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 LOS-O minor alarm problem

Hello everybody, wish you a nice day!
I have 2 ONS 15454 at 2 site in linear mode.
ONS 1 (side A) -------- line 1 -------- ONS 2 (side B)
ONS 1 (side B) -------- line 2 -------- ONS 2 (side A)
3 days ago, I got the LOS-O alarm. I have followed the instruct from troubleshooting guide but could not clear this alarm.
Here is the site view:

(In this firgure, dont care about side A, my trunk line is cut . The problem is on side B, it pops some minor alarm but the connection is still ok)
ALARM:
You can see that there are: SPANLEN-OUT-OF-RANGE and LOS-O. The problem is the power on line RX on OSC-CSM card is below the configured threshold, right? I have monitored the power and the value is -19.5 dbm.
Then I go to Provisioning --> WDM-ANS --> side B --> Rx --> Threshold.OSC LOS is imported as -23.5 dbm.
I also checked the span loss, the measured spanloss is 15.2 (resolution 1.5). It is between the Min exp span loss (15) and Max exp span loss (17).
So what is the problem, please help me to clear this alarm. Thank you very much.

You are right. the alarm is shown as the power is below the threshold.
If we have OSC LOS threshold set to -23.5 and the total Rx power is Rx power is about -23.5 (on the 40 km span) then we definitely below the threshold as we need to subtract the payload power from the total to get OSC.
Average loss on a fiber is 0.3dB per km, hence the expected loss on 40km would be around 12dB. I doubt the OS Tx power on the remote end is -11dBm (-23 + 12) so most likely that is the fiber/connector issue.
Swap Line Rx and Tx fibers on both switches on OSC-CSM card to verify if the problem follows the fiber or stay with the cards.

Alex.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?
Thanga

Thanga,
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.

Error in ONS 15454 NE backup

Hi ,
I'm working on a GNE and subtending NE setup with ONS 15454.When i run the COPY-RFILE TL1 command parallely through a script, I'm getting the following error from the NE.
/* ERROR - -5000 - FTP Error */
Any pointers on the root cause of this error would be helpful.
Thanks,
Muthaiah

Hi.
I see, you have ONS 15454 Multishelf Node.
Do you see in CTC Substending Shelf w/o problem ?
Do you try reset Control Cards on the Node Controlleand Substending Shelf ?
Cisco use FTP for data transmission beetwen NC and SS.
Do you see same error, when download SW via CTC ?
What Control Cards ans version SW do you use ?
and what version SW you download to the NE ?
Best regards,
Sergey Suharev

6509 to ons 15454 showing not connect.

Were running into a problem moving from an oc48 to oc192. In our web enviornment we have a Front-end switch and a Back-end switch in two data centers that are 10 miles apart. Were running a "gigaman" betweent the two. On both ends we have cs6509's and were patched into the Gbic interface on the sup2's. This fiber is ran to are lec's ons 15454 which I have no visibility into. We are unable to get a connection on the 6509's. Were doing basic layer 2 trunking between the switches. Sbc tested from the fiber on the switch to a loop on the other switch and was able to test clean. This worked on the oc-48 but are switches were not connected to a cisco ons. Any suggestions would be apperciated. You can also email me at [email protected] or AIM jjt8572.

Have you checked that you have matched the physical media framing - e.g., LAN PHY needs to speak to LAN PHY (or WAN PHY to WAN PHY). Typically the ONS 15454 would be looking for a SONET frames (WAN PHY) while a Cisco 6509 would be sending 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN frames (LAN PHY). That is, unless you specifically choose an interface for your 6509 such as the XENPAK-10GB-LW (10GBASE-LW XENPAK Module with WAN PHY for SMF). From that product's data sheet: "The Cisco 10GBASE-LW Module supports a link length of 10 kilometers on standard single-mode fiber (SMF) (G.652).
WAN-PHY is intended to allow the transport of 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a traditional SONET/SDH infrastructure. The purpose of WAN-PHY is to render 10 Gigabit Ethernet compatible with SONET STS-192c format and data rate, as defined by ANSI, as well as the SDH VC-4-64c container specified by ITU."
One can also use Cisco ONS transponder cards that will wrap LAN PHY framing in something like G.709 encapsulation to allow it to be transported through a DWDM network.

ONS 15454 issue

Hello! I'm new in this network infrastructure and i have to create a fiber ring between 3 ons 15454 dwdm but i managed only to make an osc between them . On every platform i have an transponder 2.5Gbps. My problem is that i can't create some provisionable patchcord and also some ochcc,only ochnc and when i activate the transponders my rx com line on every opt-bst show me an "incoming payload signal absent" error. Can anyone give me some advice or some steps to follow in creating this ring ? Hope i've been clear and sorry my poor english. Thank's a lot!

TS3988 "Problem turning on mail" -iCloud

I'm attempting to sync notes on my iPhone through the cloud. When I hit the slider in iCloud preferences to do this, I'm prompted to create an "@iCloud" email address. When I attempt to do this, I get an alert that reads "Problem turning on mail. There was a problem turning on your email, try again."
I've tried many times and restarted my phone, to no avail. My calendar, reminders, contacts etc. all sync up just fine.
I'm running iOS 6.0 (beta) and Mountain Lion. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same exact problem on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. I've read dozens of forum posts but have yet to find an answer.

HT4859 problem turning on phone there was a problem turning on your email. try again

I am getting a message "problem turning on phone there was a problem turning on your email. try again"

Have you tried the simple things first like a reboot...hold both the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears? Sometimes it is also necessary to remove and reenter a password in case it has been corrupted. And sometimes I have just had a bad connection signal and that has been the issue.

My iphone 5s 16 gb has an camera problem, turn the camera on tap all green, please help me

Hi teejayfs,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've noticed unexpected behavior with your iPhone camera, start with these steps to isolate or resolve the issue:
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
