•
Both OCx and PDH are supported on Cisco NCS 4201 and NCS 4202 Routers.
Benefits of VCoP Smart SFP
•
Supports channelization upto STS1 channel
•
Reduces network complexity
Prerequisites
•
The Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) endpoints are up and running fine between
the PE nodes.
•
Ensure that SyncE is configured.
•
Use the PTP Telecom profile, G.8265.1 for frequency synchronization, for CEM.
•
VCoP smart SFP on OCn mode supports single-mode optical fiber cables.
•
Port interface is set as default by using the default int Gig 0/0/8 command before inserting VCoP smart SFP on GE or 10GE
port.
•
The GE or 10GE port interface is brought up using the no shutdown command.
•
In cases where a non-VCoP SFP is to be inserted on any port from which any VCoP smart SFP is removed, then before inserting
non-VCoP SFP, the VCoP smart SFP configuration is removed using the below commands:
◦
For OC-3
no platform smart-sfp interface Gig x/y/z type oc-3
◦
For OC-12
no platform smart-sfp interface Gig x/y/z type oc-12
◦
For T3
no platform smart-sfp interface Gig x/y/z type ds3
Note
•
Replace GE with 10GE in the above commands to configure VCoP as 10GE port
interface when inserted in a 10GE port.
•
There is no need to remove platform smart-sfp interface Gig/TenGig x/y/z type
oc-3/oc-12/ds3 command if you are replacing one VCoP smart SFP with the same
or another VCoP smart SFP.
•
To connect the CE nodes, VCoP smart SFP uses single mode fiber (SMF) over the LC optical interface for OCx mode and DIN
1.0/2.3 Coaxial connector cable for T3 mode.
