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.

I am doing a school research project in which I am setting up an OC-192 ring for a company (contract work through AT&T). I have chosen to use the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET MSPP as my platform. The company currently has locations in Chicago and Philadelphia and connects them through an OC-12C ATM connection and they are looking to add 2 gigabit ethernet connections.
My question is what cards and parts will I need for the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET MSPP, and how much will everything cost? I have been searching the internet for components and prices and I have found it extremely difficult to find any information. Any help or tips anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.Nick,
You can find the HW specifications for various ethernet cards for the 15454 at the following location.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/optical/15000r9_1/15454/sdh/reference/guide/454e91_ethernetcards.htmlhttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/optical/15000r9_1/15454/sdh/reference/guide/454e91_refer.html
To make sense of it all, you need to contact a Cisco sales/account represetative to help you analyze your needs, design your network and put together a price list for the appropriate cards.
If you are interested, I can get someone from the sales/account team to contact you. Please contact me directly with your contact information and geographic location so I can find the appropriate sales/account to help you. Please do not post your personal information directly to the forum.

Does ONS 15454 SDH supports TACACS+ ?
Hi,
We are currently managing 16 ONS nodes in our customer environment and we need to implement AAA using TACACS+ to those ONS chasis.
We are currently using default Superuser account, and we could only find support document related to RADIUS but not for TACACS+.
Does anyone have implemented authendication on ONS15454 SDH with TACACS+ and do let me know how to implement it ? If not, does we have any Cisco document to clarify why it is not supported ?
ThangaThanga,
AAA is not supported but RADIUS is. Use DLP-A456 (Configure the Node for TADIUS Authentication) to set up the ONS 15454 to use Radius. It is in the Procedure Guide for the ONS 15454.
If you have any problems please call 800-553-2447 to open a TAC case.
Here is the link:

ONS 15454 SDH with 2 ML cards connected to the same RPR
I was wondering if I could connect 2 ML cards installed in the same ONS 15454 to the same RPR ring. Thanks!
Bob,
If you are wanting to tie the ML100 and the ML1000 into the same RPR Ring, then you have do do it with the POS interfaces.
For Example:
ML 100 POS 0 - North Microwave
ML 100 POS 1 - connect RPR to ML 1000 POS 0
ML 1000 POS 1 - South Microwave
North Microwave connects RPR to South Microwave
This creates a single Loop or Ring
It sounds like you are using your ML1000 as a Spur to another location. In order to create an RPR ring, you must have the cards physically connected to each other in a continuous ring.

Hi.
We have a lot of new hardware from big blue, which we have to connect via 4gbit FICON to our ONS 15454sdh. Therefor we have some new 15454-10dme-c cards. After the installation of the cards, i wanted to configure the cards with 4g FICON, but neither in ctc8.5 nor in ctm8.5 i have an option for 4g FICON. Only 2g FICON or 4g FC.
What can i do? Am I to choose 4g FC?This is a fairly new card. Once you get the card operational, let us know how it performs for you.
Glad you found out the issue. -
Does anyone know where you can download a copy of Cisco Transport Planner? I need to open a project file to review the design but cannot find the software available for download anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
it can download from cisco internal website only, and you must request the license for CTP, maybe you need contact AM or SE for this account

Cisco ONS 15454 E3-12 & E3/DS3 loopback testing
I was wondering if it was possible to daisy chain all the ports (with a hard loop on the last port) on the FMEC E3/DS3 and create circuits between the looped ports in order to perform BER testing on all the E3 ports.
I set that up and connected my test set, but when start sending a signal I end up getting a LOF alarm.
Does anyone have any ideas on what my problem may be and how I would go about performing my test for all the E3 ports?based on your test set-up.. did you create circuits between all the ports and then use a physical loop (fiber connections between the ports) on all the ports?
I have it set up with circuits on the backplane and physical loops in the following manner:
test set -> port 1
port 1-> port 2 (VC3 circuit)
port 2-> port 3 (physical loop)
port 3-> port 4 (VC3 circuit)
port 4-> port 5 (physical loop)
port 5-> port 6 (VC3 circuit)
port 12 -> port 12 (physical loop)
When i have this set up and traffic running from my test set , i keep getting LOF alarms on my test set.
However for some reason it works for only 2 ports... anything past 2 ports seems to be unstable and i get alarms..
Any ideas? -
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? -
Issue with cisco ONS 15310. Slot with Ethernet ports, designed for bridging.
Hi, guys. I’ve got an issue with cisco ONS 15310 sdh optical network. I’ve got a special slot with Ethernet ports, designed for bridging. Assume, we’ve got to multiplexers, named A and B with ports A0 and B0 respectively. The ios console of these slots says, the configuration is as follows:
no ip address set on these ports
Ports are administratively up
Auto mdix
Bridge groups are the same on these ports.
Dot1q tunnel.
I’m trying to monitor a device with an ip-address connected to port B0. It answers ping if I connect the notebook directly to a device. But if I connect the notebook to port A0 and ping the device pluged in port B0 through the optical network, it doesn’t answer. I tried connections with straight and cross cable.
Guys, who set the network said, it should work as a point to point bridge with no extra configuration. But it doesn’t. I used wireshark sniffer to lookup what’s happening on port A0. All I see is cdp-s from port A0 and self-announcements of the notebook.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.B

I am looking for cbt or knowlegeNet like traning video for the ONS 15454? Is such available? I am happy to pay :)
Francisco.Take a look at the offerings listed at http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le31/ase/offerings/optical/index.html
These courses are offered by partners - Global Knowledge seems to be doing most of the ONS classes. According to a search I did just now, "Cisco ONS 15454 Turn Up, Test, Provisioning, and Operation Training (OCTPO) v7.0" is being offered at several locations in the USA and Canada this year.
Other than the classroom-based training, I'm afraid your alternative is to slog through the manuals in conjunction with hands-on experience as the only alternative. Personally, I'd not recommend that path unless you have an experienced mentor to guide you along. There're a good number of complexities that are difficult to discern without guidance.
Hope this helps. Please rate helpful posts. -
Ethernet over OC-3 between a E100T-12 (ONS 15454) and a remote device
What CISCO device will accept an OC-3 (non-ATM) interface and establish an Ethernet connection with a E100T-12 card in a CISCO ONS 15454?
You could map an Ethernet circuit from an ONS 15327 over an OC3 and terminate it on E100T-12 on the 15454. Hope that helps.

Cisco 3617 to ONS 15454 E100T CAT5 Cabling
In an ethernet connection from a Cisco 7613 router ethernet port through a patch panel to an ONS 15454 E100T interface card, is a crossover cable required and if so, does convention dictate the crossover cable be installed on the router side of the patch panel or on the ONS side?
Yes, it should be a crossover cable.
I don't think there's a specific convention for placement, whichever side is best for you. However, it should be well-labeled (flags, tage, blinking lights, whatever) as a crossover cable to prevent it's replacement with a standard cable during troubleshooting.
Good Luck

Dears,
I am new on cisco optical, kindly help me below. Currently we have a requirement to provide one of our customer an STM-4 IP Transit connection, For that we are getting an STM-4 from an SDH device (Ciena CD) direct to us and here (between our upstream and customer) we would like to use our ONS MSPP and deliver the same circuit to customer IP equipment.
How can we deliver the circuit using our ONS device. Shall we cross connect STM-4 SDH -••àSTM-4 SDH interface and deliver. Also we need to check the performance of the circuit as well.
JohnAlex,
