Introduces controller configuration concepts for optics controller breakout and optical module power-state management.
Controller configuration includes optics controller settings and optical module power-state controls that are applied from the CLI for the 36-port QSFP56-DD 400 GbE and 48-port QSFP28 100 GbE Line Cards.
The optics controller supports breakout configuration from controller optics configuration mode.
The optical module disable feature lets you disable and re-enable an optical module through the CLI. This operation simulates online insertion and removal (OIR) by disabling power to the transceiver port.
Typical optical module troubleshooting can include OIR by removing and reinstalling the module, which requires onsite personnel to physically reseat the module. Remote disable and enable operations can reduce the need for physical reseating and significantly reduce operational expenses.
When an optical module is disabled, the controller state changes from Up to Down, the optics type can be reported as unknown optics, and transmit and receive power values can display as N/A. Use the transceiver disable command in controller optics configuration mode to disable the module, and use the no transceiver disable command to re-enable it.
When two MACsec enabled Cisco 8000 Series Routers with Coherent Line Cards are connected, there is no compatibility between Coherent Line Cards of IOS XR Release.
