Deleting an ML-Series Card from an RPR

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

Delete an ML-Series Card from an RPR

•Test Ethernet connectivity between the access ports on the existing adjacent ML-Series cards with a test set to ensure that the RPR wrapped successfully.

•Delete the two STS circuits that will be replaced by the new circuits. (In Figure 14-9, this is the circuit between the Delete Node and one Adjacent Node, and the circuit between the Delete Node and the other Adjacent Node.)

•Remove the Delete Node from the ring topology if desired.

•Physically remove the delete ML-Series card from the node if desired.

•Create an STS circuit from the available POS port of one of the remaining adjacent ML-Series cards to the available POS port on the other remaining adjacent ML-Series card. (In Figure 14-10, this is the circuit between Adjacent Node 2, POS Port 0 and Adjacent Node 1, POS Port 1.)

•Enable the POS ports on the existing adjacent ML-Series cards.(In Figure 14-10, this is the Adjacent Node 2, POS Port 0 and the Adjacent Node 1, POS Port 1.)

•Test Ethernet connectivity between the access ports on the adjacent ML-Series card with a test set to validate the two-node RPR.

•Monitor Ethernet traffic and existing routing protocols for at least an hour after the node deletion.

Caution The specific steps in the following procedure are for the topology in the example. Your own steps will vary according to your network design. Do not attempt this procedure without obtaining a detailed plan or method of procedure from an experienced network architect.

Deleting an ML-Series Card from an RPR

To delete an ML-Series card from an RPR, complete the following procedure:

Step 1 Start a Cisco IOS CLI session for the ML-Series card on the first adjacent node. This is Adjacent Node 1 in Figure 14-9.

Step 2 Complete the following Cisco IOS configuration on the ML-Series card in the first adjacent node, beginning in global configuration mode:

a.	Router(config)# interface pos	Enters interface configuration mode for the POS port at the
	interface-number	end of the circuit directly connected to the Delete Node.

b.	Router(config-if)# shutdown	Closes the interface, which initiates the RPR wrap.

Step 3 Start a Cisco IOS CLI session for the ML-Series card in Adjacent Node 2, as shown in Figure 14-9.

Step 4 Complete the following Cisco IOS configuration on the Adjacent Node 2 ML-Series card, beginning in global configuration mode:

a.	Router(config)# interface pos	Enters interface configuration mode for the POS port at the
	interface-number	end of the circuit directly connected to the Delete Node.

b.	Router(config-if)# shutdown	Closes the interface.

Step 5	Log into Adjacent Node 1 with CTC.
Step 6	Double-click the ML-Series card in Adjacent Node 1.

15310-CL, 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. 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.
