Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Product Overview, R3.4

Network Management
The ONS 15454 SDH is compatible with several network management protocols,
such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Proxy Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, and
Routing Information Protocol (RIP). If OSPF is not available, static routes can
also connect to ONS 15454 SDHs through routers. DCC tunneling is provided for
interoperability with other vendors’ equipment.
Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP is an application-layer Internet Protocol (IP) that enables network devices
to exchange management information. Network administrators can manage
network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network
growth. The ONS 15454 SDH supports SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) and SNMP
Version 2c (SNMPv2c). SNMPv2c offers additional protocol operations.
The ONS 15454 SDH uses SNMP to communicate segments of the CTC information
model to network management systems, such as the Hewlitt-Packard OpenView
Network Node Manager (NNM) or Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) NetExpert.
SNMP conveysinformation required for node-levelinventory, fault, and performance
management of the ONS 15454SDH node, and for generic read-only management of
E-1, E-3, SDH, and Ethernet.
The ONS 15454 SDH incorporates SNMP remote monitoring (RMON) to allow
network operators to monitor the ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet cards. RMON
operates transparently with a network management application, but you can
provision RMON alarm thresholds with CTC.
Proxy ARP
Proxy ARP enables a LAN-connected gateway ONS 15454 SDH to automatically
handle ARP requests forremote non-LANONS 15454SDHs connected by a DCC
to the gateway ONS 15454 SDH. Proxy ARP requires no manual configuration in
CTC.
Proxy ARP has a single LAN-connected ONS 15454 SDH stand-in (proxy) for
remote ONS 15454 SDHs. If a device on the LAN sends an ARP request intended for
one of the DCC-connected ONS 15454 SDHs, the gateway ONS 15454 SDH returns
