Use this procedure to provision SONET or SDH trace monitoring. This task helps you complete the required configuration, verification, or management action in Cisco Optical Site Manager.
Configure trace monitoring parameters for OC192 (SONET) and STM64 (SDH) payloads. This ensures proper monitoring of the trace strings transmitted and received on the optical network, helping detect discrepancies and maintain network integrity.
SONET and SDH trace monitoring is supported on OTN XP cards.
Before you begin
Follow these steps to provision the trace monitoring parameters that are supported for both the OC192 and STM64 payloads.
