Cisco ONS 15454 SONET MSPP

[nmariano23]

I am doing a school research project in which I am setting up an OC-192 ring for a company (contract work through AT&T). I have chosen to use the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET MSPP as my platform. The company currently has locations in Chicago and Philadelphia and connects them through an OC-12C ATM connection and they are looking to add 2 gigabit ethernet connections.

My question is what cards and parts will I need for the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET MSPP, and how much will everything cost? I have been searching the internet for components and prices and I have found it extremely difficult to find any information. Any help or tips anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

I'd start by reposting to the optical networking forum in the Cisco Support Community.

There are some pretty smart folks that post there.

Since 15454 is a Cisco product, you should be able to find hardware details, pricing is usually only available to Cisco contract holders,

but again, hit the optical forum for guidance.

Here is a link to the 15454 info
