Provision End-to-end Service (Cisco Routers with ZR/ZR+ Optics and NCS 2000 Devices)

These diagrams display a network that contains Cisco routers with ZR or ZR+ optics and NCS 2000 devices.

1. Define the inter-layer links.

   ron inter-layer-link ron-8201-1 0/0/0/8
    site "Los Angeles"
    ols-domain network-element ron-ols-1
    ols-domain optical-add-drop 1/2007/1/18,17
    ols-domain optical-controller onc-cw-100
   !
   ron inter-layer-link ron-8201-2 0/0/0/8
    site Phoenix
    ols-domain network-element ron-ols-2
    ols-domain optical-add-drop 1/2007/1/18,17
    ols-domain optical-controller onc-cw-100
   !
   

   Note	The add drop port on ron-ols-1 in R/S/I/P format is 1/2007/1/17,18. Two ports are configured for both RX and TX but a single port can also be given.

   In the function pack, the network-element and optical-add-drop is converted into the TAPI inventory format.

   ron-ols-1 and 1/2007/1/18,17 = /ne=ron-ols-1/r=1/sh=2007/sl=1/s_sl=0/p=18,17
   

2. Create Routed Optical Networking ML service with following parameters:

   Model	Transponder (1x400G mode)
   Bandwidth	400G

NSO Routed Optical Networking ML Service

This diagram displays the NSO Routed Optical Networking ML service workflow for an end-to-end service (Cisco routers with ZR/ZR+ optics and NCS 2000 devices).

The workflow of the Routed Optical Networking ML service is as follows:

1. User populates the inter-Layer link DB for each router end-point.

2. User initiates the Routed Optical Networking ML provisioning request.

3. The Routed Optical Networking ML service retrieves the transceiver and line card PIDs for each router end-point using Cisco YANG models.

4. The Routed Optical Networking ML service compares the received transceiver PIDs and determines if the transceivers can support the service.

5. The Routed Optical Networking ML service compares the received line card PIDs, and determines if the line cards need to be configured.

6. If there is no explicit SIP UUID, the Routed Optical Networking ML service performs a lookup for the SIP via the Optical Network Controller TAPI using the INVENTORY_ID.

7. The Routed Optical Networking ML service sends a TAPI connectivity-service request to Optical Network Controller for optical provisioning using SIPs and ZR/ZR+ application IDs.

8. Cisco Optical Network Controller returns the state after the provisioning is complete. Cisco Optical Network Controller optionally returns the wavelength and TX power if these parameters are not user-defined.

9. The Routed Optical Networking ML service provisions the router optics ports. It optionally performs bundle and IP configuration using the Cisco YANG models.

10. The Routed Optical Networking ML service stores the service information as NSO operational data and also returns the service state to user.

Provision End-to-end Service (Cisco Routers with ZR/ZR+ Optics Only)

These diagrams display a network that contains Cisco routers with ZR or ZR+ optics and a non-Cisco optical line system.

1. Create Routed Optical Networking ML Service with the following parameters:

   Input	Value
   End-points	ron-8201-1, ron-8201-2
   Model	Transponder (1x400G mode)
   Bandwidth	400G
   Frequency	1952000
   TX Power	-12dB on both endpoints

NSO Routed Optical Networking ML Service

This diagram displays the NSO Routed Optical Networking ML service workflow for an end-to-end service (only Cisco routers with ZR/ZR+ optics).

The workflow of the Routed Optical Networking ML service is as follows:

1. User initiates the Routed Optical Networking ML provisioning request.

2. The Routed Optical Networking ML service retrieves the transceiver and line card PIDs for each router end-point using Cisco native YANG models.

3. The Routed Optical Networking ML service compares the received transceiver PIDs and determines if the transceivers can support the service.

4. The Routed Optical Networking ML service compares the received line card PIDs, and determines if the line cards must be configured.

5. The Routed Optical Networking ML service provisions the router optics ports. It optionally performs bundle and IP configuration using the Cisco YANG models.

6. The Routed Optical Networking ML service stores the service information as NSO operational data and also returns the service state to user.

This table contains the streaming telemetry sensor paths and the information fields that you receive from them.

Note	The performance management sensor paths show the sensor path for a 30-second performance measurement (PM) interval. They also support 15 minutes and 24 hours. To access these options, replace second30 in the sensor path with minute15 and hour24 respectively.

NSO Provisioning

The following figure displays a successful provisioning scenario.

The following figure displays a failed provisioning scenario, due to an error in the Cisco Optical Network Controller provisioning.

Crosswork Hierarchical Controller Provisioning

In the event of a failed configuration, the configuration state transitions to FAILED. The Last Operation is in the Rollback stage where it rolls back the configuration.

After clicking the service, you can click on ERRORS to check the reason for failure. In this case, the discovery of the operational state exceeded the discovery timeout. The reason for this is, one end of the link was in a loopback state, which did not prohibit the provisioning of the ports, but affected the reachability between the two endpoints.

The logs display both the provisioning flow and the rollback flow.
