DLP-F397 Provision the Designated SOCKS Servers

Purpose	This task identifies the ONS 15600 SDH SOCKS servers in
	SOCKS-proxy-enabled networks. Identifying the SOCKS servers reduces
	the amount of time required to log into a node and have all NEs appear in
	network view (NE discovery time). The task is recommended when the
	combined CTC login and NE discovery time is greater than five minutes in
	networks with SOCKS proxy enabled. Long (or failed) login and NE
	discovery times can occur in networks that have a high ENE-to-GNE ratio
	and a low number of ENEs with LAN connectivity.
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite Procedures	DLP-F181 Log into CTC, page 16-34
Required/As Needed	Required
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Superuser only

Note To complete this task, you must have either the IP addresses or DNS names of all ONS 15454s in the network with LAN access that have SOCKS proxy enabled.

Note	SOCKS proxy servers can be any accessible ONS network nodes that have LAN access, including the
	ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-CL,ONS 15327, ONS 15454, ONS 15454 SDH, ONS 15600, and
	ONS 15600 SDH nodes.
Note	You must repeat this task any time that changes to SOCKS proxy server nodes occur, for example,
	whenever LAN connectivity is added to or removed from a node, or when nodes are added or removed
	from the network.
Note	If you cannot log into a network node, complete the “DLP-F181 Log into CTC” task on page 16-34
	choosing the Disable Network Discovery option. Complete this task, then login again with network
	discovery enabled.
Step 1	From the CTC Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Step 2	In the Preferences dialog box, click the SOCKS tab.
Step 3	In the Designated SOCKS Server field, type the IP address or DNS node name of the first
	ONS 15600 SDH SOCKS server. The ONS 15600 SDH that you enter must have SOCKS proxy server
	enabled, and it must have LAN access.
