About Patch Connections
Example
The following example shows how to display the forward laser control configuration for an interface:
Switch# show interfaces wavepatch 4/0/0
Wavepatch4/0/0 is up, line protocol is up
Receiver power level: -23.91 dBm
Optical threshold monitored for : Receive Power (in dBm)
Low alarm value = -28.0 (default)
Low Alarm Severity = major
Low warning value = -24.0 (default)
Low Warning Severity = not alarmed
High alarm value = -8.0 (default)
High Alarm Severity = major
High warning value = -10.0 (default)
High Warning Severity = not alarmed
Hardware is passive_port
About Patch Connections
Because the OADM modules are passive devices, the Cisco ONS 15530 does not detect its optical patch
connection configuration. For system management purposes, you must also configure the p atch
connection configuration using the CLI.
Table 5 -3 describes the types of patch connections on the Cisco ONS 15530.
For more information on patch connection rules, see the Cisco ONS 15530 Planning and Design Guide.
Table5-3 Patch Connection Types
Patch Connection Description
Thru interface to thru interface Connection between two OADM modules in
different chassis slots.
Wavepatch interface to filter interface or
filter interface to wavepatch interface Connection between the wavepatch on a 10-Gbps
ITU trunk card and the filter interface on an OADM
module.
OSC wave interface to oscfilter interface or
oscfilter interface to OSC wave interface Connection between the OSC wave interface and
the oscfilter interface on the OADM module in the
same chassis slot.
