4.11 App 11: FLX-216i Configurations
The figure below shows an example of using the FLX-216i line card to provide OTN-level multiplexing of
GbE, OC-3/12, STM-1/4, OC-48, STM-16 signals into one or two OTU2 signals in a point-to-point
configuration. The optical layer is provided by LAD or WSS transport line cards.
Figure 94: FLX-216i Point-to-Point Configuration
The next figure shows an example of a single FLX-216i line card installed in each Z-Series shelf in a ring
configuration providing aggregation and transport of Ethernet and SONET/SDH over the same wave. The
optical layer is provided by LAD or WSS transport line cards.
