Chapter 3 Overview: Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers SPAs
2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA Overview
Table 3-22 describes the 2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA LEDs.
2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA Interface Specifications
The framer processes incoming and outgoing SONET or SDH frames. The framer operates at
OC-3c/STM-1 line rates (155.52 Mbps).
Packet data is transported with a user-configured encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP]),
and is mapped into the STS-3c/STM-1 frame.
The 2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA interface complies with the following RFCs:
• RFC 1662, PPP in HDLC-like Framing
• RFC 2427, Multiprotocol Interconnect over Frame Relay
• RFC 2615, PPP over SONET/SDH
2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA Optical Transceiver Modules and
Cables
The 2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical
transceiver module installed in each port for SONET and SDH single-mode and multimode optical fiber
connection (see Figure 3-23).
Cisco qualifies the optics that are approved for use with its SPAs. The 2-Port and 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1
POS SPA supports the following types of optical transceiver modules:
• Multimode (MM) SFP module—SFP-OC3-MM
• Short-reach (SR) SFP module—SFP-OC3-SR
• Intermediate-reach (IR) SFP module (15 km)—SFP-OC3-IR1
• Long-reach (LR) SFP module (40 km)—SFP-OC3-LR1
• Long-reach (LR) SFP module (80 km)—SFP-OC3-LR2
