Onsite or remote

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Note You can provision SONET CCAT or VCAT circuits for the CE-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 before or after provisioning the card’s Ethernet ports and/or 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-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 card graphic to open the card. Step 2 Click the Provisioning > POS Ports tabs.

Step 3 For each CE-100T-8 or CE-1000-4 port, provision the following parameters:

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

•Admin State—Choose IS to put the port in service.

•Framing Type—Choose GPF-FPOS framing (the default) or HDLC POS framing. The framing type needs to match the framing type of the POS device at the end of the SONET circuit.

•Encap CRC—With GFP-F framing, the user can configure a 32-bitcyclic redundancy check (CRC) (the default) or none (no CRC). HDLC framing provides a set 32-bit CRC. The CRC should be set to match the CRC of the POS device on the end of the SONET circuit.

Note For more details about the interoperabilty of Optical Networking System (ONS) Ethernet cards, including information on encapsulation, framing, and CRC, refer to the “POS on ONS Ethernet Cards” chapter of the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.

Note The CE-100T-8 and CE-1000-4 cards use LEX encapsulation, which is the primary POS encapsulation used in ONS Ethernet cards.

Step 4 Click Apply.

Step 5 Refresh the POS statistics:

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

b.Click Refresh.

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.
