Supported Features
Note There are some variations in support by SPA model and software release. These differences are identified
here, in the
“Restrictions” section on page 14-4, and in the corresponding configuration chapter for that
SPA.
The following is a list of some of the significant software features supported by the serial SPAs on the
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers:
• Software selectable between T1, E1, T3, or E3 framing on each card (ports are configured as all T1,
E1, T3, or E3). Applies to the 2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA and 8-Port Channelized
T1/E1 SPA.
• Layer 2 encapsulation support:
– Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
– High-level Data Link Control (HDLC)
– Frame Relay
• Internal or network clock (selectable per port).
• Online insertion and removal (OIR).
• Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP).
• Alarm reporting: 24-hour history maintained, 15-minute intervals on all errors.
• 16- and 32-bit cyclic redundancy checks (CRC) supported (16-bit default).
• Local and remote loopback.
• Bit error rate testing (BERT) pattern generation and detection per port.
• Programmable BERT patterns enhancements.
Note The programmable BERT patterns enhancements are not supported on the 2- and 4-Port T3/E3
SPAs or the 8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA.
• Dynamic provisioning—Allows for the addition of new customer circuits within a channelized
interface without affecting other customers.
• Field-programmable device (FPD) upgrades.
• End-to-end FRF.12 fragmentation support (Quantum Flow Processor [QFP] based).
• QFP-based Multilink PPP (MLPPP) and Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI).
• Support for MLPPP across all SPAs.
• Support for MLPPP using any combination of E1, T1, and NxDS0 member links.
• Compressed Real-Time Protocol (cRTP)—8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA and 2-Port and 4-Port
Channelized T3 SPAs only.
• T1 features
– All ports can be fully channelized down to DS0.
– Data rates in multiples of 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps per channel.
– Maximum 1.536 Mbps for each T1 port.
