Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Note You can provision SONET contiguous concatenated (CCAT) or virtual concatenated (VCAT) circuits for the CE-1000-4 before or after provisioning the card’s Ethernet ports and/or packet-over-SONET (POS) ports. See the “NTP-A257 Create an Automatically Routed Optical Circuit” procedure on page 6-38or the “NTP-A264 Create an Automatically Routed VCAT Circuit” procedure on page 6-82, as needed.

Step 1 In node view, double-click the CE-1000-4 card graphic to open the card.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Ether Ports tabs.

Step 3 For each CE-1000-4 port, provision the following parameters:

•Port Name— If you want to label the port, enter the port name.

•Admin State— Select the service state for the port. See the “DLP-A214 Change the Service State for a Port” task on page 19-9for more information.

•Flow Control— Select the flow control for the port. Possible values are None, Symmetrical, and Pass Through.

•Auto Negotiation— Click this check box to enable autonegotiation on the port (default). If you do not want to enable autonegotiation control, uncheck the box.

•MTU— If you want to permit the acceptance of jumbo size Ethernet frames, choose 10004(default). If you do not want to permit jumbo size Ethernet frames, choose 1548.

•Watermark— Select the flow control watermark for the port. To provision the Low Latency flow control watermark, choose Low Latency from the drop-down list. The Flow Ctrl Lo and Flow Ctrl Hi values change. To provision a Custom flow control watermark, choose Custom from the drop-down list. Enter values in the Flow Ctrl Hi and Flow Ctrl Lo columns. The Flow Ctrl Lo value has a valid range from 1 to 510 and the Flow Ctrl Hi value has a valid range from 2 to 511. The Flow Ctrl Lo value must be lower than the Flow Ctrl Hi value.

Step 4 Click Apply.

Step 5 Refresh the Ethernet statistics:

a.Click the Performance > Ether Ports > Statistics tabs.

b.Click Refresh.

Note Reprovisioning an Ethernet port on the CE-1000-4 card does not reset the Ethernet statistics for that port.

Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

ONS 15454 specifications

Cisco Systems ONS 15454 is a versatile optical networking platform designed to enable service providers and enterprises to deploy and manage robust optical networks efficiently. The ONS 15454 serves as a cornerstone in the evolution of transport networks, featuring various technologies that meet the increasing demand for bandwidth and service quality.

One of the standout features of the ONS 15454 is its support for multiple service types, including TDM, Ethernet, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). This capability allows service providers to maximize network resources while delivering a wide range of services, from traditional voice to high-speed data and video.

The ONS 15454 leverages Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, enabling the transmission of multiple data streams over a single optical fiber. This effectively expands the network's capacity without the need for additional infrastructure, a crucial benefit in today's ever-growing data landscape. The system supports a variety of transponder modules, allowing for flexible scaling and seamless upgrades as bandwidth requirements increase.

Scalability is another key characteristic of the ONS 15454. With its modular architecture, it accommodates a range of interfaces and line cards, making it easier to tailor deployments to specific customer needs. This modularity not only facilitates upgrades but also simplifies maintenance, minimizing downtime and operational costs.

The platform also features advanced management capabilities through Cisco's Optical Network Management system. This allows for real-time monitoring, provisioning, and troubleshooting, ensuring network reliability and performance. The intuitive interface and comprehensive reporting tools enable operators to gain insights into network operations, improving decision-making processes.

Furthermore, the ONS 15454 is built to support optical layer protection features, enhancing network resilience. Technologies such as Automatic Protection Switching (APS) and Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) ensure that connectivity is maintained even in the event of a failure, crucial for mission-critical applications.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15454 is a powerful optical networking solution that combines flexibility, scalability, and advanced management features. Its support for various services and technologies positions it as an essential asset for organizations looking to build a future-proof network capable of handling increasing data traffic while maintaining high service standards.
