Appendix C Network Element Defaults

Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Card Default Settings

Note PPM (SFP) slots and ports are unassigned by default. You can optionally use the Defaults editor to change these defaults to automatically assign PPM slots to take a single-port PPM, and to automatically assign PPM port STMN rates. However, use discretion in changing the default PPM port rate in cases where single-rate PPMs might be inserted in a card, since preprovisioned PPM port rates that are applied to a single-rate PPM of the wrong rate will result in a mismatch of equipment and software.

Note For further information about the supported features of each individual card, see Chapter 2, “Card Reference.”For further information about the supported features of Ethernet cards, consult the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.

C.3.2 Threshold Defaults

Threshold default settings define the default cumulative values (thresholds) beyond which a TCA will be raised, making it possible to monitor the network and detect errors early.

Card threshold default settings are provided as follows:

•PM thresholds—(15310E-CTX-K9, E1_21_E3_DS3_3, and E1_63_E3_DS3_3 cards) Applicable to E1, DS3, E3, and STMN ports. Can be expressed in counts or seconds; includes line, electrical, and SDH thresholds.

•Physical Layer thresholds—(15310E-CTX-K9 cards only) Applicable to STMN ports. Expressed in percentages; includes optics thresholds.

Threshold defaults are defined for near end and/or far end, at 15-minute and one-day intervals. Thresholds are further broken down by type, such as Section, Line, VC high-order path, or VC low-order path for PM thresholds, and TCA (warning) or Alarm (for physical thresholds). PM threshold types define the layer to which the threshold applies. Physical threshold types define the level of response expected when the threshold is crossed.

Note For full descriptions of the thresholds you can set for each card, see Chapter 11, “Performance Monitoring.”

Note For additional information regarding PM parameter threshold defaults as defined by Telcordia specifications, refer to Telcordia GR-820-CORE and GR-253-CORE.

C.3.3 Defaults by Card

In the tables that follow, card defaults are defined by the default name, its factory-configured value, and the domain of allowable values that you can assign to it.

Note Some default values, such as certain thresholds, are interdependent. Before changing a value, review the domain for that default and any other related defaults for potential dependencies.

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.
