New Bandwidth Properties |
Cisco ONP Release 5.1 |
Cisco ONP introduces the Statistical Simulation Sigma, Statistical Simulation Margin Sigma, and OSNR Resolution Bandwidth properties in this release. When the ideal OSNR values calculated by Cisco ONP are not feasible to be used at the time of deployment, you can modify the values for these properties to customize OSNR margin, power margin, and G-OSNR values to fix the fiber span issues. |
New Network Level Properties |
Cisco ONP Release 5.1 |
Three new Network Level properties are introduced to enable you to customize the core operations of an NCS 2000 Network. These operations ran in the background in the earlier releases. The new properties available under Core Operations as check boxes are:
|
BOM Customization for the UCS-based SVO Server Application |
Cisco ONP Release 5.1 |
From this release onwards, the BOM does not include any UCS-based SVO server information. It is expected that you add the server PID and quantities manually. Cisco ONP prompts you to add the server by displaying the message "UCS server is not billed in BoM, please add it as needed." in the Messages tab of the Elements tab. |
Follow these steps to modify the properties of the network.

Quick Analysis |
NCS 2000 |
This check box allows you to quickly analyze the network by using a less accurate algorithm. The quick analysis option does not optimize the DCU and amplifier placement algorithm, resulting in an approximate BoM. For an accurate BoM, uncheck the Quick Analysis check box. |

DWDM Interfaces |
NCS 2000 |
Cisco ONP supports 100G and 200G transceivers as DWDM interfaces. This option is applicable only for automatically created waves, when OTN services are present. |
If you enable both 100G and 200G options, by default, the entire network chooses the 200G wavelength for transmission. If the 200G wavelength is not optically feasible, then it selects 100G automatically for transmission. |

Use client Payg |
NCS 2000 |
This check box to enables the Pay As You Grow feature on the client cards. The PAYG feature provides a cost-effective solution for fewer wavelength requirements. A standard card is configured to work on maximum supported wavelengths, whereas a PAYG license comprises license restricted cards and a base license. So, instead of purchasing a standard card, you can purchase a PAYG license. |

Ignore APC Penality |
NCS 1010 |
By default, this check box remains checked, when the Enable Special Settings check box is checked. Automatic Power Control (APC) penalty occurs due to the inherent error in regulating the set-point for power. This penalty is considered while calculating the OSNR and power margin. When this property is enabled, this penalty is ignored during the calculation and thus providing accurate optical results. |
