9.3 Provisionable Patchcords
A provisionable patchcord is a user-provisioned link that is advertised by OSPF throughout the network.
Provisionable patchcords, also called virtual links, are needed if an ONS 15600 optical port is connected
to an ONS 15454 transponder or muxponder client port provisioned in transparent mode. Provisionable
patchcords are required on both ends of a physical link. The provisioning at each end includes a
local patchcord ID, slot and port information, remote IP address, and remote patchcord ID. Patchcords
appear as dashed lines in CTC network view.
Table 9-5 lists the supported combinations for ONS 15600 optical cards and the ONS 15454
transponder/muxponder cards used in a provisionable patchcord. For more information about the
ONS 15454 transponder and muxponder cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.
