Cisco ONS 15454 User manual

Turning Up a Node
This chapter explains how to provision a single Cisco ONS 15454 node and turn it up for service, including
assigning the node name, date, and time; provisioning timing references; provisioning network attributes such
as IP address and default router; setting up users and user security; installing cards; and creating DWDM
connections.
The procedures and tasks described in this chapter for the Cisco ONS 15454 platform is applicable to the
Cisco ONS 15454 M2 and Cisco ONS 15454 M6 platforms, unless noted otherwise.
Note
Procedures in this chapter require that you have a network plan calculated for your DWDM network with
Cisco Transport Planner. Cisco Transport Planner is a DWDM planning tool that is available from your Cisco
account representative. Cisco Transport Planner prepares a shelf plan for each network node and calculates
the power and attenuation levels for the DWDM cards installed in the node. For information about Cisco
Transport Planner, contact your Cisco account representative. For instructions on using Cisco Transport
Planner, refer to the Cisco Transport Planner DWDM Operations Guide.
Note
Unless otherwise specified, in this document “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI (ONS 15454) and ETSI
(ONS 15454 SDH) shelf assemblies.
Note
Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) views referenced in these procedures depend on the mode. In single-shelf
mode, the views are network, node, and card. In multishelf mode, the views are network, multishelf, shelf,
and card. For more information about CTC views, refer to CTC Enhancements, Operations, and Shortcuts.
Note
In this chapter, “100G-LC-C card” refers to the 15454-M-100G-LC-C card. “10x10G-LC” refers to the
15454-M-10x10G-LC card. “CFP-LC” refers to the 15454-M-CFP-LC card.

Step 3 Complete the following in the Create SNMP Trap Destination dialog box.
• Destination IP Address—Type the IP address of your network management system (NMS). If the node
you are logged into is an ENE, set the destination address to the GNE.
You can configure IPv6 addresses for SNMPv2/v3 trap destinations and SNMPv3 proxy targets,
in addition to IPv4 addresses.

OpenSSH Version

• Community—Type the SNMP community name. For a description of SNMP community names, refer
to the SNMP document.
The community name is a form of authentication and access control. The community name
assigned to the ONS 15454 is case-sensitive and must match the community name of the NMS.
Note
• UDP Port—The default User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for SNMP is 162.
• Trap version—Choose either SNMPv1 or SNMPv2. Refer to your NMS documentation to determine
which version to use.
• Click OK. The node IP address of the node where you provisioned the new trap destination appears in
the Trap Destinations area.
Step 4 Click the node IP address in the Trap Destinations area. Verify the SNMP information that appears in the
Selected Destination list.
Step 5 If you want the SNMP agent to accept SNMP SET requests on certain MIBs, click the Allow SNMP Sets
check box. If this box is not checked, SET requests are rejected.
Step 6 If you want to set up the SNMP proxy feature to allow network management, message reporting, and
performance statistic retrieval across firewalls, click the Allow SNMP Proxy check box located on the SNMP
tab.
The Use Generic MIB check box is normally not checked for MSTP. It is checked only when the
ONS 15454 resides in networks with multiple ONS products, and the network management system
requires MIBs with the same name to have the same object IDs. By default, the ONS 15454 uses
the CERENT-454-MIBs. Other ONS products, such as the ONS 15600, the ONS 15327, and ONS
15310-CL, use the CERENT-GENERIC-MIBs. If Use Generic MIB is checked, the ONS 15454
will use the CERENT-GENERIC-MIBs so the object IDs will be the same for all products.
Note
Using the firewall proxy feature effectively breaches the firewall to exchange management
information.
For more information about the SNMP proxy feature, refer to SNMP.
Note
Step 7 Click Apply.
Step 8 If you are setting up SNMP proxies, you can set up to three relays that send SNMP trap error counts back to
the NE for each trap destination address:
a) Click the first trap destination IP address. The address and its community name appear in the Destination
fields.
b) Enter up to three SNMP Proxy relay addresses and community names in the fields for Relay A, Relay B,
and Relay C.
The community names specified for each relay node must match one of the provisioned SNMP
community names in the NE.
Note
The SNMP proxy directs SNMP traps from this node through Relay A to Relay B to Relay C
to the trap destination. Ensure that you enter the IP addresses in the correct order so that this
sequence runs correctly.

This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work
on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard
practices for preventing accidents. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to
the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document for the appropriate Cisco chassis. Statement
274
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch
the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
Warning
Class I (CDRH) and Class 1M (IEC) laser products. Statement 1055
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not
view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example,
eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye hazard. Statement
1056
Warning
High-performance devices on this card can get hot during operation. To remove the card, hold it by the
faceplate and bottom edge. Allow the card to cool before touching any other part of it or before placing it in
an antistatic bag. Statement 201
The optical Add/Drop cards and ROADM cards need a maximum of 15 minutes to warm up to ambient
temperature, after it is inserted into a shelf. The card configurations or settings are unavailable during this
period.
Warning
Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge (ESD) wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454.
For detailed instructions on how to wear the ESD wristband, refer to the Electrostatic Discharge and Grounding
Guide for Cisco CPT and Cisco ONS Platforms.
Caution
For United States installations, complies with the United States Federal Drug Administration Code of Federal
Regulations Title 21, Sections 1040.10 and 1040.11, except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50,
dated July 26, 2001.
Note
If protective clips are installed on the backplane connectors of the cards, remove the clips before installing
the cards.

NTP-G30 Installing the DWDM Cards

If you install a card incorrectly, the FAIL LED flashes continuously.
Note
The line cards released before R10.5 need a new bootcode to be installed in Cisco NCS 2015 chassis. These
cards upgrade to a new bootcode automatically when they are installed between slots 2 and 7.
The following scenarios need to be considered while installing these cards with old bootcode between slots
8 and 16.
• The TXP/MXP cards like OTU2-XP, 40E-MXP-C, PSM, TXP-MR-10E do not boot in slots 8, 9, and
10.
• Optical amplifier line cards do not boot in slots 8, 9, and 10. These cards do not appear in the Inventory
tab in CTC.
• When the TNCS/TNCS-O card is installed only in slot 1, the AR_XPE, AR_XP and AR_MXP cards do
not boot in slots 8, 9, 10, 15, and 16. When the TNCS card is installed only in slot 17, these cards do not
boot in slots 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16.
• When an old line card and a new card are installed in the adjacent slots simultaneously in slots between
slot 2 and 7, either of the cards or both the cards do not boot.
• Old line cards do not boot in slot 15 and slot 16. An INC_BOOTCODE (Incompatible Bootcode) alarm
is raised in this scenario.
The INC_BOOTCODE alarm is a transient alarm raised at the shelf. For more information on the
INC_BOOTCODE alarm, see Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide, Release 10.x.x.
Workaround:
1. Remove the card that did not install correctly from the slot.
2. Install the card in any slots between slot 2 and 7. This upgrades the bootcode for the card. The line cards
supported in Cisco NCS 2015 can now be installed in any slots between slot 2 and 16.
The INC_BOOTCODE alarm is not supported on the following SCL cards -
• OTU2XP
• 40E-MXP-C
• PSM
• TXP-MR-10E
Note
For instructions on proper handling of the 80-WXC-C card, see 80-WXC-C Card Handling.
Procedure
