Features and Benefits
• 200 Gbps switch capacity per module.
• High density 10 GbE interface connectivity.
• Aggregation of 10G on the blade or across chassis using the XC-2800 Z77 switch fabric modules.
• A-to-Z provisioning of Ethernet services across multi-layer Ethernet, Ethernet transport, OTN,
and DWDM.
• Advanced MEF Ethernet services (E-Line, E-LAN).
• Connection Oriented Ethernet – IEEE 802.1ah for high performance transport and network
efficiency.
• Ethernet switch functionality provides the flexibility to augment or replace existing switches
or routers.
 Upgrading capacity and functionality.
 Easy migration of services from legacy Ethernet switches – for redeployment and reuse in
lesser transport intensive applications.
• ITU-T G.975 Generic Forward Error Correction (GFEC) on DWDM trunk (5-6dB link
improvement).
• OTU2 service identifiers on DWDM trunks for granular tracking and visibility.
• Span by span, per-service transmit and receive performance monitoring with 15-min and 24-hr PM
statistics.
• Supports removable XFP and SFP+ transceivers for client interface reach flexibility.
PSW-10G10 In-Band Management Channel
The PSW-10G10 module provides an optional in-band management channel of up to 100 Mbps in
bandwidth. If the Z77 shelf is configured with a PSW-10G10 line card and the shelf does not have a LAD or
WSS/AWG module or the traffic-carrying PSW interfaces are not fiber patched to an installed LAD or
WSS/AWG module, set the 10GE/OTU2 Fiber Port Signal Type parameter (General sub-tab) to "10GE
LAN" (default). When the PSW 10G fiber port is provisioned with a signal type of 10GE LAN or 10GE
WAN, the Topology Discovery and Routing parameters are automatically enabled (default) and the system
will use the PSW line card in-band management channel to provide node-to-node communication.
If the PSW-10G10 line card is installed in a Z77 shelf and a LAD or WSS/AWG module is providing the
OSC and the traffic-carrying PSW interfaces are fiber patched to a LAD or WSS/AWG module, Cyan
recommends that you set the PSW 10GE/OTU2 Fiber Port Signal Type parameter to "OTU-2" (General
sub-tab). When the PSW fiber port is provisioned with a signal type of OTU2, the Topology Discovery and
Routing parameters are automatically disabled and the PSW line card 100 Mbps of bandwidth that was
reserved for the in-band management channel is returned to the PSW 10G fiber port for payload. Disabling
Topology Discovery also prevents the system from displaying a topology line in addition to the OSC line to
the adjacent node in the 3D Network view tab.
