the Options area complete the following:
-
C-band
rules—The C-band options appear in the following format: 80Ch. 50 GHz +1dBm.
The channels available are 96, 80, 72, 64, 48, 40, 32, 20, 16, or 8; the
reference per channel power options available are -1 dBm, +1 dBm, 2 dBm, -2
dBm, +4 dBm, 5 dBm, 7 dBm and 8 dBm; and the spacing options available are 100
GHz or 50 GHz. You can use even wavelengths for the following channel designs:
– 80 (40
even wavelengths + 40 odd wavelengths)
– 72 (40
even wavelengths + 32 odd wavelengths)
– 64 (32
even wavelengths + 32 odd wavelengths)
Note
|
L-band Expand is also supported in the 50 GHz even wavelengths design.
|
Note
|
For
the HYBRID 15454 ONS configuration, 32 channels is the default value. The
channels available are 8, 16, 20, 32, and 40.
|
-
L-band
Rules— The L-band options appear in the following format: 32 Ch. 100 Ghz +5dBm.
The options available are: None, Expand, and channels available are 32; the
reference per channel power available are 2 dBm and 5 dBm; and, the spacing
options available is 100 GHz.
Note
|
L-band is not applicable for the HYBRID 15454 ONS and NG-DWDM configurations.
|
Note
|
If
you use a Line+ or Multidegree site, you must select design rules based on 100
GHz channel spacing, and in the case of Line+, you must also select 32-channel
rules. If these conditions are not met, Cisco Transport Planner will provide an
error message when you attempt to analyze the network. See Table 4-2 and Table
4-3 for additional details on site design rules.
|
Spectral Density—You can choose the option spectral density, when SSON is enabled for the sites. You can choose the value
from 50 to 91.
For SSON enabled networks, C-Band options set as Flexgrid.
|
Step 19
|
Click
Next.
The Site
Management area appears.
|
Step 20
|
In the Site
Management area, complete the following.
-
Shelf
Management—Choose one of the shelf management configurations:
–
Auto—External switch is placed if node controller is M12. If M6 is the node
controller, the external switch is placed only if it is required.
– Multi
Shelf Integrated Switch—All the Multi Service Transport Platform (MSTP) optical
cards (optical add/drop multiplexers [OADMs] and amplifiers) reside in
different shelves connected by a LAN. The LAN is implemented with switches
connected to the MSTP shelves. For this option, the Multi Shelf Integrated
Switch Cards (MS-ISC) are used to support the multishelf configuration.
– Multi
Shelf External Switch—All the MSTP optical cards (OADMs and amplifiers) reside
in different shelves connected by a LAN. The LAN is implemented with switches
external to the MSTP shelves (Cisco Catalyst 2950). For this option, two
external Ethernet switch units (Cisco Catalyst 2950 and Cisco Catalyst 3650)
are used to support the multishelf configuration. The Cisco Catalyst 2950
supports 12 subtending shelves and Cisco Catalyst 3650 supports 24 subtending
shelves. CTP supports a maximum of 50 shelves, including the node controller
shelf, in a multishelf configuration when the TNC, TNCE, TSC, TSCE, or TCC3
card is used as the node controller. CTP supports a maximum of 5 shelves,
including the node controller shelf, in a multishelf configuration when TCC2P
card is used as the node controller.
Note
|
When
the Multi Shelf External Switch is forced, the Multi Shelf External switch is
placed in the layout irrespective of the node controller.
|
Note
|
The
M6 chassis, when used as node controller with Integrated Switch, can support
three subtended shelves. The subtended M6 chassis can subtend two more shelves.
|
–
Individual Shelf—All the MSTP optical cards (OADMs and amplifiers) reside in
the same shelf. For this option, the multishelf management is not supported;
every shelf is managed as an independent shelf.
Note
|
Shelf Management is disabled for HYBRID 15454 ONS configuration.
|
Note
|
If
you select the Shelf Management type as Multi Shelf Integrated Switch or Multi
Shelf External Switch, you can modify the MSM Shelf ID for Multi Shelf
Management Configuration. To modify the MSM Shelf ID, refer
Viewing the Layout of Single Site.
|
-
Node
Protection—Choose Same Shelf
(single shelf configurations) or
Separated Shelves
(multishelf configurations). Same Shelf
configuration places all the OADM/ROADM units in a single shelf, and does not
provide any protection at the shelf level in the node. Separated Shelves places
OADM/ROADM units (west-facing and east-facing) in separate shelves in the node
and it is selectable only if Multishelf management is selected. You can also
set node protection for a multidegree node.
Note
|
Node
protection is disabled for HYBRID 15454 ONS configuration with an auto-selected
value of Same Shelf.
|
-
Hybrid
Site Config—Check to create all the nodes configured as hybrid MSTP/Multi
Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP) nodes. Hybrid Node is only available if
you chose Individual Shelf as the Shelf Management type.
-
OSMINE
Compliant—Check this option to place the DWDM units in the shelves according to
Operations Systems Modifications for Integration of Network Elements (OSMINE)
placement rules.
-
DCC
Chain—Check to put a TXP(P)_MR_2.5G card in slot 12 on each shelf of each site
to use DCC.
-
Max
Shelves per Rack—Choose the maximum number (from 1 to 4) of ANSI or ETSI
shelves (equipping optical cards or TXP/MXP cards) that can be placed in each
rack in the site when generating the layout of the site.
-
Installation w/o CTP—Check this box to design a network that
does not require the setup of configuration files (thresholds and setpoints).
Installation without Cisco Transport Planner is also known automatic node turn
up. When this feature is enabled, the software in the node will configure
itself with parameters; XML configuration files are not required to configure
the node. When this option is selected at the end of EDFA and DCU placement,
Cisco Transport Planner will analyze the resulting network and verify that in
each node, where the option installation w/o Cisco Transport Planner is
enabled, has:
– A
preamplifier in each direction.
– All
amplifiers working in gain control mode.
– A flat
node output spectrum, that is, the resulting channel tilt at the exit of the
node is 0.
– A
feasible set point forced during simulation.
-
Use
Payg—Check this check box to enable the Pay As You Grow feature on all the
sites created in the current network. For more information about the Pay As You
Grow feature, see the
Understanding the Pay As You Grow Feature.
-
Enable
NCS—Check this check box to enable NCS feature on all the sites created in the
current network. The existing MSTP PIDs are replaced with new NCS PIDs. The NCS

-
Connection Verification—Validates the correct optical interconnection between
the optical cards inside a Flex ROADM. This feature also measures the insertion
loss of the external passive path, validates the quality of the connections to
the patch panel, and checks if the insertion loss is within expected value.
The
SMR-20 FS CV cards provide the connection verification feature along with the
passive modules MF-DEG-5-CV, MF-UPG-4-CV, and MF-M16LC-CV. For more
information, see the
Connection Verification.

Step 21
|
Click
Next.The Span Parameters area appears.
|
Step 22
|
In the Span
Parameters area, complete the following.
-
Span
Label Tag—Enter the desired span label.
-
Span
Fiber Type—Choose the fiber type for each span in the network.
-
Span
Length—Enter the span length. The displayed unit of measure is retrieved from
the Span Measurements Units field.
-
EOL
Ageing Factor—Enter the number to use when factoring fiber aging. This factor
is multiplied by the SOL total span loss without connectors.
-
EOL
Ageing loss [dB]—Enter the EOL aging loss value. The EOL loss-per-span value is
added at the end of life to each discrete fiber in the network (for example, to
add an EOL margin for splicing).
Note
|
Enter a
value in either EOL Ageing Factor or EOL Ageing loss; you do not need to enter
a value in both fields. Use one of the following formulas to calculate the
fiber loss at SOL: SOL = km * dB/km + (2 * connector loss)SOL = user entered
loss + (2 * connector loss)Use one of the following formulas to calculate the
fiber loss at EOL:EOL = km * dB/km * EOL Aging Factor + (2 * connector loss) +
EOL Aging LossEOL = user entered loss * EOL Aging Factor + (2 * connector loss)
+ EOL Aging Loss
|
-
Connector
loss [dB]—Enter the concentrated loss at the end of the span.
-
CD factor
[ps/mn/km]—Enter the fiber chromatic dispersion (CD) factor. The default value
is dependent on the selected fiber type. Any value that you enter in this field
is lost whenever you change the fiber type. Chromatic dispersion is always
entered in ps/nm/km. Fiber chromatic dispersion is defined for the middle of
the wavelength band. C-band is defined at 1545.3 nm and L-band is defined at
1590.4 nm.
-
PMD
factor [ps/sqrt(km)]—Enter the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) factor. The
default value is dependent on the selected fiber type. Any value that you enter
in this field is lost whenever you change the fiber type. PMD is always entered
per kilometer.
-
Length
Based Loss—If this check box is checked, the fiber loss is determined by
multiplying the Span Length with the Loss Factor. If this check box is
unchecked, you must enter the total span loss value for the Tot SOL Loss w/o
Connectors property.
-
Loss
factor [dB/km]—Enter the value of the SOL fiber loss per kilometer that is used
to calculate the loss of each span in the network. The fiber loss factor is
always entered in dB/km.
-
Tot SOL
Loss w/o Connectors—Enter the start of life fiber loss value for each span,
excluding the connector concentrated loss.This property is disabled if the
Length Based Loss check box is checked.
-
DCN
extension—Check this check box to use DCN extensions on each of the spans in
the network. This implies that the OSC channel is not used to connect the two
nodes. All nodes facing a span with the DCN Extension option enabled require a
ITU-T G.709 generic communications channel (GCC) access that must be provided
by the customer.
Note
|
For
HYBRID 15454 ONS configuration, this option is disabled by default.
|
-
OSC Frame
Type—Choose the OSC frame type. The options available are Auto, OC3 Frame, GE
Frame, and FE Frame. The default option is Auto. When set in Auto, CTP will use
FE Frame as the preferred frame type.
Note
|
- CTP does not allow
connecting different types of frames through a pass-through site.
- CTP does not allow
removing a node if different frame types are used in the node.
|
|
Step 23
|
Click
Finish. CTP checks the validity of the fiber factor
values. If the fiber factor values are within the valid range (see the
following table), CTP creates a visual representation of the network. If the
values are out of range, CTP issues a warning, asking you to confirm the input
values.
Note
|
All
options set by the Network Creation wizard can be changed as needed per site
and per span.
