Chapter 8      Transponder and Muxponder Cards
8.17    SFP and XFP Modules
For TXP and MXP cards, adhere to the following conditions while DCC termination provisioning:
 • For SDCC/RS-DCC provisioning, the card should be in the Section/RS-DCC or Line/MS-DCC 
termination mode.
 • For LDCC/MS-DCC provisioning, the card should be in the Line/MS-DCC termination mode.
For more information on enabling termination modes, see the procedures for changing card setting in the 
“Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure 
Guide.
8.17 SFP and XFP Modules
SFPs and 10-Gbps SFPs (XFPs) are integrated fiber optic transceivers that provide high-speed serial 
links from a port or slot to the network. For more information on SFPs/XFPs and for a list of SFPs/XFPs 
supported by the transponder and muxponder cards, see the Installing the GBIC, SFP, and XFP Optics 
Modules in Cisco ONS Platforms.
In CTC, SFPs/XFPs are called pluggable port modules (PPMs). To provision SFPs/XFPs and change the 
line rate for multirate PPMs, see the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
Table 8-39 Termination Modes 
Cards Termination Mode Description
All TXP and MXP 
cards, with the 
exception of the 
MXP_2.5G_10G 
card (see next section 
of this table)
Transparent Termination All the bytes of the payload pass transparently through the cards.
Section Termination The SONET transport overhead (TOH) section bytes and the SDH 
regenerator section overhead (SOH) bytes are terminated. None of these 
SOH bytes are passed through. They are all regenerated, including the 
SONET TOH section DCC (SDCC) bytes and the SDH regenerator section 
DCC (RS-DCC) bytes. In the section termination mode, the SONET TOH 
line and SDH multiplex section overhead bytes are passed transparently.
Line Termination In line termination mode, the section and line overhead bytes for SONET 
and the overhead bytes for the SDH multiplex and regenerator sections are 
terminated. None of the overhead bytes are passed through. They are all 
regenerated, including the SONET SDCC and line DCC (LDCC) bytes and 
the SDH RS-DCC and multiplexer section DCC (MS-DCC) bytes.
MXP_2.5G_10G

1. Clients operating at the OC48/STM16 rate are multiplexed into an OC192/STM64 frame before going to OTN or DWDM.
Transparent Termination All client bytes pass transparently except the following: B1 is rebuilt, S1 is 
rewritten, A1 to A2 are regenerated, and H1 to H3 are regenerated.
Section Termination The SONET TOH section bytes and the SDH regenerator section overhead 
bytes are terminated. None of these section overhead bytes are passed 
through. They are all regenerated, including the SONET TOH section DCC 
bytes and the SDH RS-DCC bytes. In the section termination mode, the 
SONET TOH line and SDH multiplex section overhead bytes are passed 
transparently.
Line Termination In the line termination mode, the section and line overhead bytes for 
SONET and the overhead bytes for the SDH multiplex and regenerators 
sections are terminated. None of the overhead bytes are passed through. 
They are all regenerated, including the SONET SDCC and LDCC bytes and 
the SDH RS-DCC and MS-DCC bytes.
