Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Product Overview
Network Configuration
Linear Add/Drop Multiplexer Mode
In a linear ADM configuration, each node has direct access to eastbound or
westbound STM channels at intermediate sites along a fiber route. ADM
configurations eliminate the need for costly back-to-back terminal configurations
and can be enhanced with protection spans for any or all transport spans in the
system. Figure 22 shows an ADM configuration.

Extended SNCP Mesh Network
With ONS 15454 SDH, you can set up extended SNCP mesh networks (extended
SNCP). Extended SNCP extends the protection scheme of SNCP from the basic
ring configuration to the meshed architecture of several interconnecting rings.
Typical SNCP creates two separate routes between source and destination nodes
on a single SNCP. Extended SNCP does this for source and destination nodes that
are not on the same ring butlink together through a network of connections. When
applied to a single ring, extended SNCP uses the same paths as the SNCP.
Extended SNCP connects the source and destination of a circuit over two diverse
paths through a network of single or multiple meshed rings. These two paths form
a circuit-level SNCP. The source sends traffic on each of the diverse paths to the
destination node, and the destination node uses the active path or switches to the
standby path. CTC can automatically route circuits across the extended SNCP, or
you can manually route circuits.
You can set the level of node diversityfor the extendedSNCP portions of the path.
When CTC calculates the path, it makes sure the computed path traverses the
required set of nodes and links and does not traverse excluded nodes and links.
Users can choose between the following levels:
Node 1
Node 3
Node 2
Slot 6 to Slot 6
Slot 5 to Slot 5
Slot 12 to Slot 12
Slot 13 to Slot 13
