SC, ST, and FC. Fiber optic cables are routed to the front of the OC-N cards. The ONS 15600 is powered using –48 VDC power but may range from –40.5 to –72 VDC. Input power is accessible from the sides of the bay, and output power is accessible at the rear of the bay. Cisco supports dual office-power feeds only.
ONS 15600 with Dollies Installed The ONS 15600 shelf measures 25 inches high, 19-9/16 inches wide, and 23 inches deep (63.5 cm H x 49.7 cm W x58.3 cm D). A maximum of three ONS 15600s can fit in a custom seven-foot equipment rack.
ESD jack You can remove the front door of the ONS 15600 to provide unrestricted access to the front of the shelf. A label is pasted in a box in the center of the swing-down door that covers the fiber routers (Figure 1-3).
Laser Warning Label 1.4 Rear Covers The ONS 15600 has an optional plastic rear cover that is held in place with six 6-32 x 3/8 inch Phillips screws. This plastic cover provides additional protection for the cables and connectors on the backplane (Figure 1-5).
Metric connectors with 752 pins and is held in place with one large captive bolt and multiple screws. Figure 1-7 shows the location of the CAP on the back of the shelf. Only T1 (100 ohm) building integrated timing supply (BITS) is supported in Software R6.0. Note Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual, R6.0...
Chapter 1 Shelf and Backplane Hardware 1.6 Customer Access Panel Figure 1-7 Rear of the ONS 15600, Including the CAP The ONS 15600 CAP provides the following: BITS T1 (100 ohm) interfaces via wire-wrap pins. • Two Ethernet interfaces via RJ-45 connectors with internal transformer isolation.
If the CAP fails, the node raises an EQPT alarm. You can replace the CAP on an in-service system without affecting traffic. To replace a CAP, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide. Always replace the CAP during a maintenance window.
The ONS 15600 has a backplane pin field located at the bottom rear of the shelf that is part of the CAP. The CAP provides 0.045 square inch (0.290 square centimeter) wire-wrap pins for enabling alarm inputs and outputs and timing input and output.
The PDU Alarm connection controls the visual alarm indicators on the front of the PDU. You can also activate the alarm cutoff (ACO) function by pressing the ACO button on the TSC card faceplate. The ACO function extinguishes all audible alarm indications, but the alarm is still raised in Cisco Transport Controller (CTC).
1.7.3 LAN Installation Use a straight-through LAN cable with the LAN port on the ONS 15600 CAP to connect the ONS 15600 to a hub, switch, or a LAN modem for remote access to the node. Use a crossover cable when connecting the CAP to a workstation.
The PDU consists of a mounting chassis, A- and B-side power modules, an alarm module, and a rear I/O unit. The ONS 15600 PDU has LEDs that alert you to Critical, Major, Minor, and remote alarms on the node. Each module can support three 100A input power feeds, 48 VDC power load (based on a fully loaded ONS 15600 shelf).
The battery return connection is treated as DC-I, as defined in Telcordia GR-1089-CORE, issue 3 • The ONS 15600 shelf has redundant –48 VDC power terminals on its backplane. The terminals are labeled A FEEDS and B FEEDS and are located at the top left and right sides of the shelf behind clear plastic covers.
Figure 1-12 Fan-Tray Assembly 1.10.1 Air Filter The ONS 15600 contains a reusable air filter that is made of an open-cell polyurethane foam that is flame retardant and fungi resistant. The air filter is located above the three fan trays (Figure 1-13).
CTC software will shut down one of the single shelf cross-connect (SSXC) cards. The ONS 15600 requires at least one working fan in each of the three fan trays. When a single fan in a Caution tray fails, Cisco recommends replacing the tray with a fully working tray as soon as possible.
1.11.1 Card Slot Requirements The ONS 15600 shelf has 14 card slots numbered sequentially from left to right. Slots 1 to 4 and 11 to 14 are reserved for optical (OC-N) traffic cards. These slots can host any of the ONS 15600 optical cards.

In this chapter, “cross-connect” and “circuit” have the following meanings: cross-connect refers to the Note connections that occur within a single ONS 15600 to allow a circuit to enter and exit an ONS 15600. Circuit refers to the series of connections from a traffic source (where traffic enters the ONS 15600 network) to the destination (where traffic exits an ONS 15600 network).
• Provide only protected sources and destinations for circuits. • Define a secondary circuit source or destination that allows you to interoperate an ONS 15600 path • protection with third-party equipment path protection configurations. Set path protection circuits as revertive or nonrevertive.
You cannot set up VT circuits to terminate on an ONS 15600 node. However, you can create both STS Note and VT circuits that have an ONS 15454 or ONS 15327 source and destination with an ONS 15600 as a pass-through node.

For bidirectional circuits, CTC creates a path protection connection at the source node that allows traffic to be selected from one of the two sources on the ONS 15600 network. If you check the Fully Path Protected option during circuit creation, traffic is protected within the ONS 15600 network. At the destination, another path protection connection is created to bridge traffic from the ONS 15600 network to the two destinations.

• 8.1 Overview The ONS 15600 usually operates as a hub node in networks that include ONS 15454s, ONS 15327s, and ONS 15310-CLs. Single nodes are installed at geographic locations where several ONS SONET topologies converge. A single ONS 15600 node might be a part of several ONS SONET rings/networks.
Protect Path 8.3 Bidirectional Line Switched Rings The ONS 15600 can support up to 32 bidirectional line switched rings (BLSRs). Eight four-fiber BLSR rings can be supported if all ports are OC-192. Because the working and protect bandwidths must be equal, you can create only OC-48 or OC-192 BLSRs.
Page 135
The traffic travels in a reverse direction on the protect bandwidth until it reaches its destination node. At that point, traffic is switched back to the working bandwidth. Figure 8-3 shows a traffic pattern sample on a four-node, two-fiber BLSR. Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual, R6.0...

For ONS 15600 networking setup instructions, refer to the “Turn Up Node” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15600 Procedure Guide.
Management Network Connectivity 9.2 ONS 15600 IP Addressing Scenarios • IP subnetting can create ONS 15600 node groups, which allow you to provision nodes in a network that are not connected using the data communications channel (DCC). • Different IP functions and protocols allow you to achieve specific network goals. For example, Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) enables one LAN-connected ONS 15600 to serve as a gateway for ONS 15600s that are not connected to the LAN.
On the CTC computer, the default gateway is set to router interface A. If the LAN uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), the default gateway and IP address are assigned automatically. In the Figure 9-2 example, a DHCP server is not available. Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual, R6.0...
Static Routes = N/A Static Routes = N/A 9.2.3 Scenario 3: Using Proxy ARP to Enable an ONS 15600 Gateway Scenario 3 is similar to Scenario 1, but only one ONS 15600 (Node 1) connects to the LAN (Figure 9-3).
DCC-connected ONS 15600s must reside on the same subnet. When a LAN device sends an ARP request to an ONS 15600 that is not connected to the LAN, the gateway ONS 15600 returns its MAC address to the LAN device. The LAN device then sends the datagram for the remote ONS 15600 to the MAC address of the proxy ONS 15600.
OSPF.) ONS 15600s residing on subnet 192.168.2.0 are connected through Node 1 to the router through interface B. To connect to CTC computers on LAN A, you would create a static route on Node 1. Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual, R6.0...
In this figure, the IP address of router interface B is entered as the next hop (the next router that a packet traverses to reach its destination), and the cost (number of hops from source to destination) is 2. Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual, R6.0...
ONS 15600s use the OSPF protocol in internal ONS 15600 networks for node discovery, circuit routing, and node management. You can enable OSPF on the ONS 15600s so that the ONS 15600 topology is sent to OSPF routers on a LAN. Advertising the ONS 15600 network topology to LAN routers means...

ONS 15600 subnetworks. Figure 9-7 shows the same network enabled for OSPF. When you are logged into a ONS 15600 node, CTC does not allow both a DCC interface and a LAN interface in the same nonzero OSPF area. Figure 9-7...
Page 156
DCC or LAN interfaces are in the same OSPF area, while a node is in multiple OSPF areas if it has DCC or LAN interfaces in two or more OSPF areas. If the ONS 15600 has interfaces (DCC or LAN) in multiple OSPF areas, at least one ONS 15600 interface (DCC or LAN) must be in the backbone area 0.
(NOC) personnel can both access the same ONS 15600s while preventing the field technicians from accessing the NOC LAN. To do this, one ONS 15600 is provisioned as a GNE and the other ONS 15600s are provisioned as ENEs. The GNE ONS 15600 tunnels connections between CTC computers and ENE ONS 15600s, providing management capability while preventing access for purposes other than ONS 15600 management.
ONS 15600 proxy server implementation. A ONS 15600 GNE is connected to a central office LAN and to ONS 15600 ENEs. The central office LAN is connected to a NOC LAN, which has CTC computers. The NOC CTC computer and craft technicians must both be able to access the ONS 15600 ENEs.

Protocols not listed in the Accepted column If an ONS 15600 or CTC computer resides behind a firewall that uses port filtering, you must enable an Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP) port on the ONS 15600 and/or CTC computer, depending on whether one or both devices reside behind a firewall.
IIOP port. For example, if the CTC computer firewall uses IIOP port 4000, and the ONS 15600 firewall uses IIOP port 5000, 4000 is the IIOP port you provision for the CTC computer and 5000 is the IIOP port you provision for the ONS 15600.

9.7.9 OSI/IP Networking Scenarios The ONS 15600 GNE routes TL1 traffic to the correct NE by resolving the TL1 TID to either an IP or NSAP address. For TL1 traffic to other vendor NEs (OSI-only nodes), the TID is resolved to an NSAP address.
NE The IP OSS manages the ONS 15600 and other vendor NEs using TL1 and FTP. The other vendor GNE performs mediation for TL1 and FTP, so the DCCs to the ONS 15600 and other vendor NEs are OSI-only.
ONS 15600 OSPF area. An alternate approach is to create a single IP-over-CLNS tunnel from CTC/CTM to an ONS 15600 NE, and then to configure a tunnel from that NE to an NE in each isolated OSPF area. This approach requires additional static routes.
9-34) is similar to OSI/IP Scenario 3 except that the OSI GNE only has an IP connection to the DCN. It does not have an OSI DCN connection to carry CTC/CTM IP traffic through an IP-over-OSI tunnel. A separate DCN to ONS 15600 NE connection is created to provide CTC/CTM access.
(Figure 9-35) shows how the ONS 15600 supports OSI DCNs. The OSI DCN has no impact on the ONS 15600 because all IP traffic (CTC/CTM, FTP, and TL1) is tunneled through the OSI DCN. Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual, R6.0...
Other vendor NE The IP OSS manages ONS 15600 and other vendor NEs using TL1 and FTP. OSS IP traffic is tunneled through the DCN to the ONS 15600 GNE. CTC/CTM IP traffic is tunneled through the DCN to the ONS 15600 GNE.
IP and OSI/PPP/DCC ONS NE 3 ONS 15600 NEs are managed by CTC/CTM only (TL1/FTP is not used). The OSI OSS manages other vendor NEs only. CTC/CTM communicates with the ONS 15600 over a IP-over-CLNS tunnel between the ONS 15600 NE and external router.
ONS 15600. Management traffic between the OSS and other vendor NEs is routed by the ONS 15600 GNE and NEs. This is possible because all ONS 15600 NEs run dual stacks (OSI and IP).
CTC/CTM communicates with the ONS 15600 over an IP-over-CLNS tunnel between the ONS 15600 NE and the external router. A static route is needed on the GNE. The ONS 15600 GNE routes OSI traffic to other vendor NEs. No IP-over-CLNS tunnel is needed.

The Any Service Any Port (ASAP) Carrier Card plugs into any of the eight available I/O slots for the ONS 15600. Each ASAP carrier card has four slots available for up to and including four ASAP Pluggable Input/output Modules (PIMs). There are four slots available on the PIM for Pluggable Port Modules (PPM), which are Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optics.
Each SFP is also hot-pluggable. Layer 1 Ethernet transport is implemented for Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces. GE traffic is encapsulated by generic framing procedure (GFP), ITU X.86, or Cisco high-level data link control/LAN extension (HDLC/LEX) and mapped into a SONET payload.
Page 205
Matrix Line Card The ONS 15600 provides transport functionality of all frames arriving on the Ethernet interfaces. Frames arriving on each Ethernet interface are mapped onto their own SONET path. In the reverse direction, frames arriving on a SONET path are mapped to one and only one Ethernet interface. Frames arriving on different Ethernet interfaces are not mapped onto the same SONET path.
The Ethernet ports can be provisioned for encapsulation in frame-mapped GFP (GFP-F) as per ITU G.7041, Cisco HDLC/LEX as per RFC 1841, or Ethernet over Link Access Protocol over SDH (LAPS) as per ITU X.86. LEX with CRC-32 is the default encapsulation, as it is supported by most Cisco data cards.
In the ONS 15600, oversubscription of interfaces is supported. This occurs when the GE interface is mapped to any of the STS-1, STS-3, STS-6, STS-9, and STS-12 (c) rates. No guarantees on frame loss or delay due to oversubscription is provided by the system.
The Ethernet interfaces are capable of using symmetric or asymmetric flow control to meter packet receptions according to the requirements specified in IEEE 802.3x. This is done to avoid dropping packets internally due to output or input queue congestion. When an Ethernet interface uses symmetric Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual, R6.0 10-6...

The alarm profiles feature allows you to change default alarm severities by creating unique alarm profiles for individual ONS 15600 ports, cards, or nodes. A created alarm profile can be applied to any node on the network. Alarm profiles can be saved to a file and imported elsewhere in the network, but the profile must be stored locally on a node before it can be applied to the node, cards, or ports.
Displays all entities (nodes and alarm subjects) present in the network and which profiles contain the alarm (can be printed). 11.3.3 Alarm Profile Editing Table 11-9 describes the five profile-editing options available when you right-click an alarm item in the profile column (such as Default). Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual, R6.0 11-10...
At the node level, you can apply profile changes on a card-by-card basis or set a profile for the entire node. At the card-level view, you can apply profile changes on a port-by-port basis for all ports on that card. Figure 11-6 shows an OC48 card view of an alarm profile.

ID is activated. 11.5 Alarm Suppression The ONS 15600 has suppression options that prevent node, slot, chassis, or port alarms from appearing in the Alarms window. Suppression changes the entity alarm to Not Reported, so suppressed alarms are shown in the Conditions window.
You provision external alarms and controls in the node view Maintenance > Alarm Extenders window. Up to 16 external alarm inputs and 16 external controls are available. The external input/output contacts are located on the CAP attached to the ONS 15600 backplane. 11.6.1 External Alarm Input You can provision each alarm input separately.
ONS 15600 Virtual Wires window with a DCC connection to an ONS 15454 node. The ONS 15600 Virtual Wires window shows 10 virtual wire columns, but 16 are available. The first 12 are available for other ONS 15600s. Only the last four are available for the ONS 15454, because it can only support four virtual wires.
