Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility

To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether SPA interface processors (SIPs) or SPAs within a system are compatible, but it does provide the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware modules or components.


Note Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.


To access Software Advisor, click Login at Cisco.com, type "Software Advisor" in the SEARCH box, and click GO. Click the link for the Software Advisor tool.

Choose a product family or enter a specific product number to search for the minimum supported software release needed for your hardware.

Bandwidth Oversubscription

Oversubscribing the bandwidth limit recommendations of a router can result in decreased or degraded performance. For this reason, it is important to determine the amount of bandwidth used by the SPAs on the router and verify that the total bandwidth used by all SPAs does not exceed the recommended bandwidth limit of the router. It is also important not to exceed the bandwidth of the SIP. For information on SIP bandwidth, see Chapter 2, "SIP Summary."

Table 2-1 provides information about the bandwidth for each port (per-port bandwidth) on a SPA, as well as the cumulative bandwidth (total bandwidth) for all ports available on the SPA.

Cisco 7600 SIP-400 Oversubscription Guidelines

As of Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXF, when using the Cisco 7600 SIP-400 with the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA or the 1-Port OC-48c/STM-16 ATM SPA, consider the following oversubscription guidelines:

The Cisco 7600-SIP-400 only supports installation of one 1-Port OC-48c/STM-16 ATM SPA without any other SPAs installed in the SIP.

The Cisco 7600-SIP-400 supports installation of up to two 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPAs without any other SPAs installed in the SIP.

The Cisco 7600-SIP-400 supports installation of any combination of a OC-3, OC-12 POS, CEoP, or ATM SPAs, up to a combined ingress bandwidth of OC-48 rates.

The Cisco 7600-SIP-400 supports installation of any combination of OC-3, OC-12 POS, CEoP, or ATM SPAs up to a combined ingress bandwidth of OC-24 rates, when installed with a single 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA.

The Cisco 7600-SIP-400 supports installation of a single 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA without any other SPAs installed in the 7600-SIP-400.


Note A 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA on a 7600-SIP-400 provides 4 Gbps of bandwidth.


A maximum of 32 total ingress SPI-4 ports are supported on the SIP-400. Ethernet SPAs use 2 SPI Port per interface. If a SPA which causes the total required SPI-4 ports on SIP-400 to exceed 32, that SPA will not be permitted to power up.
For example, if you insert the SPA-5x1GE into the SIP-400, where SPAs already inserted have consumed at least 23 SPI ports, the following error message will be posted on the console:

SPI-4 port limit exceeded, SPA-5X1GE in subslot 3 has been powered down.

The Cisco 7600 supports four 4-port FE SPAs or two 8-port FE SPA in SIP-400 in one shot

The following table lists the the different SPA types and the total SPI ports consumed by them on a SIP-400:

2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPA Interface Specifications

The framer processes incoming and outgoing T3 frames (cbit, m13/m23, and unframe). The framer operates at T3 line rates (44.2 Mbps).

Packet data is transported with a user-configurable encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP] or High-Level Data Link Control [HDLC]), and is mapped to T3 frames. The encapsulations add transport overhead to the packet of data frames before transporting, and are stripped when a packet is transported to the far end.

The T3 SPA interface is compliant with ANSI and Telco standards. The interface also provides support for Management Information Base (MIB) RFC 2495, RFC 2496, and T1.231.

2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPA Cables and Connectors

The interface connectors on the 2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPA are 75-ohm coaxial Siemax types, with one connector and cable for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).

The following cables can be used with the 2-Port and 4-Port Channelized T3 SPA. The cables have BNC on one end and the Siemax connectors on the other.

CAB-T3E3-RF-BNC-M (T3 or E3 Cable, 1.0/2.3 RF to BNC-Male, 10 Feet )

CAB-T3E3-RF-BNC-F(T3 or E3 Cable, 1.0/2.3 RF to BNC-Female, 10 Feet )

CAB-T3E3-RF-OPEN (T3 or E3 Cable, 1.0/2.3 RF to BNC-Open end, 10 Feet )

8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA Interface Specifications

The E1 interface on the 8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA uses RJ-48c receptacles for E1 (120-Ohm) cables with RJ-45 connectors. You can use all ports simultaneously. Each E1 connection supports interfaces that meet G.703 standards. The RJ-45 connection does not require an external transceiver. The E1 ports are E1 interfaces that use 120-ohm unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables.

1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA Interface Specifications

The framer processes incoming and outgoing SONET or SDH frames. The framer operates at OC-3c/STM-1 line rates (155.52 Mbps).

Packet data is transported with a user-configured encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP]) and is mapped into the STS-3c/STM-1 frame.

The 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA interface is compliant with RFC 1619, PPP over SONET/SDH, and RFC 1662, PPP in HDLC-like Framing. The 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA also provides support for SNMP v1 agent (RFC 1155-1157), and Management Information Base (MIB) II (RFC 1213).

1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA Cables and Connectors

The 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module installed in each port for SONET and SDH single-mode and multimode optical fiber connection (see Figure 2-6).

Figure 2-6 SFP Optics Module

The SFP optical transceiver modules used with the 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA provide the following optical fiber options:

Multimode—155-Mbps, OC-3c/STM-1 optical fiber (SONET STS-3c or SDH STM-1)

Use a multimode optical fiber that has a core/cladding diameter of 62.5/125 microns.

Single-mode—155-Mbps, OC-3c/STM-1 optical fiber (SONET STS-3c or SDH STM-1)

Use a single-mode optical fiber that has a modal-field diameter of 8.7 ±0.5 microns. (Nominal diameter is approximately 10/125 microns.)

For single-mode and multimode optical fiber connections, you can use either a duplex LC-type cable (see Figure 2-15) or two simplex LC-type cables, one for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).

Use single-mode (for intermediate- or long-reach configurations) or multimode optical fiber cable to connect your router to a network or to connect two 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA -equipped routers back to back.

Long-range SFP optical transceiver modules (for long-reach configurations) cannot be connected back-to-back without using an attenuator between the two of them.

The 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR VSR Optics SPA uses fixed optical transceivers, one for receive (RX) and one for transmit (TX), for SONET and SDH connection to the network. Very Short Reach (VSR) optics only are supported.

The 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR VSR Optics SPA uses single mode SC-type connectors:

Single-mode—9.95 Gbps, OC-192 optical fiber (SONET STS-192c or SDH STM-64c)

Use a single-mode optical fiber that has a modal-field diameter of 8.7 ±0.5 microns. (Nominal diameter is approximately 10/125 microns.)

Use a single-mode optical fiber cable to connect your router to a network.


Note 40-pin connector on the 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR VSR Optics SPA is used for resilient packet ring (RPR) connections.


Figure 2-27 shows a picture of the cable type for use with the fixed optic transceiver module on the 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR VSR Optics SPA.

Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts

The interface connectors on the 4-Port and 8-Port Fast Ethernet SPA are four or eight individual RJ-45 receptacles. You can use all interface connectors simultaneously. Each connection supports IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet 10/100BASE-T interfaces compliant with appropriate standards. Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) RJ-45 cables; these cables are available commercially.

Figure 2-35 shows the RJ-45 connector. Table 2-22 lists the pinouts and signals for the RJ-45 connector.

Note Referring to the RJ-45 pinout in Table 2-22, proper common-mode line terminations should be used for the unused Category 5 UTP cable pairs 4/5 and 7/8. Common-mode termination reduces the contributions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to common-mode sources. Wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 are actively terminated in the RJ-45 port circuitry in the 4-Port and 8-Port Fast Ethernet SPA.


The 4-Port and 8-Port Fast Ethernet SPA supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover at all speeds of operation allowing the SPA to work with straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables. Depending on your RJ-45 interface cabling requirements, use the pinouts in Figure 2-36 and Figure 2-37.

2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA Cables and Connectors

The interface connectors on the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA are two individual fiber optic receivers that support SFP modules. Each port can send and receive traffic using the optical fiber connections.

SFP Module Connections

The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is an input/output (I/O) device that plugs into the Gigabit Ethernet optical slots on the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA, linking the port with a 1000BASE-X fiber-optic network.


Note The 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA will only accept the SFP modules listed as supported in this document. An SFP check is run every time an SFP module is inserted into the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA and only SFP modules that pass this check will be usable by the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA.
SFP modules exist for technologies other than Gigabit Ethernet and for products other than the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA. However, the information in this document pertains only to SFP modules that plug into the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA ports.


The SFP module has a receiver port (RX) and a transmitter port (TX) that compose one optical interface. Table 2-28 and Table 2-29 provide SFP module information and specifications.


Note Because the SPA-2X1GE-V2 has two native copper connectors, it does not support the SFP-GE-T.

SFP-GE-S Modules

The 1000BASE-SX (short wavelength) module operates on standard multimode fiber-optic link spans of up to 500 m on 50/125um MMF and 300 m on 62.5/125um MMF.

SFP-GE-L Modules

The 1000BASE-LX/LH (long wavelength/long haul) module interfaces fully comply with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard. However, their higher optical quality allows them to reach 6.2 miles (10 km) over single-mode fiber (SMF) versus the 3.1 miles (5 km) specified in the standard.

SFP-GE-Z Modules

The 1000BASE-ZX (extended wavelength) module operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 49.7 miles (80 km). Link spans of up to 62.1 miles (100 km) are possible using premium single-mode fiber or dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber (premium single-mode fiber has a lower attenuation per unit length than ordinary single-mode fiber; dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber has both lower attenuation and less dispersion).

The 1000BASE-ZX module must be coupled to single-mode fiber-optic cable, which is the type of cable typically used in long-haul telecommunications applications. The 1000BASE-ZX module will not operate correctly when coupled to multimode fiber, and it is not intended to be used in environments where multimode fiber is frequently used (for example, building backbones, or horizontal cabling).

The 1000BASE-ZX module is intended to be used as a Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) component for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces found on various switch and router products. It operates at a signaling rate of 1250 Mbaud, transmitting and receiving 8B/10B encoded data.

When shorter lengths of single-mode fiber are used, it may be necessary to insert an in-line optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.

Insert a 10-dB in-line optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX module at each end of the link whenever the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.5 miles (25 km).

Insert a 5-dB in-line optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX module at each end of the link whenever the fiber-optic cable span is equal to or greater than 15.5 miles (25 km) but less than 31 miles (50 km).

SFP-GE-T Modules

The SFP-GE-T (1000BASET copper SFP module) provides full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to high-end workstations and between wiring closets over an existing copper network infrastructure. The SFP-GE-T maximum cabling distance is 328 feet (100 m).


Note Only full-duplex mode is supported. Because autonegotiation of full-duplex is not supported, you must manually configure the remote port for full-duplex.


SFP Module Cabling and Connection Equipment

Table 2-30 provides cabling specifications for the SFP modules that can be installed on the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA. Note that all SFP ports have LC-type connectors.

The minimum cable distance for the SFP-GE-S is 6.5 feet (2 m), and the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 6.2 miles (10 km) with an 8-dB attenuator installed at each end of the link. Without attenuators, the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 24.9 miles (40 km).

When using the SFP-GE-L with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module and the MMF cable on both the transmit and the receive ends of the link when link distances are greater than 984 ft (300 m).
We do not recommend using the SFP-GE-L and MMF with no patch cord for very short link distance (tens of meters). The result could be an elevated bit error rate (BER).

3 Dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber-optic cable.



Note The 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules provide an optical power budget of 21.5 dB. You should measure your cable plant with an optical loss test set to verify that the optical loss of the cable plant (including connectors and splices) is less than or equal to 21.5 dB. The optical loss measurement must be performed with a 1550-nm light source.

2 A mode-conditioning patch cord is required.
When using the SFP-GE-L with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module and the MMF cable on both the transmit and the receive ends of the link when link distances are greater than 984 ft (300 m).
We do not recommend using the SFP-GE-L and MMF with no patch cord for very short link distance (tens of meters). The result could be an elevated bit error rate (BER).

3 Dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber-optic cable.



Note The 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules provide an optical power budget of 21.5 dB. You should measure your cable plant with an optical loss test set to verify that the optical loss of the cable plant (including connectors and splices) is less than or equal to 21.5 dB. The optical loss measurement must be performed with a 1550-nm light source.

10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts

The interface connectors on the 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA are ten individual fiber optic receivers that support SFPs. Each port can send and receive traffic using the optical fiber connections.

SFP Connections

The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is an input/output (I/O) device that plugs into the Gigabit Ethernet optical slots on the 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA, linking the port with a 1000BASE-X fiber-optic network.


Note The 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA will only accept the SFP modules listed as supported in this document. An SFP check is run every time an SFP is inserted into the 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA and only SFP modules that pass this check will be usable by the 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA.
SFP modules exist for technologies other than Gigabit Ethernet and for products other than the 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA. However, the information in this document pertains only to SFP modules that plug into the 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA ports.


The SFP module has a receiver port (RX) and a transmitter port (TX) that compose one optical interface. Table 2-36 and Table 2-37 provide SFP information and specifications.

SFP-GE-S Modules

The 1000BASE-SX (short wavelength) module operates on standard multimode fiber-optic link spans of up to 500m on 50/125um MMF and 300 m on 62.5/125um MMF.

SFP-GE-L Modules

The 1000BASE-LX/LH (long wavelength/long haul) module interfaces fully comply with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard. However, their higher optical quality allows them to reach 6.2 miles (10 km) over single-mode fiber (SMF) versus the 3.1 miles (5 km) specified in the standard.

SFP-GE-Z Modules

The 1000BASE-ZX (extended wavelength) module operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 49.7 miles (80 km). Link spans of up to 62.1 miles (100 km) are possible using premium single-mode fiber or dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber (premium single-mode fiber has a lower attenuation per unit length than ordinary single-mode fiber; dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber has both lower attenuation and less dispersion).

The 1000BASE-ZX module must be coupled to single-mode fiber-optic cable, which is the type of cable typically used in long-haul telecommunications applications. The 1000BASE-ZX module will not operate correctly when coupled to multimode fiber, and it is not intended to be used in environments where multimode fiber is frequently used (for example, building backbones, or horizontal cabling).

The 1000BASE-ZX module is intended to be used as a Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) component for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces found on various switch and router products. It operates at a signaling rate of 1250 Mbaud, transmitting and receiving 8B/10B encoded data.

When shorter lengths of single-mode fiber are used, it may be necessary to insert an in-line optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.

Insert a 10-dB in-line optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX module at each end of the link whenever the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.5 miles (25 km).

Insert a 5-dB in-line optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX module at each end of the link whenever the fiber-optic cable span is equal to or greater than 15.5 miles (25 km) but less than 31 miles (50 km).

SFP-GE-T Modules

The SFP-GE-T (1000BASET copper SFP module) provides full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to high-end workstations and between wiring closets over an existing copper network infrastructure. The SFP-GE-T maximum cabling distance is 328 feet (100 m).

Only full-duplex mode is supported.

SFP Module Cabling and Connection Equipment

Table 2-38 provides cabling specifications for the SFP modules that can be installed on the 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA. Note that all SFP ports have LC-type connectors.

The minimum cable distance for the SFP-GE-S is 6.5 feet (2 m), and the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 6.2 miles (10 km) with an 8-dB attenuator installed at each end of the link. Without attenuators, the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 24.9 miles (40 km).

RJ-45 Cable Pinouts

T1 lines from individual subscribers are attached to RJ-45 connectors on the front of the 24-port patch panel. Each RJ-45 port accommodates an individual T1 subscriber line.

Pins 1 and 2 and 4 and 5 of the RJ-45 connectors are used for the 24-port CEoP SPA's Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) signals. Depending on how the cable is installed between the SPA and its patch panel (rear), the RJ-45 connectors operate as follows:

If the TX cable lead is connected to Transmit on the patch panel and RX is connected to Receive:

The SPA's TX signals are transmitted on RJ-45 pins 1 (ring) and 2 (tip).

The SPA's RX signals are received on RJ-45 pins 4 (ring) and 5 (tip).

If the TX cable lead is connected to Receive on the patch panel and RX is connected to Transmit:

RJ-45 pins 1 and 2 are used for the SPA's RX signal.

RJ-45 pins 4 and 5 are used for the SPA's TX signal.

Patch Panel Cabling

If you are connecting two 24-Port Channelized T1/E1 ATM CEoP SPAs to each other, you must cable both SPA's patch panels together using a T1 cross-over cable or a T1 straight-through cable. The type of cable you use (cross-over or straight-through) depends on how the CEoP SPAs are cabled to their patch panels:

If both CEoP SPAs are connected to their patch panels in the same manner (TX to Transmit and RX to Receive, or TX to Receive and RX to Transmit), use a T1 cross-over cable to connect the patch panels to each other.

If both CEoP SPAs are connected to their patch panels in a different configuration (TX to Transmit and RX to Receive on one SPA, and TX to Receive and RX to Transmit on the other SPA), use a T1 straight-through cable (standard RJ-45 patch cable) between the patch panels.

24-Port Channelized T1/E1 ATM CEoP SPA Patch Panel

The recommended patch panel is part number DCC2484/25T1S from SMP Data Communications (http://www.smpdata.com).

The framer processes incoming and outgoing T3 (cbit, m13/m23, and unframed) and E3 (g751, g832, and unframed) frames. The framer operates at T3 or E3 line rates (44.736 or 34.368 Mbps) depending on the mode in which it is configured.


Note For Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRC, the 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA supports T3 ATM only. E3 ATM is not supported.


T3/E3 data is encapsulated and sent across the MPLS network over user-configurable pseudowires. In ATM mode, data is encapsulated into ATM cells and transported across the network. In circuit emulation (CEM) mode, channelized data is encapsulated in structured mode using the Circuit Emulation Services over Packet Switched Network (CESoPSN) format, and unchannelized data is encapsulated in unstructured mode using Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP) format. The encapsulation adds transport overhead to the CEM frames or ATM cells before transport and removes the overhead at the far end.

The T3/E3 SPA interface is compliant with ANSI and Telco standards. The interface also provides support for Management Information Base (MIB) RFC 2495, RFC 2496, and T1.231.

2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA Cables and Connectors

The interface connectors on the 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA are 75-ohm coaxial Siemax types, with one connector and cable for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).

The following cables can be used with the 2-Port Channelized T3/E3 ATM CEoP SPA. The cables have BNC connectors on one end and the Siemax connectors on the other. If similar SPAs are connected back-to-back, both ends of cable will be Siemax.

CAB-T3E3-RF-BNC-M (T3 or E3 Cable, 1.0/2.3 RF to BNC-Male, 10 feet)

CAB-T3E3-RF-BNC-F (T3 or E3 Cable, 1.0/2.3 RF to BNC-Female, 10 feet)

CAB-T3E3-RF-OPEN (T3 or E3 Cable, 1.0/2.3 RF to BNC-Open end, 10 feet)


NoteThe Cisco cable part numbers are 72-4124-01 (with male BNC end) and 72-4131-01 (with female BNC end).

The SPA can receive data over the cable up to a maximum distance of 1350 ft (411.5 meters).
