System: Lasers

OneView's Lasers page consists of two sections: Laser Info and Redundancy Settings.

(NOTE: This page is only available when configured as a Connect Spectra™ system)


Laser Info

The Laser Info section contains two rows: Laser Enable and Laser Status

 
The Laser Enable row contains 8 sliding switches that allow you to enable or disable each ONS-S8 OPT port (OPT 1 to OPT 8). 

	Enabled
	Disabled

When disabled, all Edge Switches connected to an OPT port will be disconnected, or de-registered, from the system and will no longer be passing traffic. 

Do NOT forget to save your settings after making changes.

The Laser Status row displays three possible states:

	No SFP is inserted into the OPT port
	An SFP is inserted and at least one Edge Switch is connected/registered
	An SFP is inserted, but no Edge Switches are connected/registered

IMPORTANT: The ONS-S8 only accepts Optigo's ONS-SX-SFP transceivers.

Redundancy Settings

This section is for status and configuration of system redundancy, including the following:

• Unit Redundancy Mode - Strict (in redundancy mode) or Standalone (not in redundancy mode)
• Peer IP Address - the IP address of the partner system
• Peer Connection - the status of the link to the partner system
• Peer Sync - the status of both systems' databases and a button to sync them
