Introduction
Cisco Prime Optical (formerly Cisco Transport Manager) is a carrier-class, multitechnology management system that integrates the end-to-end management of traditional transport networks and new carrier packet transport networks. It can help maintain the integrity of existing services, plus deliver interactive, content-based services and high-bandwidth applications.
Cisco Prime Optical manages the entire Cisco optical portfolio, including:
- Metro core
- Metro dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
- Metro edge and access products
- Cisco Network Convergence System (NCS) 2002 and NCS 2006
- Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) System products
Prime Optical also serves as a foundation for integration into a larger overall Operations Support System (OSS) environment by providing northbound gateway interfaces to higher-layer management systems.
Functionality Added in Cisco Prime Optical 10.6.2
Additional Support for 100GS-CK-LC, 200G-CK-LC, 400G-XP LC, and MR-MXP cards
Prime Optical 10.6.2 provides trunk configuration, alien wavelength, TP tunnel, 16G-Fiber Channel payload, and interoperability support for the cards.
Trunk Configuration and Alien Wavelength Support
Note The new trunk mode values (100G and 200 G) are supported only for 100GS-CK-LC and 200G-CK-LC cards.
Circuit Options
For 200G-CK-LC and MR-MXP cards:
When you create multiple Optical Channel Client Connections (OCHCC) circuits on the same OCHTrail, the wavelength and WSON parameters are enabled only for the first OCHCC circuit created.
The parameters are disabled for the second OCHCC circuit created. This implies that only for the first circuit creation, the OCHT circuits can be modified. They cannot be modified later.
400G-XP-LC Enhancements
– OTU2—This payload is supported only on the QSFP-4X10G-MLR pluggable. The payload can be provisioned for the OPM_10x10G slice mode for any trunk configuration.
– 16G FC—This payload is supported only on the ONS-QC+-4X16FC-MM pluggable. A new operating mode, OPM_6x16G_FC is introduced to support this payload on ports 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. This operating mode can be provisioned on any slice, with trunk configuration set to M_100G and M_200G. The slice configuration includes the OPM_6x16G_FC option.
– TPs are discovered in the circuit wizard with FC16G payload for OCHCC. For OCHT, the TPs discovered must have a trunk payload along with the wavelength or tunable wavelength.
– Circuit create, edit, and delete options for OCHCC on 16G ports and the corresponding OCHTrail.
– Circuit discovery of 16GFC on 400G-XP-LC card in the Circuit Report and Circuit Table .
- The new trunk mode values (100G and 200 G) are supported only for 400G-XP-LC cards.
- Loopback—The following loopback types are supported:
– Client ports—Terminal (Inward), Facility (Line)
MR-MXP Enhancements
- Support for client payloads—OC192/STM64 and OTU2 client payloads are supported on the MR-MXP card in MXP-200G , MXP-10x10G-100G , MXP-CK-100G , and MXP-100G operating modes. OC192/STM64 and OTU2 client payloads are supported only when the sub OpMode is OPM_10x10G on the MR-MXP card. The new client payloads OC192/STM64 and OTU2 are supported on ONS-QSFP-4x10-MLR pluggable for the MR-MXP card.
- For the client ports of MR-MXP cards, OCHCC circuits are created with the supporting trail of 100G-LC-C , 100G-CK-C , 100GS-CK-LC , and 200G-CK-LC cards. The OCHCC created circuits are visible in the Circuit Report and Circuit Table .
- You can create, delete, preroute the OCHCC circuits with the new payloads. Also, you can edit the corresponding OCHTrail.
Interoperability for 200G-CK LC Cards
The 200G-CK LC in the OTN Line settings can be configured to interoperate with other devices. The Interop Mode option is available on the full PID, NCS2K-200G-CK, and on the licensed PID, NCS2K-200G-CK-LIC, when license L-NCS2K-DQPSK-LH= is active. The available options are Enable and None.
Note This parameter is enabled when the FEC mode is 7% HG-FEC and the provisioning is allowed only with the OOS-DSBLD trunk port.
Card Support
The following cards are supported in NCS 2015 :
The 40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C cards are supported on M15 chassis from slot 2-7 on NCS2000 with the legacy package.
There are two types of NCS nodes:
- Flex NCS Node—Node that supports Flex Spectrum functionality and up to 96 channels in the ITU-T C band.
- Fixed Grid NCS Node—Node that supports fixed 80 channels in the ITU-T C band.
The following cards are supported in Flex NCS node.
Note The support for the above cards are now extended on NCS-Flex SW package. The cards are now supported only on the M12 shelf with TCC3 subtended on a NC with M6 or M15 shelves.
Third-Party Tools Support
The third-party tools have been upgraded for Prime Optical 10.6.2. For more information, see Open Source Used in Cisco Prime Optical 10.6.2.
Prime Optical-Supported NE Software Releases
Before updating the software image on an NE, verify whether the NE software version is supported in this Prime Optical release. If you add an unsupported NE software version, the Prime Optical server might not communicate with one or more NEs in the domain, causing erroneous behavior.
For a list of NE software releases supported in Prime Optical releases, see Cisco Prime Optical Supported Devices .
Resolved Caveats
Table 1 lists caveats that are resolved in Prime Optical 10.6.2.
Note The following caveats might contain references to the former Cisco Transport Manager (CTM) product name.
Open Caveats
Using the Bug Search Tool to View Caveat Information
This section explains how to use the Bug Search Tool to search for a specific bug or to search for all bugs in a release.
Step 1 Go to https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/ .
Step 2 At the Log In screen, enter your registered Cisco.com username and password then, click Log In . The Bug Toolkit page opens.
Note If you do not have a Cisco.com username and password, you can register for them at http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do.
Step 3 To search for a specific bug, enter the bug ID in the Search For field and press Enter .
Step 4 To search for bugs in the current release:
a. To search for bugs in the current release, click Select from list link.
The Select Product page is displayed.
b. Choose Cloud and Systems Management > Optical Management > Cisco Prime Optical > Cisco Prime Optical 10.6.
d. When the search results are displayed, use the filter tools to find the types of bugs you are looking for. You can search for bugs by status, severity, modified date, and so forth.
Note In the search results, the headlines and Release note enclosures might contain both Cisco Prime Optical and Cisco Transport Manager product names. For example, if a bug applies to both Prime Optical 10.6 and CTM 9.2, the headline and Release-note enclosure contain the earlier CTM product terminology.
Tip To export the results to a spreadsheet, click the Export Results to Excel link.
