  1. CENIC/NLR Optical Network Management Winter 2006 Joint Techs Workshop February 7, 2006 Chris Costa CENIC ccosta@cenic.org

  2. Agenda • Provide overview of CENIC and NLR Optical Infrastructures • Define the tools and procedures CENIC uses to monitor these networks • Identify some challenges supporting these large optical networks

  3. CENICCorporation for Educational Network Initiatives in California • Advanced optical network infrastructure servicing California’s colleges, research institutions and K-12 schools • Multi-tiered services across a common backbone • Cisco 15808/15454 Hybrid Long Haul platforms supporting up to 80 channels • Cisco 15540/15454 Metro platforms supporting up to 32 channels

  6. Management Platforms • Craft Interfaces for individual Network Element provisioning and troubleshooting • CTC - Cisco Transport Controller • 15454 provisioning/troubleshooting • CWD - Cisco Wavelength Director • 15808 provisioning/troubleshooting • CTM - Cisco Transport Manager • GUI based NMS provides overview of multiple spans in the network. • Inventory Management • Fault Management • Performance Management • Configuration Management

  7. Test Equipment OSA - Optical Spectrum Analyzer

  8. Performance Monitoring • PM Reports • trend analysis • Continuous, 15 min, 1 hr reports • Forward Error Correction - FEC • Validates client’s payload over the DWDM transport

  9. Commissioning Data Reports • Run prior to and after maintenances or service interruptions • Provides detailed analysis of optical parameters

  10. Optical Networking Challenges • NE monitoring during fiber cuts • Complex routed solutions • Hybrid Management systems • Utilize CTM and CTC/CWD to provision and troubleshoot • NMS Upgrades to support new hardware • Documentation • Keeping provisioning data up to date • Deploying test equipment • Configuration History • Audit Trail • Alarm correlation
