Chapter 5 Configuring Interfaces on the ML-Series Card

Basic Fast Ethernet and POS Interface Configuration

 

Command

Purpose

 

 

 

Step 4

ML_Series(config-if)# [no] duplex {full

Sets full duplex, half duplex, or autonegotiate

 

half auto}

mode.

 

 

Step 5

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# flowcontrol send {on

(Optional) Sets the send flow control value for an

 

off desired}

interface. Flow control works only with port-level

 

 

policing. ML-Series card Fast Ethernet port flow

 

 

control is IEEE 802.3x compliant.

Step 6

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# no shutdown

Enables the interface by preventing it from

 

 

shutting down.

Step 7

 

 

ML_Series(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 8

 

 

ML_Series# copy running-config

(Optional) Saves your configuration changes to

 

startup-config

the flash database.

 

 

 

Example 5-1shows how to do the initial configuration of a Fast Ethernet interface with an IP address, autonegotiated speed, and autonegotiated duplex.

Example 5-1 Initial Configuration of a Fast Ethernet Interface

ML_Series(config)# interface fastethernet 1

ML_Series(config-if)#ip address 10.1.2.4 255.0.0.0

ML_Series(config-if)# speed auto

ML_Series(config-if)# duplex auto

ML_Series(config-if)# no shutdown

ML_Series(config-if)# end

ML_Series# copy running-config startup-config

Configuring the POS Interfaces

Encapsulation changes on POS ports are allowed only when the interface is in a manual shutdown (ADMIN_DOWN). For advanced POS interface configuration, see Chapter 6, “Configuring POS on the ML-Series Card.”

Note

The initial state of the ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA ML-Series card POS port is inactive. A POS

 

interface command of no shutdown is required to carry traffic on the SONET circuit.

 

 

 

 

To configure the IP address, bridge group, or encapsulation for the POS interface, perform the following

 

procedure, beginning in global configuration mode:

 

 

 

 

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

ML_Series(config)# interface pos number

Activates interface configuration mode to

 

 

configure the POS interface.

Step 2

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# {ip address

Sets the IP address and subnet mask.

 

ip-address subnet-mask bridge-group

or

 

bridge-group-number}

 

 

Assigns a network interface to a bridge group.

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.
