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

Delete an ML-Series Card from an RPR

The card view appears.

Step 7 Click the Circuits tab.

Step 8 Click the Circuits subtab.

Step 9 Identify the appropriate STS circuit by looking under the source column and destination column for the circuit entry that matches the POS ports at the endpoints of the first circuit to be deleted.

The circuit entry is in node-name/card-slot/port-numberformat, such as Node-1/s12(ML100T)/pPOS-0.

Step 10 Click the circuit entry to highlight it.

Step 11 Click Delete.

A confirmation dialog box appears.

Step 12 Click Yes.

Step 13 Verify that Ethernet connectivity still exists between the Ethernet access ports on Adjacent Node 1 and Adjacent Node 2 by using a test set.

Note The SPR interface and the Ethernet interfaces on the ML-Series card must be in a bridge group in order for RPR traffic to bridge the RPR.

Step 14 Log into Adjacent Node 2 with CTC.

Step 15 Double-click the ML-Series card in Adjacent Node 2.

The card view appears.

Step 16 Click the Circuits tab.

Step 17 Click the Circuits subtab.

Step 18 Identify the appropriate STS circuit by looking under the source column and destination column for the circuit entry that matches the POS ports at the endpoints of the second circuit to be deleted.

The circuit entry is in node-name/card-slot/port-numberformat, such as Node-1/s12(ML100T)/pPOS-0.

Step 19 Click the circuit entry to highlight it.

Step 20 Click Delete.

The confirmation dialog box appears.

Step 21 Click Yes.

Step 22 If the new node will no longer be an active node in the SONET ring topology, delete the node from the ring. Refer to the “Add and Remove Nodes” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 23 If the ML-Series card in the new node is to be deleted in CTC and physically removed, do so now. Refer to the “Install the Cisco ONS 15310-CL” or “Install the Cisco ONS 15310-MA” chapters of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 24 Build an STS circuit with a circuit state of IS from the available POS port on Adjacent Node 1 to the available POS port on Adjacent Node 2, as shown in Figure 14-10. For detailed steps on building the circuit, see “Configuring CTC Circuits for RPR” section on page 14-7.

Note A best practice is to configure SONET circuits in an east-to-west or west-to-east configuration, from Port 0 (east) to Port 1 (west) or Port 1 (east) to Port 0 (west), around the SONET ring.

Step 25 Start or resume a Cisco IOS CLI session for 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.
