Step6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-F397 Provision the Designated SOCKS Servers
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 page16-34
choosing the Disable Network Discovery option. Complete this task, then login again with network
discovery enabled.
Step1 From the CTC Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Step2 In the Preferences dialog box, click the SOCKS tab.
Step3 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.
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.
