8.12.9    Security
Note Gigabit Ethernet is not supported on Port 9 and Port 10. Port 11 and Port 12 support only OC-3/STM-1 
or OC-12/STM-4.
Additionally, the following guidelines apply to the ADM-10G card:
 • The trunk port supports OC-192/STM-64 and OTU2.
 • The Interlink port supports OC-192/STM-64.
 • Up to six ADM-10G cards can be installed in one shelf.
 • The card can be used in all 15454-SA-ANSI and 15454-SA-HD shelves as well as ETSI ONS 15454 
standard and high-density shelves.
 • A lamp test function can be activated from CTC to ensure that all LEDs are functional. 
 • The card can operate as a working protected or working nonprotected card. 
 • In a redundant configuration, an active card hardware or software failure triggers a switch to the 
standby card. This switch is detected within 10 ms and is completed within 50 ms. 
 • ADM-10G cards support jumbo frames with MTU sizes of 64 to 10,000 bytes; the maximum is 
9,216.
 • After receiving a link or path failure, the ADM-10G card can shut down only the downstream 
Gigabit Ethernet port.
Note In ADM-10G cards, the Gigabit Ethernet port does not support flow control.
8.12.9 Security
The ADM-10G card that an SFP or XFP is plugged into implements the Cisco Standard Security Code 
Check Algorithm that keys on vendor ID and serial number. 
If a PPM is plugged into a port on the card but fails the security code check because it is not a Cisco 
PPM, a minor NON-CISCO-PPM alarm is raised.
If a PPM with a nonqualified product ID is plugged into a port on this card—that is, the PPM passes the 
security code as a Cisco PPM but it has not been qualified for use on the ADM-10G card, a minor 
UNQUAL-PPM alarm is raised.
8.12.10 Protection
The ADM-10G card supports 1+1 and SONET path protection and SDH SNCP protection architectures 
in compliance with Telcordia GR-253-CORE, Telcordia GR-1400-CORE, and ITU-T G.841 
specifications. 
8.12.10.1 Circuit Protection Schemes
The ADM-10G card supports path protection/SNCP circuits at the STS/VC4 (high order) level and can 
be configured to switch based on signal degrade calculations.
