What Is the CPT System?
The CPT System is the first Packet-Optical Transport System (P-OTS) built on standards-based MPLS-TP technology. The CPT System unifies both packet and transport technologies, giving a strong foundation for next-generation transport. The CPT System is designed to support transport applications so that service providers can continue to offer existing transport services while enabling new packet services.
The existing transport networks must be migrated from TDM networks to packet transport networks because the packet-based services dominate the overall network traffic. Next-generation transport networks enable and support new mesh, multipoint, and multidirectional services. By deploying packet transport networks, you can benefit from:
- Statistical multiplexing
- Dynamic bandwidth allocation
- QoS
Note
CPT System is displayed as “PT System” in the Prime Optical user interface.
The CPT System provides the following benefits:
- Ensures a smooth and efficient transition from TDM networks to packet transport networks
- Enables you to deploy new packet transport networks
- Provides architectural flexibility with support for:
– MPLS-TP
– IP/MPLS
– Carrier Ethernet transport
- Provides data plane and control plane flexibility in network deployments
- Enables service providers to provide the following for residential and business customers:
– Mobile back-haul
– Ethernet services
– TDM services

This section describes the following:
Understanding CPT Cards
Note CPT System is displayed as “PT System” in the Prime Optical user interface.
The CPT System is supported on the CPT 200 and CPT 600 chassis. The CPT 200 chassis consists of two service slots and has a 160-GB switch capacity. The CPT 600 chassis consists of six service slots and has a 480-GB switch capacity.
The following are the CPT cards:
The PTSA_GE panel is a standalone unit and can be connected to the PT System. The PTSA_GE panel enables the number of ports to be scaled on the CPT System. For more information, see Slot Properties—PTSA_GE.
PTF_10GE_4 and PT_10GE_4 cards are supported on the CPT 200 and CPT 600 platforms. The CPT System complies with RoHS-6 standards.
The following system configuration is recommended on the CPT 200 shelf:
- Standalone PTF_10GE_4 card
- Standalone TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card
- One or more PTSA_GE panels
The following system configuration is recommended on the CPT 600 shelf:
- Redundant PTF_10GE_4 cards
- One PT_10GE_4 card
- Redundant TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE cards
- One or more PTSA_GE panels
The CPT System integrates DWDM, OTN, Ethernet, and standards-based MPLS-TP in a single system. The CPT System also integrates with other Cisco platforms such as the ONS 15454, and Carrier Routing System to deliver a combined IP/MPLS and MPLS-TP solution under a single control plane, forwarding mechanism, and NMS. This solution enables you to interoperate with existing IP/MPLS networks.
The CPT System works in the metro edge and access portion of the network, providing an integrated packet and transport solution. The CPT System significantly reduces rack space and power consumption.
The following sections describe the CPT cards:
Overview of the CPT System Property Sheet
For descriptions of the CPT System, CPT cards, and LACP, see the following sections:
Note CPT System is displayed as “PT System” in the Prime Optical user interface.
When you choose Configuration > NE Explorer for the ONS 15454 SONET or ONS 15454 SDH, the window that Prime Optical displays consists of a tree on the left side and a properties pane on the right. The tree provides a hierarchical view of the NEs physical shelves and slots. In the tree, click PT System to open the PT System property sheet. The properties pane shows information about the PT System.
This section includes:
When you open the PT System, the default property displayed is the Identification property.
Identification
The Identification property displays the list of CPT cards managed by the PT System. The Identification property displays the details in a table. The table has two columns:
- Physical Location—Displays the following details:
– Shelf number
– Slot number
– Fan-Out-Group (FOG) number
- Module Name—Displays the name of the card or panel.
Configuration Mode
The Configuration Mode property is display only. The Operation Mode field in the Configuration Mode property displays the operation mode of the PT System. The operation mode can be IOS Mode or CTC Mode.
Note If you switch from CTC Mode to IOS Mode, all the Layer 2 services are deleted automatically.
In IOS Mode, you cannot perform the following operations:
- Create Layer 2 services
- View Layer 2 services
- Modify Layer 2 services
- Trace Layer 2 services
- Troubleshoot Layer 2 services
Note The Configuration Mode is displayed as IOS Mode in Prime Optical Release 10.6 because the IOS Mode contains the CPT device. You do not have to configure the CPT device in IOS Mode.
IOS CLI
Monitor Layer 2 service level performance counters using the IOS CLI property. From the PT System IOS CLI Interface area, click Launch CLI.
- If you are using a Linux operating system, an xterm window runs a Telnet tunnel connection to the active PTF_10GE_4 card IOS console of the PT System.
- If you are using a Windows operating system and if Telnet is installed on the PC running the Prime Optical client, Telnet is directly used to open the tunnel connection.
From the IOS CLI window, you can run the show interfaces command. You can also run other Cisco IOS commands on the IOS CLI, but it depends on the security settings and the account active on the PT System.
Timing
A separate external TDM circuit is required to provide synchronized timing to multiple remote NEs for packet transport networks such as the CPT System. The Synchronous Ethernet (SycnE) feature addresses this requirement by providing effective timing to the remote NEs through a packet network without using an external circuit for timing.
The Timing property allows you to configure SyncE ports.
Table 13-3 describes the Timing property Table fields.
Table 13-3 Field Descriptions for the Timing Property Table

Overrides the synchronization status message (SSM) and the synchronization traceability unknown (STU) value. If the node does not receive an SSM signal, it defaults to STU. The options are:
- PRS—Primary reference source (Stratum 1)
- ST2—Stratum 2
- TNC—Transit node clock
- ST3E—Stratum 3E
- ST3—Stratum 3

- RES—Reserved; quality level set by the user
|
Send DoNotUse |
When checked, sends a DUS message as the QL value. |
ESMC Enable |
Check the check box on the port where you want to enable SyncE. You can select the clock source among the Ethernet Synchronization Message Channel (ESMC) enabled ports. To select the clock source among the OTN ports, do not check the check box. |
