Far End TID—Enter the TID of the ONS ENE at the far end of the tunnel. The ENE must be a
Cisco ONS NE. The TID is the name entered in the Node Name field on the node view Provisioning
> General tab.
Host Name/IP Address—Enter the GNE DNS host name or IP address through which the tunnel will
established. This is the third-party vendor GNE that is connected to an ONS NE with an OSI DCC.
CTC uses TCP/IP over a DCN to reach the GNE. The GNE accepts TL1 connections from the
network and can forward TL1 traffic to the ENEs.
Choose a port option:
Use Default TL1 Port—Choose this option if you want to use the GNE default TL1 port. TL1
–
uses standard ports, such as 3081 and 3082, unless custom TL1 ports are defined.
Use Other TL1 Port—Choose this option if the GNE uses a different TL1 port. Enter the port
–
number in the box next to the User Other TL1 Port radio button.
TL1 Encoding Mode—Choose the TL1 encoding:
LV + Binary Payload— TL1 messages are delimited by LV (length value) headers and TCP
–
traffic is encapsulated in binary form. Cisco recommends this option because it is the most
efficient. However, you must verify that the GNE supports LV + Binary Payload encoding.
– LV + Base64 Payload— TL1 messages are delimited by LV headers and TCP traffic is
encapsulated using Base64 encoding.
– Raw—TL1 messages are delimited by semi-columns only, and the TCP traffic is encapsulated
using Base64 encoding.
