BLSR Support for Mixed Node Networks
The ONS 15327 is supported for BLSR in combination with ONS 15454 nodes only if Release 3.3 is
installed and running on all BLSR nodes. If you wish to provision a BLSR on a combination of ONS
15327 and ONS 15454 nodes, you should upgrade to Release 3.3 on all ONS 15454 and ONS 15327
nodes first.
UPSR Functionality
DDTS # CSCdx40081
If, in an OC-48 UPSR network, there is an STS-3C circuit, using STS 4-6, that terminates on OC-12 IR
cards, and 28 VT circuits are bulk provisioned between two nodes on the ring, the STS-3C circuit can
take at least one traffic hit during the VT circuit provisioning process. This only occurs if an OC-12 IR
card has been reset after the STS-3C circuit was created.
Deleting one or more VT circuits in the same situation may also cause an STS3C traffic hit. It is not
known when or if this issue will be resolved.
TL1
To be compatible with TL1 and DNS, all nodes must have valid names. Node names should contain
Note
alphanumeric characters or hyphens, but no special characters or spaces.

The time period parameter has changed from 15MIN to 15-MIN, and its position in the output has
shifted.
The direction parameter, BTH, is no longer included in the output. Only TRMT, or RCV is valid.
The mondat and montm parameters have been added to the end of output.
