Operation, Administration, and Maintenance
This chapter describes the components required for operation, administration, and maintenance of the
Cisco ONS 15200.
4.1 Network Control
The Network Control Board (NCB) supervises, administers, and monitors the ONS 15200. In addition
to controlling all of the ONS 15200 system Client Layer Interface Port (CLIP) modules, the NCB module
collects information about system status, alarms, parameters, and actions on the internal data bus. See
the
for a description of NCB alarms.
4.2 Network Management Overview
You can manage an ONS 15200 network using three different connection interfaces:
•
An Ethernet connection to the NCB module located in an ONS 15252 Multichannel Unit (MCU).
•
A Maintenance Manager software connection over the internal data bus to the Communication
Interface Module (CIM) located in an ONS 15252 MCU or to the Collector Control Area Network
(CCAN) board located in an ONS 15201 Single-Channel Unit (SCU).
•
An Electronic Industries Association/Telecommunication Industry Association (EIA/TIA)
EIA/TIA-232 (RS-232) port connection located on the CIM in the ONS 15252 MCU. This
connection method requires the EIA/TIA-232 cable included with the ONS 15252 MCU.
illustrates the three network management interface connections.
You can control the ONS 15200 system using the Subnetwork Manager (SNM) software package
running on the NCB module located in the ONS 15252 MCU. Access the SNM through either the
EIA/TIA-232 port or the Ethernet port on the front of the NCB module. Additionally, you can manage
the ONS 15200 system externally using the Command Line Interface (CLI) software package described
in the
“Command Line Interface” section on page 4-5
or using the Maintenance Manager (MM) software
package described in the
“Maintenance Manager” section on page 4-6
. With the Internet, you can view
the ONS 15200 system using the web-based interface described in the
“Web-Based Interface” section on
. In addition, you can use SNMP and the Cisco Transport Manager (CTM) to have read-only
access to the ONS 15200.
