2.1.6 Full-Mesh Configuration

In the ONS 15200 full-mesh configuration, all ONS 15252 MCUs communicate with each other.

A single Network Control Board (NCB) module located in one of the ONS 15252 MCUs manages the full-mesh configuration. The NCB modules in the other ONS 15252 MCUs are not used; an NCB front cover replaces them.

In the full-mesh configuration, you can configure SONET or SDH ADM ring protection on the client side of the units. Layer-3 load sharing is supported. To implement client-layer 1+1 APS protection, you must replace each of the units with a pair of units transmitting in opposite directions of the ring. Figure 2-6illustrates the ONS 15200 full-mesh configuration.

Note The physical connection in Figure 2-6consists of two fiber-optic cables.
