Network Element Defaults

The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
Note
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
This appendix describes the factory-configured (default) network element (NE) settings for the Cisco
ONS 15327. It includes descriptions of card default settings and node default settings and provides
procedures for importing, exporting and editing the settings. Ethernet card settings are not included in
the factory-configured settings.
To change card settings individually (that is, without changing the defaults), see Chapter 10, "Change
Port Settings." To change node settings without changing the defaults, see Chapter 9, "Change Node
Settings."

Network Element Defaults Description

The NE defaults are pre-installed on each ONS 15327 XTC card. They also ship as a file called
15327-defaults.txt on the CTC software CD in the event you want to import the defaults onto existing
XTC cards. The NE defaults include card-level and node-level defaults.
Changes made manually using Chapter 10, "Change Port Settings"override the default settings. If you
use the Defaults Editor or import a new defaults file, that is, if defaults are changed, the changes apply
only to cards installed or to slots pre-provisioned after the manual changes were made. A new defaults
file will not take effect for cards already installed or ports slots already pre-provisioned when the change
takes place.
Changes made manually to the node-level default settings (either when you initially turn up a node or
change node settings later) override the default settings. If you change the default settings using the
Defaults Editor or by importing a new defaults file, the new defaults take effect immediately for all
settings except those relating to path protection, BLSR, or 1+1 protection.
Use the following procedures if you need to edit, import, or export NE defaults.
