Network Element Defaults

Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literatur e. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological n etwork configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any parti cular topological network configuration.
This appendix describes the factory-configured (default) network element (NE) settings for the
Cisco ONS 15454. It includes descriptions of card, node, and Cisco Transport Controll er (CTC) default
settings. To import, export, or edit the settings, refer to the “Maintain the Node” chapter of the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide. Cards supported by this platform that are not listed in this appendix
are not supported by user-configurable NE defaults settings.
To change card settings individually (that is, without directly changing the NE d efaults), refer to the
“Change Card Settings” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide. To change node settings,
refer to the “Change Node Settings” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.
This appendix includes the following sections:

C.2 Card Default Settings, page C-2
C.3 Node Default Settings, page C-99
C.4 CTC Default Settings, page C-120

C.1 Network Element Defaults Description

The NE defaults are preinstalled on each Cisco ONS 15454 Advanced Timing, Communications, and
Control (TCC2) and Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control Plus (TCC2P) card. Cisco also
ships a file named 15454-defaults.txt on the CTC software CD in case you want to import the defaults
onto existing TCC2/TCC2P cards. The NE defaults include card-level, CTC, and node-level defaults.
Changes to card provisioning that are made manually using the p rocedures in the “Change Card
Settings” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide override default settings. If you use the CTC
Defaults editor (on the node view Provisioning > Defaults tab) or import a new defaults file, any changes
to card or port settings that result only affect cards that are installed or preprovisioned after the defaults
have changed.
