12.4 Routing Table
Table12-7 lists the supp orted card combinations for trunk-to-trunk ports in a patchcord.
Optical ports have the following requirements when used in a provisionable patchcord:
An optical port connected to transponder/muxponder por t or add/drop multiplexer or
multiplexer/demultiplexer port requires an SDCC/LDCC termination.
If the optical port is the protection port in a 1+1 group, the working port must have an SDCC/LDCC
termination provisioned.
If the remote end of a patchcord is Y-cable protected or is an add/drop multiplexer or
multiplexer/demultiplexer port, an optical port requires two patchcords.
Transponder and muxponder ports have the following requirements when used in a p rovisionable
patchcord:
Two patchcords are required when a transponder/muxponder port is connected to an add/drop
multiplexer or multiplexer/demultiplexer port. CTC automatically prompts the user to set up the
second patchcord.
If a patchcord is on a client port in a regenerator group, the other end of the patchcord must be on
the same node and on a port within the same regenerator group.
A patchcord is allowed on a client port only if the card is in transparent mode.
DWDM cards support provisionable patchcords only on optical channel ports. Each DWDM optical
channel port can have only one provisionable patchcord.
Note For TXP, MXP, and DWDM card information, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Installation and
Operations Guide.
12.4 Routing Table
ONS 15454 SDH routing information is displayed on the Maintenance > Routing Table tabs. The routing
table provides the following information:
Destination—Displays the IP address of the destination network or host.
Mask—Displays the subnet mask used to reach the destination host or network.
Gateway—Displays the IP address of the gateway used to reach the destination network or h ost.
Usage—Shows the number of times the listed route has been used.
