New Features and Functionality
DCC Tunnels
SONET provides four data communications channels (DCCs) for network element operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning: one on the SONET Section layer and three on the SONET Line layer. With Release 3.3 the ONS 15327 uses the Section DCC (SDCC) for ONS 15327 management and provisioning. You can use the Line DCCs (LDCCs) and the SDCC (when the SDCC is not used for ONS 15327 DCC terminations) to tunnel
A DCC tunnel is a series of connection points that map
The ONS 15327
For details on DCC tunnels you can create on the ONS 15327 and instructions on how to create them, consult the Cisco ONS 15327 User Documentation, Release 3.3.
Port Naming
Release 3.3 provides the ability to store a name with each ONS 15327 traffic card port.
•Node and network alarm and history panels: when an alarm affects a named port, or a circuit that traverses a named port, the port name is displayed in the alarm.
•Circuit creation: if a port is named, CTC displays the port name and port number.
•Node and network circuit list: if either or both circuit end points are named, CTC displays the port name and port number.
•Node provisioning: if any port is named, CTC displays the port name and the port number (panes affected include line and threshold).
•Node maintenance: if any port is named, CTC displays the port name and the port number (loopback).
•Node performance data: if any port is named, CTC displays the port name and port number.
Search for Circuit by Name
Release 3.3 allows you to search for circuits by circuit name, or by a substring included in the circuit name. The substring search allows you to jump down an alphabetically sorted list of circuits to those beginning with a particular letter. Enter the circuit name (or a substring included in the name) in the Circuit Name Search dialog box and click “Find Next.” You can search up or down the list of circuits. The search tool selects the circuit bearing the name you type. Once you have found the circuit, you can open it by
