Step 3

 

 

Router(config-if)# encapsulation type

Sets the encapsulation type. Valid values are:

 

 

• hdlc—Cisco HDLC

 

 

• lex—(default) LAN extension

 

 

(Cisco-EoS-LEX), special encapsulation for

 

 

use with Cisco ONS Ethernet line cards

 

 

• ppp—Point-to-Point Protocol

 

 

Note Under HDLC framing, the

encapsulation.

Step 4

 

 

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Restarts the shutdown interface.

Step 5

 

 

Router(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

 

 

Router# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves configuration changes to

 

 

NVRAM.

 

 

 

SONET Alarms

The ML-Series cards report SONET alarms under Cisco IOS, CTC, and TL1. A number of path alarms are reported in the Cisco IOS console. Configuring Cisco IOS console alarm reporting has no effect on CTC and TL1 alarm reporting. The “Configuring SONET Alarms” section on page 5-6procedure specifies the alarms reported to the Cisco IOS console.

CTC and TL1 have sophisticated SONET alarm reporting capabilities. The ML-Series card reports Telcordia GR-253 SONET alarms on the Alarms tab of CTC, and in TL1-like other ONS system line cards. For more information about alarms and alarm definitions, refer to the “Alarm Troubleshooting” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.

Configuring SONET Alarms

All SONET alarms are logged on the Cisco IOS CLI by default. But to provision or disable the reporting of SONET alarms on the Cisco IOS CLI, perform the following steps beginning in global configuration mode:

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.
