circuit, if there is not enough existing capacity on any one pool for provisioning the desired circuit. The user can look at the distribution of the existing circuits among the two pools and decide which circuits to delete in order to free up space for the desired circuit.

Port 5 belongs to Pool 2

For example if a user needs to provision an STS-3c or STS-1-3v on the CE-100T-8 card shown in Figure 17-4, an STS-3c or STS-1-3v worth of bandwidth is not available from either of the two pools. The user needs to delete circuits from the same pool to free up bandwidth. If the bandwidth is available but scattered among the pools, the circuit cannot be provisioned.

Looking at the POS Port Map table, the user can determine which circuits belong to which pools. The Pool and Port columns in Figure 17-4show that the circuit on port 5 is drawn from Pool 2, and no other circuits are drawn from Pool 2. Deleting this one circuit will free up an STS-3c or STS-1-3v worth of bandwidth from a single pool.

The POS Port table has a row for each port with three columns (Figure 17-4). They show the port number, the circuit size and type, and the pool it is drawn from. The Pool Utilization table has two columns and shows the pool number, the type of circuits on that pool, how much of the pool’s capacity is being used, and whether additional capacity is available.

ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA, Cisco ONS 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking and telecommunications technology, and among its impressive lineup of products, the Cisco ONS 15310 series stands out as an essential solution for optical networking. This series includes models such as the ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-CL, and ONS 15310-CA, each designed to meet the diverse needs of service providers and enterprises seeking to enhance their optical transport networks.

The Cisco ONS 15310-MA is an advanced multi-service platform designed for metropolitan area networks. It facilitates the seamless transport of data, voice, and video over optical networks. One of its main features is its ability to support a variety of interfaces, including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), allowing users to integrate multiple services into a single platform. Additionally, the ONS 15310-MA supports advanced traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance.

The ONS 15310-CL variant is tailored for more specific applications, providing enhanced capabilities aimed at delivering carrier-grade services. It features a robust architecture that accommodates high-capacity traffic without compromising reliability. This model emphasizes low power consumption and a compact design, making it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments. The ONS 15310-CL also supports a wide range of optical interfaces, making it highly flexible for various network configurations.

In terms of technologies, the Cisco ONS 15310 series leverages Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities, providing high efficiency and greater bandwidth utilization. OTN technology enables efficient error correction and adds resilience to the network through its built-in protection mechanisms. Furthermore, the series supports seamless integration with existing IP/MPLS networks, creating a cohesive infrastructure as organizations evolve their networking requirements.

One of the defining characteristics of the ONS 15310 series is its focus on scalability. Network operators can start with a modest deployment and gradually expand capacity as demand grows. This adaptability is complemented by Cisco's comprehensive management and monitoring tools, providing operators with real-time insights into network performance and facilitating proactive management.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15310-MA and ONS 15310-CL models represent sophisticated solutions for modern optical networks. With their versatile features, advanced technologies, and robust design, they empower service providers and enterprises to build resilient, high-capacity networks that meet the demands of today’s data-driven world.
