Chapter 4 Turn Up Node

DLP-D251 Set Up or Change Routing Information Protocol

•Retransmit Int (sec)—Sets the time that will elapse before a packet is resent. Five seconds is the default.

•Dead Int (sec)—Sets the number of seconds that will pass while an OSPF router’s packets are not visible before its neighbors declare the router down. Forty seconds is the default.

c.Click OK.

Step 8 After entering ONS 15454 SDH OSPF area data, click Apply.

If you changed the Area ID, the TCC2 cards reset, one at a time. The reset takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Table 4-1 on page 4-12shows the LED behavior during the TCC2 reset.

Step 9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-D251 Set Up or Change Routing Information Protocol

Purpose

This task enables Routing Information Protocol (RIP) broadcasting on the

 

ONS 15454 SDH. Perform this task if you want to include the

 

ONS 15454 SDH in RIP-enabled networks.

Tools/Equipment

None

Prerequisite Procedures

DLP-D60 Log into CTC, page 3-24

 

You need to create a static route to the router adjacent to the

 

ONS 15454 SDH for the ONS 15454 SDH to communicate its routing

 

information to non-DCC-connected nodes.

Required/As Needed

As needed

Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Network > RIP tabs.

Step 2 Check the RIP Active check box if you are activating RIP.

Step 3 Choose either RIP Version 1 or RIP Version 2 from the drop-down menu, depending on which version is supported in your network.

Step 4 Set the RIP metric. The RIP metric can be set to a number between 1 and 15 and represents the number of hops.

Step 5 By default, RIP is set to No Authentication. If the router that the ONS 15454 SDH is connected to requires authentication, complete the following steps. If not, continue with Step 6.

a.Click the No Authentication button.

b.In the Edit Authentication Key dialog box, complete the following:

•Type— Choose Simple Password.

•Enter Authentication Key—Enter the password.

•Confirm Authentication Key—Enter the same password to confirm it.

c.Click OK.

The authentication button label changes to Simple Password.
