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
•New 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.
New Features and Functionality
Prime Optical 9.5. is an update to Cisco Prime Optical 9.3.1.

Prime Optical provides an Audit Report page that gives information about NE devices. |
Support for Prime Optical Interactive Database Console to manage the database |
When the server is installed with an embedded database, Prime Optical Interactive Database Console can be used to access the database and Prime Optical schema objects. |
|
Optical Enhancements
|
Support for AR_MXP and AR_XP |
The Any-Rate Muxponder (AR_MXP) and Any-Rate Xponder (AR_XP) cards are supported on ONS 15454, ONS 15454 M2, and ONS 15454 M6 platforms. |
Support for Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) circuits |
GMPLS is based on MPLS, with protocol extensions to support additional technologies, including time division multiplexing (TDM) slots (such as SONET and SDH), wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) wavelengths at Layer 1, and fiber. You can manage the following using GMPLS circuits: •Provisioning optical channels (OCHCC, OCHNC, and OCH Trail) •Circuit promotion •Validating optical circuits taking into account optical impairments •Rerouting wavelength for traffic restoration •Fiber attributes and alien wavelength provisioning |
|
|
CPT 200 platform managed as a CPT NE |
In Prime Optical 9.3 and Prime Optical 9.3.1, the CPT 200 platform was managed as ONS 15454 SONET/ONS 15454 SDH NEs. In Prime Optical 9.5, the CPT 200 platform is managed as a CPT NE. |
CPT 600 platform managed as a CPT NE |
In Prime Optical 9.3 and Prime Optical 9.3.1, the CPT 600 platforms were managed as ONS 15454 SONET/ONS 15454 SDH NEs. In Prime Optical 9.5, the CPT 600 platform is managed as a CPT NE. |
Support for VLAN attributes and Match All criteria in Class Maps |
VLAN attributes are supported. Enter a value from 1 to 4094 in the VLAN field or ranges of VLANs [1-4094]. You can enter up to 30 values. You can select the Match All criteria when creating a class map. |
Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) and IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol support on the CPT System |
A separate external TDM circuit is required to provide synchronized timing to multiple remote NEs for packet transport networks such as the CPT System. The Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) feature addresses this requirement by providing effective timing to the remote NEs through a packet network without using an external circuit for timing. The Timing property allows you to configure SyncE ports. |
Discovery of DWDM pluggable line insertion modules (PLIMs) on the Cisco Aggregation Services Router 9000 (ASR 9000) R4.1.1 |
Prime Optical 9.5 supports the discovery of DWDM PLIMs on the ASR 9K R4.1.1. |
View device details for CPT and ASR9000 NEs |
When Prime Optical and Prime Network are installed as part of the Cisco Prime Central suite, you can view device details for CPT and ASR 9000 NEs. |
New Alien Wavelength/Fiber Attribute tab |
An Alien Wavelength/Fiber Attribute tab under the DWDM node properties pane is shown for the following NEs: •ONS 15454 MSTP •ONS 15454 SONET •ONS 15454 SDH •ONS 15454-M6 •ONS 15454-M2 |
Changes in the procedure to add a new NE software version in the Supported NE Table |
The procedure to add a new NE software version in the Supported NE Table has changed. You cannot customize the Version Name field. Prime Optical retrieves the version name from the Version Name field of the base version. The newly added NE displays an icon in the Software Version column. |
New OTS link features |
You can set OTS link capacity, and view OTS link utilization and associated circuits. |
Prime Optical-Supported NE Software Releases
The following table lists the NE software releases supported in Prime Optical 9.5.
Caution
Before updating the software image on an NE, check the following table to 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.
