Overview

Teaches you how to view the layout details and internal connections. Instructs you on obtaining critical structural insights of an analyzed network for troubleshooting.

Follow these steps to obtain the layout details and internal connections of an analyzed network.

Before you begin

Procedure

Click the Layout tab on the Cisco ONP homepage.

Type the site name in the search box, or select a site from the Sites drop-down list.

The site layout is displayed with its racks and cards.

Hover the mouse pointer over the transponder card to view the details of the slot, the PID of the card, and the ports.
Expand the Ports to view details, such as wavelength and trunk mode.
Hover the mouse pointer over the chassis to view the total power consumption.

COSM supports up to 50 UIDs; beyond which, the site layout displays incorrect UID for the chassis.

Click the IPC tab to view the internal patch connections of the selected site.

Export Internal connections

Cisco ONP allows you to export internal fiber connections in two ways: either at site-level or network-level.

Follow these steps to export internal fiber connections.

Table 1. Feature History
Feature Name	Release Information	Feature Description
Power Consumption and Unit Weight Report	Cisco ONP Release 5.2	Now, you can generate the power consumption and unit weight report for each product ID (PID). In the layout tab, you can see the power consumption and unit weight values and export them into Excel as a report for a single site or all sites. With prior knowledge of power consumption and weight details for each PID, you can plan and design an energy-efficient network. The new options that allow you to view and export the reports are: Show Typical Power Consumption Show Max Power Consumption Show Unit Weight Power Consumption & Weight

The Power Consumption and Unit Weight report includes power consumption and weight details of cards and shelves at each site.

The power consumption of the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is not included in the total power consumption for NCS 1001, NCS 1010, NCS 1014, and NCS 1020 chassis. Determine the total power consumption for these chassis by adding 8 percent of the aggregated power consumption of all the cards inside the chassis to account for the PSU power consumption.

Note

To view the power consumption and weight report, upgrade and analyze the LNI network.

Follow these steps to view the power consumption and unit weight report for each site.

Before you begin

Procedure

Open the analyzed network for which you want to view the power consumption and weight report.

Click the Layout tab on the Cisco ONP homepage.

Click the ellipsis icon next to Sites.

A pop-up list displays these options.

Table 2. Option descriptions
Options	Description
Expand All	Expands all the items in the layout tree.
Collapse All	Collapses all the items in the layout tree.
Show Typical Power Consumption	Check the Show Typical Power Consumption check box to view typical power consumption values of each card and shelf in watts.
Show Max Power Consumption	Check the Show Max Power Consumption check box to view the power consumption values of each card and shelf in watts. Max Power Consumption for a shelf is the sum of cards and modules. Note The total power consumption of an NCS 2000, NCS 4000, or NCS 1000 shelf changes based on AC or DC power supply. For DC power supply, total power consumption of the shelf includes all Cards, DC power module, and fan tray. For AC power supply in NCS 2000 M6 only, total power consumption of the shelf includes all cards, fan tray, 10% of power consumed by all cards, and 5W of Cooling Unit power consumption.
Show Unit Weight	Check the Show Unit Weight check box to view the weight of each card and shelf in kilograms. The unit weight for a shelf is the sum of cards and modules.

Select the options as you require.

Export power consumption and unit weight report

Follow these steps to export the power consumption and weight report of each shelf and card.

Click Power Consumption & Weight to export the optical reports details in an Excel sheet.

We recommend that you export the power consumption and weight report only in the analyze mode. Exporting the reports in the upgrade and release upgrade modes may be inaccurate.
