---

Note This task assumes you are setting up path trace on a bidirectional circuit and setting up transmit strings at the circuit source and destination.

---

---

Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.

Step 2 Click the Circuits tab.

Step 3 For the VC circuit you want to monitor, verify that the source and destination ports are on a card that can transmit and receive the path trace string. Table 18-1 provides a list of cards that support path trace.

Table 18-1 ONS 15600 SDH Cards for Path Trace

J1 Function	Cards
Transmit and Receive	ASAP (Gigabit Ethernet ports)
Receive Only	ASAP (Optical ports) OC48/STM16 LR/LH 16 Port 1550 OC48/STM16 SR/SH 16 Port 1310 OC192/STM64 LR/LH 4 Port 1550 OC192/STM64 SR/SH 4 Port 1310 OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band

Step 4 Choose the VC circuit you want to trace, then click Edit.

Step 5 In the Edit Circuit window, click the Show Detailed Map check box at the bottom of the window. A detailed map of the source and destination ports appears.

Step 6 Provision the circuit source transmit string:

a. On the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit source port (the square on the left or right of the source node icon) and choose Edit J1 Path Trace (port) from the shortcut menu. Figure 18-1 shows an example.

Figure 18-1 Selecting the Edit Path Trace Option

b. In the New Expected String field, enter the circuit source transmit string. Enter a string that makes the source port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Expected String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.

c. Click Apply, then click Close.

Step 7 Provision the circuit destination transmit string:

a. On the detailed circuit map, right-click the circuit destination port and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu (Figure 18-1).

b. In the New Expected String field, enter the string that you want the circuit destination to transmit. Enter a string that makes the destination port easy to identify, such as the node IP address, node name, circuit name, or another string. If the New Expected String field is left blank, the J1 transmits a string of null characters.

c. Click Apply.

Step 8 Provision the circuit destination expected string:

a. On the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:

•Auto—The first string received from the source port is automatically provisioned as the current expected string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.

•Manual—The string entered in the Current Expected String field is the baseline. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.

b. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit destination should receive from the circuit source in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto, skip this step.

c. Click the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the alarm indication signal (AIS) and remote defect indication (RDI) when the VC Path Trace Identifier Mismatch Path (TIM-P) alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and conditions.

d. (Check box visibility depends on card selection.) Click the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check box if you want to suppress the AIS when a C2 mismatch occurs.

e. Click Apply, then click Close.

---

Note It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the circuit destination expected string; the path trace process automatically determines the format.

---

Step 9 Provision the circuit source expected string:

a. In the Edit Circuit window (with Show Detailed Map chosen; see Figure 18-1), right-click the circuit source port and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.

b. In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:

•Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other path trace end as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received.

•Manual—Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.

c. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the circuit source should receive from the circuit destination in the New Expected String field. If you set Path Trace Mode to Auto, skip this step.

d. Click the Disable AIS and RDI if TIM-P is detected check box if you want to suppress the AIS and RDI when the TIM-P alarm appears. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Troubleshooting Guide for descriptions of alarms and conditions.

e. (Check box visibility depends on card selection.) Click the Disable AIS on C2 Mis-Match check box if you want to suppress the AIS when a C2 mismatch occurs.

f. Click Apply.

---

Note It is not necessary to set the format (16 or 64 bytes) for the circuit source expected string; the path trace process automatically determines the format.

---

Step 10 After you set up the path trace, the received string appears in the Received field on the path trace setup window. The following options are available:

•Click Hex Mode to display path trace in hexadecimal format. The button name changes to ASCII Mode. Click it to return the path trace to ASCII format.

•Click the Reset button to reread values from the port.

•Click Default to return to the path trace default settings (Path Trace Mode is set to Off and the New Transmit and New Expected Strings are null).

---

Caution Clicking Default will generate alarms if the port on the other end is provisioned with a different string.

---

The expect and receive strings are updated every few seconds if the Path Trace Mode field is set to Auto or Manual.

Step 11 Click Close.

The detailed circuit window indicates path trace with an M (manual path trace) or an A (automatic path trace) at the circuit source and destination ports.

Step 12 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-F306 Provision Path Trace on STM-N Ports

Purpose	This task monitors a path trace on STM-N ports within the circuit path.
Tools/Equipment	The STM-N ports you want to monitor must be on STM-N cards capable of receiving path trace. See Table 18-1.
Prerequisite Procedures	F305 Provision Path Trace on Circuit Source and Destination Ports F181 Log into CTC
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Provisioning or higher

---

Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Other Node. In the Select Node dialog box, choose the node where path trace was provisioned on the circuit source and destination ports.

Step 2 Click Circuits.

Step 3 Choose the VC circuit that has path trace provisioned on the source and destination ports, then click Edit.

Step 4 In the Edit Circuit window, click the Show Detailed Map check box at the bottom of the window. A detailed circuit graphic showing source and destination ports appears.

Step 5 In the detailed circuit map right-click the circuit STM-N port (the square on the left or right of the source node icon) and choose Edit Path Trace from the shortcut menu.

---

Note The STM-N port must be on a receive-only card listed in Table 18-1. If not, the Edit Path Trace menu item will not appear.

---

Step 6 In the Circuit Path Trace window, enable the path trace expected string by choosing Auto or Manual from the Path Trace Mode drop-down list:

•Auto—Uses the first string received from the port at the other path trace end as the current expected string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the baseline is received. For STM-N ports, Auto is recommended because Manual mode requires you to trace the circuit on the Edit Circuit window to determine whether the port is the source or destination path.

•Manual—Uses the Current Expected String field as the baseline string. An alarm is raised when a string that differs from the Current Expected String is received.

Step 7 If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Manual, enter the string that the STM-N port should receive in the New Expected String field. To do this, trace the circuit path on the detailed circuit window to determine whether the port is in the circuit source or destination path, then set the New Expected String to the string transmitted by the circuit source or destination. If you set the Path Trace Mode field to Auto, skip this step.

Step 8 Click Apply, then click Close.

Step 9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite Procedures	F181 Log into CTC
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Provisioning or higher

---

Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.

Step 2 Click the Circuits tab.

Step 3 Click the circuit with the state that you want to change.

Step 4 From the Tools menu, choose Circuits > Set Circuit State.

Step 5 In the Set Circuit State dialog box, choose the administrative state from the Target Circuit Admin State drop-down list:

•Unlocked—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the Unlocked-enabled service state.

•Locked,disabled—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the Locked-enabled,disabled service state. Traffic is not passed on the circuit.

•Unlocked,automaticInService—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService service state and suppresses alarms and conditions. When the connections receive a valid signal, the service state automatically changes to Unlocked-enabled.

•Locked,maintenance—Puts the circuit cross-connects in the Locked-enabled,maintenance service state. The maintenance state does not interrupt traffic flow; it suppresses alarms and conditions and allows loopbacks to be performed on the circuit. Use Locked,maintenance for circuit testing or to suppress circuit alarms temporarily. Change the administrative state to Unlocked; Unlocked,automaticInService; or Locked,disabled when testing is complete.

---

Note Alternatively, you can choose the circuit on the Circuits tab, click the Edit button, then click the State tab on the Edit Circuits window.

---

For additional information about circuit service states, refer to the "Circuits and Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.

Step 6 If you want to apply the state to the circuit source and destination ports, check the Apply to Drop Ports check box.

---

Note CTC will not allow you to change a drop port service state from Unlocked-enabled to Locked-enabled,disabled. You must first change a port to the Locked-enabled,maintenance service state before putting it in the Locked-enabled,disabled service state.

---

Step 7 Click Apply.

Step 8 If the Apply to Ports Results dialog box appears, view the results and click OK.

CTC will not change the service state of the circuit source and destination port in certain circumstances. For example, if a port is in loopback (Locked-enabled,loopback & maintenance), CTC will not change the port to Unlocked-enabled. In another example, if the circuit size is smaller than the port, CTC will not change the port service state from Unlocked-enabled to Locked-enabled,disabled. If CTC cannot change the port service state, you must change the port service state manually. For more information, see the "DLP-F254 Change the Service State for a Port" task.

Step 9 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-F314 Provision MS-DCC Terminations

Purpose	This task creates the MS-DCC terminations required for alarms, administration, data, signal control information, and messages. In this task, you can also set up the node so that it has direct IP access to a far-end non-ONS node over the DCC network.
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite Procedures	F181 Log into CTC
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Provisioning or higher

---

Note The RS-DCCs and MS-DCCs should not be provisioned between SONET (ANSI) and SDH (ETSI) nodes using CTC or TL1 because they cannot operate between SONET and SDH nodes. These communication channels should be provisioned on similar nodes, such as SONET-to-SONET or SDH-to-SDH. To establish communication channels between SONET and SDH nodes, create a DCC tunnel. See the "DLP-F244 Create a DCC Tunnel" task to create a DCC tunnel.

---

---

Note When MS-DCC is provisioned, an RS-DCC termination is allowed on the same port, but is not recommended. RS-DCC and MS-DCC are only needed on the same port during a software upgrade if the software version does not support MS-DCC. Changing configuration of a port having MS-DCC termination to RS-DCC termination is allowed. During this procedure both MS-DCC and RS-DCC terminations can be present on the same port. Once the RS-DCC termination is configured see "DLP-F253 Provision RS-DCC Terminations" task delete the MS-DCC terminations as specified in"DLP-F322 Delete an MS-DCC Termination" task, and enable the OSPF on RS-DCC termination if not enabled see "DLP-F319 Change an RS-DCC Termination" task.

---

---

Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Comm Channels > MS-DCC tabs.

Step 2 Click Create.

Step 3 In the Create MS-DCC Terminations dialog box, click the ports where you want to create the MS-DCC termination. To select more than one port, press the Shift key or the Ctrl key.

---

Note MS-DCC refers to the multiplex section DCC, which is used for ONS 15600 SDH DCC terminations. The SDH MS-DCCs and the RS-DCC (when not used as a DCC termination by the ONS 15600 SDH) can be provisioned as DCC tunnels. See the "DLP-F244 Create a DCC Tunnel" task.

---

Step 4 In the Port Admin State area, click Set to unlocked to put the port in service.

Step 5 Verify that the Disable OSPF on DCC Link check box is unchecked.

Step 6 If the RS-DCC termination is to include a non-ONS node, check the Far End is Foreign check box. This automatically sets the far-end node IP address to 0.0.0.0, which means that any address can be specified by the far end. To change the default to a specific the IP address, see the "DLP-F320 Change an MS-DCC Termination" task.

Step 7 In the Layer 3 area, perform one of the following:

•Check the IP box only—If the MS-DCC is between the ONS 15600 SDH and another ONS node and only ONS nodes reside on the network. The MS-DCC will use point-to-point protocol (PPP).

•Check the IP and OSI boxes—If the MS-DCC is between the ONS 15600 SDH and another ONS node and third party NEs that use the OSI protocol stack are on the same network. The MS-DCC will use PPP.

---

Note Checking only the OSI box (LAP-D) is not available for MS-DCCs.

---

Step 8 If you checked OSI, complete the following steps. If you checked IP only, continue with Step 9.

a. Click Next.

b. Provision the following fields:

–Router—Sets the OSI router.

–ESH—Sets the End System Hello propagation frequency. End system NEs transmit ESHs to inform other ESs and ISs about the NSAPs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.

–ISH—Sets the Intermediate System Hello PDU propagation frequency. Intermediate system NEs send ISHs to other ESs and ISs to inform them about the IS NETs it serves. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 10 to 1000 seconds.

–IIH—Sets the Intermediate System to Intermediate System Hello PDU propagation frequency. The IS-IS Hello PDUs establish and maintain adjacencies between ISs. The default is 3 seconds. The range is 1 to 600 seconds.

–IS-IS Cost—Sets the cost for sending packets on the LAN subnet. The IS-IS protocol uses the cost to calculate the shortest routing path. The default metric cost for LAN subnets is 20. It normally should not be changed.

Step 9 Click Finish.

---

Note MS-DCC Termination Failure (EOC-L) and Loss of Signal (LOS) alarms appear until you create all network DCC terminations and put the DCC termination STM-N ports in service.

•Protection—The protection type; see Table 18-2.

Table 18-2 Circuit Protection Types 

Protection Type	Description
1+1	The circuit is protected by a 1+1 protection group.
2F MS-SPRing	The circuit is protected by a 2-fiber MS-SPRing.
2F-PCA	The circuit is routed on a protection channel access (PCA) path on a two-fiber MS-SPRing. PCA circuits are unprotected.
DRI	The circuit is protected by dual-ring interconnect (DRI).
N/A	A circuit with connections on the same node is not protected.
PCA	The circuit is routed on a PCA path on both two-fiber and four-fiber MS-SPRings. PCA circuits are unprotected.
Protected	The circuit is protected by diverse SDH topologies, for example an MS-SPRing and an SNCP, or an SNCP and 1+1.
Unknown	A circuit has a source and destination on different nodes and communication is down between the nodes. This protection type appears if not all circuit components are known.
Unprot (black)	A circuit with a source and destination on different nodes is not protected.
Unprot (red)	A circuit created as a fully protected circuit is no longer protected due to a system change, such as removal of an MS-SPRing or 1+1 protection group.
SNCP	The circuit is protected by an SNCP.

•Status—The circuit status. Table 18-3 lists the circuit statuses that can appear.

Table 18-3 ONS 15600 SDH Circuit Status 

Status	Definition/Activity
CREATING	CTC is creating a circuit.
DISCOVERED	CTC created a circuit. All components are in place and a complete path exists from circuit source to destination.
DELETING	CTC is deleting a circuit.
PARTIAL	A CTC-created circuit is missing a connection or circuit span (network link), a complete path from source to destination(s) does not exist, or a MAC address change occurred on one of the circuit nodes and the circuit is in need of repair (in the ONS 15454, the MAC address resides on the alarm interface panel (AIP); in the ONS 15600 SDH, the MAC address resides on the backplane EEPROM). In CTC, circuits are represented using cross-connects and network spans. If a network span is missing from a circuit, the circuit status is PARTIAL. However, a PARTIAL status does not necessarily mean a circuit traffic failure has occurred, because traffic might flow on a protect path. Network spans are in one of two states: up or down. On CTC circuit and network maps, up spans appear as green lines, and down spans appear as gray lines. If a failure occurs on a network span during a CTC session, the span remains on the network map but its color changes to gray to indicate that the span is down. If you restart your CTC session while the failure is active, the new CTC session cannot discover the span and its span line does not appear on the network map. Subsequently, circuits routed on a network span that goes down appear as DISCOVERED during the current CTC session, but appear as PARTIAL to users who log in after the span failure.
DISCOVERED_TL1	A TL1-created circuit or a TL1-like, CTC-created circuit is complete. A complete path from source to destination(s) exists.
PARTIAL_TL1	A TL1-created circuit or a TL1-like, CTC-created circuit is missing a cross-connect or circuit span (network link), and a complete path from source to destination(s) does not exist.
CONVERSION_PENDING	An existing circuit in a topology upgrade is set to this status. The circuit returns to the DISCOVERED status when the topology upgrade is complete. For more information about topology upgrades, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.
PENDING_MERGE	Any new circuits created to represent an alternate path in a topology upgrade are set to this status to indicate that it is a temporary circuit. These circuits can be deleted if a topology upgrade fails. For more information about topology upgrades, refer to the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.
DROP_PENDING	A circuit is set to this status when a new circuit drop is being added.

•Source—The circuit source in the format: node/slot/port/STS. If an ASAP PPM port is the circuit source, the port format is PIM-PPM-port, where PIM and PPM values are 1 through 4 (for example, p1-1-1). PPMs have only one port.

•Destination—The circuit destination in the format: node/slot/port/STS. If an ASAP PPM port is the circuit destination, the port format is PIM-PPM-port, where PIM and PPM values are 1 through 4 (for example, p1-1-1). PPMs have only one port.

•# of VLANS—(Future use) The number of VLANs used by an Ethernet circuit.

•# of Spans—The number of internode links that constitute the circuit. Right-clicking the column shows a shortcut menu from which you can choose Span Details to show or hide circuit span detail.

•State—The circuit service state, which is an aggregate of its cross-connects. The service states are Unlocked, Locked, or Locked-partial. For more information about circuit service states, refer to the "Administrative and Service States" appendix of the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.

–Unlocked—All cross-connects are in service and operational.

–Locked—All cross-connects are Locked-enabled,maintenance or Locked-enabled,disabled.

–Locked-partial—At least one cross-connect is Unlocked-enabled and others are in the Locked-enabled,maintenance and/or Locked-enabled,disabled service states.

DLP-F361 Provision OSI Routing Mode

Purpose	This task provisions the Open System Interconnection (OSI) routing mode. Complete this task when the ONS 15600 SDH is connected to networks with third party network elements (NEs) that use the OSI protocol stack for data communications network (DCN) communication.
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite Procedures	F131 Verify Card Installation
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite
Security Level	Provisioning or higher

---

Caution Do not complete this task until you confirm the role of the node within the network. It will be either an Intermediated System (IS) Level 1 or an IS Level 1/Level 2. This decision must be carefully considered. For additional information about OSI provisioning, refer to the "Management Network Connectivity" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Reference Manual.

---

---

Caution Link State Protocol (LSP) buffers must be the same at all NEs within the network, or loss of visibility might occur. Do not modify the LSP buffers unless you confirm that all NEs within the OSI have the same buffer size.

---

---

Caution LSP buffer sizes cannot be greater than the Link Access Protocol on the D Channel (LAP-D) maximum transmission unit (MTU) size within the OSI area.

---

---

Note For ONS 15600 SDHs, twelve virtual routers can be provisioned. The node primary Network Service Access Point (NSAP) address is also the Router 1 primary manual area address. To edit the primary NSAP, you must edit the Router 1 primary manual area address. After you enable Router 1 on the Routers subtab, the Change Primary Area Address button is available to edit the address.

---

---

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task at the node where you want to provision the OSI routing mode. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 In node view, click the Provisioning > OSI tabs.

Step 3 Choose a routing mode:

•Intermediate System Level 1—The ONS 15600 SDH performs OSI IS functions. It communicates with IS and End System (ES) nodes that reside within its OSI area. It depends upon an IS L1/L2 node to communicate with IS and ES nodes that reside outside its OSI area.

•Intermediate System Level 1/Level 2—The ONS 15600 SDH performs IS functions. It communicates with IS and ES nodes that reside within its OSI area. It also communicates with IS L1/L2 nodes that reside in other OSI areas. Before choosing this option, verify the following:

–The node is connected to another IS Level 1/Level 2 node that resides in a different OSI area.

–The node is connected to all nodes within its area that are provisioned as IS L1/L2.

Step 4 If needed, change the LSP data buffers:

•L1 LSP Buffer Size—Adjusts the Level 1 link state PDU buffer size. The default is 512. It should not be changed.

•L2 LSP Buffer Size—Adjusts the Level 2 link state PDU buffer size. The default is 512. It should not be changed.

Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-F362 Provision or Modify TARP Operating Parameters

Purpose	This task provisions or modifies the Target Identifier Address Resolution Protocol (TARP) operating parameters including TARP PDU propagation, timers, and loop detection buffer (LDB).
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite procedures	F181 Log into CTC
Required/As needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Superuser only

---

Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > OSI > TARP > Config tabs.

Step 2 Provision the following parameters, as needed:

•TARP PDUs L1 Propagation—If checked (default), TARP Type 1 PDUs that are received by the node and are not excluded by the LDB are propagated to other NEs within the Level 1 OSI area. (Type 1 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a target identifier [TID] within a Level 1 routing area.) The propagation does not occur if the NE is the target of the Type 1 PDU, and PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received.

---

Note This parameter is not used when the Node Routing Area (Provisioning > OSI > Main Setup tab) is set to End System.

---

•TARP PDUs L2 Propagation—If checked (default), TARP Type 2 PDUs received by the node that are not excluded by the LDB are propagated to other NEs within the Level 2 OSI areas. (Type 2 PDUs request a protocol address that matches a TID within a Level 2 routing area.) The propagation occurs if the NE is not the target of the Type 2 PDU, and PDUs are not propagated to the NE from which the PDU was received.

---

Note This parameter is only used when the Node Routing Area is provisioned to Intermediate System Level 1/Level 2.

---

•TARP PDUs Origination—If checked (default), the node performs all TARP origination functions including:

–TID to NSAP resolution requests (originate TARP Type 1 and Type 2 PDUs)

–NSAP to TID requests (originate Type 5 PDUs)

–TARP address changes (originate Type 4 PDUs)

---

Note TARP Echo and NSAP to TID is not supported.

---

•TARP Data Cache—If checked (default), the node maintains a TARP data cache (TDC). The TDC is a database of TID to NSAP pairs created from TARP Type 3 PDUs received by the node and modified by TARP Type 4 PDUs (TID to NSAP updates or corrections). TARP 3 PDUs are responses to Type 1 and Type 2 PDUs. The TDC can also be populated with static entries entered on the TARP > Static TDC tab.

---

Note This parameter is only used when the TARP PDUs Origination parameter is enabled.

---

•L2 TARP Data Cache—If checked (default), the TIDs and NSAPs of NEs originating Type 2 requests are added to the TDC before the node propagates the requests to other NEs.

---

Note This parameter is designed for Intermediate System Level 1/Level 2 nodes that are connected to other Intermediate System Level 1/Level 2 nodes. Enabling the parameter for Intermediate System Level 1 nodes is not recommended.

---

•LDB—If checked (default), enables the TARP loop detection buffer. The LDB prevents TARP PDUs from being sent more than once on the same subnet.

---

Note The LDB parameter is not used if the Node Routing Mode is provisioned to End System or if the TARP PDUs L1 Propagation parameter is not enabled.

---

•LAN TARP Storm Suppression—If checked (default), enables TARP storm suppression. This function prevents redundant TARP PDUs from being unnecessarily propagated across the LAN network.

•Send Type 4 PDU on Startup—If checked, a TARP Type 4 PDU is originated during the initial ONS 15600 SDH startup. Type 4 PDUs indicate that a TID or NSAP change has occurred at the NE. (The default setting is not enabled.)

•Type 4 PDU Delay—Sets the amount of time that will pass before the Type 4 PDU is generated when Send Type 4 PDU on Startup is enabled. 60 seconds is the default. The range is 0 to 255 seconds.

---

Note The Send Type 4 PDU on Startup and Type 4 PDU Delay parameters are not used if TARP PDUs Origination is not enabled.

---

•LDB Entry—Sets the TARP loop detection buffer timer. The LDB buffer time is assigned to each LDB entry for which the TARP sequence number (tar-seq) is zero. The default is 5 minutes. The range is 1 to 10 minutes.

•LDB Flush—Sets the frequency period for flushing the LDB. The default is 5 minutes. The range is 0 to 1440 minutes.

•T1—Sets the amount of time to wait for a response to a Type 1 PDU. Type 1 PDUs seek a specific NE TID within an OSI Level 1 area. The default is 15 seconds. The range is 0 to 3600 seconds.

•T2—Sets the amount of time to wait for a response to a Type 2 PDU. TARP Type 2 PDUs seek a specific NE TID value within OSI Level 1 and Level 2 areas. The default is 25 seconds. The range is 0 to 3600 seconds.

•T3—Sets the amount of time to wait for an address resolution request. The default is 40 seconds. The range is 0 to 3600 seconds.

•T4—Sets the amount of time to wait for an error recovery. This timer begins after the T2 timer expires without finding the requested NE TID. The default is 20 seconds. The range is 0 to 3600 seconds.

---

Note Timers T1, T2, and T4 are not used if TARP PDUs Origination is not enabled.

---

Step 3 Click Apply.

Step 4 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

---

Caution IP-over-CLNS tunnels require two endpoints. You will create one point on an ONS 15600 SDH. The other end point is generally provisioned on non-ONS equipment including routers and other vendor NEs. Before you begin, verify that you have the capability to create an OSI-over-IP tunnel on the other equipment location.

---

---

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-F181 Log into CTC" task at the node of the OSI routers that you want to provision.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > OSI > Tunnels tabs.

Step 3 Click Create.

Step 4 In the Create IP Over OSI Tunnel dialog box, complete the following fields:

•Tunnel Type—Choose a tunnel type:

–Cisco—Creates the proprietary Cisco IP tunnel. Cisco IP tunnels add the CLNS header to the IP packets.

–GRE—Creates a Generic Routing Encapsulation tunnel. GRE tunnels add the CLNS header and a GRE header to the IP packets.

The Cisco proprietary tunnel is slightly more efficient than the GRE tunnel because it does not add the GRE header to each IP packet. The two tunnel types are not compatible. Most Cisco routers support the Cisco IP tunnel, while only a few support both GRE and Cisco IP tunnels. You generally should create Cisco IP tunnels if you are tunneling between two Cisco routers or between a Cisco router and an ONS node.

---

Required/As needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Provisioning or higher

---

Caution Changing the IP or NSAP addresses or an IP-over-CLNS tunnel can cause loss of NE visibility or NE isolation. Do not change network addresses until you verify the changes with your network administrator.

---

---

Step 1 Click the Provisioning > OSI > Tunnels tabs.

Step 2 Click Edit.

Step 3 In the Edit IP Over OSI Tunnel dialog box, complete the following fields:

•Tunnel Type—Edit the tunnel type:

–Cisco—Creates the proprietary Cisco IP tunnel. Cisco IP tunnels add the CLNS header to the IP packets.

–GRE—Creates a Generic Routing Encapsulation tunnel. GRE tunnels add the CLNS header and a GRE header to the IP packets.

The Cisco proprietary tunnel is slightly more efficient than the GRE tunnel because it does not add the GRE header to each IP packet. The two tunnel types are not compatible. Most Cisco routers support the Cisco IP tunnel, while only a few support both GRE and Cisco IP tunnels. You generally should create Cisco IP tunnels if you are tunneling between two Cisco routers or between a Cisco router and an ONS node.

---

Caution Always verify that the IP-over-CLNS tunnel type you choose is supported by the equipment at the other end of the tunnel.

---

•Node Address—Enter the IP address of the IP-over-CLNS tunnel destination.

•Subnet Mask—Enter the IP address subnet mask of the IP-over-CLNS destination.

•OSPF Cost—Enter the OSPF cost for sending packets across the IP-over-CLNS tunnel. The OSPF cost is used by OSPF routers to calculate the shortest path. The default is 110. Normally, it is not be changed unless you are creating multiple tunnel routes and want to prioritize routing by assigning different metrics.

•NSAP—Enter the destination NE or OSI router NSAP address.

DLP-F380 Configure the Node for RADIUS Authentication

Purpose	This task allows you to configure a node for Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) authentication. RADIUS validates remote users who are attempting to connect to the network.
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite procedures	F181 Log into CTC Before configuring the node for RADIUS authentication, you must first add the node as a network device on the RADIUS server. Refer to the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server for more information about configuring a RADIUS server.
Required/As needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Superuser only

---

Caution Do not configure a node for RADIUS authentication until after you have added that node to the RADIUS server and added the RADIUS server to the list of authenticators. If you do not add the node to a RADIUS server prior to activating RADIUS authentication, no user will be able to access the node. Refer to the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server for more information about adding a node to a RADIUS server.

---

---

Note The following Cisco vendor-specific attribute (VSA) needs to be specified when adding users to the RADIUS server:
shell:priv-lvl=N, where N is:
0 for Retrieve User
1 for Maintenance User
2 for Provisioning User
3 for Super User

---

---

Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Security > RADIUS Server tabs (Figure 18-20).

Figure 18-20 RADIUS Server Tab

Step 2 Click Create to add a RADIUS server to the list of authenticators. The Create RADIUS Server Entry window appears (Figure 18-21).

Figure 18-21 Create RADIUS Server Entry Window

Step 3 Enter the RADIUS server IP address in the node Address field. If the node is an end network element (ENE), enter the IP address of the gateway network element (GNE) in this field.

The GNE passes authentication requests from the ENEs in its network to the RADIUS server, which grants authentication if the GNE is listed as a client on the server.

---

Caution Because the ENE nodes use the GNE to pass authentication requests to the RADIUS server, you must add the ENEs to the RADIUS server individually for authentication. If you do not add the ENE node to a RADIUS server prior to activating RADIUS authentication, no user will be able to access the node. Refer to the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server for more information about adding a node to a RADIUS server.

---

Step 4 Enter the shared secret in the Shared Secret field. A shared secret is a text string that serves as a password between a RADIUS client and RADIUS server.

Step 5 Enter the RADIUS authentication port number in the Authentication Port field. The default port is 1812. If the node is an ENE, set the authentication port to a number within the range of 1860 to 1869.

Step 6 Enter the RADIUS accounting port in the Accounting Port field. The default port is 1813. If the node is an ENE, set the accounting port to a number within the range of 1870 to 1879.

Step 7 Click OK. The RADIUS server is added to the list of RADIUS authenticators.

---

Note You can add up to 10 RADIUS servers to a node's list of authenticators.

---

Step 8 Click Edit to make changes to an existing RADIUS server. You can change the IP address, the shared secret, the authentication port, and the accounting port.

Step 9 Click Delete to delete the selected RADIUS server.

Step 10 Click Move Up or Move Down to reorder the list of RADIUS authenticators. The node requests authentication from the servers sequentially from top to bottom. If one server is unreachable, the node will request authentication from the next RADIUS server on the list.

Step 11 Click the Enable RADIUS Authentication check box to activate remote-server authentication for the node.

Step 12 Click the Enable RADIUS Accounting check box if you want to show RADIUS authentication information in the audit trail.

Step 13 Click the Enable node as Final Authenticator when no RADIUS Server is reachable check box if you want the node to be the final authenticator. This means that if every RADIUS authenticator is unavailable, the node will authenticate the login rather than locking the user out.

Step 14 Click Apply to save all changes or Reset to clear all changes.

Step 15 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-F381 Delete a Server Trail

Purpose	This task deletes a server trail.
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite Procedures	See Chapter 6 "Create Circuits" for server trail creation procedures.
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Provisioning or higher

---

Note Deleting server trails do not impact the circuits provisioned over it as server trail is a logical link. Deleting a server trail is recommended when migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 because the server trails created on a IPv4 network will not work in an IPv6 network. You can recreate server trails after migrating to IPv6 network without deleting the circuits. When you delete a server trail, the circuit state becomes PARTIAL.

---

---

Step 1 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Server Trails tabs.

Step 3 Click the server trail that you want to delete.

Step 4 Click Delete.

Step 5 In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.

---

Note You can use the server trail audit log to recreate a server trail that you may have accidentally deleted. The server trail audit log includes the following parameters:

•Server trail ID

•Peer IP address

•Circuit size

•Protection type

•Number of trails

•Starting VC4/VC3

•SRLG value

You can look at the audit log of the source or destination node and find the entry for the delete call. This log entry has the VC4/VC3 path definitions on the node, peer IP address, and server trail ID. You can then look at the audit log of the peer IP address, locate the delete call for the specific server trail ID, and find the VC4/VC3 path definitions on the node. This would provide you with the required information to recreate the server trail.

---

---

Note It is recommended that you delete one server trail at a time as the deletion of multiple trails together may cause CTC to hang and is a time consuming task.

---

Step 6 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
