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

Hi Emyrsonn,
I hope this ONS 15454 upgrade tool can help you answering all your questions
http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/optical/15000r/upgrade/guide/ons-upgrade.html
It seems like you should be able to directly upgrade from 9.1.x to 9.2.2.
Please let me know if you have any comments on that.
Hope it helps!

ONS 15454 both tcc2p cards are not working.

Hello everybody,
I have a situation when due to unknown reason both tcc2p cards in one node are not working.
There are no active LEDs, ethernet, rs-232 are not function aswell. At the same time the LCD monitor on the node also dead.
The services were not affected, we just lost control.
We have one tcc2p card in a stock, backup configuration exists, fortunatelly.
My questions are:
1. Can node operate with one tcc2p card?
2. If yes, what is the right procedure to replace two dead tcc2p to new one?
Thank you in advance, really need help in it.

Dmitry,
Was anything taking place before this happen? Maintenance event or upgrade? When you say the LCD monitor is dead do you mean it does not light up at all or that it just shows black boxes across it? You can run a node with one TCC card but it is hard to tell which one is the culprit based on the information. Can you still ping the node at all? If you can you can try logging into it via TL1 and retrieving the alarms on the node to see exactly what is going on. Based on the information you have given best bet would be to remove one of the TCC cards during a maintenance window to see if the other restores or not. If not then plug back in the one that was taken out and to the same for the other card. This shouldn't drop traffic but I would do in during a maintenance window just in case since we don't know the exact cause of the issue. Hope this gets you started.

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.

Is it possible to directly upgrade 15454 M12 TCC2 rel 9.10 to rel 9.221?

I'm planning to upgrade our client's node an ONS 15454M12 from release 9.10 to release 9.221. Can i directly loadand upgrade it to release 9.221 or do I need to do step upgrade 9.10 to 9.211 then 9.221? Is it service affecting? ...many thanks.... cheers...

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?

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 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.

Currently Being Moderated
ONS 15454 Recommendations
Hello Guys,
Just looking for some recommendations / best practices from experienced ONS 15454 engineers for the following questions.
Scenario:
There are 2 sites located 130 km away from one to the other and we want to provide a wan connectivity via ONS 15454.
Questions:
1. The ethernet / DWDM modules preferred
2. The typical wave length will be used -- 1550 or 1310?
3. What are the speeds supported on the modules?
4. What should be the recommended max losses / power budget for 130 km for Cisco ONS to work properly?
5. Any specific recommendations.
Thanks & Regards
Jay

1. The ethernet / DWDM modules preferred
GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, OTU2_XP, ML cards,
CE-Series 10-Port Multirate Ethernet Card, 10DME, MXP, 10x10 there are lot of cards depends on your requirement, line rates coming from WAN device, types of module present on WAN side.
2. The typical wave length will be used -- 1550 or 1310?
depends if you looking for a SDH/SONET solution, will say 1550, if DWDM than it will be composite siganal with MUX/DMUX.
3. What are the speeds supported on the modules?
10mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, 1Gig, 10Gig, 40gig and 100Gig depends on your requirement :-)
4. What should be the recommended max losses / power budget for 130 km for Cisco ONS to work properly?
around 35dB to 39dB of span loss, looks you need amplification.
5. Any specific recommendations.
we need to discuss your requiremnets, there are lot of sloution available.

Cisco ONS 15454 SONET MSPP

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.

1:1 Card Protection ONS 15454

Hi All,
I am trying to understand the reason why the protect card/port shouldn't be in OOS(Out of service) to avoid any traffic loss even though the protect card is not switching traffic in ONS 15454 as stated below
"When a protection switch moves traffic from the DS3-12 working/active card to the DS3-12 protect/standby card, ports
on the new active/standby card cannot be taken out of service as long as traffic is switched. Lost traffic can result
when a port is taken out of service even if the DS3-12 standby card no longer carries traffic."
Thanking You
Regards

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
Scott
