Technology Description
IPoDWDM is a network architecture approach that integrates layer 1 (optical) and layer 3 (IP) technologies by combining DWDM transponder features and functions into the router interface. Instead of being limited to a short-reach gray wavelength, the router is able to emit a tunable, ITU-grid compatible colored wavelength, with G.709 Digital Wrapper and Enhanced Forward Error Correction (EFEC) functions. This combination provides multiple advantages, including savings in capital and operational expenditures due to the elimination of multiple transponder shelves, cross-connect shelves, and associated short-reach interfaces. The total number of optical-electronic components is reduced by 50 percent, further lowering costs, improving availability, lowering the time needed to provision services on the network, and increasing mean time between failures (MTBF). It also halves the number of patch cables needed at the terminating sites, reduces power consumption, and shrinks the overall physical footprint of the equipment.

Note
Cisco ANA version 3.6.6 and later provides support for IPoDWDM only on CRS-1 devices running IOS-XR software.
Information Model Objects (IMOs)
This section describes the following IMOs:
DWDM Interface
The DWDM Interface object represents a DWDM controller physical termination point. It is accessed by the Module containing it.
Table 30-1 DWDM Interface (IDWDM)
Attribute Name Attribute Description Scheme Polling IntervalLocation
Indicates the port location on which the controller resides. It is the postfix of the Physical Port which has this DWDM controller.
IpCore
Configuration
Loopback
Transponder loopback setting (none, internal, line).
IpCore
Configuration
ControllerStatus
Status of the controller status (up, down).
IpCore
Configuration
WavelengthBand
Indicates the wavelength band (C-band, L-band).
IpCore
Configuration
Channel
The Multisource Agreement (MSA) ITU channel number. The ITU channel number is an integer from 1 to 83 (for the C-band) or from 106 to 185 (for the L-band).
IpCore
Configuration
Frequency
Frequency of the channel, in terahertz.
IpCore
Configuration
Wavelength
Wavelength corresponding to the channel number, in nanometers.
IpCore
Configuration
OpticsType
Indicates the optics type of the DWDM controller (DWDM, Cisco 10Gb DWDM, LR-2/L-64.2a (80km), 10Gb MSA WDM (65km), and so on).
IpCore
Configuration
TxPower
Transmit power level. Values are in units of 0.1 dBm and can range from -190 to +10. This corresponds to a range of -19 dBm to +1 dBm.
IpCore
Configuration
RxPower
Receive power level. Values are in units of 0.1 dBm and can range from -200 to 0. This corresponds to a range of -20 dBm to 0 dBm.
IpCore
Configuration
RxLosThreshold
Indicates the transponder receive power LOS threshold value (in units of 0.1dBm).
IpCore
Configuration
G709Info
The raw string output value of G709 status, as retrieved using the command line interface (CLI).
IpCore
Configuration
PMSettings
An array of one or more instances of DWDM PM Settings objects
IpCore
Configuration
DWDM G709 Information
The DWDM G709 Information object represents the G709 wrapper data for a DWDM Interface on a DWDM controller.
DWDM PM Settings
The DWDM PM Settings object contains the PM setting for the threshold crossing alarm (TCA) values and the threshold values on a DWDM controller.
Vendor-Specific Inventory and IMOs
There are no vendor-specific inventory or IMOs for this technology. Currently, only the Cisco CRS-1 device running IOS-XR is supported.
Service Alarms
The following alarms are supported for this technology:
