Chapter 4 Turn Up Node

DLP-D249 Provision IP Settings

•MAC Address—( Display only.) Displays the ONS 15454 SDH IEEE 802 MAC address.

•Net/Subnet Mask Length—Type the subnet mask length (decimal number representing the subnet mask length in bits) or click the arrows to adjust the subnet mask length. The subnet mask length is the same for all ONS 15454 SDH nodes in the same subnet.

•TCC CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port—Provisions the ONS 15454 SDH IIOP listener port. The IIOP listener port enables communication with the ONS 15454 SDH through firewalls. See the “NTP-D27 Set Up the ONS 15454 SDH for Firewall Access” procedure on page 4-19for more information.

•Gateway Settings—Provides three check boxes that enable the ONS 15454 SDH proxy server features. Do not select any of these options until you review the proxy server scenario in the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual. In proxy server networks, the ONS 15454 SDH is either an external network element (ENE), a gateway network element (GNE), or a proxy-only server. Provisioning must be consistent for each NE type.

•Enable proxy server on port—If checked, the ONS 15454 SDH serves as a proxy for connections between CTC clients and ONS 15454 SDHs that are data communications channel (DCC)-connected to the proxy ONS 15454 SDH. The CTC client establishes connections to DCC-connected nodes through the proxy node. The CTC client does not require IP connectivity to the DCC-connected nodes, only to the proxy ONS 15454 SDH. If Enable proxy server on port is off, the node does not proxy for any CTC clients, although any established proxy connections continue until the CTC client exits. When this box is checked, you can set the node as an ENE or a GNE:

–External Network Element (ENE)—If selected, the CTC computer is only visible to the

ONS 15454 SDH to which the CTC computer is connected. The computer is not visible to other DCC-connected nodes. In addition, firewall is enabled, which means that the node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port.

–Gateway Network Element (GNE)—If selected, the CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes. The node prevents IP traffic from being routed between the DCC and the LAN port.

–Proxy-only—If selected, the ONS 15454 SDH responds to CTC requests with a list of DCC-connected nodes for which the node serves as a proxy. The CTC computer is visible to other DCC-connected nodes. The node does not prevent traffic from being routed between the DCC and LAN port.

•Click Apply.

Step 4 Click Yes on the confirmation dialog box.

Both TCC2 cards reboot, one at a time. During this time (approximately 5 minutes), the active and standby TCC2 card LEDs go through the cycle shown in Table 4-1. Eventually, a “Lost node connection, switching to network view” message appears.

Cisco ONS 15454 SDH specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking and telecommunications, and one of its notable products is the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) system. Designed to support a wide range of networking applications, this platform is particularly suited for the transportation of voice, data, and video across metropolitan and wide area networks.

One of the main features of the Cisco ONS 15454 is its modular architecture, allowing for flexible configurations to meet varying demands. This flexibility enables service providers and enterprises to scale their networks as needed, easily adding or removing modules without significant downtime. The system can accommodate multiple technologies, including SONET, SDH, and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), making it an excellent solution for diverse environments.

Another critical characteristic of the ONS 15454 is its high-capacity transport capabilities. It can handle up to 400 Gbps in a single chassis, enabling operators to manage larger amounts of data traffic efficiently. This scaling is crucial for meeting the ever-increasing requirements for bandwidth in modern networks, especially with the rise of cloud services and video streaming.

Furthermore, the Cisco ONS 15454 supports various interface options, including Ethernet, TDM, and fiber channel, enabling operators to adapt the system to their existing infrastructures. This compatibility simplifies integration with legacy systems, allowing for a smoother transition to more advanced technologies.

Cisco has also placed a strong emphasis on network management and operational efficiency with the ONS 15454. Integrated management tools provide real-time monitoring and diagnostics, facilitating proactive maintenance and reducing operational costs. The system is designed for high reliability, featuring built-in redundancy and failover capabilities to ensure continuous service availability.

The ONS 15454's versatility extends to its support for various service types, ranging from basic voice services to complex data applications. It can effectively create service level agreements (SLAs) and prioritize traffic, enhancing the quality of service for critical applications.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH platform stands out for its modular design, high capacity, adaptability to different technologies, and robust management capabilities. It serves as a reliable backbone for network operators seeking to future-proof their infrastructures while addressing the dynamic demands of modern communication services. With Cisco's reputation for quality and innovation, the ONS 15454 remains a preferred choice for service providers looking to enhance their network capabilities.
