Chapter 2 CTC Operations on the ML-Series Card

Displaying ML-Series POS Ports Provisioning Information on CTC

The following fields can be provisioned using CTC: Port Name, Pre-Service Alarm Suppression (PSAS), and Soak Time. Click the Port Name field to assign a name to the port. For more information on provisioning these fields, refer to the “Change Card Settings” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Note The port name can also be configured in Cisco IOS. The port name field configured in CTC and the port name configured in Cisco IOS are independent of each other, and will not match unless the same name is used to configure the port name in both CTC and Cisco IOS.

The Provisioning > Ether Ports tab displays the following information:

•Port #—The fixed number identifier for the specific port.

•Port Name—Configurable 12-character alphanumeric identifier for the port.

•Admin State—Configured port state, which is administratively active or inactive. Possible values are UP and DOWN.

•PSAS—A check indicates alarm suppression is set on the port for the time designated in the Soak Time column.

•Soak Time—Desired soak time in hours and minutes. Use this column when you have checked PSAS to suppress alarms. Once the port detects a signal, the countdown begins for the designated soak time. Soak time hours can be set from 0 to 48. Soak time minutes can be set from 0 to 45 in 15 minute increments.

•Link State—Status between signaling points at port and attached device. Possible values are UP and DOWN.

•Operating Speed—ML-100T-8 possible values are Auto, 10Mbps, or 100Mbps.

•Operating Duplex—Setting of the port. ML-100T-8 possible values are Auto, Full, or Half.

•Flow Control—Negotiated flow control mode. ML-100T-8 possible values are None or Symmetrical.

Note Auto indicates the port is set to autonegotiate capabilities with the attached link partner.

CTC

The POS ports provisioning window displays the provisioning status of the card’s POS ports. Click the Provisioning > POS Ports tabs to display this window. For ML-Series cards, the user must configure ML-Series Ethernet ports and POS ports using the Cisco IOS CLI.

The following fields can be provisioned using CTC: Port Name, PSAS, and Soak Time. Click in the Port Name field to assign a name to the port. For more information on provisioning these fields, refer to the “Change Card Settings” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Note The port name can also be configured in Cisco IOS. The port name field configured in CTC and the port name configured in Cisco IOS are independent of each other and will not match unless the same name is used to configure the port name in both CTC and Cisco IOS.

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.
