NTP-E149 Delete Pluggable Port Modules

Purpose

This procedure deletes PPM provisioning for SFPs on the ASAP card.

Tools/Equipment

None

Prerequisite Procedures

NTP-E157 Provision a Multirate PPM, page 11-2

Required/As Needed

As needed

Onsite/Remote

Onsite or remote

Security Level

Provisioning or higher

Step 1 Complete the “DLP-E26 Log into CTC” task on page 16-39to log into an ONS 15600 on the network. Step 2 Click the Alarms tab:

a.Verify that the alarm filter is not turned on. See the “DLP-E157 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on page 17-50as necessary.

b.Verify that no unexplained conditions appear on the network. If unexplained conditions appear, resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SONET Troubleshooting Guide.

c.Complete the “DLP-E76 Export CTC Data” task on page 16-98to export alarm and condition information.

Step 3 You cannot delete a port on a PPM: if it is in service, part of a protection group, has a communications channel termination in use, is used as a timing source, has circuits, or has overhead circuits. As needed, complete the following procedures and task:

NTP-E61 Modify or Delete Optical 1+1 Port Protection Settings, page 10-4

NTP-E62 Change Node Timing, page 10-4

NTP-E128 Modify or Delete Communications Channel Terminations and Provisionable Patchcords, page 10-7

NTP-E52 Modify and Delete Circuits, page 9-2

NTP-E134 Modify and Delete Overhead Circuits, page 9-3

DLP-E115 Change the Service State for a Port, page 17-14

Step 4 In node view, double-click the ASAP card where you want to delete PPM settings.

Step 5 Click the Provisioning > Pluggable Port Modules tabs.

Step 6 To delete a PPM and the associated ports:

a.Click the PPM line that appears in the Pluggable Port Modules pane. The highlight changes to dark blue.

b.Click Delete. The Delete PPM dialog box appears.

c.Click Yes. The PPM provisioning is removed from the Pluggable Port Modules pane and the Pluggable Ports pane.

Step 7 Verify that the PPM provisioning is deleted:

If the PPM was pre-provisioned, CTC shows an empty slot in CTC after it is deleted.

If the SFP or 4PIO is physically present when you delete the PPM provisioning, CTC transitions to the deleted state, the ports (if any) are deleted, and the PPM is represented as a gray graphic in CTC. The SFP or 4PIO can be provisioned again in CTC, or the equipment can be removed, in which case the removal causes the graphic to disappear.

ONS 15600 specifications

Cisco Systems ONS 15600 is a highly versatile optical networking platform designed to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data services. This multiservice edge platform supports various transmission mediums and offers a wide array of features that enable efficient data transport. Ideal for service providers and large enterprises, the ONS 15600 is engineered to provide scalable and reliable optical transport solutions.

One of the notable features of the ONS 15600 is its capability to support multiple protocols, including SONET/SDH, Ethernet, OTN, and legacy TDM services. This flexibility allows users to tailor their networks according to specific service requirements while ensuring interoperability with existing infrastructure. The platform is designed to facilitate seamless service migration, accommodating both legacy and next-generation services.

The modular architecture of the ONS 15600 enhances its scalability. It allows for easy expansion by incorporating additional line cards or interface modules without requiring significant downtime. This modularity ensures that service providers can evolve their networks over time, responding to increasing bandwidth demands and new service offerings with ease.

Incorporating advanced technologies, the ONS 15600 employs Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), significantly increasing the capacity of fiber networks by allowing multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single optical fiber. This capability helps to optimize fiber utilization and reduce operational costs. In addition, the platform supports Optical Transport Network (OTN) for improved error detection and correction, contributing to higher reliability and performance.

Another key characteristic of the ONS 15600 is its robust management capabilities. The platform can be managed through Cisco's Optical Networking Manager (ONM), providing a centralized interface for network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. This enhances operational efficiency and minimizes downtime, allowing service providers to focus on delivering quality services to their customers.

The ONS 15600 also prioritizes security, offering various features like encryption and access control to safeguard sensitive data during transmission. With its combination of scalability, flexibility, and security, the Cisco ONS 15600 stands out as a reliable choice for organizations looking to enhance their optical networking capabilities while meeting the evolving demands of the digital landscape. Its commitment to quality and performance makes it a cornerstone of modern optical networks.
