Chapter 7 Circuits and Tunnels

7.13.2 Roll Status

Manual—You must complete a manual roll after a valid signal is received. One-way destination rolls are always manual.

Roll Path—The fixed point of the roll object.

Roll From Path— The old path that is being rerouted.

Roll To Path—The new path where the Roll From Path is rerouted.

Complete—Completes a manual roll after a valid signal is received. You can complete a manual roll if it is in a ROLL_PENDING status and you have not yet completed the roll or have not cancelled its sibling roll.

Force Valid Signal—Forces a roll onto the Roll To Circuit destination without a valid signal. If you choose Force Valid Signal, traffic on the circuit that is involved in the roll will be dropped once the roll is completed.

Finish—Completes the circuit processing of both manual and automatic rolls and changes the circuit status from ROLL_PENDING to DISCOVERED. After a roll, the Finish button also removes any cross-connects that are no longer used from the Roll From Circuit field.

Cancel—Cancels the roll process. When the roll mode is Manual, cancel roll is only allowed before you click the Complete button. When the roll mode is Auto, cancel roll is only allowed before a good signal is detected by the node or before you click the Force Valid Signal button.

7.13.2Roll Status

Table 7-9lists the roll statuses. You can only reroute circuits that have a DISCOVERED status. (See Table 7-2 on page 7-6for a list of circuit statuses.) You cannot reroute circuits that are in the ROLL_PENDING status.

Table 7-9

Roll Statuses

 

 

 

 

State

 

Description

 

 

ROLL_PENDING

The roll is awaiting completion or cancellation.

 

 

ROLL_COMPLETED

The roll is complete. Click the Finish button.

 

 

ROLL_CANCELLED

The roll has been canceled.

 

 

 

TL1_ROLL

 

A TL1 roll was initiated.

 

 

Note If a roll is created using TL1, a CTC user

 

 

cannot complete or cancel the roll. Also, if a

 

 

roll is created using CTC, a TL1 user cannot

 

 

complete or cancel the roll. You must use the

 

 

same interface to complete or change a roll.

 

 

 

INCOMPLETE

 

This state appears when the underlying circuit

 

 

becomes incomplete. To correct this state, you must

 

 

fix the underlying circuit problem before the roll

 

 

state will change.

 

 

For example, a circuit traveling on Nodes A, B, and

 

 

C can become INCOMPLETE if Node B is rebooted.

 

 

The cross connect information is lost on Node B

 

 

during a reboot. The Roll State on Nodes A and C

 

 

will change to INCOMPLETE.

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.
