page 20-62.) Do not create DCC or LDCC terminations for the card/port that connects to the third-party
equipment. For example in Figure 5-11 on page 5-32, DCC terminations are created at the following
cards/ports:
• Nodes 1 and 6: Slot 5 and Slot 12
• Node 2 and 5: Slot 12
• Node 3 and 4: Slot 5
Note If an ONS 15454 is not connected to a corporate LAN, DCC or LDCC provisioning must be
performed through a direct (craft) connection. Remote provisioning is possible only after all
nodes in the network have DCC or LDCC terminations provisioned to in-service OC-N ports.
Step 5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each node in the path protection.
Step 6 As needed, complete the “DLP-A380 Provision a Proxy Tunnel” task on page 20-63.
Step 7 As needed, complete the “DLP-A381 Provision a Firewall Tunnel” task on page 20-64.
Step 8 Following the documentation provided by the third-party vendor, provision the optical loop leading from
the ONS 15454 connection at one end to the ONS 15454 connection at the other end. In other words,
you will create an open-ended path protection using procedures for the third-party equipment.
Step 9 Complete the “NTP-A225 Open-Ended Path Protection Acceptance Test” procedure on page 5-33.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A225 Open-Ended Path Protection Acceptance Test
Caution This procedure might be service affecting if performed on a node carrying traffic.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-66 at the node that will be the source node for
traffic traversing the third-party network. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.
Step 2 From the View menu, choose Go to Network View.
Step 3 Click the Alarms tab.
a. Verify that the alarm filter is not on. See the “DLP-A227 Disable Alarm Filtering” task on
page 19-17 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 Troubleshooting Guide if necessary.
c. Complete the “DLP-A516 Export CTC Data” task on page 22-6 to export the alarm information.
Purpose This procedure tests an open-ended path protection.
Tools/Equipment Test set and cables appropriate to the test circuit you will create.
