Before You Begin - Cisco ONS 15454 Series Procedure Manual

Add and Remove Nodes
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 chapter explains how to add and remove Cisco ONS 15454 nodes from bidirectional line switched
rings (BLSRs), path protection configurations, and linear add-drop multiplexer (ADM) networks.

requires that circuits be deleted and recreated. To add a node without disrupting traffic, use the
following procedure.
