ONS 15454 MSTP & SNMP for MRTG

I can't find regular oid for optical power and span loss. I need them for mrtg statistics.

I have not found an SNMP value for span loss but you may be able to calculate it as the difference between the transmit power and rceive power across a span. You may want to look at cOpticalParameterValue 1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.2.30.1.1.1.3 and cMsDwdmIfTransportPower 1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.2.40.1.2.1.3 as the base OIDs for ports on OPT-BST, OPT-PRE, and MXPP cards. So far for me the values are matching up with those presented in CTC. I'm running sw version 8.5 so things may be different if you are running a significantly different version. To see RX power I add on to the base OID... cOpticalParameterValue.%inst%.1.1 . It is similar for TX and laser bias power etc. TX power = cOpticalParameterValue.%inst%.2.1 . Bias= cOpticalParameterValue.%inst%.2.5 .
I hope this helps!

Dual Ring Capabilty for ONS 15454 MSTP

Hi!
I am designing a MPLS over DWDM network which consist of one core DWDM ring and several regional DWDM ring using ONS 15454 MSTP. I would like to connect the regional ring to the core ring via P router in this case Cisco 12406GSR. My major concern now is to reduce the number of boxes especially on the DWDM part. Can an ONS box connect to 2 DWDM ring, regional and core directly without using a router in the middle. Apreciate your expert opinions. Thanks.

Core DWDM ring and Regional DWDM ring are built using ROADM cards for full add/drop flexibility. Wavelengths can be engineered to pass between rings by physically patching at the wavelength level. By using the Mesh/Multiring Upgrade card (available today - see data sheet below) you can prepare the network for Degree-N capability, allowing multiple rings to be connected via a single point with dynamic wavelength provisioning across the rings.

Latency in MXP on ONS 15454 MSTP

Hi!
Have a question concerning latency in MXP for ONS 15454 MSTP. How do you define and measure it? I mean in for MXP you basically mux many client signals in to one lambda. Since this muxing requires O-E-O process there got to be some latency? Or is the values to small that it become neglible and we dont have to worry about it. My customer is asking me this and I cant come up with a definitive answer. To me there's practically none, it work at optical level, as to determine latency it is enough just from looking and end-to-end ping result on client side. Apreciate your expert advice.

DWDM: ONS 15454 MSTP M6 TNCE and TSCE

In a ONS 15454 MSTP M6 chassy (DWDM) both Transport Node Controller (TNC) and Transport Shelf Controller (TSC) cards can be installed in slot 1and 8 to perform system initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance and diagnostics.
Can someboby clarify the following:
1) What is the difference between a TNCE and TSCE Card? (The only difference I found is that TNCE can be configured with one or two SFP ports to provide the OSC termination while TSCE not. Are there other differences? )
2) Is it possible to intall in the same 15454 M6 chassy one TNCE and one TSCE card?
3) Are there any circumstance under which is mandatory to install the TNCE card?
4) Is there any suggested cisco documentation or book explaining it in details?
Thanks

You can use an Mutiple M6 chassis in one node in a Multi Shelf configuration the TNC cards are designed to go in the the Primary or 1st node and you can use the TSC cards in the other nodes and connect them together using the MSM ports on the ECU cards.
Yes your are correct regarding the OSC ports are not enabled on the TSC cards. The TSC cards are a lower cost then the TNC cards as they are only for use with a subtended shelf.
2) Is it possible to intall in the same 15454 M6 chassis one TNCE and one TSCE card?
I dont believe so however you can install just a single TNCE card in a chassis if you don't require redundancy
3) Are there any circumstance under which is mandatory to install the TNCE card?
I believe a TNCE card is required for any node in a standalone configuration or in a Multi Shelf configuration.

ONS 15454 MSTP Client Connection Options

Hi!
Have questions regarding client connection options to ONS 15454 MSTP. FYI, I have experience on ONS 15540 ESPx and I usually connect client to the ONS using transponder like this
ONS 15540 ESPx
Client<->transponder<->OADM<->OADM<->transponder<->client
I am new to ONS 15454 MSTP and from the reference manual I understand that the it can be configured as hub, passive oadm, anti ase etc. My questions is how does the client get connected to each of this configurations
For example, for a passive or amplified nodes the client connections would be like this
ONS 15454 MSTP
client<->transponder<->OADM<->OA<->OA<->OADM<->transponder<->client
What about hub nodes where mux/demux card are used, where does the client connect,I do understand that these cards have to be used in pairs.
As always,appreciate your expert opinions and if you can point me to a web link that would be even better. Many Thanks.

In both cases, the client (assuming it has a non-ITU output) will connect via a transponder or muxponder card. This takes the client signal and converts (with multiplexing in the muxponder case) the client signal into an ITU wavelength.
On the MSTP, the ITU port on the transponder/muxponder is then physically patched into the appropriate port on either ROADM, OADM or Mux/Demux cards.
To directly answer your question, on a hub node equipped with Mux/Demux cards, the Tx from the Transponder is connected to the Mux card, and the Rx connected to the Demux. Likewise, at the node where the wavelength is dropped (eg at an OADM site), there will be an equivalent transpoder connected to the OADM module (Tx and Rx at wavelength xyz).
The transponders/muxponders may be in the same shelf, separate shelves, or you may use a direct ITU connection from devices such as a DWDM GBIC, an SDH DWDM card or 10GE XENPAK from Catalyst 6500.
As long as you have designed the network to take the appropriate interface types into account, you should be fine.

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 V8.5 and SNMP V2c

Can someone tell me if the ONS-15454 support INFORM Traps?
I'm trying to get INFORM Traps working with my NMS, but I don't think it's working. Either I don't have it configured correctly or its supported on the ONS.
Many Thanks

You are correct. INFORM Requests are different from TRAPS. Both are sent from the monitored device to the SNMP Manager. Both advise the SNMP Manager of an event that has occurred. The difference is the INFORM Request requires a response from the SNMP Manager while a TRAP does not. The INFORM Request allows the monitored device to know that the SNMP Manager has received his message.
Now to the ONS... it supports TRAPS, but not INFORM Requests.

Native fibre channel using SL cards on ONS 15454.

Greetings,
I normally hang out in the Storage Networking forum but I thought this would be a good spot to ask a question.
We current have a dark fibre connection between our sites and have issues with our Brocade switches (yeah, they should be MDS) with buffer zero problems. We want to add more bandwidth for our ISL's and we have a couple of ONS 15454's hanging around in racks in our datacentres.. I have been looking at the SL cards for the 15454 and would like to know if anyone has had success with them. I need to do synchronous True Copy between the storage at both sites for a new project. We are using async now but that wont be good enough.
Any comments would be welcome.
Stephen

Stephen,
I don't have any SL cards in production, but do have ML cards, and a myriad of TXP/MXP's on MSTP platforms.
I can tell you, the ML card does a decent job with distance extension is turned on. I have a few STS-24's extended across 400-500KM span lengths for TAPE drives across ML cards and see consistently high throughput.
Measured latency across a 70km span was about 600us with an ML card. Pretty close to an equivalent circuit built across a Muxponder.
I would venture to say, the only concern that you may have with synchronous replication is the latency.
Regards,
Tom.

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 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 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.

ONS 15454 Config Backup

Does cisco have a tool to automate the database backup process for the ONS 15454?

CTM - Cisco Transport Manager. It's Cisco's enterprise management tool for the optical products. It does a lot more than just backup the dbs - and has an accordingly non-trivial cost.
See the info on the products and services pages at http://cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/opticsw/ps2204/index.html. The product data sheet (http://cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps5730/ps2204/data_sheet_c78-518130.html) is a good start.

ONS 15454 Training

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.
