Chapter 14 Configuring Resilient Packet Ring on the ML-Series Card

Configuring RPR

Step 6 Select the relevant size of the circuit from the Size drop-down list, and the appropriate state from the State list.

Step 7 Click Next.

The Source page appears.

Step 8 Select Node 1 as the source node from the node drop-down list.

Step 9 Select the ML-Series card from the Slot drop-down list, and choose 0 (POS) from the Port drop-down list.

Step 10 Click Next.

The Destination page appears.

Step 11 Select Node 2 as the destination node from the Node drop-down list.

Step 12 Select the ML-Series card from the Slot drop-down list, and choose 1 (POS) from the Port drop-down list.

Step 13 Click Next.

The Circuit Routing Preferences page appears.

Step 14 Uncheck the Fully Protected Path check box.

Step 15 Click Next.

The Circuit Constraints for Automatic Routing page appears.

Step 16 Click the Node 1 icon to select it and click Next.

The Route Review/Edit page appears.

Step 17 Click Finish.

You have now completed the initial circuit for the RPR.

Note A TPTFAIL alarm might appear on CTC when the circuit is created. This alarm will disappear after the POS ports are enabled during the “Assigning the ML-Series Card POS Ports to the SPR Interface” procedure on page 14-11.

Step 18 Build the second circuit between POS 0 on Node 2 and POS 1 on Node 3. Use the same procedure described in Steps 1 through 17, but substitute Node 2 for Node 1 and Node 3 for Node 2.

Step 19 Build the third circuit between POS 0 on Node 3 and POS 1 on Node 1. Use the same procedure described in Steps 1 through 17, but substitute Node 3 for Node 1 and Node 1 for Node 2.

Now all of the POS ports in all three nodes are connected by STS point-to-point circuits in an east-to-west pattern, as shown in Figure 14-5 on page 14-8.

Step 20 The CTC circuit process is complete.

Configuring RPR Characteristics and the SPR Interface on the ML-Series Card

You configure RPR on the ML-Series cards by creating an SPR interface using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI). The SPR interface is a virtual interface for the SPR. An ML-Series card supports a single SPR interface with a single MAC address. It provides all the normal attributes of a Cisco IOS virtual interface, such as support for default routes.

It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
