Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > Network > OSPF tabs.
Step 2 On the top left side of the OSPF pane, complete the following:
• DCC/GCC OSPF Area ID Table—Enter the number that identifies the ONS 15454 SDH nodes as a
unique OSPF area ID entered in dotted decimal format. It can be any number between
000.000.000.000 and 255.255.255.255. The number must be unique to the LAN OSPF area.
• SDCC Metric—This value is normally unchanged. It sets a cost for sending packets across the DCC,
which is used by OSPF routers to calculate the shortest path. This value should always be higher
than the LAN metric. The default SDCC metric is 10. The metric changes to 100 if you check the
OSPF Active on LAN check box in Step 3.
• LDCC Metric—Sets a cost for sending packets across the Line DCC. This value should always be
lower than the SDCC metric. The default LDCC metric is 33. It is usually not changed.
Step 3 In the OSPF on LAN area, complete the following:
• OSPF active on LAN—When checked, enables the ONS 15454 SDH OSPF topology to be
advertised to OSPF routers on the LAN. Enable this field on ONS 15454 SDH nodes that directly
connect to OSPF routers.
• LAN Port Area ID—Enter the OSPF area ID (dotted decimal format) for the router port where the
ONS 15454 SDH is connected. (This number is different from the DCC OSPF Area ID.)
Step 4 By default, OSPF is set to No Authentication. If the OSPF router requires authentication, complete the
following steps. If not, continue with Step 5.
a. Click the No Authentication button.
b. In the Edit Authentication Key dialog box, complete the following:
• Type—Choose Simple Password.
• Enter Authentication Key—Enter the password.
• Confirm Authentication Key—Enter the same password to confirm it.
c. Click OK.
The authentication button label changes to Simple Password.
Purpose This task enables the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol on
the ONS 15454 SDH. Perform this task if you want to include the ONS
15454 SDH in OSPF-enabled networks.
Tools/Equipment None
Prerequisite Procedures DLP-D60 Log into CTC, page 3-24
You will need the OSPF Area ID, Hello and Dead intervals, and
authentication key (if OSPF authentication is enabled) provisioned on the
router to which the ONS 15454 SDH is connected.
