Release Notes for Cisco ONS 15454 SDH
Release 8.0
May, 2008
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.
Release notes address closed (maintenance) issues, caveats, and new features for the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH multiplexer. For detailed information regarding features, capabilities, hardware, and software introduced with this release, refer to the "Release 8.0" version of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Installation and Operations Guide; and the "Release 8.0" version of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide; Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual; Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide; and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH and Cisco ONS 15600 SDH TL1 Command Guide.

Changes to the Release Notes
This section documents supplemental changes that have been added to the Release Notes for Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Release 8.0 since the production of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH System Software CD for Release 8.0.
The following changes have been added to the release notes for Release 8.0.
Added the issue of RTRV-FAC TL1 command showing the payload as FSTE instead of GIGE on the ML1000-2 card in the resolved caveats section.
Changes to Caveats
The following caveat has been added to the release notes:
Caveats
Review the notes listed below before deploying the ONS 15454 SDH. Caveats with tracking numbers are known system limitations that are scheduled to be addressed in a subsequent release. Caveats without tracking numbers are provided to point out procedural or situational considerations when deploying the product.
Hardware
CSCed18803
Rarely, the non-enhanced Muxponder unit does not pass Jitter Tolerance test from Trunk port to client port as per ITU-T G.825, 2 Mb/s mask, at the 10 Hz specific setpoint. The Muxponder should be configured with G.709 Off, FEC Off and Trunk signal provided by external Jitter test box, and the unit client port output monitored for errors, to see this issue. This issue will not be resolved. Note, however, that in normal network configurations the muxponder is operated with G.709 and FEC turned on, and the jitter tolerance tests pass.
CSCuk48503
Under specific conditions the non-enhanced MXPD does not pass the Telcordia GR-253/G.825 Jitter generation mask test on 10G TX Trunk port. The 2.5 G TX Client jitter generation is always within mask and does not exhibit this issue. This occurs only when, in SONET mode, there is no FEC, no G.709, and client interfaces are looped back, with non-synchronous clocking, and the jitter testbox TX connected to Trunk RX port, while the jitter testbox RX is connected to the Trunk TX port. The jitter testbox TX clock recovers from RX with an additional 5 ppm offset added. This issue will be resolved in a future hardware release.
CSCea78210
The TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G cards do not support TX Optical power performance monitoring on the trunk port. To see this, go to the Optics Performance Monitoring tab of the TXP_MR_2.5G or TXPP_MR_2.5G card, and select the trunk port. TX Optical Pwr is not shown. This is as designed.
CSCdw92634
SDH DS3-I and E3 electrical cards only support a VC4 J1 trace string setting for all VC4s together. You cannot set the J1 byte for individual VC4s. This issue is a limitation of hardware.
Note
VC3 J1 strings can be set individually, but the optical cards cannot monitor the VC3 J1 string.
CSCdw14501
Interconnection Equipment failure alarms may be generated at 55 degrees C, and 72 volts. When the operating environment is at 55 degrees C and 72 volts, interconnection equipment failure alarms for the following cards can occur:
•
STM16SH
•
STM64LH
•
STM16LH
The alarms could potentially occur on any of these boards, as well: OC48AS, GigE, OC192 or OC192LR. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCse67377
AIS-L Alarm is not visible against EC1 port, if LOS or LOF is injected onto the port. EC1 port is in service and there is no circuit present. This is a hardware limitation which detects AIS-L received from line side, but it cannot raise AIS-L when it receives LOS or LOF from the line.
CSCsi78715
When loss of signal (LOS) occurs on the client side of MXP-MR-2.5G card, the Y-cable protection switch does not occur and drops the traffic. The MXP-MR-2.5G will not report generic framing procedure (GFP) alarms such as client signal fail (CSF) and in case of fiber channel client, the link recovery counter will not be incremented correctly.
Workaround is to manually switch the traffic away from the client experiencing LOS . This will be fixed in a future release.
Upgrades
CSCec42769 Database Corruption with ONS 15454 SDH Release 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.1
CautionBefore you upgrade to Release 7.x from Release 4.0, 4.0.1, or 4.1, you must read this caveat and run the SDH Circuit Repair Utility (VcCheck) provided on the software CD (also available on CCO).
The XCVXL card on the ONS 15454 SDH allows the intermixing of VC12 and VC3 payloads within a single VC4. When a VC4 contains only one VC12 tributary and at least one VC3 tributary and the VC12 is deleted, the database becomes corrupt.
The database load process on the ONS 15454 SDH occurs during a TCC2/TCC2P reboot, TCC2/TCC2P protection switch, software activation, or database restore. When the database is loaded containing this corruption the load process fails, causing the corrupt database to be deleted from the TCC2/TCC2P flash memory. The previous saved database is then loaded instead. When all saved databases on a TCC2/TCC2P contain the corruption, the TCC2/TCC2P will load with the default provisioning, and all existing provisioning will be lost.
If this issue occurs you will see a loss of either some or all provisioning after a TCC2/TCC2P switch or reset.
To ensure that your network is not vulnerable to this issue, you must first determine if the issue already exists within your network, and if so, correct it. You can detect the issue by using the SDH Circuit Repair Utility (VcCheck) provided on the ONS 15454 SDH Release 4.1.3, 4.6.x, 5.x, 6.x, or 7.x software CDs. The VcCheck tool is also available for download from CCO. Once you have alleviated immediate risk from the issue, you must upgrade to Release 7.x, Release 6.x, Release 5.x, Release 4.6.1, or maintenance Release 4.1.3 (or any later release) to avoid further risk.
The VcCheck utility and its associated README file (in the same directory with the tool) provide details on how to temporarily alleviate this issue before upgrading to a release in which the issue is resolved.
This issue is resolved in Releases 4.6 and later, and in maintenance Releases 4.1.3 and later (caveated herein because of the upgrade issue).
Maintenance and Administration
CautionVxWorks is intended for qualified Cisco personnel only. Customer use of VxWorks is not recommended, nor is it supported by Cisco's Technical Assistance Center. Inappropriate use of VxWorks commands can have a negative and service affecting impact on your network. Please consult the troubleshooting guide for your release and platform for appropriate troubleshooting procedures. To exit without logging in, enter a Control-D (hold down the Control and D keys at the same time) at the Username prompt. To exit after logging in, type "logout" at the VxWorks shell prompt.
Note
In releases prior to 4.6 you could independently set proxy server gateway settings; however, with Release 4.6.x and forward, this is no longer the case. To retain the integrity of existing network configurations, settings made in a pre-4.6 release are not changed on an upgrade to Release 7.x. Current settings are displayed in CTC (whether they were inherited from an upgrade, or they were set using the current GUI).
CSCeh84908
A CTC client session can disconnect from an ONS node during simultaneous deletion of large numbers of VT level circuits (3000+). Connectivity to the node will recover without any user action. If the condition persists, restart the CTC session to reconnect. This issue is under investigation.
CSCin90057
A signal degrade or signal failure is not reported when you inject bit errors into the line for an E3 card. To see the SD or SF, inject a code violation error instead. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeh92201
When you create a bidirectional MS-SPRing-SNCP IDRI circuit using autorouting and select the PCA option for secondary spans, the circuit is created over working MS-SPRing spans and does not use PCA spans. To enforce the use of the PCA option, provision the circuit using manual routing. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef53317
A traffic hit can occur during a clock reference switch. To see this issue, complete the following steps.
Step 1
Set up two ONS 15454 SDH nodes with STM16 SNCP (call the nodes STM16-1 and STM16-2).
Step 2
Set up two ONS 15454 SDH nodes with MXP_MR_2.5G_10G (call the nodes MXP-1 and MXP-2).
Step 3
Place MXP-1 and MXP-2 in Transparent Termination Mode.
Step 4
Ensure that STM16-1 is connected to MXP-1 client 1.
Step 5
Ensure that STM16-2 is connected to MXP-2 client 1.
Step 6
Ensure that MXP-1 trunk is connected to MXP-2 trunk.
Step 7
Connect a traffic generator to MXP_MR_2.5G_10G Port 3 (client) of MXP-1 and feed a PRC clock.
Step 8
Set MXP-1 Clock Reference 1 to MXP_MR_2.5G_10G Port 3, leaving the other two clock references as INTERNAL.
Step 9
Provision circuits such that a combination of VC4-4C, VC12, VC3 and VC4 traffic flows between STM16-1 and STM16-2 through MXP-1 and MXP-2.
Step 10
Gradually inject increasingly negative frequency offset through the traffic generator, in steps of 3 ppm, where you perform the next decrement step only when the node returns to NORMAL state.
When the clock offset reaches around 17 ppm, Clock Reference 1 fails and MXP-1 switches to Clock Reference 2. During the clock switch a traffic hit might occur for less than one second. The same is behavior can occur when injecting positive frequency offset. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCuk49106
The amplifier gain set point shown by CTC and the actual measured amplifier gain differ. The following steps illustrate this issue.
Step 1
Reduce the insertion loss of the span just before the amplifier.
Step 2
Execute the APC procedure.
The APC procedure does not check consistency between the gain set point and the real gain, but rather only verifies the amplifier total output power. As a workaround, manual setting can be performed to align these values, although the discrepancy does not impact the normal functioning of the amplifier. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef54670
The SQUELCHED condition is not raised when a non-enhanced MXP card is in MS termination mode. To see this issue perform the following steps.
Step 1
Set up one ONS 15454 SDH node with MXP_2.5G_10G (MXP-1).
Step 2
Provision MXP-1 Port 1 (client) with any payload.
Step 3
Set MXP-1 Port 1 (client) and Port 5 (trunk) to the UNLOCKED state.
LOS and LOS-P alarms are reported on MXP-1 Port 1 (client). The SQUELCHED condition is not reported on MXP-1 Port 1 (client) because AIS is sent out the client port instead. This is as designed.
CSCef05162
Clearing the displayed statistics for a port will also clear the displayed history for that port. Clearing the displayed statistics for all ports will also clear the displayed history for all ports. There is no warning message from the TCC2. If History information is to be retained, do not clear displayed statistics for any port without first documenting the displayed history information for the associated port. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef29516
The ALS pulse recovery min value is 60 instead of 100. If this occurs, increase the value to 100. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeb36749
In a Y-Cable configuration, if you remove the client standby RX fiber; a non-service affecting LOS is raised, as expected. However, if you then remove the trunk active RX fiber; a non-service affecting LOS-P is raised, but the previously non-service affecting LOS on the client port is now escalated to a service affecting alarm, in spite of no traffic having been affected. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCee82052
After setting the node time (either manually or via NTP) you must wait for the endpoint of the interval to be reached before the end time will reflect the recently-set node time. Until this has occurred, the date time stamp for the end of the retrieved interval remains 12/31/69. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeb39359
When changing NE timing from External or Mixed to Line timing, a Transient IEF alarm might be reported against the standby XC10G. This issue will be resolved in a future hardware release.
CSCdz62367
When replacing a failed working E1-42 card in a 1:1 or 1:N protection configuration with the protect card carrying the switched traffic, bit errors, less than 50ms in duration, are possible on the activated protection card. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdy10030
CVs are not positively adjusted after exiting a UAS state. When a transition has been made from counting UAS, at least 10 seconds of non-SES must be counted to exit UAS. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdx35561
CTC is unable to communicate with an ONS 15454 SDH that is connected via an Ethernet craft port. CTC does, however, communicate over an SDCC link with an ONS 15454 SDH that is Ethernet connected, yielding a slow connection. This situation occurs when multiple nodes are on a single Ethernet segment and the nodes have different values for any of the following features:
•
Enable OSPF on the LAN
•
Enable Firewall
•
Craft Access Only
When any of these features are enabled, the proxy ARP service on the node is also disabled. The ONS 15454 SDH proxy ARP service assumes that all nodes are participating in the service.
This situation can also occur immediately after the aforementioned features are enabled. Other hosts on the Ethernet segment (for example, the subnet router) may retain incorrect ARP settings for the ONS 15454 SDHs.
To avoid this issue, all nodes on the same Ethernet segment must have the same values for Enable OSPF on the LAN, Enable Firewall, and Craft Access Only. If any of these values have changed recently, it may be necessary to allow connected hosts (such as the subnet router) to expire their ARP entries.
You can avoid waiting for the ARP entries to expire on their own by removing the SDCC links from the affected ONS 15454 SDH nodes. This will disconnect them for the purposes of the proxy ARP service and the nodes should become directly accessible over the Ethernet. Network settings on the nodes can then be provisioned as desired, after which the SDCC can be restored. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdy11012
When the topology host is connected to multiple OSPF areas, but CTC is launched on a node that is connected to fewer areas, the topology host appears in CTC, and all nodes appear in the network view, but some nodes remain disconnected. This can occur when the CTC host does not have routing information to connect to the disconnected nodes. (This can happen, for example, if automatic host detection was used to connect the CTC workstation to the initial node.)
CTC will be able to contact the topology host to learn about all the nodes in all the OSPF areas, but will be unable to contact any nodes that are not in the OSPF areas used by the launch node. Therefore, some nodes will remain disconnected in the CTC network view.
To work around this issue, if no firewall enabled, then the network configuration of the CTC host can be changed to allow CTC to see all nodes in the network. The launch node must be on its own subnet to prevent network partitioning, and craft access must not be enabled. The CTC host must be provisioned with an address on the same subnet as the initial node (but this address must not conflict with any other node in the network), and with the default gateway of the initial node. CTC will now be able to contact all nodes in the network.
If a firewall is enabled on any node in the network, then CTC will be unable to contact nodes outside of the initial OSPF areas. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdy57891
An LOP-P alarm can be inadvertently cleared by an LOS that is raised and cleared. On older STM-N cards, when an LOP condition and an LOS condition are both present on the input, an LOS will be raised. However, upon clearing the LOS with the LOP still present, the LOP alarm is not raised. An AIS-P condition will be visible. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdw38283
If a node has one good BITS reference and is running in a normal state, and you configure a second BITS reference, then reconfigure the second reference within 30 seconds of applying the first configuration, the node will enter FAST START SYNC mode. To avoid this problem, wait a minute before configuring the second reference a second time. This issue is a hardware limitation, and there are no current plans to resolve it.
CSCdw23208
Table 1 summarizes B1, B2, and B3 error count reporting for SDH optical cards. Note that not all reporting is done according to ITU specifications. In particular, ITU specifies error counts for B1 and B3 as the number of blocks with errors (refer to ITU-T G.826 for paths and ITU-T G.829 for RS and MS).
CSCdw82689
After creating 509 VLANs and provisioning many Ethernet circuits, Ethernet circuit provisioning can become very slow, or possibly fail. Ethernet traffic may also incur an outage of a few minutes. To avoid this problem, delete any VLANs that are created but not used, and do not recreate them. There is no resolution planned for this issue.
CSCdv10824: Netscape Plugins Directory
If you use CTC, JRE, and the Netscape browser with a Microsoft Windows platform, you must ensure that any new installation of Netscape uses the same Netscape directory as the previous installation did, if such an installation existed. If you install Netscape using a different path for the plug-ins directory, you will need to reinstall JRE so that it can detect the new directory.
CSCsh02230
If IOS CLI is used to configure Timezone and DST rule configuration then the output shown in the show running config command and show clock detail differ from what was configured. To avoid this issue it is recommended to use CTC provisioning tab to configure clock related provisioning.
CSCse04103
Applying the forced switch/manual switch on protect facility when no protection switch in operation, FRCDWKSWBK-NO-TRFSW/MANWKSWBK-NO-TRFSW is not raised for 1+1. There is no workaround for this issue.
CSCse87943
RFI-P is raised on both Working and Protect path in a 1+1 topology on an ONS 15310-MA. This occurs with an ML card with an STS cross connection with another ML card in another chassis and when the POS port on the 15310 MA side is shut down. There is no workaround for this issue.
CSCse38590
In the RPR topology, one station reports a "remote WTR" on a space, even though the neighboring station is not advertizing WTR. This issue is observed after many XC pulls/switches, deleting and recreating circuits, and replacing cross connects completely. This issue does not appear to have any real impact to traffic, but can potentially complicate troubleshooting. This problem was seen after multiple XC-pulls, XC-side-switches, circuit-deletions and circuit-creations. The workaround is to configure a forced-switch on both ends of the problem span, and then remove the forced-switch from both ends.
CSCsd44081
A series of crashes and reboots may occur when a policy-map includes approximately 200 class-map entries and policers. This error appears to occur when the card is boots up, the FPGA process is attempting to download the new FPGA, the policy-map has at least 200 class-map entries, and traffic has been punted to the host. These conditions may trigger a provisioning-message timeout on the ML card that can lead to a crash. Since the system boots up in the same state, a continuous series of crashed and reboots may occur. A workaround is to remove the circuits and wait until the node boots up with the latest FPGA image before reconfiguring the circuits.
CSCse23518
The RPR SPAN-MISMATCH alarm is not reported correctly in some situations. After creating and deleting an East-to-East RPR circuit through TL-1 x-connects and creating a West-to-West RPR circuit through the TL-1 x-connects script, both within less than on second of the other, the RPR-SPAN-MISMATCH alarm is seen only on one side of the circuit and not on the other side. This problem does not occur when the operations are made manually. This alarm indicates mis-cabling or cross-connects created between two East spans or two West spans. A workaround is to ensure more than one second between the deletion of one circuit and creation of the another.
CSCse75851
Tracebacks are seen in "show tech" or "show ons alarm defect" output for ML100T-8 on the 310CL after logging in through the CTC by way of the IOS CLI. This issue does not occur when these commands are issued through the console. The workaround is to ignore these tracebacks because they do not impact the functioning of the data card.
CSCse90514
The soak timer on POS port reduces which is not an expected behavior after creating a circuit on a POS port that is kept in OOS state. There is no workaround.
CSCse58432
Upgraded splitter OCHCC has OCHTRAILs shown as OOS[PARTIAL]. When upgrading a splitter-protected OCHCC 7.01 to 8.0, in 8.0 the OCHTRAIL circuits are reported as OOS[PARTIAL]. Indeed the two terminal nodes (Source and Destination) report state as OOS,DSBLD. TL1 and TCC report their states as IS-NR.
CSCsg29444
On rare occasions, the STM64 4-port DWDM card may into continuous resets after a node power down. A hard reset of the card usually brings it up normal.
CSCsd00882
In an IDRI setup, with an exiting SRG Violation between one of the rings and the IDRI hand-off spans, the SRG Violation Warning prints the same span twice. This happens only when the circuit is routed manually on a BLSR-path protection or a path protection DRI/IDRI. The functionality of the Circuit Routing is as expected. The one violation gets printed twice because the DRI span traverses twice.
CSCse96118
RTRV-COND-STS does not display path alarms on BLSR protect path. When BLSR is switched onto protection and the protect paths have conditions on them, the TL1 retrieval command does not show those conditions on protection paths.
CSCse53133
RTRV-COND-STS does not display path alarms on BLSR protect path. When BLSR is switched onto protection and the protect paths have conditions on them, the TL1 retrieval command does not show those conditions on protection paths.
CSCsb88234
When a card is provisioned and a filler card is plugged in, a DBCHG with ENT-EQPT is sent, but when a filler card is plugged in without a prior provision there is no plug-in message. Similarly, there is no message upon removal of the filler card. The workaround for TL1-NONE, is to issue an inventory call and the filler card appears. For CTC, the card is displayed and removed when the card is removed.
CSCsg03334
After ML card reset, system comes up with POS0=PSAS true. When nodes from Release 6.2 are activated with ML V-up enabled and there is a soft reset of the ML cards to clear SW-MISMATCH, the ML cards come up with PSAS on for POS 0. Consequently, the port does not report any alarms (only conditions) for eight hours. The NE Default is off for PSAS, so POS 0 should not have PSAS on. The workaround is to manually reset PSAS flag to FALSE.
CSCsg10963
Connections remain in OOS-AU,FLT after roll is cancelled. This occurs under the following conditions:
1.
Create OC48/OC192 2F-BLSR ring among three Cisco ONS 15454 SDHs.
2.
Create five STS1 2F-BLSR circuits from Cisco ONS 15454 Node 1 to Cisco ONS 15454 Node 2. All connections enter IS-NR state.
3.
Perform bulkroll to roll all connections from East port to West port. Roll is not complete. UNEQ-P alarms are raised for rollTo paths. Connection states change to OOS-AU,FLT.
4.
Cancel roll.
UNEQ-P alarms clear and connection states remain OOS-AU,FLT.
CSCsg16500
ROLL-PEND condition is seen for VT circuits on the CTC conditions pane.
1.
Create a two-node OC12 unprotected setup among two Cisco ONS 15454 SDHs.
2.
Create 1 VT circuit from Cisco ONS 15454 SDH node 1, OC3 card to Cisco ONS 15454 node 2, OC12 card.
3.
Give autobulkroll to circuit on the OC12 span from STS#1 to STS#4.
4.
Force the valid signal using ED-BULKROLL command to "true." Bulkroll completes and no rolls are present on any of the nodes.
The ROLL-PEND condition is now visible on VT circuits in CTC, TL1.
CSCsg32263
When DBCHG messages are turned on by using the ALW-MSG-ALL command, there is no DBCHG message when creating and then deleting a proxy firewall tunnel.
CSCse22576
CTC BLSR views not updated properly after consecutive ENT-MSSPR commands. After entering 16 consecutive ENT-MSSPR TL1 commands across three nodes, the CTC does not update the NetView > BLSR table. The workaround is to restart the CTC so it shows the screens properly. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCse91968
The AINS-to-IS transition on BLSR 4F Protect not functioning properly. When a BLSR 4fibre ring is used, the AINS-to-IS transition is not correct when protect is active (ring switched). Sometimes the wrong protect is transitioning at the IO. If the TSC is notified incorrectly, it becomes out of sync with the IO, and becomes stuck in AINS, even when the protect switch is released. The PCA is also being incorrectly notified of an AINS-to-IS transition. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCse92248
System does not declare TIM-P or retrieves received J1 Path Trace value on switched BLSR. With BLSR switched onto the protect. With the J1 path trace value changed on one node, the receiving node is not retrieving the new J1 Path Trace value and, therefore, is not raising the TIM-P alarm. This issue will be resolved in a future release. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsf01901
Standby TSC may continuously reboot and Node may loose visibility when there is a huge number of alarm transitions on the node for more than an hour. The standby TSC should be hard reset and the visibility will be regained. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsf96856
Database Restore may fail with a large database. When restoring a large database with full-capacity cross connects, alarms, and PM databases, the restoration through CTC may fail with an error. A workaround is to attempt the database operation again and it usually succeeds. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsg00090
There is no response when command "RTRV-TH-STS1::all:1;" is issued. Expected behavior is a DENY response with the correct error message or COMPLD response with the appropriate threshold values displayed. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsg16680
RTRV-PM-<mod2_path> does not display any PM counts for ALL aid. The TL1 command is COMPLD, but nothing displays. This issue arises when 2F-BLSR circuits are provisioned with IPPM enabled and B3 errors are injected and where some PM counts are generated. Then, STS12c circuits are created and the command RTRV-PM-STS12c::all:1 is executed. Otherwise, RTRV-PM-ALL works fine, and RTRV-PM-<mod2_path> with individual AID works normally.
CSCsg13597
After pulling line cards out of shelves involved in the DCC between nodes a EOC alarm was raised and did not clear after the cards were re-inserted.
"Are you sure" Prompts
Whenever a proposed change occurs, the "Are you sure" dialog box appears to warn the user that the action can change existing provisioning states or can cause traffic disruptions.
Common Control and Cross Connect Cards
CSCec82148
Rarely, traffic hits can occur on TCC2/TCC2P card removal. To avoid this issue, remove the card quickly. To recover from this issue, soft reset the TCC2/TCC2P card. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCsj39710
In CTC Card View, Maintenance Pane, the Loopback Type is displayed as False. The parameter has to be set to True. A workaround is to manually set the parameter to True.This is for the release(s) prior to 8.0.
This is for cards STM1, STM-4, STM-16, and STM-64.This issue is resolved in this release.
Ethernet Polarity Detection
The TCC2/TCC2P does not support Ethernet polarity detection. The TCC+ and TCCI both support this feature. If your Ethernet connection has the incorrect polarity (this can only occur with cables that have the receive wire pairs flipped), the TCC+/I will work, but the TCC2/TCC2P will not. In this event, a standing condition, "LAN Connection Polarity Reverse Detected" (COND-LAN-POL-REV), will be raised (a notification will appear on the LCD, and there will be an alarm raised). This issue will most likely be seen during an upgrade or initial node deployment. To correct the situation, ensure that your Ethernet cable has the correct mapping of the wire wrap pins. For Ethernet pin mappings, consult the user documentation.
Optical IO Cards
CSCee17695 and CSCed26246
Rarely, an STM1-8 card might fail to read MFG EEPROM and will show MEA in CTC. This issue can be reproduced by power cycling the node several times, by quickly removing and reinserting a fuse, or when the fuse is removed for several minutes and then replaced; however, the issue is not likely to be due to the power cycling. If a card enters this state, remove and reseat it, or cycle power again to recover STM1-8 operation. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdw44431
Cisco ONS 15454 optical cards are not provisioned for particular path labels (C2 bytes). Consequently, they cannot raise a PLM condition. However, the ONS 15454 electrical card that terminates traffic ensures that the C2 byte is correct for the type of traffic carried. If the C2 byte is incorrect, this card raises a PLM condition that is reported against the optical port of ingress. An optical card will not raise a PLM against traffic that passes through a node, though it will appear to raise a PLM against traffic with the wrong C2 byte that is terminated on an electrical card within the node. This issue will not be resolved.
Note
Optical cards do ensure that the C2 byte is nonzero (Equipped), and will raise a UNEQ condition if the C2 byte is 0 (Unequipped).

Long traffic hits can occur on E1-42 when using cross connect FIT cards. This can occur when, on the FIT card, you toggle the 155 mhz clock going to the E1-42 cards to the off position. This issue cannot be resolved.
CSCeg81428
Rarely, a long traffic hit (117 ms) can occur on E1-42 after an XC side switch. In multinode BLSR setups, switching the cross connect cards repeatedly might cause traffic hits greater that 60 ms. To avoid this issue side switch the XC only when needed (and not repeatedly). This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeg19255
Rarely, DS3I VC3 traffic takes a hit greater than 60 ms during a cross connect card soft reset. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef67059
Bit errors can occur on E1-42 line cards passing traffic, when other E1-42 line cards are initially inserted into adjacent slots. Specifically, inserting line cards into adjacent slots or 1:N protect slots (Slots 3 and 15) can cause hits on Ports 1-14. Also, when the card in the 1:N protection slot is passing traffic, inserting E1-42 line cards into adjacent slots can cause bit errors. The bit errors characteristically last less than 5 ms. After the card is inserted, no further bit errors occur. Ports 15-42 behave differently. No bit errors occur on a line card residing in a non-1:N slot if adjacent line cards are inserted. Bit errors will only occur for these ports if line cards are inserted into the 1:N protection slots (Slots 3 and 15). Bit errors might also occur if traffic passes through the 1:N protected slot, and you insert a line card into any other working slot. A future version of E1-42 hardware will resolve this issue.
Interoperability with SONET DS3i-N-12
When provisioning circuits in SDH to interoperate with SONET DS3i-N-12, you must create a VC4 containing VC3s as a payload in the exact order in which they will attach to port groups on the SONET side.
CSCea52722
With DS3-I cards in a 1:2 protection group, when the protect card is active and in the WTR condition, removing another working card from the protection group clears the WTR condition. To work around this issue, remove the working card from the protection group when the protect card is in the standby state. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCdw80652
When one traffic card in a DS3I 1:N protection group is reset, and then another card is reset, there will be a loss of traffic on the second card, after the first card completes its reset, lasting until the second card completes its reset. This only occurs when the protect card tries to handle the traffic of a card that is resetting, and that card is carrying traffic because when it reset the protect card was carrying traffic for another card. This loss of traffic occurs because the protect card attempts to set its relays to handle the traffic of the working card, but the relays on the working card are also set to carry the traffic, and since the card is resetting, no software is running to switch its relays. This issue most frequently presents itself when testing a double-failure scenario: resetting two cards in a protection group. Wait until the first card completes its reset sequence before resetting the second card to prevent this problem. Configuring cards in 1:1 instead of 1:N protection should also avoid the problem. This issue will not be resolved.
DWDM Cards
CSCsd92505
Traffic hits of 100 ms to 300 ms might occur during an OPT-PRE or OPT-BST card software reset or firmware upgrade. This occurs only with cards displaying the vendor ID 1025 in the CTC node level inventory tab when the following conditions are present for the affected card.
•
OPT-PRE
–
WorkingMode is set to Output Power and the Input Com Power value is less than -33dBm.
•
OPT-BST
–
WorkingMode is set to Gain with a Gain value of greater than 17 dB, and Input Com Power is less than -10 dBm (three channels at approximately -14 dBm).
This issue is resolved in Release 7.0.1 and all subsequent releases except for Release 7.2.
CSCei19148
When a port is placed in-service while the conditions necessary to squelch the port are present, as in when the trunk port on a DWDM card is OOS,DSBLD and a client port is placed in-service, the client will momentarily enable, emitting light, before squelching due to the trunk OOS,DSBLD condition. The pulse is approximately 500 ms. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCei87554
When using a 1GE payload over the TXP_MR_2.5G the IfInErrors counter does not report oversized, undersized, or CRC errored frames, but rather, reports frame coding only. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCsb47323
For MXP_MR_10DME-C and MXP_MR_10DME-L cards, an unexpected RFI condition might be raised along with an OTUk-BDI. When there is an LOS downstream, the node receives OTUk-BDI. Because of the placement of dual OTN and SONET wrappers, it can also receive an RFI. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCsb79548
A long traffic hit can occur when an active TCC2/TCC2P resets while an MXP_MR_10DME-C or MXP_MR_10DME-L card is rebooting.
This issue can be reproduced as follows:
Step 1
Set up two MXP_MR_10DME-C or MXP_MR_10DME-L cards, connected back-to-back in two different nodes, A and B.
Step 2
Ensure that Node A has two TCC2 cards; one is active, and the other is standby.
Step 3
Set up any kind of traffic between the two MXP_MR_10DME-C or MXP_MR_10DME-L cards.
Step 4
Soft reset the MXP_MR_10DME card in Node A, then soft reset the active TCC2/TCC2P.
OTUk/ODUk-SD, FEC Uncorrected word alarms are raised on the trunk port. Traffic goes down and does not recover until the MXP_MR_10DME card is able to come up. It is not known when or if this issue will be resolved.
CSCsb94736
After a fault condition (trunk LOS or Y-cable switch) an MXP_MR_10DME card might fail to detect the login message and traffic might not start for some minutes (after multiple login trials). This can occur in an N-F configuration with MDS switch and MXP_MR_10DME distance extension on, where test equipment traffic is set to 2G Fibre channel (FC) full bandwidth occupancy and started. Stop traffic or keep bandwidth occupancy below 80% during the login phase to work around this issue. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCsb95918
All GFP related alarms are raised with their active severities on the standby card after a Y-Cable protection switch. When a DWDM card (with GFP support) in a Y-Cable protection group becomes standby as a result of a Y-Cable protection switch, the GFP alarms raised when the card was active retain their severities instead of assuming standby severities. The alarms can be seen in the alarm pane if not suppressed, or in the condition pane if suppressed. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsc36494
Manual Y cable switches with squelching turned off can cause a Fibre channel link with brocade switches to go down.
This issue can be reproduced as follows:
Step 1
Set up MXP_MR_10DME cards so that they are Y cable protected. Squelching is provisioned to be off. Distance extension is turned on.
Step 2
The path between the working pair of Y cable protected cards, has no distance introduced. But the protect path has a delay of 800 km introduced.
Step 3
Start Fibre channel traffic with brocade switches.
Step 4
Perform user-initiated manual Y cable switches from CTC.
After a few switchovers, the FC link will go down. SIGLOSS and GFP-CSF alarms are seen on the CTC.
Cisco recommends you provision squelching to be on when interworking with brocade switches. If for some reason, squelching must be off with brocade switches, Cisco recommends you use a FORCE command to perform Y cable switches. It is not known when or if this issue will be resolved.
CSCsc60472
CTC is not able to discover a TL1 OCHCC circuit provisioned over an ITU-T line card (ITU-T OC48/STM16 and ITU-T OC192/STM64). This issue can occur when, using the TL1 client interface, you create the OCHNC layer that will be used by the OCHCC circuit, then create the OCHCC connections that involve the ITU-T line cards. The result is an OCHNC and two OCHCC partial circuits, instead of an OCHNC and a single OCHCC complete circuit. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCsc14290
LOW communication between two nodes equipped with TXP-MR-10E and AIC-I cards does not work with TXP-MR-10E cards in line termination mode, G.709 enabled, GCC present on the trunk port, and LOW circuits created between the transponders and AIC-I; Cisco recommends that you use EOW instead. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCeh94567
Setting a Terminal loopback on an MXP-2.5G-10G trunk port causes OTUK alarms.
This can occur under the following conditions.
1.
Two MXP-2.5G-10G cards are connected via the trunk ports.
2.
The client ports are connected to respective STM16 line cards.
3.
SDCC is enabled on the client ports and the line cards' STM16 port.
4.
A terminal loopback is set on the MXP-2.5G-10G trunk port.
This terminal loopback causes OTUK-LOF and OTUK-IA alarms to be reported on both MXP-2.5G-10G trunk ports. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef15415
RMON TCAs are not raised on the TXPP_MR_2.5G client port after a hardware reset. To see this issue, provision two nodes with TXPP_MR_2.5G (TXP-1 and TXP-2) as follows.
Step 1
Connect the TXP-1 DWDM-A trunk to the TXP-2 DWDM-A trunk.
Step 2
Connect the TXP-1 DWDM-B trunk to the TXP-2 DWDM-B trunk.
Step 3
Create an external fiber loopback on the TXP-1 client.
Step 4
Connect the TXP-2 client to a traffic generator.
Step 5
Provision 1G FC payload on the TXP-1 and TXP-2.
Step 6
Ensure that traffic is running smoothly.
Step 7
Provision RMON thresholds using TL1 for all TXPP_MR_2.5G ports (client and trunks).
Step 8
Apply a hardware reset to the TXPP_MR_2.5G.
After the card reboots, only DWDM-A and DWDM-B (trunk) port RMON TCAs are raised in the CTC History pane. RMON TCAs for port 1 (client) are not raised. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef15452
RMON TCAs are not raised when the RMON history is cleared on TXPP_MR_2.5G card. To see this issue, provision two nodes with TXPP_MR_2.5G (TXP-1 and TXP-2) as follows.
Step 1
Connect the TXP-1 DWDM-A trunk to the TXP-2 DWDM-A trunk.
Step 2
Connect the TXP-1 DWDM-B trunk to the TXP-2 DWDM-B trunk.
Step 3
Create an external fiber loopback on the TXP-1 client.
Step 4
Connect the TXP-2 client to a traffic generator.
Step 5
Provision 1G FC payload on the TXP-1 and TXP-2.
Step 6
Ensure that traffic is running smoothly.
Step 7
Provision RMON thresholds using TL1 for all TXPP_MR_2.5G ports (client and trunks).
Step 8
While the traffic is running reset the RMON history by clicking the Clear button in the CTC Payload PM pane.
RMON TCAs are not raised for any port. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef50726
Receive client fiber removal can cause a switch from the protect to the active in a TXPP_MR_2.5G. To see this issue, perform the following steps.
Step 1
Set up two nodes with TXPP_MR_2.5G (call the nodes TXP-1 and TXP-2).
Step 2
Ensure that TXP-1 DWDM-A trunk is connected to TXP-2 DWDM-A trunk with a 100 Km span.
Step 3
Ensure that TXP-1 DWDM-B trunk is connected to TXP-2 DWDM-B trunk with a 0 Km span.
Step 4
Ensure that TXP-1 client has an external fiber loopback.
Step 5
Connect the TXP-2 client to a traffic generator.
Step 6
Provision TXP-1 and TXP-2 with FICON 1G payload.
Step 7
Ensure that traffic is running smoothly on the protected span.
Step 8
Remove the receive client fiber at the near end.
This causes the far end trunk to switch from protect to working span. Similarly, removal of the receive Client fiber at far end causes the near end trunk to switch from the protect to the working span. (Note that the traffic is already lost due to the receive client fiber pull.) To work around this issue, manually switch via CTC from the working to the protect span. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef13304
Incorrect ALS initiation causes a traffic outage on an FC payload. This issue can be seen by performing the following steps.
Step 1
Set up two nodes with TXPP_MR_2.5G (call these nodes TXP-1 and TXP-2).
Step 2
Connect the TXP-1 DWDM-A trunk to the TXP-2 DWDM-A trunk.
Step 3
Connect the TXP-1 DWDM-B trunk to the TXP-2 DWDM-B trunk.
Step 4
Provision the TXP-1 client with an external fiber loopback.
Step 5
Connect the TXP-2 client to a traffic generator.
Step 6
Ensure that TXP-1 and TXP-2 have 1G FC payload provisioned.
Step 7
Enable ALS on TXP-1 trunk port and set it to "Manual Restart."
Step 8
When traffic is running, remove the receive and transmit fibers on TXP1 port 1 (client). Traffic goes down and shutdown on TXP-1 port 2 (trunk) displays "No."
Step 9
Reconnect the fibers for TXP-1 port 1 (client).
ALS is now initiated on TXP-1 port 2 (trunk) and the laser shuts down. Traffic never comes back.
Note
This issue is restricted to the TXPP_MR_2.5G card.
To recover from this situation, perform a manual restart or disable the ALS in this configuration. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCuk51184
When downloading Release 4.7 to nodes with Release 4.6 installed, The 15454-32MUX-O and 15454-32DMX-O report an AWG Temperature fail low alarm that subsequently clears. This also occurs when downgrading from Release 4.7 to Release 4.6, where the AWG Temperature alarm fail is high. This issue cannot be resolved.
CSCec22885
AS-MT is not enabled in Port 3 when a loopback is applied. To see this issue, on the TXPP card, make the following 3 changes before clicking Apply:
Step 1
Change Port 2 to OOS-MT from IS.
Step 2
Change Port 3 to OOS-MT from IS.
Step 3
Change Port 2 to facility or terminal loopback.
Now, when you click Apply, CTC issues the error message: "Error applying changes to row2 peer trunk port must not be IS." Port 3 is still IS and the loopback changes are not applied. You must place Port 3 in the OOS-MT state, apply the changes, and then change the loopback to recover.
This error occurs only when all three of the above changes are attempted at the same time.
To avoid this issue, first change both the trunk ports to OOS-MT, click Apply, and then place port 2 in loopback and click Apply again. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCed76821
With Y-cable provisioned for MXP-MR-2.5G cards, if you remove the client receive fiber on one side, the far end takes greater than 100 ms to switch away from the affected card. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef44939
Under certain conditions you may be unable to provision an Express Order Wire (EOW) circuit using an MXP_2.5G_10G or TXP_MR_10G card trunk port. This can occurs as follows.
Step 1
Provision an MXP_2.5G_10G or TXP_MR_10G card within a node.
Step 2
Disable OTN.
Step 3
Provision DCC on both client and trunk ports.
Step 4
Go to the Network view Provisioning > Overhead Circuits tab.
During the EOW circuit provisioning only the MXP/TXP client ports are listed for the selection. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCuk51185
After a soft reset of an OSCM or OSC-CSM card, a CONTBUS-IO alarm is raised. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCuk50144
Neither E1 nor E2 circuits are available for EOW circuits on TXP_MR_2.5 TXT in Section and Line Termination mode. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCee45443
When the FICON bridge does not receive the expected number of idle frames between data packets it will transition to SERV MODE. The MXP-MR-2.5G should not be used in scenarios where there is a FICON Bridge in place. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCec40684
After a database restore TXPP trunk ports might report SF, resulting in a traffic outage. The SF occurs when you restore the database and then put the port OOS for DWDM cards; then the operating mode in the database is different from the current operating mode. To avoid this issue, either put the DWDM port OOS before restore the database, or, after restoring the database, reset the DWDM cards. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCec51270
Far end traffic does not switch in line termination mode with .G709 off. This can occur with non-revertive Y-cable, and DCC enabled, under certain specific conditions. To avoid this issue, turn on .G709 when in line mode. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCuk42668
TXP-MR-2.5G F1-UDC may not be passed through in a line-terminated configuration with OTN off. This can occur with clean, OC-3/STM-1, line-terminated traffic, with OTN disabled, when you create a D1-D3 tunnel, a D4-D12 tunnel, and an F1-UDC from client to client. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCuk42752
If you go to the Overhead Circuits Tab in network view and select any User Data, F1 or User Data D4-D12 circuit type, no nXP cards are available for selection in the Endpoints. However, user Data type circuits can still be made end-to-end (where "end-to-end" refers to external cards, such as AIC to AIC) if the nXP cards are put in Transparent mode. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeb49422
With TXPP cards, a traffic loss up to six seconds can occur during a DWDM protection switch. This behavior may be exhibited during protection switches by certain third-party fiber channel switches due to loss of buffer credits resulting in a reconvergence of the fiber channel link. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeb53044
The 2G Fiber Channel (FC) payload data type in the TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G cards does not support any 8B/10B Payload PM monitoring. This is by design.
CSCeb32065
Once engaged, the ALR will not restart on the trunk lines of a TXP or TXPP card. This occurs whenever ALR engages on the trunk lines of a TXP or TXPP card and the recover pulse width is provisioned to less than 40 seconds. This is a function of the trunk laser turn-on time, and the limiting recovery pulse width will vary by card. To avoid this issue, provision the pulse width to 40 seconds or more. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeb26662 and CSCea88023
With TXP-MR-2.5G cards, when the current 1 day Optics PM rolls over, the information is inaccurate. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCuk42588
With ALS mode configured as "Auto Restart" or "Manual Restart," it is possible the ALS Pulse Duration Recovery time can be set to values out of ITU-T recommendation G.664. You can use values out of the range defined in ITU-T recommendation G.664 only in order to interoperate with equipment that lasers cannot turn on or off within the required pulse time. To stay within the specification, you can set this value to 2 seconds and up to 2.25 seconds.
CSCea81219
On the TXPP, the default value for Tx Power High for TCAs & Alarms is too high for the trunk ports. Since Tx Power TCA and Alarm are not supported for trunk ports, this caveat is for informational purposes only.
CSCeb24815
With TXP-MR-2.5G cards, ratios are calculated incorrectly after clearing statistics. This is because after you clear statistics the entire time period becomes invalid. Once the time period rolls over again, values will be reliable for the new period.
CSCeb27187
During a Y-Cable protection switch, the client interface sends 200,000 to 300,000 8B/10B errors towards the attached Catalyst 3550 switch. The switch reacts to this large amount of 8B/10B errors by reinitializing the interface and spanning tree. The end result is that a protection switch can lead to a 30-45 second traffic hit if the switch is running spanning tree (default mode). This is expected behavior.
CSCea87290
In a Y-Cable protection group, if GCCs are defined on both cards, both cards' active LEDs will be green. This is by design.
CSCeb12609
For the TXPP, attenuating Port 2 Rx signal, SD, and SF alarms are not declared before LOS-P is raised. This is due to the intrinsic design of the optical interface, which allows required BER performances with dispersion and OSNR penalties.
This can occur when Port 2 is in back to back or has low dispersions and high OSNR.
CSCea68773
The ACTV/STBY LED shows AMBER when a 2.5G transponder is first connected. The DWDM cards introduced a new design: When all the ports are OOS on a card, the card is considered to be in standby mode.
Data IO Cards
SONET and SDH Card Compatibility
Tables 2, 3, and 4 list the cards that are compatible for the ONS 15454 SONET and ONS 15454 SDH platforms. All other cards are platform specific.
E1000-2/E100T
Do not use the repair circuit option with provisioned stitched Ethernet circuits. It is not known at this time when or if this issue will be resolved.
Single-card EtherSwitch
Each E100/E1000 card can be configured as a single-card EtherSwitch configuration to allow VC4-4c of bandwidth to be dropped at each card. The following scenarios for provisioning are available:
VC4-4c
VC4-2c, VC4-2c
VC4-2c, VC4, VC4
VC4, VC4, VC4, VC4
When configuring scenario 3, the VC4-2c must be provisioned before either of the VC4 circuits.
Multicard EtherSwitch
When deleting and recreating Ethernet circuits that have different sizes, you must delete all VC4 circuits provisioned to the EtherSwitch before you create the new circuit scenario. (See the preceding "Single-card EtherSwitch" section on page 6 for details on the proper order of circuit creation.) Enable front ports so that the VLANs for the ports are carried by the largest circuit first. A safe approach is to enable the front port before you create any circuits and then retain the front port VLAN assignment afterwards. If you break the rules when creating a circuit, or if you have to delete circuits and recreate them again, delete all circuits and start over with the largest first.
CSCed96068
If an ML-Series card running Software Release 4.6.2 or later is interoperating with an ML-Series card running Software Release 4.6.0 or 4.6.1, then the pos vcat resequence disable command must be added to the configuration of the ML-Series card running R4.6.2 or later.
CSCec52443
On an ML-series RPR ring circuit deletion or creation causes an approximately 200 ms traffic loss. Traffic loss is expected to be less than 50 ms for RPR. To avoid this issue, from the ML-series CLI, perform a "shutdown" on both ends of the circuit prior to circuit changes. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCec52372
You must issue a "shut" command to both ends of a POS circuit before placing the circuit OOS, and issue IS before a "no shut" command. Placing a POS circuit OOS without shutting down can cause long traffic hits. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCec51252
You must issue a "shut" on both ends of affected POS circuits before performing a maintenance action on those circuits. If a POS circuit is restored without first issuing the shut commands, traffic loss is greater than 50 ms. When a maintenance action is taken, one end of the circuits could come up before the other. During that time, traffic is lost because the other end is not up yet. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeb25778
When a MAC-SA is seen for the first time, it is learned, but may age out in less than 5 minutes. If the same MAC-SA is seen again before the first ages out, the entry will age out after 5 minutes, as expected. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCin43669
Timer expiration can cause a system crash when you attempt to remove 250 Shared Packet Ring (SPR) subinterfaces using the "no int spr1" command, while Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is also enabled. To avoid this issue, either turn off CDP, issue the command, and then turn CDP back on; or remove the SPR subinterfaces explicitly. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCea36829
The broadcast packet count is always 0 for the SPR interface. The ML100 and ML1000 hardware does not support counting broadcast packets. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeb21996
When the POS interface is removed from SPR due to a defect, while SPR is configured in immediate mode, the defect type may not be reported. This only occurs if the defect is set and clears in less then 50 ms.
CSCdz49700
ML-series cards do not appear in the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) adjacencies and do not participate in the Spanning-Tree Protocol. All packets are counted as multicast.
The ML-series cards always forward Dynamic Trunking protocol (DTP) packets between connected devices. If DTP is enabled on connected devices (which might be the default), DTP might negotiate parameters, such as ISL, that are not supported by the ML-series cards. All packets on a link negotiated to use ISL are always counted as multicast packets by the ML-series card, and STP and CDP packets are bridged between connected devices using ISL without being processed. To avoid this issue, disable DTP and ISL on connected devices. This functionality is as designed.
CSCdz68649
Under certain conditions, the flow-control status may indicate that flow control is functioning, when it is not. Flow-control on the ML-series cards only functions when a port-level policer is configured. A port-level policer is a policer on the default and only class of an input policy-map. Flow-control also only functions to limit the source rate to the configured policer discard rate, it does not prevent packet discards due to output queue congestion.
Therefore, if a port-level policer is not configured, or if output queue congestion is occurring, policing does not function. However, it might still mistakenly display as enabled under these conditions. To avoid this issue, configure a port-level policer and prevent output queue congestion. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdz69700
Issuing a shutdown/no shutdown command sequence on an ML1000 port clears the counters. This is a normal part of the startup process and there are no plans to change this functionality.
CSCea01675
Packets without an 802.1q VLAN tag are classified as COS 0. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCin29274
When configuring the same static route over two or more interfaces, use the following command:
ip route a-prefix a-networkmask a.b.c.d
Where a.b.c.d is the address of the outgoing gateway, or, similarly, use the command:
ip route vrf vrf-name
Do not try to configure this type of static route using only the interface instead of the address of the outgoing gateway. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCin32057
If no BGP session comes up when VPN Routing/Forwarding (VRF) is configured and all interfaces have VRF enabled ensure that at least one IP interface (without VRF) is configured and add an IP loopback interface on each node. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdy55437
The maximum MAC Address Learn Rate for the ML-Series cards is 1300 MAC addresses per second. This number varies based on the ML-Series control and forwarding plane loads. If the forwarding and control planes are heavily loaded, the maximum MAC Address Learn Rate could be as low as 100 MAC addresses per second. To correct a situation where an ML-Series card has stopped learning MAC addresses, reduce the load on these cards. This load limit is by design.
CSCdy47284
Oversize frames are not supported on ML100 Fast Ethernet ports. Oversize frames cause egress traffic to incur CRC, line, and fragment errors on these ports. To avoid this issue, do not send jumbo packets to ML far end ports. This is as designed.
Alarms

When a VC_LOW_PATH_TUNNEL only contains unidirectional circuits, an AU-LOP critical alarm is raised. This can occur when a bidirectional tunnel goes through at least three nodes, and the AU-LOP alarm is shown on the intermediate node on the direction not used. Tunnels are bidirectional. If a tunnel does not have traffic in both directions, it will be alarmed. The alarm will be cleared when a bidirectional circuit is added to the tunnel. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCef63240
Rarely, an LP TIM alarm displays its severity as NR instead of MJ in CTC. This can occur when a VC3 circuit is created on Port 5 and IO has detected a VC4 PLM alarm. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCee29901
A CARLOSS alarm can take up to 3 minutes to be reported depend of the number of VLANs configured on a node. When the alarm does appear, if you clear this major alarm, the severity changes to minor, but then the alarm disappears. The alarm severity behavior will not be changed.
MS-SPRing Functionality
CSCdz66275
When creating a MS-SPRing from the network view, the node default values for reversion are not initially used. To see this, starting with no preferences file, log into a node with CTC, and set the node default values for MS-SPRing reversion. Now, in Network view, use the MS-SPRing wizard to create a MS-SPRing. The node level default values are initially ignored while the wizard is still in operation. If you encounter this issue, you may need to change values as appropriate for your network while you are still using the MS-SPRing wizard. Once the wizard is finished, these values are saved to a preferences file and will be used henceforth. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdw53481
Two MS-SPRings are not allowed to coexist. If you execute a manual ring switch command on one side of an MS-SPRing node and apply another manual ring switch command on other side of the node, the second manual ring switch command is rejected. This works as designed. The implementation complies with Telcordia GR-1230, R6-102.
CSCdx45851
On a four fiber MS-SPRing, restoring the database for all nodes at the same time could cause VC4-16c traffic to fail to switch. Do not restore the database for multiple nodes simultaneously. The proper procedure for restoring the database for multiple nodes is to restore one node at a time. This procedure is documented in the user documentation.
CSCdx19598
A rare hardware failure on an STM16AS card transmitter can trigger SEF on the receiving STM16AS card in a four fiber MS-SPRing (or BLSR) configuration. The BER calculations are suspended when SEF is detected, so SD or SF is never raised. Likewise SEF is not considered a signal failure condition like LOS or LOF, so a protection switch will not occur. If this occurs, use the CTC GUI to force a protection switch on the MS-SPRing (or BLSR). This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdv53427
In a two ring, two fiber MS-SPRing (or BLSR) configuration (or a two ring MS-SPRing or BLSR configuration with one two fiber and one four fiber ring) it is possible to provision a circuit that begins on one ring, crosses to a second ring, and returns to the original ring. Such a circuit can have protection vulnerabilities if one of the common nodes is isolated, or if a ring is segmented in such a way that two non-contiguous segments of the circuit on the same ring are each broken. There are two possible workarounds for this issue:
1.
Manually route the circuit to avoid the "one circuit over two ring" routing scenario.
2.
When routing the circuit automatically, select the Using Required Nodes/Spans option in the Circuit Routing Preference screen, then select the appropriate spans to avoid the "one circuit over two ring" routing scenario.
This issue will be resolved in a future release.
Database Restore on an MS-SPRing
When restoring the database on an MS-SPRing, follow these steps:
Step 1
To isolate the failed node, issue a force switch toward the failure node from the adjacent east and west nodes.
Step 2
If more than one node has failed, restore the database one node at a time.
Step 3
After the TCC2/TCC2P has reset and booted up, ensure that the "MS-SPRing Multi-Node Table update completed" event has occurred for all nodes in the ring.
Step 4
Release the force switch from each node.
SNCP Functionality
CSCee53579
Traffic hits can occur in an unprotected to SNCP topology upgrade in unidirectional routing. If you create an unprotected circuit, then upgrade the unprotected circuit to a SNCP circuit using Unprotected to SNCP wizard, selecting unidirectional routing in the wizard, the circuit will be upgraded to a SNCP circuit. However, during the conversion, traffic hits on the order of 300 ms should be expected. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCeb37707
With a VT SNCP circuit, if you inject signals with a thru-mode test set into one path of the circuit in a particular order, you may not see the appropriate alarms. This can occur when you first inject LOP-P, then clear, then inject LOP-V. This issue will not be resolved.
Active XCVXL or TCC2/TCC2P Card Removal
As in MS-SPRing, you must perform a lockout on SNCP before removing an active cross connect or TCC2/TCC2P card. The following rules apply to SNCP.
Active XCVXL cards should not generally be physically removed. If the active cross connect or TCC2/TCC2P card must be removed, you can first perform an XCVXL side switch or TCC2/TCC2P reset and then remove the card once it is in standby, or you can perform a lockout on all circuits that originate from the node whose active cross connect card or active TCC2/TCC2P will be removed (performing a lockout on all spans will also accomplish the same goal). No lockout is necessary for switches initiated through CTC or through TL1.
Performance Monitoring
CSCef28522
When you inject errors on a splitter protection card in the node's working port, CVL and ESL are incremented for the working and protect far end ports. This issue will not be resolved.

Resolved Caveats for Release 8.0
This section highlights resolved caveats for Release 8.0.
Maintenance and Administration
CSCsd47626
Bulk deletion of Low Order Server Trails can cause a TCC card to reset. To avoid this delete low order server trails one by one. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCsc64015
Rarely, in an STM 1+1 configuration with VC3 traffic from one E3 to another where the source node has a 1:1 protection group, if you perform a parallel upgrade from Release 5.0.2 to 7.0, E3 traffic might incur a 13.2 ms hit. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCsc89462
When idle GFP frames are sent, CE-100T-8 card reports a GFP-UP-MISM alarm after a few RX SONET fiber pulls, GFP-UP-MISM alarm is cleared and a valid GFP frame is sent. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCin92246
When one of the underlying connections of a circuit moves to the Unlocked-disabled, failed state, CTC treats the Unlocked-disabled, failed state as out of service and interprets part of the circuit to be out of service, or Locked. However, this is incorrect, as none of the underlying connections is in a Locked state. The result is that the circuit state is displayed as Locked[Partial], even though all of the underlying connections are technically Unlocked. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCsd36183
The path alarm counters in the ML100T-8 is not present, but in the ML100-T12 (ONS 15454) they are present. These counters are useful for debugging purposes. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCse69401
There is a traffic hit of around 15 to 25 seconds, when the LACP system priority is modified. All the members of the port-channel are removed from the port-channel and added back. This is done to re-negotiate the LAG ID. The workaround is to modify system priority before adding members to the channel-group. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCsg05124
In a LAG with members of equal port priority, members could be repeatedly added/removed from the LACP LAG, when the interface with the lowest if-number is flapping. When LACP priority is equal, the link with the lowest if-number is given preference to be added to the etherchannel. However, this behavior could lead to links being added/removed from the channel, when the port with lowest if-number is flapping. The workaround is to modify the port-priorities of the LAG members. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCsg08650
When all active members of the LAG are manually "shutdown," the time taken for switching over to "hot-stdby" links is more than 6 secs. In this scenario, the port-channel interface goes down and comes back when the "hot-stdby" members are added to the LAG, causing routing and spanning tree reconvergence. This occurs when all active members of the port-channel are simultaneously "shutdown." The workaround is to increase the carrier delay timer of the port-channel to greater than 2 seconds. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCse52258
APS CHANNEL FAILURE ALARMS may appear while software upgrade is in progress. Once upgrade is complete, the alarms clears. This issue is due to the FPGAs being reprogrammed and k3 not supported under hardware control. Once the FPGAs finish, k3 is restored and the alarms clear. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCse75892
Entering wait to restore is inconsistent in dual unidirectional failures on working and protect lines of a 4-fiber BLSR.
Scenario 1: In a 4-fiber ring where node 1 and node 2 are adjacent nodes, there is a unidirectional signal fail on the working line into node 1 and unidirectional signal fail into the protect line of node 2. When node 1 working line failure is cleared, the ring starts wait to restore while the protect line is still failed.
Scenario 2: In a 4-fiber ring where node 1 and node 2 are adjacent nodes, there is a unidirectional signal degrade on the working line into node 1 and unidirectional signal fail into the protect line of node 2. When node 1 working line signal degrade is cleared, the ring stays ring switched until the protect line clears. Then the ring reverts. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.CSCsd37116
No password is required on CTC IOS CLI after ML card is reseated. When requesting an IOS connection for CLI through CTC, system opens immediately to the EXEC user prompt with no request for a password. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCse55726
CTC displays the wrong node if the CTC cache is not deleted. CTC behavior is consistent with that for a different NE type or version. This may result in partial or total loss of functionality in accessing the NE in question. An ACNS device must be configured to cache the HTTP response from the NE in question. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCse75849
DWDM links remain grey after a node power down cycle. When three MSTP nodes are connected by OSC links with one configured as GNE and the other two as ENE, when the GNE node is power down, all the nodes become gray. When powering up the GNE, sometimes the connected ENE nodes remain gray even after all the nodes are completely up and running. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCsg02556
OCHTRAIL and OCHCC are PARTIAL_TL1 after an activation/revert. From CTC, this issue occurs when activation is complete on a single node, with a release between 7.01 to 8.00, as part of a ring, and a revert is executed twice. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCse93291
There is DS3 traffic loss during a soft-reset of an active protect card when an unlock is issued. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCse09512
A software reset of Transponder/Muxponder cards (a whole protection group) cause External Patchcords Link to go down for twice and all the circuits momentarily goes partial. This occurs to any of Transponder/Muxponder cards in Y-cable protection connected to ROADM node via external patchcords. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCsg40898
SHELF-COMM-FAIL is raised after upgrade to 8.0 and a TCC Software reset. In a multi-shelf in secure mode in releases from 7.2 to 8.0, activation is successful. Software resets SSC active TCC. After a complete reboot, software resets NC active TCC. The SSC is lost and SHELF-COMM-FAIL is raised. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCsf23325
Rebooting of TCC while in Version-Up may result in the loss of the NE defaults for the switch on a Release 6.2.x. The user's alarm profile is lost and the system reverts to the default alarm profile.
CSCsg62116
After the hard reset of a trunk card, the WKSWPR is not always reported for path protection revertive circuit, and upon reinsertion of the card and the WTR is not always reported.
CSCsg77314
Standby TSC deletes DB without a sync from Active TSC causing an outage on the default DB. If the Standby shelf controller reboots, by design it deletes its DB and syncs. If It cannot sync, it creates a default DB. If it is called upon to be the active shelf controller, traffic is dropped. This issue has been resolved in this release and in future releases.
CSCse40756
For multiple downloads, DNLD status is only updated for one node on network view.
When downloading six 600 nodes at the same time, the download status field on CTC was updated properly on just one of the six 600 nodes. The workaround is to check-in the individual status of the download on each node. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.Hardware
CSCse74522
The LAN front panel LEDs of the standby TCC were switched OFF (i.e. no lights, port disabled). Multishelf MSTP with SSC connected to the Node Controller via Catalyst 3750.
DWDM Cards
CSCsc58941
Trunk ports of the TXPP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G can be in facility and terminal loopback at the same time. this can occur if you provision terminal loopback on the protected trunk port after putting the trunk ports in facility loopback. You can clear this condition by removing loopback provisioning on the trunk ports. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
CSCeh22604
When an MXP_MR_2.5G card is in MIXED or ESCON mode, TCA and alarm optical thresholds of Tx power for laser bias are configurable for ESCON payload, though not supported. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
Electrical IO Cards
CSCsd71602
On a four node STM16 SNCP with E1-42 cards set up in a 1:N protection group on a single node, if slots 1, 2, and 4 are designated as working cards, with slot 3 as the protect card, and with circuits provisioned on slot 1 ports, and then you fail the working card on slot 1 and the protect card takes over, and finally you alter the protection group by first removing and then replacing the working card in slot 2, CTC might fail to deny on a subsequent attempt to delete the entire protection group, in spite of the need for the protect card to continue to manage the traffic for the failed card in slot 1. Deletion of the protection group should be denied, because it can result in a loss of traffic. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
Data I/OCards
CSCsd63924
The RTRV-FAC TL1 command displays payload as FSTE instead of GIGE on the ML1000-2 card. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0.
New Features and Functionality
This section highlights new features and functionality for Release 8.0. For detailed documentation of each of these features, consult the user documentation.
New Hardware
Note
The ML-MR-10 and CE-MR-10 cards appear in the software user interface, but the cards themselves will not be available until a future release.
15454_MRC-12 Multirate Card
The 15454_MRC-12 card existed in a previous release; however, the card now supports additional PPMs, which adds to the card's functionality. The PPMs and their functionality are listed below:
•
PPM = ONS-SI-155-I1-MM (OC3/STM1 Multimode).
•
PPM = ONS-SI-622-I1-MM (OC12/STM4 Multimode).
•
PPM = ONS-SC-Z3-XXXX (OC48/STM16 CWDM), where XXXX = 1470, 1490, 1510, 1530, 1550, 1570, 1590, or 1610 nm.
•
PPM = ONS-SE-Z1 (OC48IR1, OC12/3SR1).
MRC-2.5G_12 Card
The MRC-2.5G-12 multirate card provides up to twelve OC-3/STM-1 ports, four OC-12/STM-4 ports, or one OC-48/STM-16 port using Small Form-factor Pluggables (SFPs), with total card bandwidth not exceeding OC-48/STM-16. Mixed OC-3 and OC-12 configurations are supported. OC-12/STM-4 SFPs can only be installed in Ports 1, 4, 7, and 10, and an OC-48/STM-16 SFP can only be installed in Port 1.
All ports are Telcordia GR-253 compliant. The SFP optics can use SR, IR, LR, coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM), and DWDM SFPs to support unrepeated spans.
The ports operate at up to 2488.320 Mbps over a single-mode fiber. The MRC-2.5G-12card has twelve physical connector adapters with two fibers per connector adapter (Tx and Rx). The card supports VT payloads,VC4 payloads, and concatenated payloads at VC4-1c, VC4-2c, VC4-3c, VC4-4c, VC4-8c, VC4-12c, or VC4-16c signal levels. It is fully interoperable with the ONS 15454 SDH G-Series Ethernet cards.
Each port contains a transmit and receive connector (labeled) on the card faceplate. The card supports unidirectional and bidirectional facility protection. It also supports both span and ring switching in MS-SPRing protection scheme. You can provision this card as part of an MS-SPRing, SNCP, or linear configuration.
OC-48 IR 1310 Card Support
The OC-48 IR 1310 card is not supported in the 8.0 release. The OC-48 IR 1310 card will be supported from the 8.5 release onwards.
OPT-AMP-17-C Card
The OPT-AMP-17-C card is a 17-dB gain, C-band, DWDM EDFA amplifier/preamplifier with OSC add-and-drop capability. It supports 80 channels at 50-GHz channel spacing in the C-band (that is, the 1529 nm to 1562.5 nm wavelength range). When an ONS 15454 has an OPT-AMP-17-C installed, an OSCM card is needed to process the OSC. You can install the OPT-AMP-17-C in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
The card's features include:
•
Fixed gain mode (no programmable tilt)
•
Standard gain range of 14 to 20 dB at startup when configured as a preamplifier

GE_XP and 10GE_XP Cards
The GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards are Gigabit Ethernet (GE) transponders for the ONS 15454 ANSI and ETSI platforms. The cards aggregate Ethernet packets received on the client ports for transport on the 100-GHz-grid, and have C-band trunk ports with ITU-T G.709 framing and either FEC or E-FEC. These cards are designed for bulk GE point-to-point transport over 10GE LAN PHY wavelengths for Video-on-Demand (VOD), or broadcast video across protected 10GE LAN PHY wavelengths.
The GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards can be installed in Slots 1 through 8 or 13 through 17. The GE_XP is a double-slot card with twenty GE client ports and two 10GE trunk ports. The 10GE_XP is a single-slot card with two 10GE client ports and two 10GE trunk ports. The client ports support SX, LX, and ZX SFPs and SR and 10GBASE LR XFPs. (LR2 XFPs are not supported.) The trunk ports support a DWDM XFP.
A fan-tray assembly (15454E-CC-FTA for the ETSI shelf or 15454-CC-FTA for the ANSI shelf) must be installed in a shelf where a GE_XP or 10GE_XP card is installed.
GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards can be provisioned to perform different GE transport roles. Both cards can perform as Layer 2 Ethernet switches. However, the 10GE_XP can also perform as a 10GE TXP, and the GE_XP can perform as a 10GE or 20GE MXP.
Note
Changing the GE_XP and 10GE_XP card mode requires the ports to be in a OOS-DSBL (ANSI) or locked, disabled (ETSI) service state. In addition, no circuits can be provisioned on the cards when the mode is being changed.
Fan Tray Assembly
The 15454-CC-FTA fan tray assembly power requirements are: 115 W, 2.4 A, and 393 BTU/hr.
40-WSS-C Card
The double-slot 40-channel Wavelength Selective Switch C-Band (40-WSS-C) card switches 40 ITU-T 100-GHz-spaced channels and sends them to dedicated output ports. The 40-WSS-C card is bidirectional and optically passive. The card can be installed into Slots 1 to 6, and into Slot 12 to 17.
The 40-WSS-C features include:
•
Receipt of an aggregate DWDM signal into 40 output optical channels from the Line receive port (EXP RX) in one direction and from the COM-RX port in the other direction.
•
Per-channel optical power monitoring using photodiodes.
•
Signal splitting in a 70%-to-30% ratio, sent to the 40-DMX-C for dropping signals, then to the other 40-WSS-C card.
•
Aggregate DWDM signal monitoring and control through a variable optical attenuator (VOA). In the case of electrical power failure, the VOA is set to its maximum attenuation for safety purposes. A manual VOA setting is also available.
Within the 40-WSS-C card, the first AWG opens the spectrum and each wavelength is directed to one of the ports of a 1x2 optical switch. The same wavelength can be passed through or stopped. If the pass-through wavelength is stopped, a new channel can be added at the ADD port. The card's second AWG multiplexes all of the wavelengths, and the aggregate signal is output through the COM-TX port.
40-DMX-C Card
The single-slot 40-Channel Demultiplexer C-band (40-DMX-C) card demultiplexes 40 100-GHz-spaced channels identified in the channel plan and sends them to dedicated output ports. The overall optical power can be adjusted using a single VOA that is common to all channels. The 40-DMX-C card is unidirectional, optically passive, and can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
40-DMX-C Faceplate Ports
The 40-DMX-C has two types of ports:
•
COM RX port: COM RX is the line input port for the aggregate optical signal being demultiplexed. This port is supported by a VOA for optical power regulation and a photodiode for per-channel optical power monitoring.
Note
By default, the VOA is set to its maximum attenuation for safety purposes (for example, electrical power failure). A manual VOA setting is also available.
•
DROP TX ports (1 to 40): On its output, the 40-DMX-C card provides 40 drop ports that are typically used for dropping channels within the ROADM node. These ports are connected using five physical connectors on the front panel that accept MPO client input cables. (MPO cables break out into eight separate cables.) The 40-DMX-C card also has one LC-PC-II optical connector for the main input.
40-MUX-C Card
The single-slot 40-Channel Multiplexer C-band (40-MUX-C) card multiplexes forty ITU-T 100-GHz-spaced channels. The 40-MUX-C card can be installed into Slots 1 to 6, and into Slots 12 to 17. The 40-MUX-C card is typically used in hub nodes.
40-MUX-C Faceplate Ports
The 40-MUX-C has two types of ports:
•
COM TX port: COM TX is the line output port for the aggregate optical signal being multiplexed. This port is supported by both a VOA for optical power regulation and a photodiode for per-channel optical power monitoring.
Note
By default, the VOA is set to its maximum attenuation for safety purposes (for example, electrical power failure). A manual VOA setting is also available.
•
DROP RX ports (1 to 40): The 40-MUX-C card provides 40 input optical channels. These ports are connected using five physical receive connectors on the card's front panel that accept MPO cables for the client input interfaces. MPO cables break out into eight separate cables. The 40-DMX-C card also has one LC-PC-II optical connector for the main output.
40-WXC-C Card
The double-slot 40-channel Wavelength Cross-Connect C Band (40-WXC-C) card selectively sends any wavelength combination coming from nine input ports to a common output port. The device can manage up to 41 channels spaced at 100 GHz on each port. Each channel can be selected from any input. The card is optically passive and provides bidirectional capability. It can be installed into Slots 1 to 6, and into Slots 12 to 17.
.The 40-WXC-C card provides the following features:
•
Demultiplexing, selection, and multiplexing of a DWDM aggregate signal from input ports to a common output port.
•
Aggregate DWDM signal monitoring and control through a VOA.
•
VOAs are deployed in every channel path in order to regulate the channel's optical power. In the case of an electrical power failure, VOAs are set to their maximum attenuation value, or to a fixed and configurable one. The VOA can also be set manually.
•
Per-channel optical power monitoring using photodiodes.
The 40-WXC-C card acts as a selector element with the following characteristics:
•
It is able to select a wavelength from one input port and pass the wavelength through to the common out port. Simultaneously, the card can block the same wavelength coming from the other eight input ports.
•
It is able to stop wavelengths from all nine inputs.
•
It is able to monitor optical power and control path attenuation using per-channel VOA independently of the wavelength input-to-out port connection.
40-WXC-C Faceplate Ports
The 40-WXC-C card has six types of ports:
•
COM RX: The COM RX port receives the optical signal from a preamplifier (such as the OPT-PRE) and sends it to the optical splitter.
•
COM TX: The COM TX port sends an aggregate optical signal to a booster amplifier card (for example, the OPT-BST card) for transmission outside of the NE.
•
EXP TX: The EXP TX port sends an optical signal to the other 40-WXC-C card within the NE.
•
MON TX: The optical service channel (OSC) monitor.
•
ADD/DROP RX: The 40-WXC-C card provides 40 input optical channels. These ports are connected using five physical receive connectors on the card's front panel that accept MPO cables for the client input interfaces. MPO cables break out into eight separate cables.
•
ADD/DROP TX: The DROP TX port sends the split off optical signal that contains drop channels to the 40-WXC-C card, where the channels are further processed and dropped.
PM Threshold Reset Button
In node view, you can double-click the card where you want to view PM thresholds, and click the Reset button in CTC to reset the values of all PM thresholds to the default threshold values saved on the NE.
CTC displays a confirmation dialog of the default threshold values in the applicable threshold panel when you click the one-button threshold reset.
CTC supports the one-button reset (reset to default thresholds) for all Electrical, SONET, SDH, and Optical PM thresholds.
New Software Features and Functionality
CTC Launcher 8.0
The CTC Launcher application is an executable file, StartCTC.exe, that is provided on Software Release 8.0 CDs for Cisco ONS products. You can use CTC Launcher to log into multiple ONS nodes that are running CTC Software Release 3.3 or higher, without using a web browser.
CTC Launcher provides two connection options. The first option is used to connect to ONS network elements (NEs) that have an IP connection to the CTC computer. The second option is used to connect to ONS NEs that reside behind third party, OSI-based gateway network elements (GNEs). For this option, CTC Launcher creates a TL1 tunnel to transport the TCP traffic through the OSI-based GNE.
The TL1 tunnel transports the TCP traffic to and from ONS ENEs through the OSI-based GNE. TL1 tunnels are similar to the existing static IP-over-CLNS tunnels GRE and Cisco IP that can be created at ONS NEs using CTC. (Refer to the Cisco ONS product documentation for information about static IP-over-CLNS tunnels.) However, unlike the static IP-over-CLNS tunnels, TL1 tunnels require no provisioning at the ONS ENE, the third-party GNE, or DCN routers. All provisioning occurs at the CTC computer when the CTC Launcher is started.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
In Software Release 8.0.0, ML100T-12, ML1000-2, ML100T-8, and CE-100T-8 cards can utilize the link aggregation control protocol (LACP) to govern reciprocal peer packet transmission with respect to LACP's detection of flawed packets. The cards' ports transport a signal transparently (that is, without intervention or termination).
Passive Mode and Active Mode
Passive mode or active are configured for a port in IEEE 802.17 RPR mode. They differ in how they direct a card to transmit packets: In passive mode, the LACP resident on the node transmits packets only after it receives reciprocal valid packets from the peer node. In active mode, both peers transmit packets without determining the validity of what they receive.
LACP Functions
LACP performs the following functions in the system:
•
Maintains configuration information in order to control aggregation
•
Exchanges configuration information with other peer devices
•
Attaches or detaches ports from the link aggregation group based on the exchanged configuration information
•
Enables data flow when both sides of the aggregation group are synchronized
In addition, LACP provides the following benefits:
•
Logical aggregation of bandwidth
•
Load balancing
•
Fault tolerance
SFP Management Completion
Supported services (rates, wavelengths, formats, reach, and so on) are encoded in the EEPROMs of SFPs and XFPs following industry standards. PPMs (SFPs or XFPs) that do not follow this standard cannot be read by the platform and are referred to as Unrecognized PPMs.
PPMs that are inserted into a card may be checked for the validity of an MD5 security code. PPMs failing this test are referred to as non-Cisco PPMs. PPMs passing this test as referred to in this document as Cisco PPMs.
Different cards are tested with a limited subset of Cisco PPMs. Customers are encouraged to use these PPMs, referred to as Qualified Cisco PPMs (for the particular card). Since each card supports different services (rates and formats), a PPM qualified for one card is not necessarily qualified for another. For example, a PPM qualified to work on a DWDM card may not be qualified to work on a SONET card. Cisco PPMs that are not recommended for use with a particular card are termed Unqualified Cisco PPMs (for the particular card).
Note
This feature may not be described in the Release 8.0 documentation
Y-Cable Protection
Y-cable protection is offered on the GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards, both new to release 8.0. The GE_XP card supports Y-cable protection when it is provisioned in 10GE or 20GE MXP card mode. The 10GE_XP supports Y-cable protection when it is provisioned in 10GE TXP card mode. Two cards can be joined in a Y-cable protection group with one card assigned as the working card and the other defined as the protection card. This protection mechanism provides redundant bidirectional paths. The Y-protection mechanism is provisionable and can be set ON or OFF (OFF is the default mode). When a signal fault is detected (LOS, LOF, SD, or SF on the DWDM receiver port in the case of ITU-T G.709 mode) the protection mechanism software automatically switches between paths.
ML-AINS and other Enhanced State Model (ESM) changes.
Several changes ave been made to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH alarms and transient conditions. See the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide for more details.
DISA Password Complexity, Max Password Length, Min Password Length.
The password length, by default, must be set to a minimum of six and a maximum of 20 characters. You can configure the default values in node view through Provisioning > NE Defaults > Node > security > passwordComplexity. The minimum length can be set to eight, ten or twelve characters, and the maximum length to 80 characters. The password must be a combination of alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and special (+, #,%) characters, where at least two characters are non alphabetic and at least one character is a special character. For TL1 compatibility, the password must be 6 to 10 characters. The password must not contain the user name.
Required JRE Version is 5.0
JRE version 5.0 was optional in Release 7.0. It is required for release 8.0 that JRE be version 5.0.
Solaris 10 Supported.
Solaris 10 is supported in release 8.0
Mozilla 1.7 Supported on Solaris 9 with Java plug-in 5.0.
Mozilla 1.7 on Solaris 9 with Java plug-in 5.0 is supported in release 8.0.
E1 SDH Timing
On the Cisco ONS 15454 chassis, the TCC2P card supports typical external E1 SDH timing sources so that the card can be provisioned to accept either an SDH or SONET timing standard. The initial default is for the card to use SONET timing; the default can be changed to SDH timing after the TCC2P card boots up. The BITS OUT clock runs at a rate determined by the BITS IN clock, as follows:
· If BITS IN = E1, then BITS OUT = E1
· If BITS IN = 2.048 MHz (square wave clock), then BITS OUT = 2.048 MHz (square wave clock)
· If BITS IN = 64 kHz, then BITS OUT = 6.312 MHz
The TCC2P card supports the E1 BITS OUT signal as defined in ITU-T G.703 Section 9, and the BITS OUT 2.048 MHz signal as defined in ITU-T G.703 Section 13. All of the BITS OUT signals meet the output signal criteria (including jitter and wander) as defined in ITU-T G.813 Sections 5 and 6, ITU-T G.811 Section 5, and ITU-T G.812, Section 6.
When SDH timing is selected, SDH Sync Status Messaging (SSM) is transmitted on the output ports and received on the input ports. SSM can be enabled or disabled.
The following framing options are allowed when E1 2.048 MHz timing is selected:
· Frame Alignment Signal (FAS)
· Frame Alignment Signal plus Channel Associated Signal (FAS + CAS)
· Frame Alignment Signal plus Cyclic Redundancy Check (FAS + CRC)
· Frame Alignment Signal plus Channel Associated Signal plus Cyclic Redundancy Check (FAS + CAS + CRC)
ML Version Up
The Version Up software upgrade feature allows users to independently upgrade ML-Series cards as part of an overall software upgrade process. With this feature enabled, the user first upgrades all the cards in the node that are not ML-Series cards, then in a second pass updates the ML-Series cards. Version Up is disabled by default.
The user can initiate individual upgrades for each ML-Series card or upgrade all the ML-Series cards at the same time. In the case of redundant ML-Series cards, individual upgrades allow time to verify the proper operation of the first card before the second card is upgraded. No ML-Series cards are updated until the user specifically requests it.
The user can perform a Version Up upgrade with CTC or Cisco Transport Manager (CTM). The Version Up feature is only supported on the ONS 15454 and SDH platforms. TL1 does not support the Version Up feature, and you cannot enter TL1 commands during the Version Up process.
IPv6
Cisco ONS 15xxx products can function in an IPv6 network when an internet router that supports Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) is positioned between the GNE, such as an ONS 15454, and the client workstation. NAT-PT is defined in RFC-2766. IPv4 and IPv6 nodes communicate with each other using NAT-PT by allowing both IPv6 and IPv4 stacks to interface between the IPv6 DCN and the IPv4 DCC networks.
NAT-PT binds addresses in IPv6 networks with addresses in IPv4 networks and vice versa to provide transparent routing for the packets traveling between address types. This requires no changes to end nodes and IP packet routing is completely transparent to end nodes. It does, however, require NAT-PT to track the sessions it supports and mandates that inbound and outbound datagrams pertaining to a session traverse the same NAT-PT router. Protocol translation is used to extend address translation with protocol syntax/semantics translation.
Superuser Privileges for Provisioning Users
Superusers can grant permission to Provisioning users to perform a set of tasks. The tasks include retrieving audit logs, restoring databases, clearing PMs, and activating and reverting software loads. These privileges can be set only through CTC network element (NE) defaults, except the PM clearing privilege, which can be granted to Provisioning users using CTC Provisioning> Security > Access tabs. For more information on setting up Superuser privileges, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Y-Cable Protection
Y-cable protection is offered on the GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards, both new to release 8.0. The GE_XP card supports Y-cable protection when it is provisioned in 10GE or 20GE MXP card mode. The 10GE_XP supports Y-cable protection when it is provisioned in 10GE TXP card mode. Two cards can be joined in a Y-cable protection group with one card assigned as the working card and the other defined as the protection card. This protection mechanism provides redundant bidirectional paths. The Y-protection mechanism is provisionable and can be set ON or OFF (OFF is the default mode). When a signal fault is detected (LOS, LOF, SD, or SF on the DWDM receiver port in the case of ITU-T G.709 mode) the protection mechanism software automatically switches between paths.
Hub Node
A hub node is a single ONS 15454 SDH node equipped with two TCC2/TCC2P cards and one of the following combinations:
•
Two 32MUX-O cards and two 32DMX-O or 32DMX cards
•
Two 32WSS cards and two 32DMX or 32DMX-O cards
•
Two 32WSS-L cards and two 32DMX-L cards
•
Two 40-WSS-C cards and two 40-DMX-C cards
Note
The 32WSS/32WSS-L/40-WSS-C and 32DMX/32DMX-L/40-DMX-C cards are normally installed in ROADM nodes, but they can also be installed in hub and terminal nodes. If the cards are installed in a hub node, the 32WSS/32WSS-L/40-WSS-C express ports (EXP RX and EXP TX) are not cabled.
A dispersion compensation unit (DCU) can also be added, if necessary. The hub node does not support both DWDM and time-division multiplexing (TDM) applications because the DWDM slot requirements do not provide room for TDM cards.
ROADM Node
A ROADM node adds and drops wavelengths without changing the physical fiber connections. A ROADM node is equipped with two TCC2/TCC2P cards and one of the following combinations:
•
Two 32WSS cards and, optionally, two 32DMX or 32DMX-O cards
•
Two 32WSS-L cards and, optionally, two 32DMX-L cards
•
Two 40-WSS-C cards and, optionally, two 40-DMX-C cards
Transponders (TXPs) and muxponders (MXPs) can be installed in Slots 6 and 12 and, if amplification is not used, in any open slot.
Note
Although not required, 32DMX-O can be used in an ROADM node. Cisco MetroPlanner automatically chooses the demultiplexer card that is best for the ROADM node based on the network requirements.
Terminal Node
A terminal node is a single ONS 15454 SDH node equipped with two TCC2/TCC2P cards and one of the following combinations:
•
One 32MUX-O card and one 32DMX-O card
•
One 32WSS card and either a 32DMX or a 32DMX-O card
•
One 32WSS-L card and one 32DMX-L card
•
One 40-WSS-C card and one 40-DMX-C card
•
One 40-MUX-C and one 40-DMX-C card
Terminal nodes can be installed in Slots 1 through 6 or Slots 12 through 17. The side where cards are installed is always assigned as Side A. The channel flow for a terminal node is the same as the hub node.
Configuring Mesh DWDM Networks
ONS 15454 shelves can be configured in mesh DWDM networks using the 40-WXC-C wavelength cross-connect cards, multishelf provisioning, and the 40-channel patch panel, four-degree patch panel, and eight-degree patch panels. ONS 15454 DWDM mesh configurations can be up to four degrees (four optical directions) when the four-degree patch panel patch panel is installed, and up to eight degrees (eight optical directions) when the eight-degree patch panel is installed. Two mesh node types are available, the line termination mesh node and the cross-connect (XC) termination mesh node.
Line Amplifier Node
A line amplifier node is a single ONS 15454 node that is used to amplify the optical signal in long spans. The line amplifier node can be equipped with one of the following sets of cards:
•
Two OPT-PRE cards, two OPT-BST cards, and two OSCM cards
•
Two OPT-PRE cards and two OSC-CSM cards
•
Two OPT-AMP-17-C cards and two OSCM cards
Attenuators might also be required between each preamplifier and OPT-BST amplifier to match the optical input power value and to maintain the amplifier gain tilt value.
Two OSCM cards are connected to the OPT-BST cards to multiplex the OSC signal with the pass-though channels. If the node does not contain an OPT-BST card, OSC-CSM cards must be installed instead of OSCM cards.
DCN Extension
MSTP Intelligent Network applications has a communication channel to exchange data among different nodes. DCN Extension removes OSC constraint, when OSC is a penalty, leveraging on the external DCN (in Metro-access networks) or GCC/DCC that is already available (for LH). For instance in HUB Traffic, the Matrix HUB node can be connected to all other nodes by the GCC/DCC link, so by HUB node, a CTC or TL1 user can reach all other sites belonging to the same network.
Note
This feature may not be described in the Release 8.0 documentation
Optical Sides
Note
This has been updated to include the 40-WXC-C card
When 40-WXC-C cards are installed, DWDM nodes configured in multishelf mode can be connected to up to eight different spans. The sides are identified by the letters, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. Sides are viewed and managed from the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Optical Sides tab. Each side identifies a span to which the node is connected.
Note
Side A and Side B replace "west" and "east" when referring to the two sides of the ONS 15454 shelf. Side A refers to Slots 1 through 6 (formerly "west"), and Side B refers to Slots 12 through 17 (formerly "east"). The line direction port parameter, East-to-West and West-to-East, has been removed.
Virtual Patchcords
TXP, MXP, TXPP, MXPP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, and ADM-10G client ports and DWDM filter ports can be located in different nodes or in the same single-shelf or multishelf node. ITU-T line card trunk ports and the corresponding DWDM filter ports are usually located in different nodes.
OCHCC provisioning requires a virtual patchcord between the client card trunk ports and the DWDM filter ports. Depending on the physical layout, this can be an internal patchcord or a provisionable (external) patchcord (PPC). Both patchcord types are bidirectional. However, each direction is managed as a separate patchcord.
Internal patchcords provide virtual links between the two sides of a DWDM shelf, either in single-shelf or multishelf mode. They are viewed and managed on the Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Internal Patchcords tab.
CTC calculates internal patchcords automatically after you click the Default Patchcords button on the Internal Patchcords tab. However, some internal patchcords cannot be calculated because of the card types that are installed and/or the card positions within a shelf. These internal patchcords must be created manually. For example, internal patchcords related to optical bypass circuits must be manually provisioned. When you create an internal patchcord manually, the Internal Patchcord Creation wizard asks you to choose one of the following internal patchcord types:
•
OCH-Trunk to OCH-Filter—Creates an internal patchcord between the trunk port of a TXP, MXP, GE_XP, 10GE_XP, or ITU-T line card, and an OCH filter card (wavelength selective switch, multiplexer, or demultiplexer).
•
OTS/OCH to OTS/OCH—Creates an internal patchcord between two OTS OCH ports.
Automatic Node Setup
Automatic node setup (ANS) is a TCC2/TCC2P function that adjusts values of the variable optical attenuators (VOAs) on the DWDM channel paths to equalize the per-channel power at the amplifier input. This power equalization means that at launch, all channels have the same amplifier power, independent from the input signal on the client interface and independent from the path crossed by the signal inside the node. This equalization is needed for two reasons:
•
Every path introduces a different penalty on the signal that crosses it.
•
Client interfaces add their signal to the ONS 15454 DWDM ring with different power levels.
To support ANS, integrated VOAs and photodiodes are provided in the following cards:
•
AD-xB-xx.x card express and drop paths
•
AD-xC-xx.x card express and add paths
•
4MD-xx.x card add paths
•
32MUX-O card add paths
•
32WSS/40-WSS-C/40-WXC-C add and pass through paths
•
32DMX-O card drop paths
•
32DMX, 40-DMX-C card input port
•
40-MUX-C card output port
Optical power is equalized by regulating the VOAs. Based on the expected per-channel power, ANS automatically calculates the VOA values by:
•
Reconstructing the different channels paths.
•
Retrieving the path insertion loss (stored in each DWDM transmission element).VOAs operate in one of three working modes:
•
Automatic VOA Shutdown—In this mode, the VOA is set at maximum attenuation value. Automatic VOA shutdown mode is set when the channel is not provisioned to ensure system reliability in the event that power is accidentally inserted.
•
Constant Attenuation Value—In this mode, the VOA is regulated to a constant attenuation independent from the value of the input signal. Constant attenuation value mode is set on VOAs associated to aggregated paths.
•
Constant Power Value—In this mode, the VOA values are automatically regulated to keep a constant output power when changes occur to the input power signal. This working condition is set on VOAs associated to a single channel path.
ANS calculates the following VOA provisioning parameters:
•
Target attenuation
•
Target power
To allow you to modify ANS values based on your DWDM network requirements, provisioning parameters are divided into two contributions:
•
Reference Contribution—(Display only) This value is set by ANS.
•
Calibration Contribution—This value can be set by the user.
To complete the equalization, ANS requires the following information:
•
The order in which DWDM cards are connected together on the express paths.
•
The number of channels that are add or dropped.
•
The number of channels and/or bands that are configured as passthrough.
ANS assumes that every DWDM port is associated to one on the node side. The port-to-side association is based on node layout deriving from provisioned (or automatically calculated) internal patchcords.
From CTC or TL1 you can:
•
Calculate the default connections on the NE.
•
Retrieve the list of existing connections.
•
Retrieve the list of free ports.
•
Create new connections or modify existing ones.
•
Launch ANS.
After you launch ANS, one of the following statuses is provided for each ANS parameter:
•
Success - Changed—The parameter setpoint was recalculated successfully.
•
Success - Unchanged—The parameter setpoint did not need recalculation.
•
Unchanged - Port in IS state—ANS could not modify the setpoint because the ports in an IS state.
•
Not Applicable—The parameter setpoint does not apply to this node type.
•
Fail - Out of Range—The calculated setpoint is outside the expected range.
•
Fail - Missing Input Parameter—The parameter could not be calculated because the required provisioning data is unknown or not available.
Optical patchcords are passive devices that are modeled by the two termination points, each with an assigned slot and port. If user-provisioned optical patchcords exist, ANS checks that the new connection is feasible (according to internal connection rules) and returns a denied message if the user connection violates one of the rules. ANS requires the expected wavelength to be provisioned. When provisioning the expected wavelength, the following rules apply:
•
The card name is generically characterized by the card family, and not the particular wavelengths supported (for example, AD-2C-xx.x for all two-channel OADMs).
•
At the provisioning layer, you can provision a generic card for a specific slot using CTC or TL1.
•
Wavelength assignment is done at the port level.
•
An equipment mismatch alarm is raised when a mismatch between the identified and provisioned value occurs. The default value for the provisioned attribute is AUTO.
ONS 15454 ANS parameters set the values required for the node to operate successfully. Cisco MetroPlanner calculates the ANS parameters based on the requirements for a planned network. Cisco MetroPlanner exports the parameters to an ASCII, NE Update file. The NE Update file can then be imported by CTC to automatically provision the node for the network. All ANS parameters can be viewed and manually modified from the node view Provisioning > WDM-ANS > Provisioning tab.
Installation without Cisco MetroPlanner
Installation without Cisco MetroPlanner allows you to provision ONS 15454 automatic node setup (ANS) parameters without the Cisco MetroPlanner NE Update file. Instead, Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) provisions the ANS parameters using the data values that are calculated from the far-end nodes.
However, because of the requirements and complexity of the installation-without-Cisco-MetroPlanner sequence, Cisco recommends that you do not use installation without Cisco MetroPlanner unless it is absolutely required.
Note
The installation-without-Cisco-MetroPlanner feature enables you to turn up network nodes without the Cisco MetroPlanner NE Update file. However, you must use Cisco MetroPlanner to create the network design to ensure an implementation using the installation-without-Cisco-MetroPlanner is feasible.
Note
Unless otherwise specified, "ONS 15454" refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.
CautionThis feature requires planning and preparation. Do not begin until you have a full understanding of the requirements and turn-up sequence.
During normal ONS 15454 turn up, a Cisco MetroPlanner NE Update file is imported into each ONS 15454 node and used by CTC to provision the ONS 15454 ANS parameters. The NE Update file ensures that all node parameters are set to levels that meet the specific requirements of your network. Installation without Cisco MetroPlanner provides a method for calculating the required installation values without the NE Update file. ANS uses the calculated values to provision the node parameters.
Installation without Cisco MetroPlanner requires physical and optical service channel (OSC) connections to far-end nodes. For example, let's say Node B is to be provisioned using installation without Cisco MetroPlanner. If only one far-end node, Node A, is connected, installation without Cisco MetroPlanner retrieves values to provision the side that is connected to Node A (Step 1). If a third node, Node C, is later connected to Node B, installation without Cisco MetroPlanner must be run again to provision the side connected to Node C (Step 2). Alternatively, installation without Cisco MetroPlanner can be run after both far-end nodes are connected, meaning the installation values are retrieved for both Node A and Node C at one time (Steps 1 and 2 combined).
The same sequence must be repeated at each network node. After Node B is provisioned, you move to Node C. If it is connected to Node B only, installation must be run twice, once for the Node B side. If Node D is connected later, installation without Cisco MetroPlanner must be run again. If Node C is connected to Nodes B and D, installation without Cisco MetroPlanner can be run once to provision Node C.
Requirements
The following requirements must be met before you can use the installation without Cisco MetroPlanner feature:
•
The network design must be prepared using Cisco MetroPlanner. Choose the installation-without-MetroPlanner option during network design. Cisco MetroPlanner will determine whether an installation without Cisco MetroPlanner is possible for your network (that is, whether the ANS parameters can be provisioned without the Cisco MetroPlanner NE Update file). If so, Cisco MetroPlanner designs the network assuming that you will use installation without
Cisco MetroPlanner to turn up the network nodes.
•
OPT-PRE amplifier cards are required. If you choose the installation-without-MetroPlanner option in the Cisco MetroPlanner design, it will include OPT-PRE cards in all the network nodes.
•
Installation without Cisco MetroPlanner is available only for networks that are designed for a flat optical power spectrum (tilt = 0) transmitted over the optical fiber links.
•
Cross-connect (XC) termination meshed nodes are not supported.
•
Installation without Cisco MetroPlanner is not available over C+L (networks that have both C-band and L-band channels) or 50 Ghz networks.
•
Installation without Cisco MetroPlanner is not available on links using data communications network (DCN) extension. OSC connectivity is required.
View DWDM Facilities
This feature allows you to display DWDM facility information for all facilities in a node (single-shelf mode), shelf view (multishelf mode), or multishelf node (multishelf mode). The feature requires a maintenance security level and higher.
In node view (single-shelf mode), shelf view (multishelf mode), or multishelf view (multishelf mode), you can use the Maintenance > DWDM> All Facilities tabs to access the following display controls:
•
Marked—Displays a check mark if you have designated the facility for logical grouping (to mark certain facilities to group during column sorting, click the desired row and click Mark. A check mark appears in the Marked column. Click the Marked column header to group all of the checked facilities in ascending order. Click the Marked header again to sort in descending order).
•
Location—Displays the slot number, slot type, port number, and port type of the facility.
•
Admin State—Displays the administrative state of the facility.
•
Service State—Displays the service state of the facility.
•
Power—Displays the power level of the facility.
To sort the facilities by the Location, Admin State, Service State, or Power columns in ascending order, you can click on the desired column header. Click the column header again to sort in descending order.
Creating and Deleting OCHCCs
To create an OCHCC, you must know the client port states and their parameters. If the client port state is IS/Unlocked, OCHCC creation fails if OTN line parameters (ITU-T G.709, FEC, signal fail bit error rate (SF BER)), and signal degrade bit error rate (SD BER) on the OCHCC differ from what is provisioned on the trunk port. The port state must be changed to OOS-DSLB/Locked, disabled in order to complete the OCHCC.
If you delete an OCHCC, you can specify the administrative state to apply to the client card ports. For example, you can have the ports placed in OOS, DSBLD/Locked, disabled state after an OCHCC is deleted. If you delete an OCHCC that originates and terminates on MXP cards, the MXP trunk port states can only be changed if the trunk ports do not carry other OCHCCs.
