Turning Up a NodeThis chapter explains how to provision a single Cisco ONS 15454 node and turn it up for service, includingassigning the node name, date, and time; provisioning timing references; provisioning network attributes suchas IP address and default router; setting up users and user security; installing cards; and creating DWDMconnections.The procedures and tasks described in this chapter for the Cisco ONS 15454 platform is applicable to theCisco ONS 15454 M2 and Cisco ONS 15454 M6 platforms, unless noted otherwise.NoteProcedures in this chapter require that you have a network plan calculated for your DWDM network withCisco Transport Planner. Cisco Transport Planner is a DWDM planning tool that is available from your Ciscoaccount representative. Cisco Transport Planner prepares a shelf plan for each network node and calculatesthe power and attenuation levels for the DWDM cards installed in the node. For information about CiscoTransport Planner, contact your Cisco account representative. For instructions on using Cisco TransportPlanner, refer to the Cisco Transport Planner DWDM Operations Guide.NoteUnless otherwise specified, in this document “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI (ONS 15454) and ETSI(ONS 15454 SDH) shelf assemblies.NoteCisco Transport Controller (CTC) views referenced in these procedures depend on the mode. In single-shelfmode, the views are network, node, and card. In multishelf mode, the views are network, multishelf, shelf,and card. For more information about CTC views, refer to CTC Enhancements, Operations, and Shortcuts.NoteIn this chapter, “100G-LC-C card” refers to the 15454-M-100G-LC-C card. “10x10G-LC” refers to the15454-M-10x10G-LC card. “CFP-LC” refers to the 15454-M-CFP-LC card.Note• NTP-G341 Setting Up Secure Access to TL1, on page 2Turning Up a Node1
