Note
Changing some node-level provisioning through NE defaults can cause CTC disconnection or a
reboot of the node in order for the provisioning to take effect. Before you change a default, check
in the Side Effects column of the Defaults editor (right-click a column header and select
Show Column > Side Effects
) and be prepared for the occurrence of any side effects listed for
that default.
C.2 Card Default Settings
The tables in this section list the default settings for each SDH card. Cisco provides several types of
user-configurable defaults for Cisco ONS 15600 SDH optical, electrical, storage access networking, and
Ethernet (or data) cards. Types of card defaults can be broadly grouped by function, as outlined in the
following subsections. For information about individual card settings, refer to the “Change Card
Settings” chapter of the
Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Procedure Guide
.
Note
When the card level defaults are changed, the new provisioning done after the defaults have changed is
affected. Existing provisioning remains unaffected.
The following types of defaults are defined for SDH cards.
C.2.1 Configuration Defaults
Card-level and port-level configuration defaults correspond to settings found in the CTC card-level
Provisioning tabs.
Configuration defaults that correspond to settings that are reachable from the CTC card-level
Provisioning tabs include the following types of options (arranged by CTC subtab):
•
Line—(STM-N and STM64-4-DWDM cards) Line-level configuration settings.
•
VC4—(STM-N and STM64-4-DWDM cards) VC4 configuration settings.
•
VC3—(STM-N cards) VC3 configuration settings.
•
Pluggable Port Modules—(ASAP cards only) PPM (SFP) slot and port rate configuration settings.
•
Optical—(ASAP cards only) STM-N rate port-level line configuration, VC3, VC4, Optics threshold,
and SDH threshold settings.
•
Ethernet—(ASAP cards only) Ethernet port-level line configuration settings.
Note
Ethernet line configuration defaults apply to both Ethernet port and packet-over-SDH (POS) port
settings where the same setting exists for both.
