Enabling the ASON Feature

The NE obtains the ASON feature after this feature is enabled. The ASON feature is disabled by default during delivery.

Prerequisites

  • The NE software must contain the ASON feature and must be successfully enabled.
  • The NE must be in the running state.
  • The NE must be created on the U2000 Web LCT and the NE data must be already uploaded.
  • Check the Enable TIM Response status of the neighboring NEs before enabling the ASON feature. If the Enable TIM Response status is Enabled, modify it into Disabled.

Background Information

  • A unique node ID is allocated to each ASON NE to identify the NE in the ASON network. In the same ASON network, node IDs cannot be duplicate or in the same network segment as the IP address of the corresponding NE. The format of a node ID is the same as that of an IP address. The node ID cannot be 0.0.0.0, 1.2.3.4 or 255.255.255.255. Properly set the NE node ID before you enable the ASON feature of the NE.
  • After you enable the ASON feature, upload the NE data to keep the consistency of data between the U2000 Web LCT and the NE.
  • You can disable the ASON feature of an ASON NE according to the project requirement. After you disable the ASON feature, the NE is possessed of only traditional NE features.
    NOTE:
    To disable the ASON feature, the NE must meet the following requirements:
    • The NE must be in the running state and does not have any ASON cross-connection or ASON service residual
    • The fiber between the local NE and the adjacent node must not carry ASON services.
    NOTICE:

    In the case of the ASON NEs of GCP versions earlier than V200R001, disabling the ASON feature causes a reset operation on the specific NE. Therefore, before disabling the ASON feature, ensure that all services have been migrated to other optimized trails; in the case of V200R001 or later versions, disabling the ASON feature does not cause a reset operation on the specific NE.

Procedure

  1. In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose ASON > ASON Feature Management from the Function Tree.
  2. Click Query to view the current enabling status of the ASON feature.
  3. Set ASON Feature to Enabled.

    NOTE:

    Set the ASON Feature to Disabled to disable the ASON feature.

  4. Click Apply. After you confirm the operation twice, a prompt is displayed indicating that the operation was successful.

    After you disable the ASON feature, synchronize the NE data to keep the consistency of data between the U2000 Web LCT and the NE.
