ONS 15454 Multishelf Node and Subtending Shelves
ONS 15454 Multishelf Node and Subtending Shelves
When ONS 15454 node is used as node controller, upto 29 shelves can be subtended using four 24-port Cisco
Catalyst 3560 switch or two 48-port Cisco Catalyst 3560 switch. Usage of TCC3 card as the node controller
is recommended if the number of subtended shelves is more than 12 shelves. This topology supports both the
non-secure and secure mode configuration.
ONS 15454 Multishelf Node and Subtending Shelves—Upgrade
Scenario 1: When ONS 15454 is connected to MS-ISC-100T card:
When an ONS 15454 node is connected to an MS-ISC-100T card, connect Port 1 of the Cisco Catalyst 3560
switch to Port 8 of the MS-ISC-100T card to upgrade the number of shelves. When you connect Cisco Catalyst
3560 switch to the MS-ISC-100T card, disconnect the shelves subtended to MS-ISC-100T card and re-connect
them to Cisco Catalyst 3560 switch. Usage of TCC3 card as the node controller is recommended if the number
of subtended shelves is more than 12 shelves. This topology supports both the non-secure and secure mode
configuration.
Scenario 2: When ONS 15454 node is connected to Cisco Catalyst 2950 switch:
When an ONS 15454 node is connected to a Cisco Catalyst 2950 switch, subtend the Cisco Catalyst 3560
switch to Cisco Catalyst 2950 switch to upgrade the number of shelves. Assign VLAN ID as VLANint to
Port 21 of the Cisco Catalyst 2950 switch and connect to Port 1 of the Cisco Catalyst 3560 switch. This
topology supports both the non-secure and secure mode configuration.
ONS 15454 Multishelf Node Controller, ONS 15454 M6 and ONS 15454 Subtending Shelves
When an ONS 15454 is used as the node controller, a mix of ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 M6 shelves can be
subtended through the Cisco Catalyst 3560 switch connected to the node controller or the MS-ISC-100T card
connected to the node controller. In this topology, ONS 15454 M6 shelves can be diasy chained. Usage of
TCC3 card as the node controller is recommended if the number of subtended shelves is more than 12 shelves.
This topology supports both the non-secure and secure mode configuration.
The ONS 15454 multishelf node controller cannot be converted to the subtended shelf controller using the
LCD. Hence, use CTC to perform the conversion.
