Chapter 6 Configuring POS on the ML-Series Card

Configuring the POS Interface

 

Command

Purpose

Step 3

 

 

Router(config-if)# encapsulation type

Sets the encapsulation type. Valid values are:

 

 

• hdlc—Cisco HDLC

 

 

• lex—(default) LAN extension

 

 

(Cisco-EoS-LEX), special encapsulation for

 

 

use with Cisco ONS Ethernet line cards

 

 

• ppp—Point-to-Point Protocol

 

 

Note Under HDLC framing, the

 

 

ONS 15310-CL and ONS 15310-MA

 

 

ML-Series card is restricted to LEX

 

 

encapsulation.

Step 4

 

 

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Restarts the shutdown interface.

Step 5

 

 

Router(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

 

 

Router# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves configuration changes to

 

 

NVRAM.

 

 

 

SONET Alarms

The ML-Series cards report SONET alarms under Cisco IOS, CTC, and TL1. A number of path alarms are reported in the Cisco IOS console. Configuring Cisco IOS console alarm reporting has no effect on CTC and TL1 alarm reporting. The “Configuring SONET Alarms” section on page 6-7procedure specifies the alarms reported to the Cisco IOS console.

CTC and TL1 have sophisticated SONET alarm reporting capabilities. The ML-Series card reports Telcordia GR-253 SONET alarms on the Alarms tab of CTC, and in TL1-like other ONS system line cards. For more information about alarms and alarm definitions, refer to the “Alarm Troubleshooting” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.

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.
