Rack design for two ONS 15454's and two 15540-PWR-AC power supplies...

Looking for advice setting up two ONS boxes with two 15540-PWR-AC power supplies. The manuals/CCO show rack design for just the ONS boxes and a fuse/alarm panel. I have two side by side racks for the gear. Has anyone set up the power supplies for an ONS installation? Any feedback would be great.
thx.

Review the AC/DC Power Solution Data Sheet:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6063/products_data_sheet0900aecd801a002a.html
Per the Data Sheet...
The Medium will power 1x 15454
The Large will power 2x 15454
A few things to note...
1. The Power Solution can possibly power more 454s based on the actual power draw of the nodes.
2. There are only 4 circuit breakers on the Large expansion panel. A & B power for 2 454s.
3. It is recommended 454s have 30A fuses/breakers per power source. This can change based on the actual hardware config.
4. You could possibly use the 15A GMT fuses.
5. You could possibly incorporate an external PDU for additional fuses.

Design for two interacting, extensible classes

Hi,
I have a design problem where I have two interacting classes that both need to be highly extensible. I'm pretty sure this not an uncommon problem but I can't really seem to find an appropriate pattern to implement it.
The problem comes from the field of reinforcement learning, where an Agent learns some task in an Environment by executing Actions based on the current State of the environment. The State has to be provided by the Environment, and the Action chosen by the Agent based on that State has to be executed on the Environment. I thus have an Environment interface (for multi-agent problems) like so:
public interface Environment {
     //execute given action for given agent (e.g., move the agent, let the agent pick up smth
        //in the env, etc), and return a reward
     public double executeAction( Action act, Agent a );
     //compute and return state of given agent (e.g., what the agent can currently see in the
       //environment)
     public State getState( Agent a );
}There can be many different types of environments, and many different types of actions. So I thought of having a callback method on the Action that the Environment calls in method executeAction, like:
public interface Action {
     //execute on the given environment for the given agent
     public void execute(Environment env, Agent a);
}In that case you could have the same environment (e.g., a world with blocks), and different actions (say move, push a block away, pick up a block, etc). Does this make any sense? It's a little like the Command pattern perhaps?
There are two things I'm worried about. One is that the Action would need to cast the received Environment to the right implementation, but I guess that's unavoidable. The other (actually two) is that the Environment implementation would need to expose the right methods for the action to be able to execute, plus I don't always want an Action to be able to do anything it wants with the environment (e.g. teleport the agent, remove all obstacles). On the other hand maybe I shouldn't worry about the latter since it's just meant to be a toolkit, so if people using it want to program actions to teleport the agent, that's their business.
Any suggestions/comments greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

I am not a native english speaker, and I'm not sure I understand your description. Is the following pseudo-code a correct description of your design?No problem, me neither. Maybe that's why it was hard to understand :) Actually, an agent should by no means have direct access to the environment: it is only allowed to perceive things through the State object it receives. So the design is something like:
public interface Agent {
        //do a step: choose an action based on the current state, and learn from
        //the reward received after the last action.
     public Action doStep( State s, double reward );
public class Simulator {
        //do one simulation step
     public void doStep() {
          State s;
          Action act;
          for ( Agent a : agents ) {
                        //get the agent's state from the environment
               s = env.getState(a);
                        //let the agent choose an action based on that state (lastReward is stored in a Map, omitted)
               act = a.doStep(s, lastReward);
                        //execute action on the environment and store the reward for this agent
               lastReward = env.executeAction(act, a));
There are two things I'm worried about. One is that the Action would need to cast the received Environment to the right implementation, but I guess that's unavoidable.Why? Cant he environment interface define abstract "modifier" methods that make sense to all implementations?Not really. An environment can be anything: a world with objects that the agent has to collect/avoid (I chose that example because I thought it might be easy to visualise and understand). A Blackjack game in which the agent has to choose to get another card or stop. The stock market in which the agent has to make trading decisions. And so on.
And iff the actions are specific to some environment implementations, then each environment can implement executeAction his way, for example calling different Action methods. In this case the Action become merely a Visitor.Yes, I indeed looked at the Visitor pattern, but I think it's not flexible enough. The types of the environments / actions need to be known beforehand, and in my case they can be anything.
The other (actually two) is that the Environment implementation would need to expose the right methods for the action to be able to execute, plus I don't always want an Action to be able to do anything it wants with the environment (e.g. teleport the agent, remove all obstacles).Method executeAction should use only those methods exposed in interface Environment (which is the type of the env argument).
If the Action and Agent implementations need some different views of the environments, just define two different interfaces.Hmm, yes. The problem is that the Environment interface should pretty much only specify those methods that I listed. Those are the methods necessary for the reinforcement learning paradigm (basically as implemented in the Simulator). Adding additional, problem-specific methods to that interface would not make sense, because environments can be anything. But, perhaps I could do something like:
public interface BlockWorld {
     public boolean move(Block b);
     public Block getBlockAt(int x, int y);
public class SomeWorld implements Environment, BlockWorld {}
public class PushAction implements Action {
     @Override
     public void execute(Environment env, Agent a) {
                //unavoidable (?) cast
          BlockWorld world = (BlockWorld) env;
          //get the block that the agent is facing, and move it
          //as specified in the action
}So define an interface according to the methods the world wants to expose. The only concern is that the same world (with obstacles and what not) could be used in a lot of different contexts, and I guess it's not desirable to subclass it every time just to make it implement an additional interface because one wants to expose different methods. But maybe I can use the Adapter pattern for this?

How to make a design for a whole t-shirt and then make the shirt?

Hi all,
I have an idea for a t-shirt design that would require that the entire shirt be printed, not just the front and/or back. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on:
1.) How I would make the design on Photoshop CS5 (I also have Illustrator CS3, so I could use that.) BTW: If it helps any, it would be one pattern across the whole t-shirt.
2.) How the heck do I get this made up? Is there a way to make this up at home? Is there a website like Zazzle that will print on the whole t-shirt?
Thanks!!

Well #1 is way to ambiguous...... design it however you want as long as it's ready for whatever production processes is used.
#2... No. There are no quick, one-off shops that will do this. In order to have an entire shirt printed, the material is printed flat, then the shirt is cut and sewn from the printed material. This isn't a cheap processes. You might try calling a few local silk screen shops to see if they can refer you to a company that does this. Honestly, unless your'e willing to make a few thousand shirts it's not going to be worth the cost.

Best Design for Home Network Between PC and Mac

Good day, all!
Forgive me if this has been covered before - I could not find a thread addressing this very issue.
I have an iMac, and my wife refuses to give up her PC. She is also not that great at routinely backing up her PC laptop, leaving it to me to do it periodically. To address this, I purchased an Airport Extreme and hooked up an external hard drive, hoping that she would use it (she doesn't). I partitioned the hard drive such that half is formatted for TimeMachine (I periodically hook up my iMac physically to the hard drive to perform back ups) and the other half is formatted such that both the PC and Mac can access it, though neither can automatically back up to it.
(If you've made it this far: thank you, thank you, thank you.)
I would like to set up the network in a more efficient manner. I realize that doing so will likely preclude me from taking advantage of the TimeMachine function, but I would like to design this home network such that my wife's computer will automatically back up to the hard drive (she has tons of pictures and does not routintely back them up) and allow all computers to easily access and "sync" with the external hard drive. In other words, I would like to create a way in which the local hard drive of each computer (or a folder within) mirrors the contents of the network (Airport Extreme) hard drive.
I understand that Dropbox sort of does this by having a folder on each machine that syncs with each other and with an off-site server, but I prefer to keep it local (and not pay a monthly fee).
Is this possible? Or should I simply maintain separate hard drives for each computer?
I appreciate any and all help.
James

Ok, first be aware that Apple does NOT support Time Machine backups to an AirPort Disk (an external USB HDD connected to an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)). These may appear to work for a while, but it's only a matter of time before them become corrupted ... and I highly recommend that if your data is critical to stop using this method.
At best, the AirPort Disk can be used for file storage. It may also be possible to use it with a Windows-based backup solution, but not Time Machine. One example product for Windows is Genie9's Genie Timeline Home which is similar to Time Machine in operation.
With that said, the best backup performance (for either OS) would be to either use a dedicated external HDD attached to each device or to use a dedicated NAS device ... preferably connected by Ethernet. Some NAS devices also provide Time Machine support. One of them is the Drobo FS.

Design for two different JVM

Hi,
I would like to design my java application which will run on both java SE & ME jvm. This application will be invoked by the c++ using JNI. Actually all business logic is in the JAVA application and c++ will do the JNI communication for the same. However here only JNI communication layer will be different for both SE and ME jvms, other wise rest of the modules will remain same for both JVMs. Actually some proprietary JNI communication module is in place for java ME which we need to use when same application will be run on the java ME otherwise we need to write our own communication logic for the java SE jvm. How can I design java application so that it will be compatible for both the JVMs.

user3516155 wrote:
So How can I design the application?I believe I already answered that - use a communication layer.
If you are asking (different than your original question) about how your communication layer might implement similar functionality using different APIs supported by the VM then the same basic idea applies - provide a layer, code to the layer and implement the layer different for each platform.
Note however that it is foolhardy to carry this to an extreme. Don't wrap trivial functionality to gain minimal gains because it increases complexity and thus maintenance costs.

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 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.

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.

Question on Support for XML in Oracle 9i and XDK 9.0.1

Hi All,
I just went through the Oracle 9i's features for XML. I have been working with Oracle's XDK too. I noticed that there are some new packages in Oracle 9i like SYS_XMLGEN and DBMS_XMLGEN that produce a XML file when presented a query to it. This feature is there in the XDK (XML SQL Utility) too. So, my question is as follows:
1. Are there any differences in the XML File produced by XDK and these database packages?
2. What are the scenerios when I should go for these packages and when should I go for the XSQL Utility.
Cos I found out that both are doing effectively the same things. Is there any difference between them? Please explain the second question.
Thanks in advance,
Rajat

The sys_xmlagg and sys_xmlgen are native implementations of functionality tied into the database code line. They replicate some of the functionality that was previously provided in a 'plugin' form by the XDK. DBMS_XMLGEN is a PLSQL Package that also provides access to native implimentations of some of this functionalitu. You should find that as a result of being native implimentation they are much more performant.
SYS_XMLGEN and SYS_XMLAGG allow XML to be generated directly from a SQL Query. DBMS_XMLGEN is designed for use in procedural processing and provides a finer grain of control over the generated output.
There are still some features, such as DTD and Schema generation that are not (yet) available with the native implementation, and for this reason, and backwards compatability the XDK functionality is still available
As a rules of thumb, if you can use the native implimentations do so, as performance should be much better.

Tunnel design for FRR

Hi,
first, I can't speak english very well, but, I need your help. please, some help.
I want to design for mpls backbone by Cat6509 and 10G module. following bellow
SW1 ---- SW2 ------ SW3
|........................................|
SW4----------------------SW5
I something confused that is to use FRR. how tunnel to use in this design?
for example, i think SW1 primary connection is SW2, and backup tunnel is SW1 -SW4 - SW5 - SW3 - SW2 and SW2 is primary connection is SW3, and backup tunnel is SW2 - SW3 - SW4 - SW5 - SW1 - SW2. Is this right?
if between SW1 and SW4 connection failed because fiber cut, then, Will SW2 guaranted SW4 connection?

If the primary connection between SW1 and SW4 fails because of a Fibre cut, the fibre connection from SW2 to SW4 will be intact and will work fine. Since the connectivity between SW1 and SW4 is independant of the connectivity between SW2 and SW4 there will be no loss of connectivity between SW2 and SW4.

3rd party video cable "Not designed for iPhone" message

Ok i got the original Apple Component Video Cable...works fine and everything...i went to a friends (he has the 3GS) house and we are going to use my iPhone 4 to watch NetFlix on the big screen...he has a RocketFish brand(looks a lot better than Apple ones)...i hooked it up and says "not designed for iPhone" but works perfectly and even better picture quality...
So Why do we get a message like that were its pretty much the same cable just different brand? Is there like a chip inside that says original apple product or something?

you know i wonder the same thing im guessing that its the pin layout that does it and not a chip but thats my guess...

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.

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.
