Information About Cisco cBR 2x100G DPIC

The Cisco cBR-8 2x100G Digital Physical Interface Card (DPIC) fo Remote PHY provides two QSFP ports. The 2x100G DPIC works only with the CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R line card to transmit DEPI, UEPI, and GCP traffic from the Cisco cBR-8 router to Remote PHY devices.

The 2x100G DPIC has two groups of LEDs mapped to each QSFP port. If you have configured 10GE mode, QSFP0 maps to LEDs 0,2,4, and 6, while QSFP1 maps to LEDs 1,3,5, and 7. If you have configured 100GE mode, QSFP0 maps to LED 0 and QSFP1 maps to LED 1.

This DPIC supports Onboard Failure Logging (OBFL), environment monitoring, and FPD. However, the 2x100G DPIC does not support 8x10G DPIC or RF-PIC card protection.

The product ID (PID) of 2x100G DPIC is CBR-DPIC-2X100G.

Limitations on Downstream Bandwidth

For 2x100G DPIC, each XFI group supports a maximum of 10Gbps bandwidth—9Gbps for data traffic and 1Gbps for control packets. An error message similar to the following is logged in the syslog, when the theoretical maximum bandwidth for all video channels in a group exceeds 9Gbps.
%IOSXE-3-PLATFORM: CLC8: cdman: Video channel oversubscribed!! Downstream controller 8/0/0~7 bandwidth ratio is 100.1040%.

For CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R cards that support 40G DPIC, eight 10GE interfaces are divided into four XFI groups.

For each 10G interface, theoretical bandwidth of all downstream channels configured under Te <slot>/<subslot>/0 and Te <slot>/<subslot>/1 must not exceed 9Gbps.

For CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R cards supporting 40G DPIC 2x100G mode, only one 100GE interface is active. 32 downstream controllers are divided into four XFI groups.

Since there is only one 100G interface, for each downstream controller, the theoretical bandwidth of all downstream channels configured under cable downstream controller <slot>/<subslot>/0 | <slot>/<subslot>/7 must not exceed 9Gbps.

Support for Link Redundancy

The 2x100G DPIC supports only active-standby link redundancy mode, where if one interface is active, the other remains on standby. The 2x100G DPIC does not support active-active link redundancy mode. But, if the 2x100G DPIC is configured to work in the 8x10G DPIC mode, then the 2x100G DPIC supports active-standby and active-active link redundancy modes. Run the sh ip int b | in te slot/subslot command to view the details.


Router#sh ip int b | in Te9/1/
Te9/1/0     90.0.0.1     YES     NVRAM     up                       up 
Te9/1/1     91.0.0.1     YES     NVRAM     administratively down    down 
Te9/1/2     92.0.0.1     YES     VRAM      up                       up
Te9/1/3     93.0.0.1     YES     NVRAM     administratively down    down
Te9/1/4     94.0.0.1     YES     NVRAM     up                       up
Te9/1/5     95.0.0.1     YES     NVRAM     administratively down    down
Te9/1/6     96.0.0.1     YES     NVRAM     up                       up
Te9/1/7     88.0.97.1     YES     NVRAM    administratively down    down

If link redundancy is not enabled, then you cannot use port 1.

The 2x100G DPIC supports both standby-hot and standby-cold redundancy modes.

The 100GE <slot>/1/9 always remains administratively down irrespective of whether QSFP is installed or not. Run the sh ip int b | in Hu command to view the 100GE interface details.


Router#sh ip int b | in Hu
HundredGigE0/1/8   209.165.200.225   YES   NVRAM  up                      up
HundredGigE0/1/9   unassigned        YES   unset  administratively down   down

Configure 2x100G DPIC Mode

The 2x100G DPIC supports two modes—10G and 100G modes. To create a DPIC-100G card with 2x100GE interface mode, perform these steps.
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# card <slot>/0 CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R r-phy DPIC-G2-100GE

To create a DPIC-100G card with 8x10GE interface mode, perform these steps.

Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# card 2/0 CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R r-phy DPIC-G2-10GE 

Verify 2x100G DPIC Mode

To verify the 2x100G DPIC mode configuration, run the sh run | i card command.

Switch Between 8x10G and 2x100G Modes

To switch between 8x10G and 2x100G modes, perform these steps.

  1. Verify the current mode by running the show run command.

    Router# configure terminal
    Router#sh run | in card 9/0
    card 9/0 CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R r-phy DPIC-G2-10GE
    
  2. Switch modes by running these commands.

    Router#config t
    Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
    Router(config)#hw-module slot 9 shutdown
    Router(config)#hw-module subslot 9/1 shutdown
    Router(config)#no card 9/0 CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R r-phy DPIC-G2-10GE        
    Router(config)#card 9/0 CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R r-phy DPIC-G2-100GE
    Router(config)#no hw-module subslot 9/1 shutdown
    Router(config)#no hw-module slot 9 shutdown
    Router(config)#end
  3. Verify the mode again by running the show run command.

    
    Router#sh run | in card 9/0
    card 9/0 CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R r-phy DPIC-G2-100GE
    
  4. Run the show platform command to verify the status of the DPIC.

    Router# show platform 
    
    Slot      Type               State     Insert time (ago)
    --------- ------------------- -------- -----------------
    0         CBR-CCAP-LC-G2-R   ok        01:06:50 
    0/1       CBR-DPIC-2X100G    ok        01:03:36
