Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Line tabs on all cards except the G-Series card. For the G-Series card, click the Provisioning > Port tab.
Step 3 In the Admin State column for the target port, choose one of the following from the drop-down list:
•IS—Puts the port in the In-Service and Normal (IS-NR) service state.
•OOS, DSBLD—Puts the port in the Out-of-Service and Management, Disabled (OOS-MA,DSBLD) service state. In this service state, traffic is not passed on the port until the service state is changed to IS-NR; Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT); or Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS).
•OOS, MT—Puts the port in the OOS-MA,MT service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and loopbacks are allowed, but alarm reporting is suppressed. Raised fault conditions, whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command. Use the OOS-MA,MT service state for testing or to suppress alarms temporarily. Change to the IS-NR or OOS-AU,AINS service states when testing is complete.
•IS, AINS—Puts the port in the OOS-AU,AINS service state. In this service state, alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed. After the soak period passes, the port changes to IS-NR. Raised fault conditions, whether their alarms are reported or not, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.
For more information about port service states, refer to the "Administrative and Service States" appendix of the Cisco ONS 15327 Reference Manual.
Step 4 If the port is in loopback (OOS-MA,LPBK & MT) and you set the Admin State to IS, a confirmation window displays indicating that the loopback will be released and that the action could be service affecting. To continue, click Yes.
Step 5 If you set the Admin State to IS,AINS, set the soak period time in the AINS Soak field. This is the amount of time that the port will stay in the OOS-AU,AINS service state after a signal is continuously received. When the soak period elapses, the port changes to the IS-NR service state.
Step 6 Click Apply.
Step 7 As needed, repeat Step 2 through Step 6 for each port.
Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Note Provisioning SD-P or SF-P thresholds in the Circuit Attributes page of the Circuit Creation wizard sets the values only for path protection-protected spans. The circuit source and destination use the node default values of 10E-4 for SD-P and 10E-6 for SF-P for unprotected circuits and for the source and drop of path protection circuits.
Step 1 In the Circuit Attributes page of the Circuit Creation wizard, set the path protection path selectors:
•Provision working go and return on primary path—Check this box to route the working path on one fiber pair and the protect path on a separate fiber pair. This feature only applies to bidirectional path protection circuits.
•Revertive—Check this check box if you want traffic to revert to the working path when the conditions that diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If you do not choose Revertive, traffic remains on the protect path after the switch.
•Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, click the Reversion time field and choose a reversion time from the drop-down list. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. This is the amount of time that will elapse before the traffic reverts to the working path. Traffic can revert when conditions causing the switch are cleared.
•SF threshold—For STS circuits, set the path protection path-level signal failure (SF) bit error rate (BER) thresholds. Unavailable for VT circuits.
•SD threshold—For STS circuits, set the path protection path-level signal degrade (SD) BER thresholds. Unavailable for VT circuits.
•Switch on PDI-P—For STS circuits, check this check box if you want traffic to switch when an STS payload defect indication is received. Unavailable for VT circuits.

Step 1 In node view, double-click the G-Series card graphic to open the card.
Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Port tabs.
Step 3 If you want to label the port, click in the Port Name field and type a port name.
Step 4 Click in the Admin State field and choose a state for the port. See "DLP-B214 Change the Service State for a Port" task for more information.
Step 5 If you want to permit the acceptance of jumbo size Ethernet frames, in the Max. Size field, choose Jumbo. If you do not want to permit jumbo size Ethernet frames, choose 1548.
Note The maximum frame size of 1548 bytes enables the port to accept valid Ethernet frames that use protocols, such as Inter-Switch Link (ISL). ISL adds 30 bytes of overhead and might cause the frame size to exceed the traditional 1518 byte maximum.
Step 6 If you want to change the flow control threshold settings for the card, click in the Watermarks field and select one of the flow control threshold settings:
–Default—Best setting for general use.
–Low Latency—Best for subrate applications, such as voice-over-IP (VoIP) over an STS-1.
–Custom—Allows you to specify an exact buffer size threshold for Flow Ctrl Lo and Flow Ctrl Hi. The flow control high setting is the watermark for sending the "Pause On" frame to the attached Ethernet device; this frame signals the device to temporarily stop transmitting. The flow control low setting is the watermark for sending the "Pause Off" frame, which signals the device to resume transmitting.
Step 7 Check the Auto Negotiation check box to enable autonegotiation on the port (default). If you do not want to enable autonegotiation control, uncheck the box.
Step 8 Click this Flow Control check box to enable flow control on the port (default). If you do not want to enable flow control, uncheck the box.
Step 9 Click in the Payload Type field and select a CRC size to set the G-Series card's LEX encapsulation:
–LEX-FCS-16 is 16-bit (2 byte) CRC.
–LEX-FCS-32 is 32-bit (4 byte) CRC.
Note An Encapsulation Mismatch Path (ENCAP-MISMATCH-P) alarm appears when a point-to-point circuit is created between two Ethernet card ports with incompatible Encapsulation payload types.
Step 10 Click Apply.
Step 11 Refresh the Ethernet statistics:
a. Click the Performance > Statistics tabs.
b. Click the Refresh button.
Note Reprovisioning an Ethernet port on the G-Series card does not reset the Ethernet statistics for that port.

DLP-B229 View Circuits on a Span
Step 1 From the View menu in node view, choose Go to Network View. If you are already in network view, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 Right-click the green line containing the circuits you want to view and choose one of the following:
•Circuits—To view BLSR, path protection, 1+1, or unprotected circuits on the span.
•PCA Circuits—To view circuits routed on a BLSR protected channel. This option does not display if the span you right-clicked is not a BLSR span.
In the Circuits on Span dialog box, you can view the following information for circuits provisioned on the span:
•STS—Displays STSs used by the circuits.
•VT—Displays VTs used by the circuits (VT circuits).
•Path Protection—(path protection span only) If checked, path protection circuits are on the span.
•Circuit—Displays the circuit name.
•Switch State—(path protection span only) Displays the switch state of the circuit, that is, whether any span switches are active. For path protection spans, switch types include: CLEAR (no spans are switched), MANUAL (a Manual switch is active), FORCE (a Force switch is active), and LOCKOUT OF PROTECTION (a span lockout is active).
Note You can perform other procedures from the Circuits on Span dialog box. If the span is in a path protection, you can switch the span traffic. See the "DLP-B197 Initiate a Path Protection Force Switch" task on page 17-83 for instructions. If you want to edit a circuit on the span, double-click the circuit. See the "DLP-B231 Edit a Circuit Name" task or the "DLP-B233 Edit Path Protection Circuit Path Selectors" task for instructions.

Step 1 Click the Circuits tab (in either node or network view).
Step 2 Click the circuit with the state that you want to change.
Note You cannot edit the circuit state if the circuit is routed to nodes with a CTC software release earlier than Release 3.4. These circuits will automatically be in service (IS).
Step 3 From the Tools menu, choose Circuits > Set Circuit State.
Step 4 In the Set Circuit State dialog box, choose the administrative state from the Target Circuit Admin State drop-down list:
•IS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the IS-NR service state.
•OOS,DSBLD—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
•IS,AINS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-AU,AINS service state. When the connections receive a valid signal, the cross-connect service states automatically change to IS-NR.
•OOS,MT—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,MT service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit, but suppresses alarms and conditions. Use the OOS,MT administrative state for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the administrative state to IS, OOS, or IS,AINS when testing is complete.
Note Alternatively, you can choose the circuit on the Circuits tab, click the Edit button, then click the State tab in the Edit Circuits window.
For additional information about circuit service states, refer to the "Circuits and Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15327 Reference Manual.
Step 5 If you want to apply the state to the circuit source and destination ports, check the Apply to drop ports check box.
Step 6 Click Apply.
Step 7 If a confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes to continue. If the Circuit State Transitions dialog box appears, view the results and click OK.
CTC will not change the service state of the circuit source and destination port in certain circumstances. For example, if a port is in loopback (OOS-MA,LPBK & MT), CTC will not change the port to IS-NR. In another example, if the circuit size is smaller than the port, such as a VT1.5 circuit on an STS port, CTC will not change the port service state from IS-NR to OOS-MA,DSBLD. If CTC cannot change the port service state, you must change the port service state manually. For more information, see the "DLP-B214 Change the Service State for a Port" task.

Caution All network changes should be approved by your network (or LAN) administrator.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Network > General tabs.
Step 2 Complete the following information in the fields listed:
•IP Address—Type the IP address assigned to the ONS 15327 node.
•Suppress CTC IP Display—Check this check box if you want to prevent the node IP address from being displayed in CTC to users with Provisioning, Maintenance, or Retrieve security levels. (The IP address suppression is not applied to users with Superuser security level.)
•Default Router— If the ONS 15327 is connected to a LAN, enter the IP address of the default router. The default router forwards packets to network devices that the ONS 15327 cannot directly access. This field is ignored if any of the following are true:
–The ONS 15327 is not connected to a LAN.
–SOCKS proxy server is enabled and the ONS 15327 is provisioned as an ENE.
–OSPF is enabled on both the ONS 15327 and the LAN where the ONS 15327 is connected.
•Forward DHCP Request To—Check this check box to enable DHCP. Also, enter the DHCP server IP address in the Request To field. The check box is unchecked by default. If you will enable any of the gateway settings to implement the ONS 15327 SOCKS proxy server features, leave this field blank.
Note If you enable DHCP, computers connected to an ONS 15327 node can obtain temporary IP addresses from an external DHCP server. The ONS 15327 only forwards DHCP requests; it does not act as a DHCP server.
•MAC Address—(Display only) Displays the ONS 15327 IEEE 802 MAC address.
•Net/Subnet Mask Length—Type the subnet mask length (decimal number representing the subnet mask length in bits) or click the arrows to adjust the subnet mask length. The subnet mask length is the same for all ONS 15327s in the same subnet.
•XTC CORBA (IIOP) Listener Port—Sets the ONS 15327 Internet Inter-Orb Protocol (IIOP) listener port used for communication between the ONS 15327 and CTC computers. This field is generally not changed unless the ONS 15327 resides behind a firewall that requires a different port. See the "NTP-B27 Set Up the ONS 15327 for Firewall Access" procedure on page 3-6 for more information.
•Gateway Settings—Provisions the ONS 15327 SOCKS proxy server features. (SOCKS is a standard proxy protocol for IP-based applications.) Do not change these options until you review the SOCKS proxy server scenario in the "CTC Network Connectivity" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Reference Manual. In SOCKS proxy server networks, the ONS 15327 is either an ENE, a GNE, or a proxy-only server. Provisioning must be consistent for each NE type.
•Enable SOCKS proxy server on port—If checked, the ONS 15327 serves as a proxy for connections between CTC clients and ONS 15327s that are connected by DCCs to the proxy ONS 15327. The CTC client establishes connections to DCC-connected nodes through the proxy node. The CTC client does not require IP connectivity to the DCC-connected nodes, only to the proxy ONS 15327. If Enable SOCKS proxy server on port is off, the node does not proxy for any CTC clients. When this box is checked, you can provision one of the following options:
–External Network Element (ENE)—Choose this option when the ONS 15327 is not connected to a LAN but has DCC connections to other ONS nodes. A CTC computer connected to the ENE through the XTC CRAFT or LAN port can manage nodes that have DCC connections to the ENE. However, the CTC computer does not have direct IP connectivity to these nodes or to any LAN/WAN that those nodes might be connected to.
–Gateway Network Element (GNE)—Choose this option when the ONS 15327 is connected to a LAN and has DCC connections to other nodes. A CTC computer connected to the LAN can manage all nodes that have DCC connections to the GNE, but the CTC computer does not have direct IP connectivity to them. The GNE option isolates the LAN from the DCC network so that IP traffic originating from the DCC-connected nodes and any CTC computers connected to them is prevented from reaching the LAN.
–SOCKS Proxy-Only—Choose this option when the ONS 15327 is connected to a LAN and the LAN is separated from the node by a firewall. The SOCKS Proxy Only is the same as the GNE option, except the SOCKS Proxy Only option does not isolate the DCC network from the LAN.
Step 3 Click Apply.
Step 4 Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
Both XTC cards reboot, one at a time, which takes 10 to 15 minutes. Eventually, a "Lost node connection, switching to network view" message appears.
Step 5 Click OK. The network view appears. The node icon is displayed in gray, during which time you cannot access the node.
Step 6 Double-click the node icon when it becomes green.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Step 1 From node view, click the Provisioning > Network > OSPF tabs.
Step 2 On the top left side of the OSPF tab, complete the following:
•DCC/GCC OSPF Area ID Table—In dotted decimal format, enter the number that identifies the ONS 15327s as a unique OSPF area ID. It can be any number between 000.000.000.000 and 255.255.255.255. The number must be unique to the LAN OSPF area.
•SDCC Metric—This value is normally unchanged. It sets a cost for sending packets across the DCC, which is used by OSPF routers to calculate the shortest path. The default DCC metric is 100.
•LDCC Metric—Sets a cost for sending packets across the Line DCC. This value should always be lower than the Section DCC (SDCC) metric. The default SDCC metric is 33. It is usually not changed.
Step 3 In the OSPF on LAN area, complete the following:
•OSPF active on LAN—When checked, enables the ONS 15327 OSPF topology to be advertised to OSPF routers on the LAN. Enable this field on ONS 15327s that directly connect to OSPF routers.
•LAN Port Area ID—Enter the OSPF area ID (dotted decimal format) for the router port where the ONS 15327 is connected. (This number is different from the DCC OSPF Area ID.)
Step 4 By default, OSPF is set to No Authentication. If the OSPF router requires authentication, complete the following steps. If not, continue with Step 5.
a. Click the No Authentication button.
b. In the Edit Authentication Key dialog box, complete the following:
•Type—Choose Simple Password.
•Enter Authentication Key—Enter the password.
•Confirm Authentication Key—Enter the same password to confirm it.
c. Click OK.
The authentication button label changes to Simple Password.
Step 5 Verify that the OSPF priority and intervals settings match the priority and interval settings used by the OSPF router where the ONS 15327 is connected. If not, change the settings, as needed.
•Router Priority—Selects the designated router for a subnet.
•Hello Interval (sec)—Sets the number of seconds between OSPF hello packet advertisements sent by OSPF routers. Ten seconds is the default.
•Dead Interval—Sets the number of seconds that will pass while an OSPF router's packets are not visible before its neighbors declare the router down. Forty seconds is the default.
•Transit Delay (sec)—Indicates the service speed. One second is the default.
•Retransmit Interval (sec)—Sets the time that will elapse before a packet is resent. Five seconds is the default.
•LAN Metric—Sets a cost for sending packets across the LAN. This value should always be lower than the DCC metric. Ten is the default.
Step 6 Under OSPF Area Range Table, create an area range table if one is needed:
Note Area range tables consolidate the information that is outside an OSPF area border. One ONS 15327 in the ONS 15327 OSPF area is connected to the OSPF router. An area range table on this node points the router to the other nodes that reside within the ONS 15327 OSPF area.
a. Under OSPF Area Range Table, click Create.
b. In the Create Area Range dialog box, enter the following:
•Range Address—Enter the area IP address for the ONS 15327s that reside within the OSPF area. For example, if the ONS 15327 OSPF area includes nodes with IP addresses 10.10.20.100, 10.10.30.150, 10.10.40.200, and 10.10.50.250, the range address would be 10.10.0.0.
•Range Area ID—Enter the OSPF area ID for the ONS 15327s. This is either the ID in the DCC OSPF Area ID field or the ID in the Area ID for LAN Port field.
•Mask Length—Enter the subnet mask length. In the Range Address example, this is 16.
•Advertise—Check if you want to advertise the OSPF range table.
c. Click OK.
Step 7 If the ONS 15327 OSPF area is not physically connected to Area 0, use the following steps to create a virtual link table that will provide the disconnected area with a logical path to Area 0:
a. Under OSPF Virtual Link Table, click Create.
b. In the Create Virtual Link dialog box, complete the following fields (OSPF settings must match OSPF settings for the ONS 15327 OSPF area):
•Neighbor—The router ID of the Area 0 router.
•Transit Delay (sec)—The service speed. One second is the default.
•Hello Int (sec)—The number of seconds between OSPF hello packet advertisements sent by OSPF routers. Ten seconds is the default.
•Auth Type—If the router where the ONS 15327 is connected uses authentication, choose Simple Password. Otherwise, choose No Authentication.
•Retransmit Int (sec)—Sets the time that will elapse before a packet is resent. Five seconds is the default.
•Dead Int (sec)—Sets the number of seconds that will pass while an OSPF router's packets are not visible before its neighbors declare the router down. Forty seconds is the default.
c. Click OK.
Step 8 After entering ONS 15327 OSPF area data, click Apply.
If you changed the Area ID, the XTC cards reset, one at a time. The reset takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Note When SDCC is provisioned, a Line DCC (LDCC) termination is allowed on the same port, but is not recommended. Using SDCC and LDCC on the same port is only needed during a software upgrade if the software version does not support LDCC. You can provision SDCCs and LDCCs on different ports in the same node.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > SDCC tabs.
Step 2 Click Create.
Step 3 In the Create SDCC Terminations dialog box, click the ports where you want to create the SDCC termination. To select more than one port, press the Shift key or the Ctrl key.
Note SDCC refers to the Section DCC, which is used for ONS 15327 DCC terminations. The SONET Line DCCs and the Section DCC (when not used as a DCC termination by the ONS 15327) can be provisioned as DCC tunnels. See the "DLP-B313 Create a DCC Tunnel" task on page 19-6.
Step 4 In the Port State area, click the Set to IS radio button to put the port in service.
Step 5 Verify that the Disable OSPF on DCC Link check box is unchecked.
Step 6 If the SDCC termination is to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the "DLP-B25 Change a Section DCC Termination" task on page 16-23.
Step 7 In the Layer 3 box, perform one of the following:
•Check the IP box only—If the SDCC is between the ONS 15327 and another ONS node and only ONS nodes reside on the network. The SDCC will use Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
•Check the IP and OSI boxes—If the SDCC is between the ONS 15327 and another ONS node and third party NEs that use the OSI protocol stack are on the same network. The SDCC will use PPP.
•Check OSI box only—If the SDCC is between an ONS node and a third party NE that uses the OSI protocol stack. The SDCC will use the LAP-D protocol.
Note If OSI is checked and IP is not checked (LAP-D), no network connections will appear in network view.
Step 8 If you checked OSI, complete the following steps. If you checked IP only, continue with Step 9.
a. Click Next.
b. Provision the following fields:
–Router—Choose the OSI router.
–ESH—Sets the End System Hello (ESH) propagation frequency. End system NEs transmit ESHs to inform other end systems (ESs) and intermediate systems (ISs) about the NSAPs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.
–ISH—Sets the Intermediate System Hello PDU propagation frequency. Intermediate system NEs send ISHs to other ESs and ISs to inform them about the IS NETs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.
–IIH—Sets the Intermediate System to Intermediate System Hello PDU propagation frequency. The IS-IS Hello PDUs establish and maintain adjacencies between ISs. The default is 3 seconds. The range is 1 to 600 seconds.
–Metric—Sets the cost for sending packets on the LAN subnet. The IS-IS protocol uses the cost to calculate the shortest routing path. The default metric cost for LAN subnets is 20. It normally should not be changed.
c. If the OSI and IP boxes are checked, continue with Step 9. If only the OSI is checked, click Next and provision the following fields:
–Mode:
AITS—(Default) Acknowledged Information Transfer Service. Does not exchange data until a logical connection between two LAP-D users is established. This service provides reliable data transfer, flow control, and error control mechanisms.
UITS—Unacknowledged Information Transfer Service. Transfers frames containing user data with no acknowledgement. The service does not guarantee that the data presented by one user will be delivered to another user, nor does it inform the user if the delivery attempt fails. It does not provide any flow control or error control mechanisms.
–Role—Sets the LAP-D frame command/response (C/R) value when Mode is set to AITS. Set to the opposite of the mode of the NE at the other end of the SDCC.
–MTU—Sets the maximum number of octets in a LAP-D information frame. The range is 512 to 1500 octets. The default is 512. You normally should not change it.
–T200— Sets the time between Set Asynchronous Balanced Mode (SABME) frame retransmissions. The default is 0.2 seconds. The range is 0.2 to 20 seconds.
–T203—Provisions the maximum time between frame exchanges, that is, the trigger for transmission of the LAP-D keep-alive Receive Ready (RR) frames. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 4 to 120 seconds.
Step 9 Click Finish.
Note DCC Termination Failure (EOC) and Loss of Signal (LOS) alarms are present until you create all network DCC terminations and put the DCC termination OC-N ports in service.
Note There are four possibilities for the appearance of DCCs: green/solid, green/dashed, gray/solid, and gray/dashed. DCC appearance corresponds to the following states: active/routable, active/nonroutable, failed/routable, and failed/nonroutable. Circuit provisioning uses active/routable links. Selecting a node or span in the graphic area displays information about the node and span in the status area.

If neither port is on a transmit/receive card, you will not be able to complete this task. If one port is on a transmit/receive card and the other is on a receive-only card, you can set up the transmit string at the transmit/receive port and the receive string at the receive-only port, but you will not be able to transmit in both directions.
Step 3 Choose the STS circuit you want to trace, then double-click it (or click Edit).
Step 4 In the Edit Circuit window, check the Show Detailed Map check box at the bottom of the window. A detailed map of the source and destination ports appears.
Step 5 Provision the circuit source transmit string:
a. In the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit source port (the square on the left or right of the source node icon) and choose Edit J1 Path Trace (port) from the shortcut menu.
b. In the New Transmit String field, enter the circuit source transmit string. Enter a string that makes the source port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.
c. Click Apply, then click Close.
Step 6 Provision the circuit destination transmit string:
a. In the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit destination port and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.
b. In the New Transmit String field, enter the string that you want the circuit destination to transmit. Enter a string that makes the destination port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.
c. Click Apply.
Step 7 Provision the circuit destination expected string:
a. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•Auto—The first string received from the source port is the baseline. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
•Manual—The string entered in the Current Expected String is the baseline. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
b. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit destination should receive from the circuit source in the New Expected String field. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Auto, skip this step.
c. Check the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the alarm indication signal (AIS) and remote defect indication (RDI) when the STS Path Trace Identifier Mismatch Path (TIM-P) alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and conditions.
d. (Check box visibility depends on card selection) Check the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check box if you want to suppress the AIS when a C2 mismatch occurs.
e. Click Apply, then click Close.
Note It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the circuit destination expected string; the path trace process automatically determines the format.
Step 8 Provision the circuit source expected string:
a. In the Edit Circuit window (with Show Detailed Map chosen) right-click the circuit source port and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.
b. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other end as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
•Manual—Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
c. If you set Path Trace Mode to Manual, enter the string that the circuit source should receive from the circuit destination in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto, skip this step.
d. Check the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the AIS and RDI when the TIM-P alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and conditions.
e. (Check box visibility depends on card selection) Check the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check box if you want to suppress the AIS when a C2 mismatch occurs.
f. Click Apply.
Note It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the circuit destination expected string; the path trace process automatically determines the format.
Step 9 After you set up the path trace, the received string appears in the Received field on the path trace setup window. Figure 18-12 shows an example. The following options are available:
•Click Hex Mode to display path trace in hexadecimal format. The button name changes to ASCII Mode. Click it to return the path trace to ASCII format.
•Click Reset to reread values from the port.
•Click Default to return to the path trace default settings (Path Trace Mode is set to Off and the New Transmit and New Expected Strings are null).
Caution Clicking Default will generate alarms if the port on the other end is provisioned with a different string.
Note The Expect and Receive strings are updated every few seconds if the Path Trace Mode field is set to Auto or Manual.
Step 10 Click Close.
Figure 18-12 Setting Up a Path Trace
When you display the detailed circuit window, path trace is indicated by an M (manual path trace) or an A (automatic path trace) at the circuit source and destination ports. Figure 18-13 shows an example.

Note If any of the XTC cards reboot during the span upgrade, you must manually reset each one when the span upgrade procedure is complete for all the nodes in the ring. See the "NTP-B113 Reset the XTC Using CTC" procedure on page 14-13 for card reset procedures.
Note To downgrade an optical span, complete this task but choose a lower-rate card in Step 6 and install a lower-rate card in Step 9.
Step 1 Apply a Force switch on the ports that you will upgrade, beginning with the protect port:
a. In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
b. Under Protection Groups, choose the 1+1 protection group.
c. Under Selected Group, choose the protect port (regardless if it is active or standby).
d. From Switch Commands, click Force.
e. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
Note If the switching mode is bidirectional in the 1+1 protection group, apply the Force command to only one end of the span. If the Force command is applied to both ends when the switching mode is bidirectional, a switch of more than 50 ms in duration will result.
Note A Force switch request on a span or card (port) causes CTC to raise a FORCED-REQ condition. It is informational only; the condition will clear when the force switch command is cleared.
Step 2 Repeat Step 1 for each port you will upgrade.
Step 3 Remove the fiber from both ends of the span and ensure that traffic is still running.
Step 4 Remove the OC-N cards from both span endpoints.
Step 5 At one endpoint, in node view, right-click the OC-N slot and choose Change Card.
