Examine the Cisco ONS 15454 MSPP, its components, and a network design example

The Cisco ONS 15454 is a highly flexible and scalable multiservice platform and one of the most widely deployed multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP) systems worldwide. Service providers and enterprise customers use it to build highly available transport networks for time-division multiplexing, Ethernet, storage extension, and wavelength services.

In this chapter download from Building Multiservice Transport Networks, study the major components of the ONS 15454 in order gain an understanding of the system's basic functionality. Next, study a network design example. Identify the requirements of an end customer, then design the entire network, including network map, ring optics transmission design, interface slotting, EIA selection, protection group assignment, and interface cabling plan.
