Change Node Settings
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This chapter explains how to modify node provisioning for the Cisco ONS 15454. To provision a new node, see Chapter 4, "Turn Up Node." To change default network element settings and to view a list of those settings, see Appendix C, "Network Element Defaults."

Step 5 If you need to verify timing after removing a node from a BLSR or path protection configuration, see the "DLP-A195 Verify Timing in a Reduced Ring" task on page 14-13.
Step 6 Complete the "NTP-A108 Back Up the Database" procedure on page 15-8.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.

Caution
The following procedure may be service affecting and should be performed during a scheduled maintenance window.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Timing tabs.
Step 2 In the General Timing section, change any of the following information:
•Timing Mode
Note Because mixed timing can cause timing loops, Cisco does not recommend using the Mixed Timing option. Use this mode with care.
•SSM Message Set
•Quality of RES
•Revertive
•Revertive Time
See the "DLP-A69 Set Up External or Line Timing" task on page 4-22 for field descriptions.
Step 3 In the BITS Facilities section, you can change the following information:
Note The BITS Facilities section sets the parameters for your BITS1 and BITS2 timing references. Many of these settings are determined by the timing source manufacturer. If equipment is timed through BITS Out, you can set timing parameters to meet the requirements of the equipment.
•State
•Coding
•Framing
•Sync Messaging
•AIS Threshold
•LBO
Step 4 Under Reference Lists, you can change the following information:
Note Reference lists define up to three timing references for the node and up to six BITS Out references. BITS Out references define the timing references used by equipment that can be attached to the node's BITS Out pins on the backplane. If you attach equipment to BITS Out pins, you normally attach it to a node with Line mode because equipment near the external timing reference can be directly wired to the reference.
•NE Reference
•BITS 1 Out/BITS 2 Out
Step 5 Click Apply. Confirm that the changes appear.
Note If the changes do not appear, repeat the task. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide.

Step 3 Type the SNMP community name in the Community Name field.
Note The community name is a form of authentication and access control. The community name assigned to the ONS 15454 is case-sensitive and must match the community name of the network management system.
Note The default UDP port for SNMP is 162.
Step 4 Set the Trap Version field for either SNMPv1 or SNMPv2.
Refer to your NMS documentation to determine whether to use SNMP v1 or v2.
Step 5 Set your maximum traps per second in the Max Traps per Second field.
Note The Max Traps per Second is the maximum number of traps per second that will be sent to the SNMP manager. If the field is set to 0, there is no maximum and all traps are sent.
Step 6 If you want to allow the ONS 15454 SNMP agent to accept SNMP SET requests on certain MIBs, check the Allow SNMP Sets check box. If the box is not checked, SET requests are rejected.
Step 7 Click Apply.
Step 8 SNMP settings are now configured. To view SNMP information for each node, highlight the node IP address in the Trap Destinations area of the Trap Destinations screen (Figure 10-2). Confirm that the changes appear.
