Release Notes for Cisco ONS 15600 Release 8.0
October 15, 2007
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path prot

Changes to the Release Notes Changes to the Release Notes This section documents supplemental changes that have been added to the Release Notes for Cisco ONS 15600 Release 8.0 since the production of the Cisco ONS 15600 System Software CD for Release 8.0. Following change has been made to the release notes for Release 8.0. OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band Card is not supported in this release. Caveats Review the notes listed below before deploying the ONS 15600. Caveats with tracking numbers are

Caveats Note When the Cisco ONS 15600 is used in the Data Communications Network (DCN) as a Gateway Network Element (GNE), Cisco Systems, Inc. recommends that: a. Each Cisco ONS 15600 GNE should cater to no more than 64 Data Communications Channels (DCC)-connected External Network Elements (ENE). b. No ENE should be more than 8 DCC hops away from its GNE. c. With large networks, the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) Java Virtual Machine (JVM) Heap Size should be set to 512 MB (default is 128 MB

Caveats CSCdz07098 If OSPF on LAN is enabled with an area ID that is the same as the area ID of any of the DCC Links, CTC will not be able to discover any of the DCC Connected Nodes. To avoid this issue, set the OSPF on LAN area ID to an area other than any of those already occupied by a DCC link. This is as designed. CSCdy25142 Equipment alarms are always reported based on the activity of the particular card, without taking card redundancy into consideration. Thus, an equipment alarm such as

Caveats Optical IO Cards CSCse08282 When the Active XC is removed, the traffic from the line card might be lost. If the line card is an ASAP card, the lack of traffic will cause a low transition signal density to enter the ASAP line card ASIC on the backplane egress interface. The downstream FPGA on the ASAP 1PIO daughter card will begin detecting B1 errors. These B1 errors will cause unexpected path protection switches. These errors will also be reported as equipment failures. To avoid this i

Caveats Interoperability CSCdx61916 and CSCeg20536 If, using CTC, you attempt to create a protected VT1.5 circuit that originates on one ONS 15454 that is connected to the ONS 15600 via path protection to another ONS 15454 that is connected to the ONS 15600 via 1+1 or BLSR, the circuit creation request will be denied because of mixed protection domains. CTC is currently incapable of routing VT circuits across the ONS 15600 when mixed protection schemes are involved. VT traffic can be routed ac

Caveats CSCdy54737 The following PM parameters can not be retrieved through SNMP. • Line: – FC-L • Path: – FC-P – PPJC-Pdet – NPJC-Pdet – PPJC-Pgen – NPJC-Pgen • Protection groups: – PSC – PSD • Far End counts for line and path • 1-Day PM counts To retrieve these counts, use CTC. SNMP support for these parameters may be considered for a future release. Bridge and Roll CSCdy14265 The manual bridge and roll feature allows you to perform the END command once the roll operation transitions from a

Resolved Caveats for Release 8.0 TL1 CSCsd59138 The wrong SSMs for additional references are displayed in the TL1 RTRV-SYNCN command response for a 1+1 working line when that line is used as the primary reference for a node. References including SYNC-NE 2 and 3, and SYNC-BITS are incorrectly reported. To avoid confusion, use CTC to view the correct SSMs. This issue will be resolved in a future release. CSCsb72582 You cannot perform an ENT-EQPT for a valid card type when the current equipment s

Resolved Caveats for Release 8.0 TL1 CSCsd52415 You cannot set the GIGE admin state to IS,AINS using the TL1 ED-GIGE command for the ONS 15600 ASAP card. The TL1 ED-GIGE command denies attempts to change the ADMIN state to IS,AINS this card. CTC, however, can execute the state change. This issue is resolved in Release 8.0. CSCsd95331 The status field incorrectly displays IS-NR when performing a RTRV-EQPT TL1 command where the AID is of type PIM (Pluggable I/O Module) or PPM (Pluggable Port Mod

New Features and Functionality New Features and Functionality This section highlights new features and functionality for Release 8.0. For detailed documentation of each feature, consult the user documentation. New Hardware Features OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band Card The OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band card provides four Telcordia GR-253-CORE compliant, SONET OC-192 ports per card. The ports operate at 9953.28 Mbps over single-mode fiber. The OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band card has four physical c

New Features and Functionality Customer Access Panel The Customer Access Panel (CAP or CAP2) is located in the middle on the rear of the shelf. The CAP and CAP2 provide an alarm pin field, timing, and LAN connections. The CAP or CAP2 plugs into the backplane using 2mm Hard Metric connectors with 752 pins and is held in place with one large captive bolt and multiple screws. The CAP2 has the additional capability of providing provisionable power monitoring. Note The ONS 15600 supports only T1 (1

New Features and Functionality Different cards are tested with a limited subset of Cisco PPMs. Customers are encouraged to use these PPMs, referred to as Qualified Cisco PPMs (for the particular card). Since each card supports different services (rates and formats), a PPM qualified for one card is not necessarily qualified for another. For example, a PPM qualified to work on a DWDM card may not be qualified to work on a SONET card. Cisco PPMs that are not recommended for use with a particular

New Features and Functionality CTC Launcher 8.0 The CTC Launcher application is an executable file, StartCTC.exe, that is provided on Software Release 8.0 CDs for Cisco ONS products. You can use CTC Launcher to log into multiple ONS nodes that are running CTC Software Release 3.3 or higher, without using a web browser. CTC Launcher provides two connection options. The first option is used to connect to ONS network elements (NEs) that have an IP connection to the CTC computer. The second option
