Validated Product - Cisco ONS 15454 SONET Multiservice Provisioning Platform (MSPP) Release 4.1.3 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Multiservice Provisioning Platform (MSPP) Release 4.1.3

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Cisco ONS 15454 is an optical networking system.  The primary function of the ONS 15454 is to provide the underlying infrastructure for metropolitan/regional optical transport networks.   The target of the Common Criteria evaluation is the Timing, Communications, and Control Card, Version 2.0 (TCC2) for both SONET (15454-TCC2) and SDH (15454E-TCC2) optical-based networks running software release 4.1.3.

The TCC2 supports the provisioning of multiple network platforms including Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) traffic as well as emerging services in these networks – Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), Multi Protocol Line Switching (MPLS) and Storage Area Networks (SANs).  Traditional transport services such as Ethernet, IP, and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) are also supported.  The security features of the TCC2 include maintenance of roles, identification and authentication (including limitation of concurrent sessions per user and limitation of authentication attempt failures), restricted management of security functions, and audit logging.

The ONS 15454 provides a single platform solution to aggregate access network traffic (e.g. routers, Data Link Connections (DLCs), Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs), Integrated Access Devices (IADs), cable modems, edge switches, etc.), multiplex that traffic to traverse metropolitan/regional optical networks and provide an interface to the Internet Point of Presence (PoP) or optical core.
