Add an ML-Series Card into a Cisco Proprietary RPR

Figure 17-10

Three Node Cisco Proprietary RPR After the Addition

To add an ML-Series card to the Cisco proprietary RPR, you need to complete several general actions:

•

Force away any existing non-ML-Series card circuits, such as DS-1, that use the span that will be
deleted.

•

Shut down the POS ports on the adjacent ML-Series cards for the STS circuit that will be deleted to
initiate the Cisco proprietary RPR wrap.

•

Test Ethernet connectivity between the access ports on the existing adjacent ML-Series cards with
a test set to ensure that the Cisco proprietary RPR wrapped successfully.

•

Delete the STS circuit that will be replaced by the new circuits. (In

Figure 17-9

, this is the circuit

between Adjacent Node 2, POS 0 and Adjacent Node 1, POS 1.)

•

Insert the new node into the ring topology if the node is not already part of the topology.

•

Install the ML-Series card and load your initial configuration file or otherwise do an initial
configuration of the ML-Series card.

•

Ensure the new node is configured with Cisco proprietary RPR before its POS ports are manually
enabled or enabled through the configuration file.

•

Create an STS circuit from one of the POS ports of an existing adjacent ML-Series card to a POS
port on the new ML-Series card. (In

Figure 17-10

, this is the circuit between Adjacent Node 2,

POS Port 0 and New Node, POS Port 1.)

•

Create a second STS circuit from one of the POS ports of the other existing adjacent ML-Series card
to the remaining POS port on the new ML-Series card. (In

Figure 17-10

, this is the circuit between

New Node, POS Port 0 and Adjacent Node 1, POS Port 1.)

•

Configure the new ML-Series card to join the Cisco proprietary RPR and enable the POS ports, if
the initial configuration file did not already do this.

•

Enable the POS ports on the existing adjacent ML-Series cards that connect to the new ML-Series
card. (In

Figure 17-10

, these are Adjacent Node 1, POS Port 1 and Adjacent Node 2, POS Port 0.)
