Use this procedure to view circuit protection parameters in Cisco Optical Site Manager. The protection parameters are defined when a protected ODU circuit is created through NETCONF client.

Use this task to view circuit protection parameters.

Use this task to display the protection parameters of ODU circuit created in the OTNXC mode of the 400G-XP card. The protection parameters are defined when a protected ODU circuit is created through NETCONF client.

Before you begin

Log into Cisco Optical Site Manager

Follow these steps to view circuit protection parameters.

Procedure

  1. Click the hamburger icon at the top-left of the page, and select Cisco Optical Site Manager Topology.

    The Cisco Optical Site Manager Topology page appears.

  2. Click the rack in the left panel.

    The rack view appears.

  3. Left-click the chassis and select Open.

    The chassis view appears.

  4. Click the Maintenance > Protection tabs to view the following protection parameters:

    • Name-Name of the protection group.

    • Protection Type-Type of the protection.

    • Active Interfaces-The interfaces on which the traffic is present.

    • Working Interfaces-The working interfaces are the active interfaces when the protection group is created.

    • Protection Interfaces-The protection interfaces when the protection group is created.

    • Switch Type-The switch type is bidirectional-switching.

    • Revertive-Choose True or False. If set to true, the traffic reverts to the working port after failure conditions remain corrected for the amount of time that is entered in the Reversion Time field.

    • Reversion Time (min)-Reversion time is the amount of time that will elapse before the traffic reverts to the working port. The reversion timer starts after conditions causing the switch are cleared. The range is from one to 12 minutes.

    • Reversion Pulse Width (sec)-Reversion Pulse Width is not applicable for the ODU circuit.

    Note

    The following fields in the protection group are editable in the Chassis view > Provisioning tab:

    • Name

    • Revertive

    • Reversion Time

    • Reversion Pulse Width

  5. Click + to view the protection group data.

    The interfaces of the protection group are displayed.

    • Interface-Displays the name of the interface

    • Entity-Displays the entity of the interface, whether it is working or protect

    • Entity Status-Displays the status of the entity, whether it is active or Standby

    • Switch Status-Displays the switch status when a switch operation is performed.

  6. To perform a switch operation between the interfaces of a protection group, perform these steps:

    1. Check the check box of the interface that has Entity Status as active.

    2. Click Edit.

      The Switch Command dialog box appears.

    3. Select an option from the Action drop-down list.

      The options available are-Lock-Out, Force-Switch, Manual-Switch, and Release.

    4. Click Apply.

    Note

    Cisco Optical Site Manager does not support the Y-cable protection type. If a Y-cable protected circuit is available in the system, Cisco Optical Site Manager cannot fetch the data when you expand the protection data.

The view circuit protection parameters task is complete.
