Chapter 5 Configuring Interfaces on the ML-Series Card

Monitoring Operations on the Fast Ethernet Interfaces

 

Command

Purpose

Step 3

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# shutdown

Manually shuts down the interface. Encapsulation

 

 

changes on POS ports are allowed only when the

 

 

interface is shut down (ADMIN_DOWN).

Step 4

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# encapsulation type

Sets the encapsulation type. Valid values are:

 

 

• hdlc—Cisco high-level data link control

 

 

(HDLC)

 

 

• lex—(Default) LAN extension, special

 

 

encapsulation for use with Cisco ONS

 

 

Ethernet line cards

 

 

• ppp—Point-to-Point Protocol

 

 

Note Under GFP-F framing, the

 

 

ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA

 

 

ML-Series card is restricted to LEX

 

 

encapsulation.

Step 5

 

 

ML_Series(config-if)# no shutdown

Restarts the shutdown interface.

Step 6

 

 

ML_Series(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 7

 

 

ML_Series# copy running-config

(Optional) Saves configuration changes to

 

startup-config

NVRAM.

 

 

 

Monitoring Operations on the Fast Ethernet Interfaces

To verify the settings after you have configured the interfaces, enter the show interface command. For additional information on monitoring the operations on POS interfaces, see the “Configuring POS on the ML-Series Card” chapter.

Example 5-2shows the output from the show interface command, which displays the status of the interface including port speed and duplex operation.

Example 5-2 show interface Command Output

ML_Series# show interface fastethernet 0

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.
