DLP-E115 Change the Service State for a Port

Purpose

This task puts a port in service or removes a port from service.

Tools/Equipment

None

Prerequisite Procedures

DLP-E26 Log into CTC, page 16-33

Required/As Needed

As needed

Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Step 1 In node view, double-click the card with the port(s) you want to put in or out of service. The card view appears.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Line tabs.

Step 3 In the Admin State column for the target port, choose one of the following from the drop-down list:

•IS—Puts the port in the In-Service and Normal (IS-NR) service state.

•OOS, DSBLD—Puts the port in the Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled (OOS-MA,DSBLD) service state. In this service state, traffic is not passed on the port until the service state is changed to IS-NR; Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT); or Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS).

•OOS, MT—Puts the port in the OOS-MA,MT service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and loopbacks are allowed, but alarm reporting is suppressed. Raised fault conditions, whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command. Use the OOS-MA,MT service state for testing or to suppress alarms temporarily. Change to the IS-NR or OOS-AU,AINS service states when testing is complete.

•IS, AINS—Puts the port in the OOS-AU,AINS service state. In this service state, alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed. After the soak period passes, the port changes to IS-NR. Raised fault conditions, whether their alarms are reported or not, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.

Note CTC will not allow you to change a port service state from IS-NR to OOS-MA,DSBLD. You must first change a port to the OOS-MA,MT service state before putting it in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state.

For more information about service states, refer to the “Administrative and Service States” appendix of the Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual.

Step 4 If the port is in loopback (OOS-MA,LPBK & MT) and you set the Admin State to IS, a confirmation window appears indicating that the loopback will be released and that the action could be service affecting. To continue, click Yes.

Step 5 If you set the Admin State to IS,AINS, set the soak period time in the AINS Soak field. This is the amount of time that the port will stay in the OOS-AU,AINS service state after a signal is continuously received. When the soak period elapses, the port changes to the IS-NR service state.

Step 6 Click Apply.

Step 7 As needed, repeat this task for each port.

15600 specifications

Cisco Systems 15600 is a powerful network router designed to meet the growing demands of enterprise and service provider networks. Equipped with advanced features and cutting-edge technology, the 15600 caters to a range of applications, from data centers to branch offices, supporting the evolving landscape of cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT).

One of the standout features of the Cisco 15600 is its scalability. The router is built to handle increasing bandwidth requirements, making it ideal for environments where traffic is expected to grow. It supports a range of interface modules, allowing organizations to tailor their network connectivity according to their specific needs. This modular design not only ensures flexibility but also future-proofs the investment, as additional capacity can be added as network demands increase.

Cisco’s 15600 also incorporates advanced security features, such as built-in firewalls and support for secure VPN connections. This is crucial for businesses that prioritize data protection and need to safeguard their information against cyber threats. The router also supports multiple encryption protocols, allowing organizations to implement robust security measures without sacrificing performance.

With regard to performance, the 15600 offers high throughput rates, which are essential for handling large volumes of traffic efficiently. This enhanced performance is further supported by Cisco's innovative technologies, such as Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) that optimize data processing. Additionally, the router utilizes Cisco’s Intelligent WAN (iWAN) capabilities, which enhance the overall performance and efficiency of WAN connections.

Another key characteristic of the 15600 is its support for software-defined networking (SDN). This enables organizations to automate network management, reduce operational costs, and improve agility in deploying applications. Using Cisco's software solutions, network administrators can manage the router through a centralized interface, simplifying operations and enhancing visibility into network performance.

Furthermore, the Cisco 15600 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. Its architecture minimizes power consumption while maintaining high performance levels, contributing to sustainability goals and reducing operational costs over time.

Overall, the Cisco Systems 15600 router stands out as a robust networking solution, offering unmatched scalability, security, performance, and operational efficiency. As organizations increasingly turn to cloud-based solutions and IoT devices, the capabilities of the 15600 position it as a critical component in modern network infrastructures.
