10G Bigger Pipe on ONS 15454

I have two STM4 SDH capacities and one STM16 SDH spanning two cities over different service providers. See Attachment, I have two Cisco ONS 15454 in two cities, one of the ONS is connected to a GSR router serving as core router while the second ONS is connected to a 7609-S serving as MPLS-PE router, their is DOT1q tagging transparently carried over the SDH circuits between the two routers. I want to make these capacities one big Ethernet pipe (10G) at both ends, this fat pipe should be able to carry multiple VLANs between the attached routers at both ends. Is this achievable? if yes what kind of Ethernet cards do I require on ONS and the routers? Any supporting document will be highly appreciated.

"but I am not sure if Cisco produce a 10G ethernet cards for ONS 15454?"
cisco also have 10G Ethernet card but it can go over DWDM box not STM 16 & STM 4.
I am not sure what ECi and Huwai are offering but i am sure of one thing that even if they give you 10G Ethernet card but you CANNOT map that single Ethernet card to your 3 STM interfaces (1 STM 16 & 2 STM 4). As far as i know you can map one ethernet port to one SDH port (either 1 STM 16 or 1 STM 4).
Before believing ECI & Huwaei discuss that solution with some people, as I know one thing there can be lot of strings later on.
They say totally different thing before but once you buy that then you get to know the real features. You will have the feature but with lot of if & but.
What you can do is if that makes sense in your case, take 10 1Gig (Total 10G) ethernet card then you can map 3 ethernet ports to 3 STM interfaces you have.
Whats is the max speed your provider can give you? If they give you 10G SDH then see if you can get 10G POS card for your routers.
You can think of DWDM solution, this way you can take 10G direct over a wavelngth and lot many later. What is the distance between your 2 ONS?

ONS 15454 STS Limits

I know the ons 15454 has a limit of 24 STS connections, but is there any easy way to determine if you have reached that limit. We are trying to use another ds3 port on an existing card and are getting errors that we are unable to provision any more circuits. I just want to determine if we are at our threshold for STS connections and how to determine which cards are using how many STS connections.

At the node view, Click Maintenance > Cross-Connect (or similar) then the Resource Usage tab. This will show the XC resource usage.
As for the 15454 cross connect limits. That is driven by the cross connect card as follows:
XC-VT - 144 STS bidirectional cross-connects
XC-10G - 576 STS bidirectional cross-connects
XC-VXC - 576 STS bidirectional cross-connects
What software version?
What DS3 card(s)?
What OCn card(s)?
What does your circuit mapping look like?

ONS 15454 login help.

I have a ONS 15454-SA-HD that I am trying to get into. I have no documentation other than what I have found online, and no software with it. From what I am finding online is that if you do not have the software that came with the system the only other way to get into this unit is through a web browser. I tried hooking up to the serial interface of the unit but all that I get is the > prompt and nothing I type in seems to show up and I get no output.
From what I have found I would need to be using at the most Java version jdk 1.2.2.017
I have downloaded and installed this version of Java and it is the only version that I have installed on the system that I have running Windows XP.
When I try to connect to the ONS I get a message telling me to check the security settings. From what I can tell everything looks fine.
I have the latest version of IE for windows XP installed. Is this version of XP to new to be able to connect to the ONS?
I have also tried downloading and installing the one of the recommended browsers and version (Mozilla version 1.7.13) and then reinstalled the 1.2.2.017 version of Java, but it would seem that Mozilla does not see that I have Java installed when I try to connect up to the ONS through Mozilla.
Any help on getting into this unit would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Michael

It should accept the input -- relative to single-mode fibers, multimode fibers have bigger cores, and transfer light somewhat differently, so the result is that the single mode receiver will only detect a percentage of the light that a multimode cable sends it. This percentage is likely to be pretty low, especially as distance increases. I'd say odds are it will work at a distance as short as 30 meters, but you can't know for sure without trying and you'll want to keep an eye on bit error rates to make sure the receiver is getting a strong enough signal.

Upgrade ONS 15454 M12 TCC2P from 9.4.03 to 10.0.11

Hello,
quick question.
I have in my lab one M12 subrack with only-one TCC2P card and I try to prepare software upgrade in customer network.
I read all procedures at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/optical/15000r/upgrade/guide/b-454a10-0-1-upgrade.html
My troubles started at point where I can select node where the software must be downloaded. The window is empty.
Target version is "ons15454.DWDM.Lite.K9.R10011.pkg".
Any idea?
Thanks

ONS 15454 error message

Hi Expert,
I have a problem with ONS 15454 error message. My CTM server detected MINOR error message "Peer to Peer Slot Communication Failure". Affected object is SLOT-1 which is OPT_BST. The alarm ID is 200551. What caused this error appear and any workaround to solve this problem?. Your kind attention is much appreciated.

Although the following alarm is not identical to the one you identified, this seems to indicate the a peer "communication failure" is hardware related.
2.5.237 PEER-NORESPONSE
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: EQPT
The switch agent raises a Peer Card Not Responding alarm if either traffic card in a protection group does not receive a response to the peer status request message. PEER-NORESPONSE is a software failure and occurs at the task level, as opposed to a communication failure, which is a hardware failure between peer cards.
Hope this helps....

ONS 15454 design question

I have an ONS 15454 with 2 OC192 circuits that terminate into it. One goes to a downstream ONS and another to the upstream.
I need to extend the existing ring to 2 more ONS devices, but I am not sure if it is going to work the way I want it to.
Right now, each VTS24 circuit on the OC192 is associated with a POS interface on the ML1000 cards. So POS1 goes upstream, POS0 downstream (unprotected). The ML1000 is int turn trunked to a 3750 L3 switch that has the bridge groups and layer 3 addressing assigned. This is Ring0
I need to extend this ring, so obviously I will need 2 additional OC192 cards, but do these new circuits need to be associated with new POS interfaces? In other words, will I need 2 additional ML1000 cards, and if so, how would I trunk to the switch? Am I going to get into some loopy topology here?
I am new to this system, so any advice would be great.

Hi Colin,
so you want to add two more ONS devices in an existing ring.
if you can provide a topology it will be helpful,
if you just want to add two more ONS in existing ring, it will no cause any issues,
we just have to take care of circuits and need to build them from TL1 in these new nodes.
but please send topology to get an clear view.

Cisco ONS 15454 SDH

Hi,
i have 3 sites connecting together with SDH 15454 site A-B with STM-1 and from site B-C STM-16,i want to Aggregated hand-off E1's from Site A-C so site B will be trasparet site for this link.
to be source of link on site A and Drop on site C.
any help to achive this.
there is already cricte between site B-C.

You will need to verify that the cross-connect card in the ONS 15454 (sites B & C) have VC-12 grooming capabilities (XC-VXL and CX-VXC will support VC-12 grooming).
The ONS is designed to groom lower rate signals to higher rate speed lines. Thus, you should be able to aggregate the E1s from the ISPs STM1 with the E1s from Site B and drop them at Site C.
You will need to add an STM1 card(s) to Site B. Your ISP will need to provide the mapping structure of the STM1, so you can understand where the VC-12s, which contain the E1s, are located in the payload. You will then create circuits to map each E1 (the incoming VC-12s within VC3/VC4) from you ISPs STM1 at Site B, to the appropriate VC-12 on the outgoing STM16 line heading toward Site C. At Site C, you will need to map the VC-12s on the STM16 line to the appropriate port on an E1 line card.
I hope this helps. Otherwise, you will need to have someone locally assist you in the explanation.

ONS 15454 shows up as "unknown" after power outage

We had a power outage that took down a ONS 15454 in a remote facility. Upon restoring power and powering-up the unit, it shows up in CTC as grey with "Uknown2" as the name.
I had someone reseat the TCC card, but it still comes up as unknown.
Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions (the device is hours from me)

Try and restart CTC session and clear CTC cache
Can you ping the node
Check to see if the node is in the OSPF routing table
Can you access via CTC locally
Is your CTC terminal directly connected or does it go via a firewall
Probably resolved now how did you resolve it?

Does anybody have pinout of wiring ONS 15454 craft interface to a Cisco 2511 terminal server? I tried many combinations but nothing seem to work.
2511 has octal cable with RJ-45 connector. I used an rj-45 coupler to connect a wire wrapped RJ-45 cable to craft interface.

ONS 15454 problem turning up OC12

Board.
I am trying to turn up an OC12 (non-concatenated) that is muxed from a OC48. The OC48 terminates on an ONS 15454 on both sides. From there we run SM fiber to Cisco 12000 series onto an SM OC12/SMT4 Line card on both sides too.
My settings for the ONS are as follows:
Type=STS
Size 12C
Dir = 2way
We see on one Cisco UP/DOWN, and on other Cisco Down/Down
Does any on this forum have any tips at all?

Which OC12 LC do you have on the 12000?
CHOC12/STS3-IR-SC
4OC12E/POS-IR-S
4OC12X/POS-I-SC-B
etc

ONS 15454 Version 8 Experience?

I'd like to know the experiences of anyone who has upgraded to SW version 8.0 on ONS 15454 SONET nodes. I'm trying to decide whether to use the tried-and-true 7.2.2 load or go for 8.0, which doesn't have any maintenance revs out yet. I have to do something to get off version 4.6.1 and 5.0.5 soon.
Thanks,
Dave

most that I log into are on 7.2.2. We have one of the largest 15454 networks in the US

ONS 15454 Chassis Document

Hello All,
I wanted to know if there is a document that will show how to put an ONS 15454 chassis together? What each TCC, SMR, WXC card means and used for? What the DS, OSC, LINE, COM, EXP ports used for? Etc.
If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great!
Thanks!

Well the product support pages show how to physically install y every componenet of the ONS equipment:

ONS 15454 and AC/DC Converter for 220V

I am looking for a AC/DC converter for a ONS15454 for a 220V input.
The ONS 15454 datasheet indicate input current 22A maximum.
The Cisco AC/DC Power Solution datasheet indicate for ONS 15454 a medium solution.
And the same datasheet indicate the small solution is up to 32A for 220V.
Then, can I use the small configuration for ONS at 220V?
Anyone know that? Can you help me with that?
Graciela

What is the hardware configuration of your 15454 including chassis, fan and by slot?
Using the hardware config, you can calcualte the expected amperage.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/optical/ps2006/products_tech_note09186a0080094ae4.shtml
The general power requirement of 22A provides for any possible configuration. Actual configurations may be less. I have some 454s using as little as 9A in the lab.

ONS 15454 MRC 2.5G4

Hi All,
We are trying to install the optical multirate card (MRC 2.5Gig) on ONS 15454 and found the card comming up on standby state instead of active. The version running on the sonet box is 8.5.0 ...The MRC card port 1 is installed with the OC3 SFP's but cable not attached.
Any help would be appreciated .
Regards
Anantha Subramanian Natarajan

Hi, this is normal. Just go on and enable a SFP, called pluggable port module (PPM). After the first SFP is enabled, the state of the MRC card will change to working.
Cheers
