DLP- F335 Preprovision an SFP
DLP-F335 Preprovision an SFP
Note If you preprovision a multirate SFP, you must next select the line rate using the “DLP-F390 Provision
an Optical Line Rate and Wavelength” task on page18-103.
Step1 Complete the “DLP-F181 Log into CTC” task on page16-34 to log into an ONS 15600 SDH on the
network.
Step2 Click the Alarms tab:
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not turned on. See the “DLP-F288 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on
page 17-78 as necessary.
b. Verify that no unexplained conditions appear on the network. If unexplained conditions appear,
resolve them before continuing. Refer to the CiscoONS 15600 SDH Troubleshooting Guide for
procedures to clear alarms.
c. Complete the “DLP-F379 Export CTC Data” task on page 18-88 to export alarm and condition
information.
Step3 In node view, double-click the ASAP card where you want to provision PPM settings.
Step4 Click the Provisioning > Pluggable Port Modules tabs.
Step5 In the Pluggable Port Modules pane, click Create. The Create PPM dialog box appears.
Step6 In the Create PPM dialog box, complete the following:
•PPM—Click the slot number where you want to preprovision the SFP from the drop-down list.
•PPM Type—Click the number of ports supported by your SFP from the drop-down list. If only one
port is supported, PPM (1 port) is the only option.
Step7 Click OK. The newly created port appears on the Pluggable Port Modules pane. The row on the
Pluggable Port Modules pane turns light blue and the Actual Equipment Type column lists the
preprovisioned PPM as unknown until the actual SFP is installed. After the SFP is installed, the row on
the pane turns white and the column lists the equipment name.
Step8 Verify that the PPM appears in the list on the Pluggable Port Modules pane. If it does not, repeat
Steps 5through 8.
Step9 On the Provisioning tab, click the Line subtab. If applicable for the PPM you are preprovisioning, use
the Reach and Wavele ngth columns to configure these parameters as needed.
Purpose This procedure preprovisions Small Form-factor Pluggables (SFPs), which
are referred to as pluggable port modules (PPMs) in CTC. Cisco-approved
STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, Ethernet, and multirate PPMs are compatible
with the ONS15600 SDH. See the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference
Manual for a list of acceptable SFPs.
