Button

Description

 

 

Baseline

Resets the software counters (in that particular CTC client only) temporarily to zero

 

without affecting the actual statistics on the card. From that point on, only counters

 

displaying the change from the temporary baseline are displayed by this CTC client.

 

These new baselined counters are shown only as long as the user displays the

 

Performance window. If the user navigates to another CTC window and comes back

 

to the Performance window, the true actual statistics retained by the card are shown.

 

 

Auto-Refresh

Sets a time interval for the automatic refresh of statistics.

 

 

Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide for definitions of the SONET POS parameters. CTC displays a different set of parameters for high-level data link control (HDLC) and frame-mapped generic framing procedure (GFP-F) framing modes.

Displaying ML-Series Ethernet Statistics in CTC

The Ethernet statistics window lists Ethernet port-level statistics. It is similar in appearance to the POS statistics window with different statistic parameters. The ML-Series Ethernet ports are zero based. Display the CTC card view for the ML-Series card and click the Performance > Ether Ports tabs to display the window. Table 2-2describes the buttons in the EtherPorts window.

Displaying ML-Series Ethernet Ports Provisioning Information on CTC

The Ethernet port provisioning window displays the provisioning status of the Ethernet ports. Click the Provisioning > Ether Ports tabs to display this window. For ML-Series cards, the user must configure ML-Series Ethernet ports and POS ports using the Cisco IOS CLI.

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.
