Chapter 5 Turn Up a Network
NTP- D304 Provision a Traditional MS-SPRing Dual-Ring Interconnect
Step 21 At Node 2, repeat Steps 5 through 20, creating a test circuit between Node 2 and the node connected to
the east STM-N trunk card of Node 2 (Node 3). Work your way around the MS-SPRing creating test
circuits between every two consecutive nodes.
Step 22 After you test the entire ring, remove any loopbacks and test sets from the nodes.
Step 23 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the “DLP-D227 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on
page 19-25 as necessary.
b. Verify that no unexplained alarms appear on the network. If unexplained alarms appear, resolve
them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide if necessary.
c. Complete the “DLP-D147 Export CTC Data” task on page 18-38 to export alarm information.
Step 24 Click the Conditions tab.
a. Verify that no unexplained conditions appear on the network. If unexplained conditions appear,
resolve them before continuing. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Troubleshooting Guide if
necessary.
b. Complete the “DLP-D147 Export CTC Data” task on page 18-38 to export conditions information.
Step 25 If a node fails any test, repeat the test while verifying correct setup and configuration. If the test fails
again, refer to the next level of support.
After all tests are successfully completed and no alarms exist in the network, the network is ready for
service application. Continue with Chapter 6, “Create Circuits and Low-Order Tunnels.”
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-D304 Provision a Traditional MS-SPRing Dual-Ring
Interconnect
Note To route circuits on the DRI, you must check the Dual Ring Interconnect check box during circuit
creation.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49. If you are already logged in, continue with
Step 2.
Purpose This procedure provisions MS-SPRings in a traditional dual-ring
interconnect (DRI) topology. DRIs interconnect two or more MS-SPRings
to provide an additional level of protection. Two-fiber and four-fiber
MS-SPRings can be mixed in a traditional MS-SPRing DRI network.
