ML-Series Feature List
SONET/SDH alarm management, Cisco IOS Telnet session initialization, Cisco IOS configuration file
management and SONET/SDH circuit provisioning. SONET/SDH circuits cannot be provisioned
through IOS, but must be configured through CTC. SONET circuits can also be provisioned with TL1
on the ONS 15454.
The ML100T-12 features 12 RJ-45 interfaces, and the ML1000-2 features two Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP) slots supporting short wavelength (SX) and long wavelength (LX) optical modules. The
ML100T-12 and the ML1000-2 use the same hardware and software base and offer the same feature sets.
When installed in an ONS 15454 SONET, the card features two virtual ports with a combined STS-48
maximum. The STS circuits are provisioned through the ONS 15454 GUI (CTC) in the same manner as
standard OC-N card STS circuits. CTC also provides provisioning, inventory, SONET alarm reporting,
and other standard ONS 15454 card functions for the ML-Series.
When installed in an ONS 15454 SDH, the card features two virtual ports with a combined VC4-16c
maximum. The STS circuits are provisioned through the ONS 15454 SDH GUI (CTC) in the same
manner as standard STM circuits. CTC also provides provisioning, inventory, SDH alarm reporting, and
other standard ONS 15454 SDH card functions for the ML-Series.
For detailed card specifications, refer to the "Ethernet Cards" chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference
Guide or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Guide. For step-by-step instructions on configuring an
ML-Series SONET STS circuit, refer to the "Creating Circuits and VT Tunnels" chapter of the
Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide or the "Creating Circuits and Tunnels" chapter of the
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure Guide.
Note When a process makes unusually heavy demands on the CPU of the ML-Series card, it may impair CPU
response time and cause a CPUHOG error message to appear on the console. This message indicates
which process used a large number of CPU cycles, such as the updating of the routing table with a large
number of routes due to an event. Seeing this message as a result of card reset or other infrequent events
should not be a cause for concern.
