Determine and Change a Network Element's IP Address Using the Craft Interface (Cisco ONS 15454 and 15327)

Introduction

This document describes how to retrieve the IP address of a network element (NE). For this, you must use a serial cable and connect to the RS232 craft interface of a Timing Communications and Control (TCC) card or Cross-Connect, Timing, and Control (XTC) card with a laptop.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

• Cisco ONS 15454

• Cisco ONS 15327

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

Procedure

Complete these steps:

1. Connect a serial cable to the RS232 craft interface of the active TCC or XTC.

2. Start Hyperterminal. In order to do so, select Start>Programs>Accessories>Communications>Hyperterminal on your desktop.

3. Set up the Hyperterminal with these details (on the basis of the instructions in the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15327 documentation):

   • Terminal emulation = vt100

   • Bits per second = 9600

   • Parity = None

   • Stop BITS = 1

   • Flow control = None

   • Press ENTER. An angle bracket prompt (>) appears.

4. If nothing appears when you type : in the Hyperterminal window, select File>Properties>Settings>ASCII Setup from your desktop.

   Check the Echo Typed Characters Locally check box under ASCII Sending.

   If every character typed appears twice, remove the check mark.

Sample Output

Here is a sample output of this procedure performed on a Cisco ONS 15327:
