcord—(Applicable only to links involving transponders and DWDM modules) The link is an

 

 

 

internode or intranode termination provisioned between homogeneous ports. A patchcord link

 

 

 

represents the connection between a line card and a transponder, or the connection between a

 

 

 

transponder and a DWDM card. Patchcord links can be provisioned by CTM or CTC users and are

 

 

 

maintained by the NEs.

 

 

 

Note Protection groups are not recognized when creating patchcord or manual links.

 

 

 

 

 

Cost

 

Specify a numeric cost associated with the SONET or SDH layer link. The cost range is 0 to 999999. This

 

 

 

field applies only to links in the SONET or SDH layer between CTC-based NEs. For all other links, the

 

 

 

Cisco default value is 1024. All autodiscovered links have the Cisco default cost 1024.

 

 

 

 

 

Shared Risk

 

(SONET/SDH layer rates only) Enter a free-format string that represents the SRLG, or a group of links

 

Link Groups

 

that share a common risk. For example, a set of links that originate at a node share the node as the common

 

 

 

risk.

 

 

 

The Shared Risk Link Groups field supports up to 5 comma-separated values, with 32 characters per value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Link Source Panel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Node

 

Identify which NE serves as the source of the link.

 

 

 

 

 

Physical

 

Identify the physical slot, subslot (if applicable), and port in the source NE. For the ONS 15216, identify

 

Termination

 

the name of the PTP. For the ONS 15800, ONS 15801, and ONS 15808, identify the rack, subrack, slot,

 

Point

 

and direction (east-to-west or west-to-east).

 

 

 

Note The card type is shown adjacent to the slot number; for example, “1 (OC3_8)” represents the

 

 

 

OC3_8 card in slot 1.

 

 

 

Note If the port name is available, it is shown adjacent to the port number.

 

 

 

 

 

PTP Value

 

(Not Managed/Other Vendor and MDS 9000 NEs only) Specify the PTP value. Maximum length is 30

 

 

 

characters; minimum length is 1 character.

 

 

 

 

 

Name

 

For the ONS 15501, ONS 15530, and ONS 15540, identify the PTP as a single name, which includes a port

 

 

 

type and slot number and might also include a subslot number and port number.

 

 

 

 

Link Destination Panel

 

 

 

 

 

Node

 

This is a display-only field if you selected an NE as the destination of the link. If you selected a group as

 

 

 

the destination of the link, select from the pull-down menu a specific NE that will be the destination of the

 

 

 

link.

 

 

 

 

 

Physical

 

Identify the physical slot, subslot (if applicable), and port in the destination NE. For the ONS 15216,

 

Termination

 

identify the name of the PTP. For the ONS 15800, ONS 15801, and ONS 15808, identify the rack, subrack,

 

Point

 

slot, and direction (east-to-west or west-to-east).

 

 

 

Note The card type is shown adjacent to the slot number; for example, “1 (OC3_8)” represents the

 

 

 

OC3_8 card in slot 1.

 

 

 

Note If the port name is available, it is shown adjacent to the port number.

 

 

 

 

 

PTP Value

 

(For Not Managed/Other Vendor and MDS 9000 only) Specify the PTP value. Maximum length is 30

 

 

 

characters; minimum length is 1 character.
