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.
DLP-E100 Initiate a Force Switch on a Port in a 1+1 Protection Group
Step 1 In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
Step 2 In the Protection Group area, select the protection group with the port you want to switch.
In the Selected Group area, each port is identified as Working or Protect. Each port also has a status:
•Active—The port is carrying traffic.
•Standby—The port is not carrying traffic.
•[MANUAL TO WORKING]—A Manual switch has moved traffic to the working port.
•[MANUAL TO PROTECT]—A Manual switch has moved traffic to the protect port.
•[FORCE TO WORKING]—A Force switch has moved traffic to the working port.
•[FORCE TO PROTECT]—A Force switch has moved traffic to the protect port.
The normal status is for one port to be Working/Active and the other to be Protect/Standby.
Step 3 In the Selected Group area, select the port that you want to switch. For example, if you want to switch traffic from the working port to the protect port, click the working port.
Step 4 Click Force.
If the Force switch is successful, CTC shows both ports as [FORCE TO PROTECT] (or [FORCE TO WORKING]). This indication is shown whether or not the ONS 15600 system has been able to move traffic from one port to the other.
If the Bidirectional switching check box is checked, both the near-end and far-end nodes switch to the designated protection ports. For example, if the near-end node has a loss of signal (LOS), it switches to the protection port and transmits a switch request to the far-end node to switch to the protection port also. This ensures that both nodes process traffic from the same span.
If the Bidirectional switching check box is not selected, the near-end and far-end nodes switch independently of each other. For example, if the near-end node has an LOS on its working port, it switches to the protection port. If the far-end node does not have a LOS, traffic remains on the working port.
If the Force switch is unsuccessful, clear the switch immediately using the "DLP-E167 Clear a Manual or Force Switch in a 1+1 Protection Group" task, and then troubleshoot the problems preventing the switch by referring to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 5 Click the node view Conditions tab and click Retrieve to see new events. The switch procedure raises a FORCED-REQ-SPAN condition that is visible in the window unless Not Alarmed conditions have been filtered out from the view.
Step 6 Click the Alarms tab.
No new traffic loss alarms or failure-to-switch alarms should have been raised.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-E101 Apply a Lock On in a 1+1 Group
Note A Lock On can be applied to a working port only.
Step 1 In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
Step 2 In the Protection Groups area, select the protection group where you want to apply a Lock On.
Step 3 If you determine that the protect port is in standby and you want to apply the Lock On to the protect port, make the protect port active:
a. In the Selected Group field, click the protect port.
b. In the Switch Commands field, click Force.
Step 4 In the Selected Group area, choose the active port where you want to lock on traffic.
Step 5 In the Inhibit Switching field, click Lock On.
Step 6 Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
The lock on has been applied and traffic cannot be switched from that port. See the "DLP-E168 Clear a Lock On or Lock Out in a 1+1 Protection Group" task as needed.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-E102 Apply a Lock Out in a 1+1 Group
Note A Lock Out can be applied to a protect port only.
Step 1 In node view, click the Maintenance > Protection tabs.
Step 2 In the Protection Groups field, click the protection group that contains the card you want to lock out.
Step 3 In the Selected Group area, select the card you want to lock out.
Step 4 In the Inhibit Switching field, click Lock Out.
Step 5 Click Yes on the confirmation dialog box.
The lock out has been applied and traffic is switched to the opposite card. To clear the Lock Out, see the "DLP-E168 Clear a Lock On or Lock Out in a 1+1 Protection Group" task.
Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-E103 Initiate a Manual Switch on a Path Protection Circuit
Step 1 In node view, click the Circuits > Circuits tabs.
Step 2 Click the path you want to switch and then click Edit.
Step 3 In the Edit Circuit window, click the UPSR Selectors tab.
Step 4 In the Switch State column, click the row for the path you want to switch and select Manual to Protect or Manual to Working as appropriate.
Step 5 Click Apply.
Step 6 To verify that the switch has occurred, view the UPSR Selectors tab Switch State column. The row for the circuit you switched will show a MANUAL status.
Traffic switches from the working path protection path to the protect path. If the path is configured for revertive switching, the traffic reverts to the working path when the Manual switch is cleared. See the "DLP-E170 Clear a Switch or Lock Out on a Path Protection Circuit" task as needed.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-E104 Initiate a Force Switch to a Path Protection Circuit
Step 1 In node view, click the Circuits > Circuits tabs.
Step 2 Click the path you want to switch and click Edit.
Step 3 In the Edit Circuit window, click the UPSR Selectors tab.
Step 4 In the Switch State column, click the row for the path you want to switch and select Force to Working or Force to Protect as appropriate.
Step 5 Click Apply.
Step 6 To verify that the switch has occurred, view the UPSR Selectors tab Switch State column. The circuit row shows a FORCE status.
Traffic switches from the protect path to the working path. Protection switching cannot occur until the Force switch is cleared. See the "DLP-E170 Clear a Switch or Lock Out on a Path Protection Circuit" task as needed.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-E111 Provision Path Protection Selectors During Circuit Creation
Note Provisioning SD-P or SF-P thresholds in the Circuit Attributes page of the Circuit Creation wizard sets the values only for path protection-protected spans. The circuit source and destination use the node default values of 10E-4 for SD-P and 10E-6 for SF-P for unprotected circuits and for the source and drop of path protection circuits.
Step 1 In the Circuit Attributes area of the Circuit Creation wizard, set the path protection path selectors:
•Revertive—Check this box if you want traffic to revert to the working path when the conditions that diverted it to the protect path are repaired. If you do not choose Revertive, traffic remains on the protect path after the switch.
•Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, click the Reversion time field and choose a reversion time from the drop-down list. The range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. This is the amount of time that will elapse before the traffic reverts to the working path. Traffic can revert when conditions causing the switch are cleared.
•SF threshold—For STS circuits, set the path protection path-level signal failure bit error rate (BER) thresholds.
•SD threshold—For STS circuits, set the path protection path-level signal degrade BER thresholds.
•Switch on PDI-P—For STS circuits, check this box if you want traffic to switch when an STS payload defect indicator is received.

In this service state, traffic is not passed on the port until the service state is changed to IS-NR; Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance (OOS-MA,MT); or Out-of-Service and Autonomous, Automatic In-Service (OOS-AU,AINS).
•OOS, MT—Puts the port in the OOS-MA,MT service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and loopbacks are allowed, but alarm reporting is suppressed. Raised fault conditions, whether or not their alarms are reported, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command. Use the OOS-MA,MT service state for testing or to suppress alarms temporarily. Change to the IS-NR or OOS-AU,AINS service states when testing is complete.
•IS, AINS—Puts the port in the OOS-AU,AINS service state. In this service state, alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed. After the soak period passes, the port changes to IS-NR. Raised fault conditions, whether their alarms are reported or not, can be retrieved on the CTC Conditions tab or by using the TL1 RTRV-COND command.

•Protection—The protection type; see Table 17-1.
•Direction—The circuit direction, either two-way or one-way.
•Status—The circuit status; see Table 17-2.
•Source—The circuit source in the format: node/slot/port/STS. If an Any Service Any Port (ASAP) pluggable port module (PPM) port is the circuit source, the port format is PIM-PPM-port, where pluggable interface module (PIM) and PPM values are 1 through 4 (for example, p1-1-1). PPMs have only one port.
•Destination—The circuit destination in the format: node/slot/port/STS. If an ASAP PPM port is the circuit destination, the port format is PIM-PPM-port, where PIM and PPM values are 1 through 4 (for example, p1-1-1). PPMs have only one port.
•# of VLANS—(Future use.) The number of VLANs used by an Ethernet circuit.
•# of Spans—The number of internode links that compose the circuit.
•State—The circuit service state, In-Service (IS), Out-of-Service (OOS), or OOS-PARTIAL. The circuit service state is an aggregate of the service states of its cross-connects:
–If all cross-connects in a circuit are in the IS-NR service state, the circuit service state is IS.
–If all cross-connects in a circuit are in the OOS-MA,MT; OOS-AU,AINS; or OOS-MA,DSBLD service state, the circuit service state is OOS.
–PARTIAL is appended to the OOS circuit service state when circuit cross-connects state are mixed and not all in IS-NR. The OOS-PARTIAL state can occur during automatic or manual transitions between states. OOS-PARTIAL can appear during a manual transition caused by an abnormal event such as a CTC crash or communication error, or if one of the cross-connects could not be changed.

If the New Transmit String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.
c. Click Apply.
Step 8 Provision the circuit destination expected string:
a. On the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•Auto—The first string received from the source port is automatically provisioned as the current expected string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
•Manual—The string entered in the Current Expected String field is the baseline. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
b. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit destination should receive from the circuit source in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto, skip this step.
c. Click the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the alarm indication signal (AIS) and remote defect inidication (RDI) when the STS Path Trace Identifier Mismatch Path (TIM-P) alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and conditions.
d. (Check box visibility depends on card selection.) Click the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check box if you want to suppress the AIS when a C2 mismatch occurs.
e. Click Apply, then click Close.
Note It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the circuit destination expected string; the path trace process automatically determines the format.
Step 9 Provision the circuit source expected string:
a. In the Edit Circuit window (with Show Detailed Map chosen; see Figure 17-10) right-click the circuit source port and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.
b. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other path trace end as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.
•Manual—Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
c. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit source should receive from the circuit destination in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto, skip this step.
d. Click the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the AIS and RDI when the TIM-P alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and conditions.
e. (Check box visibility depends on card selection.) Click the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check box if you want to suppress the AIS when a C2 mismatch occurs.
f. Click Apply.
Note It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the circuit source expected string; the path trace process automatically determines the format.
Step 10 After you set up the path trace, the received string appears in the Received field on the path trace setup window. The following options are available:
•Click Hex Mode to display path trace in hexadecimal format. The button name changes to ASCII Mode. Click it to return the path trace to ASCII format.
•Click the Reset button to reread values from the port.
•Click Default to return to the path trace default settings (Path Trace Mode is set to Off and the New Transmit and New Expected Strings are null).

Note The OC-N port must be on a receive-only card listed in Table 17-3. If not, the Edit Path Trace menu item will not appear.
Step 6 In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:
•Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other path trace end as the current expected string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received. For OC-N ports, Auto is recommended because Manual mode requires you to trace the circuit on the Edit Circuit window to determine whether the port is the source or destination path.
•Manual—Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.
Step 7 If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the OC-N port should receive in the New Expected String field. To do this, trace the circuit path on the detailed circuit window to determine whether the port is in the circuit source or destination path, then set the New Expected String to the string transmitted by the circuit source or destination. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Auto, skip this step.

Step 4 From the Tools menu, choose Circuits > Set Circuit State.
Step 5 In the Set Circuit State dialog box, choose the administrative state from the Target Circuit Admin State drop-down list:
•IS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the IS-NR service state.
•OOS,DSBLD—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,DSBLD service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.
•IS,AINS—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-AU,AINS service state. When the connections receive a valid signal, the cross-connect service states automatically change to IS-NR.
•OOS,MT—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the OOS-MA,MT service state. This service state does not interrupt traffic flow and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit, but suppresses alarms and conditions. Use the OOS,MT administrative state for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the administrative state to IS, OOS, or IS,AINS when testing is complete.
Note Alternatively, you can choose the circuit on the Circuits tab, click the Edit button, then click the State tab on the Edit Circuits window.
For additional information about circuit service states, refer to the "Circuits and Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual.

Note When LDCC is provisioned, an SDCC termination is allowed on the same port, but is not recommended. SDCC and LDCC are only needed on the same port during a software upgrade if the software version does not support LDCC. You can provision SDCCs and LDCCs on different ports in the same node.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > LDCC tabs.
Step 2 Click Create.
Step 3 In the Create LDCC Terminations dialog box, click the ports where you want to create the LDCC termination. To select more than one port, press the Shift key or the Ctrl key.
Note LDCC refers to the Line DCC, which is used for ONS 15600 DCC terminations. The SONET Line DCCs and the Section DCC (when not used as a DCC termination by the ONS 15600) can be provisioned as DCC tunnels. See the "DLP-E105 Create a DCC Tunnel" task.
Step 4 In the Port Admin State area, click Set to IS to put the port in service.
Step 5 Verify that the Disable OSPF on DCC Link check box is unchecked.
Step 6 If the SDCC termination is to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the "DLP-E197 Change a Line DCC Termination" task.
Step 7 Click OK.
Note Line DCC Termination Failure (EOC-L) and Loss of Signal (LOS) alarms appear until you create all network DCC terminations and put the DCC termination OC-N ports in service.

DLP-E190 Provision a Proxy Tunnel
Purpose |
This task sets up a proxy tunnel to communicate with a non-ONS far-end node. Proxy tunnels are only necessary when the proxy server is enabled and a foreign DCC termination exists, or if static routes exist so that the DCC network is used to access remote networks or devices. You can provision a maximum of 12 proxy server tunnels. |

DLP-E194 Create a Provisionable Patchcord
Note To set up a provisionable patchcord between an optical port and an ONS 15454 transponder/muxponder, an add/drop multiplexer, or multiplexer/demultiplexer port, the optical port must have an SDCC/LDCC termination provisioned. If the port is the protection port in a 1+1 group, the working port must have an SDCC/LDCC termination provisioned. As needed, complete the "DLP-E114 Provision Section DCC Terminations" task or the "DLP-E189 Provision Line DCC Terminations" task.
Note An optical port requires two patchcords when the remote end is Y-cable protected or is an add/drop multiplexer or multiplexer/demultiplexer port.
Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > PPC tabs. If you are in network view, click the Provisioning > Provisionable Patchcords tabs.
Step 2 Click Create. The Provisionable Patchcord dialog box appears.
Step 3 In the Origination Node area, complete the following:
a. If you are in node view, the Origination Node defaults to the current node. If you are in network view, click the desired origination node from the drop-down list.
b. Type a patchcord identifier (0 through 32767) in the TX/RX ID field.
c. Click the desired origination slot/port from the list of available slots/ports.
Step 4 In the Termination Node area, complete the following:
a. Click the desired termination node from the drop-down list. If the remote node has not previously been discovered by CTC but is accessible by CTC, type the name of the remote node.
b. Type a patchcord identifier (0 through 32767) in the TX/RX ID field. The origination and termination IDs must be different if the patchcord is set up between two cards on the same node.
c. Click the desired termination slot/port from the list of available slots/ports. The origination port and the termination port must be different.
Step 5 If you need to provision Tx and Rx separately for multiplexer/demultiplexer cards, check the Separate Tx/Rx check box. If not, continue with Step 6. The origination and termination Tx ports are already provisioned. Complete the following to provision the Rx ports:
a. In the Origination Node area, type a patchcord identifier (0 through 32767) in the RX ID field. The origination Tx and Rx and termination Tx and Rx IDs must be different.
b. Click the desired origination slot/port from the list of available slots/ports.
c. In the Termination Node area, type a patchcord identifier (0 through 32767) in the RX ID field. The origination Tx and Rx and termination Tx and Rx IDs must be different.
d. Click the desired termination slot/port from the list of available slots/ports.
